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

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

“Heavens! Are you saying that Miss Ruth will enjoy all the benefits of Duke Charles’s position, but does not have any obligations?”“That’s right, and the royal family has admitted to it!”The foreign guests were discussing Duke Charles’s intentions, while the local guests had moved on to another topic.Some gossipy rich ladies were surprised to find that Reina was not present during the gifting ceremony.Reina was Madam Cavendish, after all. Why was she not seated next to Duke Charles?“I thought that the duke would not come because of the Lockton family.”“He’s Ruth’s father in name. Of course, he’s here for her.”“Reina’s daughter is his biological daughter! There’s something wrong with naming Ruth his heir!”“Wait, you’re right! His biological daughter isn’t to be seen!”“Fortunately, only the official media is around and won’t write nonsense. If those tabloid reporters knew about this, the gossip would be endless!”When Ruth heard these voices, her expression turned even

Lily replied, “You said it! You can’t ever go back on your word!”“Obviously.” Ruth rolled her eyes.“Hehehe, the car I just won is a low-end Porsche. Can I get Abel to change it to a Ferrari? I like white ones.”“Get lost.”“Fine! I’ll get lost! I’ll go to the store tomorrow morning to pick up the sad little Porsche!”After hanging up, Ruth stared at her phone screen in a daze.……Lily was waiting in the hall on the first floor. She actually did have a mysterious mission to carry out.Before the wedding started, Reina had given her a blacklist. The people on it were not allowed to enter. There were also some foreign representatives who were not invited but rushed over after hearing the news.She was Duke Charles’s official daughter in public. Making her reject high-profile guests was a smart choice.However, she did not expect that this mission would let her know some unexpected inside information.Denver had just arrived. He was also on the blacklist. Lily only smiled and

Charles and Reina brought Ruth and Abel to greet the guests on Ruth’s side.Well, they said they were guests from the bride’s side, but Ruth barely knew them.She did not know as many people as Abel did.Fortunately, Abel knew them all and had business dealings with them. Things went smoothly.Halfway through, Reina received a call and instructed the waiter to greet Janet at the door.“Are there any more guests coming?” Ruth asked curiously.Reina shook her head. “She’s not considered a guest. She’s Notus’s wife.”Ruth was confused.Seeing that Reina had no other reaction, she did not ask further.Before long, Janet came up right when Ruth and Abel were greeting the members of the Rivas family. “We don’t need introductions here. Take your time. I’ll be back soon,” said Reina.Ruth nodded. “Call me if you need anything.”Ruth turned to the Rivas family members.“Have you settled your family matters? When can you return to the training grounds?” She stared at Piers with a f
