Forced Marriage: My Wife, My Redemption novel Chapter 236

Chapter 236: what are our options?

The city of Noveria looked stunning at night. Tall buildings lit up in different colors, and the neon lights gave the city a beautiful, glowing look.

Each color reflected off glass buildings and steel towers, painting the metropolis with a panoramic glow of modern elegance.From a distance, it almost looked magical.

A sleek black car cruised through the city’s bustling streets. Its polished surface mirrored the passing streetlights, creating fleeting shadows on its windows.

Advertisements played on large screens around the city, all showing the same message — the grand relaunch of J&D Globals, and a final reminder for everyone to attend before the event doors closed.

Inside the car, Ethan sat in the front passenger seat, his face serious and focused. He had a laptop open on his lap, typing quickly and checking the last-minute details for the event.

At the back of the car, Davis sat silently. His head rested against the seat, and his eyes were closed.

He looked calm, but his hand was tightly clenched around his phone and the tense lines on his face told a different story. His lips were pressed into a thin line, and his eyebrows were slightly furrowed with worry.

His thoughts drifted constantly—away from the event, Now and then, Ethan would speak up to ask something, and Davis would force himself to answer, snapping himself back to the present.

At one point, Davis opened his eyes and quickly dialed a number. The call connected almost immediately.

"Is she awake? Is the doctor still there?" he asked, his voice tight with suppressed emotion.

"Everything is fine, sir. But she hasn’t woken up yet," came Deborah’s calm and clear response.

Davis let out a quiet sigh, then whispered, "Thank you," before ending the call.

About an hour later, the car slowed down at the gates of the Grand Elite Hotel. The hotel stood tall and elegant, glowing in golden light. It looked as grand as its name, with beauty and luxury written all over it.

Outside the hotel, the media was already in place. Reporters and camera crews stood near the entrance, waiting eagerly to snap photos and catch the latest news.

A long red carpet stretched from the front door all the way into the inner hall, ready for guests to make their entrance. A crowd of reporters and media personnel already gathered and cameras ready to capture every arriving guest.

Luxury cars kept arriving, and guests stepped out in stylish suits and sparkling dresses, smiling as they walked down the red carpet.

But Davis and Ethan didn’t follow the crowd.

Instead of stepping out into the spotlight, Ethan quietly wheeled Davis along a side path, away from the flashing cameras and eager journalists.

They entered a private observation room — a space Jessica had arranged ahead of time to give Davis privacy and protect his image from public eyes. Though, it’s supposed to be a grand event but with so many situations around them, it better to be cautious..

Inside the grand hall, the atmosphere was warm and elegant. Soft music played in the background, creating a calm and welcoming mood. Waiters moved around the hall, offering drinks and snacks to the guests.

In one corner, a table was filled with all kinds of delicious food, ready for guests to enjoy. Around the hall, guests greeted each other, shook hands, made toasts, and exchanged business ideas. Laughter, conversation, and the clinking of glasses filled the air.

The seating was arranged in a smart way, leaving enough space for everyone to move and relax comfortably. Above, a grand chandelier shone brightly, casting golden light across the room.

At the far end of the hall, the main stage stood ready—decorated with towering LED screens, poised to broadcast the relaunch presentation and showcase the company’s new products.

A countdown began on the main screen just as Davis and Ethan settled into the observation room.

As the timer hit zero, the Master of Ceremony stepped onto the stage, welcoming the guests and outlining the evening’s program.

One unusual feature in the schedule drew interest: a segment allowing guests to invest on the spot. A bold move—not common, but one Jessica had insisted upon. A safety net, she’d said. Just in case.

It wasn’t a common approach, but Jessica had insisted on including it. She wanted to leave room for surprises — a backup plan, just in case something went wrong.

Following the MC, Mr. Stan, the general manager, took the stage. His speech addressed the group’s fall and its long journey to recovery, but he tactfully avoided sensitive issues.

As his speech concluded, the LED screens played a reel showcasing the company’s research achievements and upcoming product launches—slated to hit the market post-event.

Back in the observation room, Davis was joined by a few close friends who had come to support him—and invest.

Despite the festive ambiance, Davis remained distracted, constantly checking his phone. After a few failed calls, Deborah finally picked up again.

Relief flooded Davis’ face. "Put her on the phone," he said immediately. He needed to hear her voice himself.

After a brief but warm exchange—coaxing and teasing her, he ended the call, a rare smile tugging at his lips. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
