Chapter 289: Engagement

"Raise a glass to our newcomers"

In Osborne Manor, witnessed by many guests, after a series of tedious processes, Chris and Laura successfully made a marriage contract and became an unmarried couple, unaffected by the chaotic world situation.

After all, the place where the war took place is too far away from the United States, so for the time being, the American people should live their lives or not, and only those in the upper echelons are busy.

So in this case, Chris held a regular engagement ceremony, and no one will say anything at all, really want to say, it is also surprised that the famous playboy in the United States is actually getting married?

You must know that Chris is actually not very old, and he is only 25 years old this year, whether it is in the United States or other countries, he has not married at this age, not to mention that Chris is still the richest man in the world, and he has not enjoyed the world for many years, and he is ready to step into the grave of marriage?

Look at another famous playboy, Tony Stark, who is in his thirties, still living a life of drunken dreams, that is, after becoming Iron Man, he has become a little more restrained.

Let's take a look at other business elites, such as Victor von Doom of the Victor Group, Reid Richards of the Reed Group, and Justin Hammer of the Hammer Group, which one is no older than Chris, and they are not married.

But after knowing Chris's betrothal, everyone started to be jealous again.

The richest man in England and even in Europe, a hereditary earl, a young and beautiful adventurer, an archaeologist, and Laura with the same aura as Chris, instantly made headlines in the American media.

The two have also been rendered as the most perfect pair of golden boys and girls in this century.

Of course, the outside world doesn't know Laura's preferences, if they do...... Add ten points to Chris's envy and jealousy, but Chris won't say this kind of thing to the outside world, just enjoy it slowly in private, in case it is known by the river crab god, no matter how strong he is, he will have to die.

There are many people who come to participate in Chris's engagement ceremony, and there are many people from all walks of life in politics, business, and military, but they are all relatively idle people, of course, this is not because of face not enough, in fact, if conditions permit, more than half of the people in the American political arena, including the president, will probably come to participate, and the same is true for the military.

But apparently, because of the sudden outbreak of war in several places, these people were all very busy, and they could only arrange for their subordinates to congratulate them and send some gifts.

So the people who really came to the engagement ceremony were more of the mall figures, including Justin Hammer, Tony Stark, and Chris's good friend Victor, oh yes, and Captain America Steve Rogers...... After dealing with the business people who came to deliberately build relationships, Chris saw Stark and Rogers, who were hiding in the corner and drinking, looking a little unsociable, and I don't know if it was fate, these two guys got together so quickly.

"Hey, I said why are you two hiding here and drinking, look at Victor, look at Hammer, there are so many girls here, Steve, you're going to act, and you, Stark, this is a change of sex?" Chris walked over to the two of them and said hello, comparing them to Victor, who was laughing with Susan, the invisible woman, and Hammer, who was haunted by the flowers.

"Congratulations, Chris, she looks like a good girl" In the face of Chris's ridicule, the American team didn't care, just chuckled and picked up the beer bottle in his hand to raise a glass to Chris to congratulate.

"That's right, the flowers are stuck in the cow dung," Stark said sourly...... Of course, he wasn't jealous, but because he had been miserable by Chris.

Because Chris and Laura are going to get married so soon, but he and Pepper ...... For this matter, Pepper has been giving him a lot of looks recently, but he doesn't want to get married so early, and he always feels that he hasn't reached that time, so Stark can only think that all this is the fault of Chris, the bastard.

"What's wrong? Still missing Ms. Carter? Chris didn't bother to pay attention to Stark's sour words, and instead asked the captain.

"Some things are always not easy to let go, aren't they?" Rogers didn't answer directly, just said with a little bitterness.

"Think about the happy things, look at that girl, she's been paying attention to you for a long time," Chris said, pointing to a girl not far from the captain.

"Why is she here?" Looking in the direction Chris pointed, Rogers frowned, but the girl smiled at the two of them when she saw Chris and Rogers noticing her, and continued to chat with a short-haired girl next to her.

"What's wrong? You know her" Chris feigned surprise, but in fact, of course Chris knew the girl, Sharon Carter, Peggy Carter's niece, S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 13, and the man who was specially sent to protect (and monitor) Captain America.

"Yes, she's my neighbor, supposedly a nurse, and she's your guest?" Rogers wondered if a nurse could come to the Osborne family's engagement party. This is obviously very suspicious.

"Well, I don't know, but I know the person I talked to, it's Rebecca, it's an important research institute in our company's biomedical technology, and her laboratory is in a hospital owned by Osembo, maybe she brought it in" Chris didn't reveal Carter's identity to Rogers, and even covered up for the other party.

Rogers nodded when he heard this, and didn't say much, and the atmosphere was awkward for the time being.

"Actually, Steve, if you really love Ms. Carter that much, I have a way to help you" After a moment of silence, Chris suddenly spoke to Rogers.

"Help me? How can it help? Rogers smiled, thinking that Chris was joking.

"If you're interested, you can come back to me" Chris looked at Stark on the side and didn't continue.

However, Chris's performance aroused Stark's curiosity, but before he could speak, an uninvited guest approached, it was Justin Hammer.

"Haha, hello everyone, Chris, how can you, the host, not receive guests, hide here and drink stuffy," Hammer said to Chris Lang after coming over.

As for Stark and the captain, he naturally ignored them.

Of course, this is his intention, with Hammer Industries eating almost all of Osborne's military industry, now Hammer has become the hottest business star in the American military industry, Stark, an outdated guy, can no longer let him face it.

In this regard, Chris can only say let him go, how to say, this master, can be regarded as a pick-up man for himself, he has to make people proud for a while, right?
