Quinn’s cover of Wakin Chau’s song, , was an old song that had been released back in 1993.Many of the young fans at the scene had never even heard of this song before.However, this song was in itself a classic, and many famous singers had actually covered this song in their concerts before. This song had rarely made an appearance in the public eye in recent years.Quinn sang this song to perfection. Coupled with her perfectly white wedding dress, it simply fitted the temperament of this song perfectly.Most importantly, everyone knew that the reason why Quinn was singing this song was because she wanted to dedicate this song to the prince charming she had been looking for for years.So, this made the fans at the scene feel even more touched beyond measure.Who would have thought that a goddess, who was in the limelight and had the love and attention of thousands of people, would actually be so infatuated with a prince charming from her childh
He even firmly believed in the depths of his heart that Charlie would definitely marry Quinn as soon as the three-year period was up.By then, his life would be absolutely complete. But he would never have dreamt that the apple of his eyes, his precious daughter, would actually give him a surprise at the concert today. Although his daughter, who had put on a wedding dress to make an appearance up on stage, was not really in a wedding scene at the moment, as a father, Yule felt as though half of his wish had already been realized at this moment when he saw his daughter’s current appearance from below the stage. He was naturally feeling incomparably gratified. In addition, he had almost reached the end of his life before this. So, at this moment, he had mixed feelings in his heart.Rachel was also feeling extremely emotional deep in her heart, just like her husband. Her tears were already flowing down her flawless face.When she saw that her husband was also sobbing silently, R
At this moment, Quinn’s cover of on stage had already reached the end. When Quinn finished singing the last note, all of the accompanying instruments at the scene came to an abrupt stop at the same time as her voice.Everyone did not expect that the song would suddenly end as if it had been completely cut off in one swoop. It felt very abrupt, but it also carried an unexpected sense of surprise that was developing into a sense of unfulfillment. What was even more amazing was that just as the sound of the singing and accompanying instruments came to an abrupt end, Quinn, her team of backup dancers, and even her accompaniment team also simultaneously stopped moving at this instant, almost as though they were under a holding technique, and they all remained motionless.The audience below the stage cheered excitedly, and many people shouted out loud as they wanted the prince charming to take the initiative to go up on stage and propose to Quinn.Ho
This was because they knew very well that the performance had already come to an end, and it was time for the audience to be dispersed when the lights were turned on.It was just like how the lights would come on at the end of a movie, to announce the end of the performance.Moreover, Quinn had just used her own handwritten words to say goodbye to everyone. So, there would no longer be any surprises or returns from Quinn in the future.All of the fans sat dumbfounded and frozen in place because they had not recovered and come back to their senses from the words that Quinn had left behind just now.They could not accept the fact that their idol and goddess was suddenly announcing her withdrawal from the entertainment industry without any warning at all!After all, Quinn was not even twenty-five years old yet. She was currently at the ascending period of her career, and if she continued to work hard for a few more years, it would be very likely that Quinn would be able to create the
A long time after Quinn had retired from the scene, there were some fans who came back to their senses and cursed as they took the lead to leave the scene.Many female fans also wiped away their tears as they silently turned to leave.Charlie also heard a pathetic guy behind him cursing as he said, “F*ck! Where the hell did this prince charming pop up from?! He’d better not let me meet him. Otherwise, I will break his legs!”Immediately afterward, someone chimed in, “Brother, count me in! This b*stard actually dared to f*cking steal our wife! He probably does not want to live anymore!”“What is this b*stard actually capable of, anyway?! He could actually make my goddess put on a wedding dress to dedicate a song to him and make her feel the rush to get married to him?! D*mn it! I’m really pissed off!”Charlie only felt chills on his back at this moment. What was a public enemy?This was the people’s f*cking public enemy!Claire, who was aside, was also somewhat disappointed and
Charlie’s wife, Claire, and Sophie walked side by side, and when Sophie saw that Claire’s eyes were flushed red, she asked curiously, “Chairman Wilson, do you like Quinn Golding a lot?”Claire nodded gently and said seriously, “I’ve always liked her. I feel that she does not only sing very well, but she is also a rare and clear stream in the entertainment industry now. She is very clean and pure.”Sophie smiled and said, “There is no doubt about it. She is not only a clear stream, but she is the only clear stream in the entertainment industry.”Claire asked curiously, “What do you mean by that, Miss Schulz?”Sophie smiled and said, “Let me tell you this. In the entertainment industry, there is no shortage of people who are shamelessly seeking personal gains. Some people betray themselves for profit and interest, and some people even falsify their past for the sake of fame. Some people might even tend to curry favor with those who are influential and have power for the sake of a rel
Sophie’s analogy of a fairy descending to earth made Claire nod her head repeatedly after she heard it.Claire felt that what Sophie had said was indeed accurate. Moreover, the true development of things should also be the same as Sophie’s speculation.However, Claire did not know that these words would carry another meaning when Charlie heard them.Charlie knew that when Sophie said these words, it seemed as though she was deliberately giving his wife a reminder. However, Sophie had deliberately given her a reminder in a very vague manner so that Claire would not know that it was related to herself. Charlie did not understand why Sophie had to say all of these things to Claire. Was it because she wanted to give Claire a heads up?Still, Charlie had never once thought about leaving Claire.Or perhaps, Sophie was intentionally saying these words to him?But what was the significance of it?Charlie really did not quite understand it for a while. Moreover, he also could not quite
Loreen recognized Sophie right away. After all, Sophie was the eldest granddaughter of the Schulz family, and she was very famous amongst the circle of rich heirs in Eastcliff. It could also be said that she was the strongest amongst all the young ladies in the Eastcliff socialite circle.Although the both of them were not friends, they were still acquaintances, and they had met during many high-society occasions. Loreen simply did not expect that Sophie would be here.So, Loreen subconsciously asked, “Miss... Miss Schulz, why are you here?”Sophie was also a little surprised. She remembered Loreen, and she knew that she was the young lady of the Thomas family. Although the Thomas family’s strength was quite inferior as compared to that of those top-notch families, no matter what it was, they were still from the same circle, so they had also had some interactions with one another. So, she smiled slightly and said, “Miss Thomas, you’re also here in Aurous Hill. Did you specifical
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—
