Vera Wang was the world’s most famous wedding dress designer.Her full name was Vera Ellen Wang.Even the daughter of the former President Clinton of the United States wore a wedding dress designed by her when she got married.David Beckham’s wife, Victoria, had also worn a wedding dress designed by Vera Wang when she married David Beckham. Even the famous Britney Spears and the granddaughter of the Macau Gambling King wore the wedding dresses designed by her to the wedding hall.With Vera Wang’s international influence, she would generally only open stores in the largest top cities around the world. The reason why she decided to open her store in Aurous Hill, which was a second-tier city, was mainly because she had a very good personal relationship with Jasmine. Jasmine really loved all of her wedding dresses’ designs. So, Jasmine was also very willing to invest in her shop.Vera Wang specialized in designing wedding dresses. Generally speaking, the price of any random wedding dr
Since Claire was so good to her, Magnolia felt that Claire would definitely not harm her in any way.Charlie drove the car directly to Jasmine’s bridal shop.Even Claire was a little surprised when he stopped the car.She had just asked him to look for a friend so they could borrow a better wedding dress from them. However, she really did not expect him to be able to borrow a wedding dress here!This was the store owned by the world’s top wedding dress designer, Vera Wang!Even Claire did not dare to expect to have the opportunity to wear such a top and luxurious wedding dress.Moreover, she really did not expect her husband to be so resourceful even in this area.Could it be that the bridal shop also requested for Charlie’s help to look at their Feng Shui?As she was deep in thoughts, Charlie had already pushed his car door open as he got out of the car.At this time, a tall, charming and noble woman walked out of the bridal shop. Claire realized that she knew who this woman
Claire and Magnolia were both a little nervous as they wondered whether they should go in at this time.Both of them knew very well that this brand of wedding dresses was very expensive. Moreover, it was by no means affordable for ordinary people.It would already cost them about tens of thousands of dollars to rent a high-end custom wedding dress at any general bridal shop.These wedding dresses were designed by Vera Wang and it would cost them at least six figures to rent any one of their wedding dresses for a day.If they were to buy one of these wedding dresses, then it would be even more expensive and it would cost at least several million dollars!Magnolia felt that she was not worthy of such an expensive wedding dress. Even if she were to just touch the wedding dress, she was afraid that she would not be able to afford to repay the other party for the wedding dress if she damaged it.So, how could she possibly dare to attend her wedding in such an expensive wedding dress?
Claire helped her choose a very beautiful wedding dress with a tube top. After that, she said, “I think this one suits you very well. It is very dignified and elegant and it will also reveal your collarbone, which is very temperamental.”Magnolia hesitated for a moment before she said, “We’ll just go with your suggestion then. I really don’t know how to choose…”Jasmine smiled as she said, “Mrs. Wade has very good taste. This wedding dress had the highest ratings and preference here. I too think that this wedding dress suits Miss Zevell’s figure and temperament very well.”Immediately after that, Jasmine asked two very professional bridal shop assistants to come over. Both of them immediately took the wedding dress before they respectfully led Magnolia to the fitting room.After a few minutes, Magnolia came out wearing a white and elegant wedding dress with a tube top. She felt a little unnatural as she walked out of the fitting room.Claire’s eyes lit up immediately as she exclai
Claire suddenly felt jealous at this moment.She guessed that Jasmine must have had a very good impression of her husband, Charlie.Otherwise, she would not be looking at her husband like this.This made Claire suddenly realize that she and her husband were not close and intimate enough. That was the reason why there was still a certain distance between them.This distance would make it especially easy for a third party to intervene in their relationship.If they both had very close and deep feelings for one another and if their hearts were close to one another, then it would be naturally impossible for them to leave any gaps for a third party to interfere in their relationship.As she thought about this, Claire suddenly felt an unprecedented impulse.At this moment, Charlie saw that Claire was still in a daze and he said to her quickly, “Dear, we have to leave quickly or we’ll be late.”Claire only recovered her senses then before she nodded unnaturally and said hurriedly, “Th
At this time, Draco’s father who was standing aside also said, “Draco, you should really listen to your parents regarding this matter. The most important thing when you’re getting married is to find a bride from a family that is an appropriate match with us in terms of social status. The Scotson family might not be a very wealthy or powerful family but we also have a net worth of tens of millions of dollars. Among our family, relatives, and friends, our family is considered the wealthiest of all. If you listen to me and find another young lady who is equally matched or even richer than our family, then the strength of our family will be even more outstanding in the Scotson family.”Having said this, his father sighed regretfully as he said, “You’re such a disobedient child. You could have looked for any young woman but you found a woman who comes from such a poor family. Wouldn’t our relatives and friends treat us as a laughing stock then?”Draco felt incomparable pain and suffering
The pitiful Draco did not even know what kind of plot his parents were hatching at this time.He was still waiting for his most beloved woman to appear.However, as time passed, he also began to feel a little worried.He was not afraid that Magnolia would change her mind. However, he was just afraid that Magnolia’s parents would not agree to let her marry him today.At this time, there was the roaring sound of a super sports car on the road.Every one of the Scotson family’s relatives and friends were all attracted to the beast-like roaring sound.Then, someone shouted, “F*ck! It turns out to be the Bugatti Veyron!”“Seriously!” Draco’s cousin, Hans Scotson, looked at the Bugatti Veyron that was approaching in the distance as he said in amazement, “This is a Hermes limited edition Bugatti Veyron and there is only one of this car available in this whole country! I saw this car at the Aurous Hill International Automobile Show some time ago. It is said that a mysterious and wealthy
Everyone was even more surprised at this time.Were these two cars really heading for the banquet hall?There was only one family who would be holding a wedding in the banquet hall today. Could they really be here for the wedding?However, every member of the Scotson family understood very well in their hearts. In the entire Scotson family, Draco’s father was indeed the wealthiest amongst them. However, he only had about tens of millions of dollars’ worth of assets. As for the others, they would probably have about ten million dollars, and those who were not so well off would probably have about a few million dollars’ worth of assets. At most, they could only be regarded as part of the middle class in Aurous Hill and they could not be regarded as being part of the upper class at all.So, given their family social status, how could they possibly have such a powerful friend?As everyone was still feeling puzzled, Charlie took the initiative to open the car door of the Bugatti Veyron
As such, intent on keeping up his pretense, Jacob answered the phone, "Looking for me, Matilda?""Uh-huh," Matilda replied, and asked, "You didn't show up at Senior University, and your sub is saying you probably won't be coming for a while? Is that true?""Oh—right, that," Jacob quickly said. "Well, it's true—the gist of it is that the Association is getting busy with a project. As the vice president, I probably shouldn't be staying at Senior University all the time, right?""Heck, Mr. Bay called me last minute, telling me how busy we're going to be and that I was needed. That's why I had to go back, but I will head over to campus again when I have the time."Matilda knew right then that those were all excuses.However, she did not expose Jacob, instead asking, "Well, when are you free? So that I can send you my wedding invitation?""Oh, the invitation?" Jacob quickly chuckled. "You really didn't have to come to me—just pass it to Walker, my sub lecturer. He can pass it to me wh
The next afternoon, there was a sudden change of lecturers for the calligraphy class.Despite being the vice president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association, Jacob never showed up, instead getting a substitute instructor to replace him.Matilda had come with the invitation Yolden had written for Jacob, but seeing that Jacob wasn't at the lecture hall, she waited until the class was over to ask the sub, "Excuse me, can I ask why Mr. Wilson wasn't teaching this class?""He's busy at the association," the sub replied. "So, I'm taking over his class."Curious, Matilda pressed, "Then, would you happen to know when he will be coming?""Probably not for a while," the sub replied. "He delegated other classes to me as well, telling me that I could just stick to the PowerPoint slides."Then, he asked, "Do you have business with Mr. Wilson?"Matilda nodded. "Yes, but I can call him myself. Thank you."Leaving the lecture hall, Matilda called Jacob, who was goofing off in his office
On the other end, Matilda was left staring at Jacob's reply in confusion.She had presumed that Jacob would understand when she mentioned inviting his whole family that he should be coming up with an excuse to skip attending her wedding.That was the most ideal solution.As such, she was shocked that instead of playing along, Jacob's reply was short and blunt.[No problem. The four of us will be there!]Perplexed, Matilda was left wondering what Jacob meant. Was he really going to attend her wedding with Elaine?The thought left Matilda frowning as she absolutely didn't want to see Elaine—especially not at her own wedding.Yolden was writing an invitation when he saw the somber look on her face, and he couldn't help asking, "Is there a problem?""Jacob replied," Matilda admitted. "And he's saying that he will bring his whole family.""Really?" Yolden was confused too, as he was hardly as eccentric as Jacob. "But he's afraid of his wife and shouldn't be telling her at all…
Charlie was driving Jacob to Thompson First when the latter received the text from Matilda.Seeing that they were reaching the front gates, Jacob promptly snapped at Charlie, "Charlie, stop the car now!"Charlie did so and asked in curiosity, "What's wrong?""Matilda just texted me," Jacob replied, showing the chat log between him and Matilda.Charlie was just glancing at it nonchalantly when he saw that Matilda's contact name was 'AAA July Florist'."Wait, why is that Aunt Matilda's contact name?" He exclaimed in surprise."I changed it."Jacob explained gingerly while reading through the text Matilda sent. "Her profile picture is an iris, so I changed her contact name to a florist since I'm mostly worried Elaine would peek into my phone.""Anyway, she's asking if I'm attending her wedding with Yolden. They would send us an invitation if I accept, extended to our whole family… what do you think I should say?"Charlie asked in return. "You're planning to skip it, aren't you? T
Then, Matilda suggested, "How about this—I'll ask him before deciding." "I'll pass on inviting the rest of my former classmates too. They're too vain and love comparing, so I'd rather not have anything to do with that. Also, there are our Korean friends who have it together, and they were telling us to invite them if we were going to get married. We have to keep our promise, right?""Yeah—then, it's basically decided. Aside from Charlie, we shall invite our colleagues and Korean friends while we wait for an answer from Jacob."Yolden nodded and said, "Now, I'll talk about the honeymoon—cut me short if you have a different opinion."Matilda nodded, resting her chin on her hands and smiling. "Shoot. I'm all ears."Feeling a little embarrassed by Matilda's glowing stare, Yolden took a sip of his ice water before continuing, "My idea is to head to the States for our honeymoon after the wedding…"He trailed off, staring at Matilda and waiting for a response.However, she was merely
"Oh, Jacob…?"Matilda chuckled awkwardly. "Just today, he offered to buy me dinner, but I said I didn't have the time, and I also told him about our wedding… So, we should invite him since he's aware of it.""Jacob offered to buy you dinner?" Yolden exclaimed in surprise. "Did he say why?""Nope," Matilda shrugged, smiling. "Probably just dinner between old classmates."However, she was actually smart enough to guess Jacob's intention even though Jacob was inviting her somewhere near campus. That was why she had also mentioned she was marrying Yolden while turning down Jacob, all so that he would give up on her.After she had managed to get over their past fling completely, she didn't want to give Jacob false hopes before she walked down the aisle.In the same regard, she didn't want to worry Yolden, and therefore, had deliberately discouraged Jacob.Be that as it may, Yolden was smart too.He knew about Matilda and Jacob's past and that her son, Paul's full name was Paul Jam
Before Charlie had arrived, Jacob was still furious that Matilda would soon marry Yolden.After Charlie came, however, he was instead worried that Matilda would send him a wedding invitation.Meanwhile, Matilda and Yolden were discussing their list of guests.They had different social circles, but most of their friends were Stateside, and they only had some distant relatives in this country.Still, they had colleagues in Aurous Hill. Matilda had classmates too, but she was out of touch with them aside from Jacob, whom she often met.Still, as they discussed who should be invited, Matilda first suggested, "Let's go through everyone. First, our Stateside friends… I don't think we should tell them at all since it's a long journey, and inviting them would seem tactless. What do you think?"Yolden nodded, smiling, "I was just thinking the same thing. We're close with our Stateside friends and always keep in touch, but inviting them to our wedding might be a stretch. We'd just hit a wa
With that being said, once Matilda was thrown in the mix, Elaine would suddenly become an African honey badger, with every bit of black air force energy that was implied.As such, if Jacob had managed to be brave and take that one step back then, Charlie would have tried to help, stopping Elaine from harassing Jacob or Matilda.However, the reality was that Jacob had to bungle the chance when Matilda offered it to him.That was why the best option was for Jacob to understand that he couldn't get together with Matilda now so that he would feel much better.And since he had always been a coward, Charlie's slight intimidation cleared his head considerably.He then sighed, "Well, that's just life—you don't always get what you want, and you should never try to claim what you couldn't. I couldn't bring myself to choose Matilda over thirty years ago, so not being together now only makes sense.""Now, I can only pray that Elaine never finds out… or at least that things don't get out of h
Then, Jacob quickly pressed, "Dear boy, maybe you could stay a few days instead of taking more jobs. At least you could be there to stop my wife if she snaps.""Sure," Charlie chuckled, cheerfully agreeing to it. "Don't worry—Claire's returning in a couple of days too, and you'll be fine with us around. You're cheating in your mind, anyway…"Pausing, he then added a reminder, "But if she's really furious, just bear with her beatings and clawings. Live and let live, as they say."That left Jacob sulking, however. "What the hell! If I knew this would happen, I should have just taken her to court and divorced her openly! That way, I'd definitely make things work with Matilda. Yolden wouldn't even stand a chance!"Charlie had to keep a straight face. "Now, you're not quite right there—don't you know what would happen to your wife if you took this to court?"Jacob snorted coolly. "Elaine would just snap at me, hit me, and make sure I don't get a cent in the divorce. That's no big deal—
