Supreme Mars
Chapter 19 The Wedding
In the past three days, several well-to-do families in Emerdale received anonymous wedding invitations.
Surprisingly, the Fords were also invited.
When they received theirs, everyone was shocked.
"Whose wedding is this? Why doesn't it have a name?" Jonathan flipped the invitation over and again.
Rebecca stared at the invitation card with sparkling eyes and said, "I don't know whose wedding this is, but it's going to be held in Oceania, the most luxurious cruise restaurant in Emerdale. A table there costs around 15,000 dollars. That couple must be some low-key billionaires if they're holding their wedding in that venue!"
William snorted and said, "Humph. You're still as short-sighted as ever. It may be true that this pair of newlyweds are no ordinary people, but why did they specifically invite us? Our family has been on the downturn until just recently."
What William said burst some bubbles. They started wondering as well, "You're right. The upper-class families in Emerdale would naturally be invited, but why did we receive one as well?"
An idea suddenly popped into Caroline's head. She took out the newspaper from three days ago and asked, "Have you heard that a person spent 100 million on a ring called the 'Tears of Venus' three days ago?"
Everyone nodded, "Of course. News of him squandering 100 million on that fancy bauble made the rounds all over the city."
Caroline made a guess. "I think that the man who's getting married is the same one who bought that ring. As for the reason why he invited us, could it be that there is some connection between him and our family?"
The other members paused for a while, digesting that piece of information. Anticipation started to ferment.
Samuel exclaimed excitedly, "If that's the case, then there is still hope for us to rise again! If we get familiar with these people, then along with our Atlas deal, we'll be able to really turn things around."
William also nodded and said, "If what Caroline said turns out to be the case."
"If so, are we going to the wedding?" one asked.
William said with firm eyes, "Of course! Not only that, we have to foster a good relationship with this new couple! Get ready. Let's head to Oceania straight away."
Everyone departed one after another. Caroline and Rebecca also turned to get ready upstairs for the festivities.
William suddenly called out to them. "You two, wait a moment. Have you apologized to Leo yet?"
"..."
The smiles on their faces froze instantly.
"We wanted to apologize but he didn't answer any of our calls..." Caroline said reluctantly.
William's face also darkened. "It seems that he really is upset with us. Make sure you to apologize to him the next time you see him."
"Okay..."
The Fords had received three invitation cards, so Rebecca and Caroline would be going with him.
