Was Janet taking the initiative to propose a divorce?Janet did not care about his expression. She waved to the waiter beside her, placed her champagne flute on the waiter’s tray, and turned to leave.She could not believe how ridiculous she was to have loved Notus!She had thought that even though Notus only married her for her family and wealth, she would accept it as long as he remained faithful and did not seek that other woman!She has spent decades competing with that other woman for Notus’s heart. She had sacrificed so much just for Notus to not even spare her a glance. In fact, he had even insulted her, belittled her, and ignored her all these years.She finally realized that there was no reason for this marriage to continue.“Stop right there!”Notus raised his voice and said unhappily, “Janet! Stop right there!”Janet straightened her back and did not even stop in her tracks.Her high heels clicked on the marble floor, decisive and resolute.This attracted everyone’
The car in the lead was a domestically produced business car. It was followed by a few cars of the same brand. They were all black, mysterious, and somber.Compared to Duke Charles’s appearance, this was very low-key.However, just the act of being able to pass through the cordoned-off road was very high-profile.The car stopped at the entrance in an orderly manner.One bodyguard stepped forward respectfully and opened the car door.At this moment, the members of the Acker family and the Lockton family came out to welcome the new guest. They shook hands with them amiably and then welcomed them in.Everyone present and the people watching the live broadcast were stunned.“Guys, do any of you know this big shot?”“The members of the two families personally came out to welcome him. He has to be someone of equal status, right?”“Wait, do you think it’s Mr. Blakewell’s grandfather?”“I don’t think so. Since Ruth’s family is here, it must be someone from her side.”“Hmm! That co
“Don’t blame me! That brat lied to me and said that she wanted to keep a low profile! What lies! I kept a low profile, but her father made it so grand! This makes me look very stingy as a grandfather! I can’t have that!”“That’s right! Was he afraid that we’d steal his limelight? He gets to walk Ruth down the aisle publicly! What’s there to be jealous about? Why did he still set us up?” Julius, who was behind Frederick, grumbled angrily.Frederick snorted. “No, we have to think of a way to give out wedding favors as well!”At this point, Julius was in a difficult position. “Dad, we should have done that in advance. We don’t have time for it now.”Julius was afraid that by the time they were done, the wedding would have ended.“Why not? Can’t you get someone to send a few helicopters over?” Frederick asked casually.Julius was speechless.Piers hid in the corner of the elevator, not daring to respond at all.He did not want to get caught in the crossfire.The elevator dinged an
The guests were dressed to the nines in the wedding hall.The orchestra played soft music, which added to the classy and elegant air of the wedding.The arrival of Frederick and Julius made the banquet even more extravagant. More people started to show up after their introductions.A foreign young man looked at them in confusion.Seeing that a few people had left, he took a few steps forward to greet Frederick in fluent Endorese.The translator at the side conveyed his message to Frederick.Frederick nodded slightly at him with a lukewarm expression.He was much colder than he was with the other people earlier.The foreigner was quickly squeezed out of the circle. He asked the accompanying translator in confusion, “Does he not like me?”The translator smiled and said in a formal tone, “It might be a misunderstanding. There’s a language barrier, so there will inevitably be some hiccups.”The young man was confused. “But Prince William’s good friend was very friendly to me. He’
Ruth explained seriously, “A bridesmaid stays by the bride’s side and serves her at all times!”Pearl came back to her senses. “I know! But you have so many bridesmaids. No one will notice if I leave! I’ll be back soon!”Ruth looked at her coldly.Pearl’s smile slowly disappeared, and her voice became more serious. “You’re right. We’re besties. If I leave, everyone will notice! I can’t leave!”When the two of them returned to the dressing room together, the frenzied people inside heaved sighs of relief.“The two of you are finally back! Why are you running around at such a critical moment? If you don’t change your clothes soon, we’re going to be late!” As the person spoke, she took out the Lady in Red jewelry set.At the same time, the person in charge of Ouyan also took out the fiery red wedding gown.Ruth and Pearl cooperated with the stylists. Soon, they had changed into their clothes and had donned jewelry.Ruth had a slightly different makeup look this time. It was more pr
On the high platform facing the door, Abel was wearing a fiery red suit to match Ruth’s dress. His temperament was extraordinary. However, his usually cold face looked softer.Separated by a sea of people, he looked over and walked toward Ruth.The crowd automatically opened up a path for him.Abel smiled. “Are you nervous?”His familiar voice easily dispelled Ruth’s anxiety. She blinked and asked, “How is that possible?”Her voice was calm and composed, but only she knew that as she watched him walk toward her, her heart beat even faster.She was not nervous.She was excited.Their relationship had started off as a misunderstanding, but so many things had changed…For the first half of her life, Ruth had lived in a loveless household. Ever since her mother passed away and her grandfather fell sick, she had been treated terribly…She never expected to have found such a tender love.Abel was bad at showing his affection, but he always respected her opinions and put her first.
Julius realized what he had said and looked guilty for a moment. He explained awkwardly, “I didn’t mean it like that. I just…”“You’re right. If she knows the truth, she might not acknowledge me.” Charles’s low voice sounded a little disappointed.Julius was speechless.He really wanted to slap himself.He always spoke without thinking.Abel held Ruth’s hand as they walked down the aisle. Behind them were bridesmaids in pink dresses. The best man appeared out of nowhere and consciously followed Abel on the other side.They reached the altar.The host also came back to his senses and quickly improvised. He made a concise speech and moved things along.However, there was a problem.When it came to seating the family of the bride, there were many guests who were not satisfied with the distribution of seats.The head of the Lockton family sat in the middle of the table with Frederick and the head of the Acker family by his side.However, there was a scuffle between Charles and
“Of course, Father deserves this seat the most, but Julius has come a long way to attend my wedding. We can’t push him away, right?” Ruth’s gentle voice sounded.Charles turned around and met Ruth’s eyes.He was stunned for a few seconds before he reacted.Was she talking about them?Was she saying that because they were family, she knew there would be no hard feelings if she seated him further away?Charles let out a small sigh of relief.He covered his mouth and coughed lightly. With the posture of a generous host, he gestured for Julius to sit at the seat they were squabbling about and then seated himself further away.When Abel saw this, he smiled.He met Ruth’s eyes and nodded in approval.“You did great.”“He’s a man. It’s easy to manipulate him like this!”Abel narrowed his eyes and looked at her with a strange gaze.There were no issues with Abel’s parents. Gabriel and Lyla sat at their assigned seats.Then the host announced that the parents of the couple would be
