Chapter 599 Are You Happy?

Jett was overwhelmed by a rush of emotions from her sudden change. His heart pounded so hard it felt like it might burst out of his chest.

Emily had always had this powerful, independent vibe. She was naturally confident and decisive, which often made Jett feel a bit inadequate around her.

If it weren't for his grandfather's support and encouragement, he might never have had the guts to stand before Emily and confess his feelings.

Taking a deep breath, Jett tried to calm his nerves and excitement. He didn't go for the typical proposal setup with candles, balloons, or drones to create a romantic atmosphere.

Instead, he clapped his hands solemnly, and in an instant, the butler led a large group of well-trained servants who quickly assembled from all directions, forming a grand line behind Jett.

With trembling hands, Jett took a delicate emerald velvet box from the butler.

The box had an ancient and mysterious vibe, like it carried the Lawson Family's centuries-old honor and legacy. Jett carefully opened the box and slowly revealed its contents to Emily.

Emily's eyes were immediately drawn to it. She had seen countless pieces of jewelry, and since returning to the Watson Family, her grandfather had given her many of her grandmother's old jewels.

However, her grandfather had spent the first half of his life in academia as a university professor before venturing into the business world. While their life was comfortable, it was far from extravagant. So, the jewelry he gave her was valuable for its materials, but in terms of craftsmanship and luxurious design, it couldn't compare to the necklace before her.

The necklace lay quietly in the box, its soft morning light reflecting a warm and enchanting glow, like a deep, clear pool of water, both transparent and mysterious, drawing one in.

Emily understood that this necklace must have an extraordinary history and profound significance.

Sure enough, Jett gently lifted the necklace from the box, holding it with both hands, and solemnly said to Emily, "This is the Lawson Family heirloom. My grandfather hopes it will bring me good luck in proposing to you."

With that, he slowly knelt on one knee, his eyes filled with anticipation and nervousness, waiting for Emily's response.

Emily's mind was in turmoil, and she took a half-step back in disbelief.

Countless images flashed through her mind: the promise she made to her grandfather, a sense of responsibility and duty; the deal she made with Paul, a game of interests and emotions; and Elizabeth's crazy and terrifying actions. She knew she was now at the center of a storm with no way out.

After a brief hesitation, Emily resolutely stepped forward, gently touching the emerald necklace.

At that moment, a crowd of reporters with cameras suddenly appeared, their flashes capturing the scene for eternity.

Soon after, Joe arrived with two children in a long Rolls-Royce, solemnly stepping out of the car to stand behind Jett, adding a sense of gravity and sanctity to the proposal.

Emily looked at everything before her, feeling a surge of inexplicable emotion, her eyes welling up with tears. The onlookers began to cheer, "Say yes! Say yes!" their voices rising in unison, as if they might lift the entire square.

Without much hesitation, Emily took the necklace, held it to her chest, feeling the cool metal against her skin, and then extended her hand to Jett, saying, "I, I will."

Jett's face lit up with a radiant smile. He stood up joyfully and pulled Emily into a tight embrace, as if he wanted to merge her into his life.

Emily was caught off guard by the sudden hug and gently pushed against Jett's chest. Realizing his overenthusiasm, Jett awkwardly let go.

Emily, showing a rare hint of shyness, softly said, "If we're going to do this, shouldn't you put it on me?"

Jett, snapping back to reality, carefully placed the Lawson Family heirloom necklace around Emily's neck in front of everyone.

Then, he leaned in and whispered in her ear, "Emily, I meant it when I proposed. I hope you truly accept me, not just for show."

Emily, her expression calm, turned to Jett and said, "I genuinely agree to be your wife, but only on paper. You know I don't love you. I can't deceive you, but you'll be a great business partner, and I think I will be too."

Jett's smile turned bittersweet as he sighed and said, "Alright, then I'll use my sincerity to win you over. I believe you'll love me someday, Emily."

Emily rolled her eyes and turned back to face the cameras, quickly adjusting her expression to one of shy happiness, as if she had just experienced a romantic and genuine proposal.

Soon, news of Emily accepting Jett's proposal spread like wildfire, becoming the talk of the town.

At the Apex Global Enterprises headquarters in Lumina, Elizabeth, holding her phone, wore a nearly twisted expression of excitement. She pounced on Vincent's desk like a swift leopard, shoving the phone screen in his face, exclaiming, "Vincent, look! Isn't that your niece from Mosterwania? She's getting married again! Are you happy?"
