"Do you have anything to say to the people present?" Michelle asked again, his tone gentle.
Xia Weiyi shook her head.
Michelle didn't insist. He picked up the microphone, glanced at the crowd, and finally fixed his gaze on Alice and Aberji. Then, word by word, he spoke with utmost clarity.
"From now on, Xia Weiyi is my daughter and the sole heir of the Michelle Family. Whoever dares to bully her will be opposing the entire Michelle Family, and I will retaliate a hundredfold!"
People in the audience thought Michelle was merely boosting Xia Weiyi's prestige, but only Ye Che clearly saw the genuineness from the depths of Michelle's eyes and his indulgence towards Xia Weiyi.
After Michelle finished speaking, he walked down from the podium holding Xia Weiyi's hand. He then led her to toast with each of the important nobles present.
At each person's side, he cheerfully said, "This is my lovely daughter, isn't she beautiful?"
The nobles all accompanied him with respectful smiles.
