A Billionaire In Disguise

Chapter 70

Time moved at a natural pace, and it was finally the day of Chloe's wedding.

That morning, a loud banged on the door caused Catherine to jump out of her sleep.

Then she looked at Rome, and at that moment his eyelids rose and their eyes locked.

“Catherine!” Edward's voice echoed from outside the room.

Knowing that it was her father at the door, Catherine was about to rush out of the bed when Rome

grabbed her wrist, causing her to stop and look at him.

“Do you still feel the same way that you felt at the party?” Rome asked with his eyes fixed on hers.

Although she was confused for a moment, Catherine finally understood the question, and she

answered, “Yes, I don't want to go to the wedding.”

“Good. Then let me answer the door.” Rome calmly said.

Nodding slightly, Catherine smiled and mumbled, “Okay,”

Afterward, Rome left the bed and walked to the door. Then he opened it and gazed at Edward.

“Good morning, father-in-law?” Rome casually said while staring into his angry eyes.

“Where is my daughter?” Edward roughly intoned, ignoring his greeting.

“She's asleep. Is there a problem?”

“Yes, there is! Today is her cousin's wedding. She is supposed to be with her family and not in bed,

especially not with you!”

With a carefree expression, Rome sighed and said, “My wife doesn't want to go to the wedding and as

her husband, I support her decision. So yeah, she's staying home with me.”

“You rascal! Catherine was humble before she met you, and now she has become a totally different

person!” Edward lashed out.

“Nah, she's the same Catherine, but she is finally being true to her emotions and not keeping it all

inside.”

“I don't care what you say, but you are wrong for Catherine!”

“No one is more right for your daughter than me. You should keep that in mind.”

Frowning at Rome, Edward tried looking over his shoulder as he screamed, “Catherine! Get dressed

and let's go!”

“I apologize for this father-in-law, but I have to close the door,” Rome mumbled.

After his remark, he slightly bowed before slowly closing the door in Edward’s face.

Then he turned around, gazed at Catherine, and asked, “Are you okay?”

“I couldn't be anymore better,” Catherine said with a faint smile.

A few minutes later, everyone left the mansion, and Rome and Catherine were the only ones in the

family who were still at home.

“Do you want to get out of here and get something to eat?” Rome asked as he wore his sweatshirt.

“Yes,” Catherine said in excitement.

Right at that instant, Rome’s phone buzzed, so he forgot about wearing his sock, walked over to the

bed, and picked it up.

The moment he answered the call, he heard Brook say, “Boss, we have eyes and ears in the wedding

venue.”

“Good. Keep me updated.” Rome said, and then he ended the call.

When he dropped the phone back on the bed, he noticed Catherine staring at him, and he smiled at

her before focusing on wearing his sock.

The ten limousines arrived at the wedding venue and they came to a stop. Then the doors opened and

the Barlow family got out and headed into the hotel.

The ballroom of the hotel was being used for the ceremony, but the family members headed to their

various rooms to get prepared for the wedding, which was scheduled to start in a few hours.

A while later, Catherine and Rome arrived at a nice cafe and headed inside the building.

Once they took their seat, a waiter approached them to take their orders.

When Catherine had given her order, Rome’s phone buzzed, and he picked it up.

After opening his inbox, Rome silently read, “Boss, guests have started arriving. Should we act now?”

“Not until Dash and Chloe are a legally wedded couple.” Rome texted back before laying his phone

back on the table.

Then he looked at the waiter and said, “I will have a plain black coffee.”

Finally, after getting dressed, Madam Rosey and her husband left their hotel room and came

downstairs, heading in the direction of the ballroom.

When they arrived, Edward and Dana slightly bowed and said in unison, “Welcome, mother and father.”

Staring away from her husband, Madam Rosey gazed at her son and asked, “Has any influential guest

arrived?”

“Not many people have shown up yet. But I'm certain they will come.” Edward said, feeling doubtful

about his every word since there were only a few minutes left for the ceremony to start.

“If they don't show up, it's all your daughter's fault. Most of those guests seemed welcoming to

Catherine, and Chloe had to misbehave on her.” Mr. Barlow said in annoyance.

“Honey,” Madam Rosey mumbled.

“What? Are we supposed to pretend like we are blind and we didn't see half of the guests leave after

she and Rome walked out!”

“I know, but they could have left because of the barbaric act Rome displayed.”

Without talking, Mr. Barlow cleared his throat and walked into the hall and then Madam Rosey followed

him.

After a few more minutes had gone by, it was time for the wedding ceremony to begin, and Mr. Barlow

looked around the hall and saw a half of the seats empty, and those chairs were reserved for the Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

dignitaries and business tycoons.

“I can't believe none of them show up,” Madam Rosey mumbled with a frown.

“A lavish wedding with such small attendees. What a waste of money.” Mr. Barlow said, feeling enraged

in his spirit.

“Now, I regret inviting the press. This is so humiliating.”

“It can't get worse than this, and we have to make sure that it doesn't.”

The half-fill mug sat before Rome, but he had not taken a sip of his coffee for a while since he was

more focused on Catherine.

His index finger slowly rubbed against his bottom lip as he kept his eyes on her, watching her bite into

her donut.

Suddenly, the buzz from his phone drew his attention off her, and he focused on its screen.

“The bride and the groom have entered the hall.” Scar’s message said.

Looking away from his phone, Rome fixed his eyes back on Catherine, and when she looked at him, he

smiled.

‘I‘m glad you are not there to get mixed up with the mess that is about to happen.’ Rome thought as he

leaned towards Catherine and slowly wiped the donut powder off her lips.

A few minutes into the wedding ceremony, the pastor finally asked, “Chloe Barlow, do you take Dash

Johnson as your lawful wedded husband?”

Although Chloe wasn't excited about the turnout of people at her wedding, she still faked a smile and

said, “I do.”

After the pastor had posed the question to Dash and he said, “I Do,” they were both pronounced

husband and wife.

Once Scar saw Dash kissing Chloe, he looked down at his phone screen and texted, “They are now a

married couple.”

When Rome received the text, he didn't hesitate to message back, “Release the information.”

It took a matter of minutes after Scar received the order from Rome for every reporters’ phone in the

hall to start buzzing.

“It has begun.” Rome read in silence as he stared at his message box.
