On December 25th, the wedding of Edward and Felicia took place amid the blessings of their families and friends. The wedding ceremony was held at the largest event venue in the country, adorned with splendid fresh flowers. The dominant color scheme was white and beige. The grandstand was covered with vibrant red roses, and in the center stood an exquisitely carved white swan statue. Crystal chandeliers adorned the entire hall. It could be said that there were no words to describe the elegance of the wedding.“I must admit that Mr. Swan’s son-in-law has invested a lot in this wedding. Just a rough estimate, and this wedding must have cost millions!” A guest couldn’t help but exclaim.Speaking of wedding guests, it seemed like a gathering of the most influential people in the city. Mr. Swan’s friends were no strangers to wealth and power. On Edward’s side, he was no less influential. Having recently been appointed in the company, his relations with high-ranking individuals were quite fa
After receiving guests from both sides, Mrs. Goreng went to the backyard alone for a stroll. She was the type of person who enjoyed tranquility. Meetings and parties were no longer suitable for her. Initially, upon learning of her intentions, Mr. Benson wanted to accompany her, feeling somewhat uneasy about her being alone. However, Mrs. Goreng preferred the solitude. Today was her son’s wedding day, and she couldn’t avoid contemplating a few things. Moreover, both of them were considered hosts of today’s feast. If both of them went inside and something happened, no one would be there to handle it, not to mention it would show a lack of respect for the bride’s family.After an unsuccessful attempt to persuade her, Mr. Benson finally allowed Mrs. Goreng to go alone. He went inside to continue receiving guests.In the backyard, Mrs. Goreng walked and hummed a tune. Today, she was genuinely happy. Edward seemed to have stabilized somewhat, and after marrying Felicia, he would have his ow
Mrs. Goreng, after hearing all this, was left dumbfounded, unable to believe her ears. She looked up at the woman in front of her, stuttering as she asked, "What... what did you say?"Seizing the opportunity, the server grabbed Mrs. Goreng's arm, chuckled arrogantly, and pushed her into a corner. "Seems like your old ears are failing you. Let me repeat it for you. Your son, Edward, traded a lifetime of happiness to save your life. But where did all this trouble come from? You were wealthy, so why the sudden hardship? If you had just swallowed your pride, your son wouldn't have to endure such a miserable life, and he wouldn't have to involve himself in this political marriage."The server's words felt like deadly stabs to Mrs. Goreng's heart, leaving her dizzy. She recalled Edward's words. Was it all a façade?Her heart felt as if it had just withstood an enormous blow. However, Mrs. Goreng managed to maintain some last shreds of clarity and resistance. Edward had never lied to her bef
“Lie, you lie!” Mrs. Goreng covered her ears, her head was hurting like hell, she couldn't believe what the woman had just said. It is clear that Felicia married Edward for love, it is clear that this was not a political marriage. She felt the feelings that Felicia had for Edward, and moreover, Edward would not lie to her.“What is your intention when you tell me these things! Don't think your baseless words can fool me! That's is no way!"The female waitress burst out laughing when she heard that. She knew that if she said these things, Mrs. Goreng would react like that. However, if she came here today and dared to say those things, she must have been prepared in advance.“Lady Goreng, my words are not baseless.” Saying that, the waitress took out an old phone from her pocket. After a few steps, she brought a video clip to Mrs. Goreng's house, or more accurately, an extracted camera clip.“Lady Goreng, look what your beloved son did to save you!”In the video, a young man is pleading
Felicia looked back in amazement; her mother had previously instructed that the bride should meet no one before the wedding, and everyone should create a private space for her. It was considered a tradition to show dignity and ceremony. So why was there someone behind her? Could it be that the person behind was unaware of this tradition?“Felicia, what’s wrong?” Seeing Felicia silent, the woman behind her asked again.“Sorry, but I must respectfully decline your proposal. We have a tradition that the bride, before getting married, should meet no one outside, especially when I don’t even know who you are.”The woman smiled gently and whispered in Felicia’s ear, “Felicia, this tradition is outdated, and you don’t have to follow your mother’s strict rules!”“Thank you for your kind suggestion, but I prefer to stick to our traditions.” Felicia tactfully declined; she didn’t know the woman, and there was no reason for her to follow her.The woman frowned slightly, initially assuming that F
" What did you say?" The other woman raised her face to look at Felicia. She really didn't understand what Felicia meant. Furthermore, it was clear that Felicia was already planning to step forward, just a little more, just one more step and her intention would be fulfilled. Felicia's attitude couldn't help but make her feel worried, it seemed like Felicia didn't want to move forward anymore.“Felicia, let's stop talking about unrelated things now! Let's return to the main topic, just take one step forward and I will tell you everything about your future husband. One more step, Felicia.”Felicia said nothing, a slight smile appeared on her lips.“Let me show you something!”After Felicia finished speaking, she leaned back directly. The other woman couldn't help but be startled when she saw that. However, what surprised her even more was that Felicia did not fall back. Felicia's back was floating in the air, but her feet remained firmly on the railing. Felicia's legs felt like they wer
“What’s going on?” Felicia asked while running after her older sister.Olivia rushed forward without pausing, believing the person lying there was in critical condition. At this moment, she had no time to explain further to Felicia.As for Mrs. Goreng, her head pounded like a sledgehammer, and her heart raced to where she felt she couldn’t breathe. Thoughts swirled in her mind, her eyes gradually closing, a tear falling from the corner of her eye. As Mrs. Goreng thought she was about to die, suddenly a slender arm touched her back, incessantly shaking her.“Madam, madam, are you okay?” Olivia spoke while shaking Mrs. Goreng. The situation in front of her left even someone as composed as Olivia, unsure of what to do. The person underneath remained motionless, and she didn’t know what was wrong or how to handle it.“What’s happening?” Felicia urgently asked her sister.“I don’t know; someone fainted here!” Olivia said while looking around, but there was no one else. Only the three of th
“Mom, are you okay?” Edward hurriedly ran back to his mother, his face unable to hide the worry.Mrs. Goreng, upon hearing Edward’s voice, lifted her head, her gaze complex as she looked at him. The story of the other woman kept replaying in her mind. Edward dropped out of school, Edward faced criticism, and Edward married Felicia to provide money for her treatment.“Mom, what’s wrong? How do you feel inside?” Seeing his mother remaining silent, Edward couldn’t help but feel anxious. She was his only family, and no matter how calculated he was in everything, he didn’t want his mother to suffer any harm. Moreover, today was his wedding day, and Mrs. Goreng was his mother; she couldn’t go through anything unfortunate.Mrs. Goreng’s gaze at Edward remained unchanged. It might be pity, remorse; she genuinely wanted an answer from her son. She wanted him to tell her that everything was fabricated, even though she knew deep down that it was a hundred percent true.“Mom, say something! Don’t
