Marrying

Chapter 692

With so many wealthy and celebrity guests in attendance, netizens erupted with excitement, captivated by their presence. It was a grand showcase of the rich and famous, with young actresses parading their gowns in a dazzling display of competition.

At this moment, Vivian arrived at the banque Dressed in a sapphire blue velvet gown with matching sapphire earrings and ge diamond ring, she was a vision of luxury. As she stepped out of the car, she was illuminated by the lights, making her glow and attracting the envious glances of other wealthy ladies present. “Isn’t that Mrs. Santos?” asked Mr. Smith, an old acquaintance, glancing her way. “Mrs. Santos, it’s been a while. You look impressive!”

“You look radiant. Those gemstones are stunning!” Mrs. Smith remarked, admiring her jewelry. “Mrs. Santos is no longer the same as before. With her daughter dating the acclaimed actor Dale Bacchus, the Santos family is flourishing!”

Vivian smiled at the praise, feeling pleased inside, but she replied modestly, “Oh, the young people have found each other and want to be together. As parents, all we can do is support them.”

“Why don’t I see Mr. Bacchus? My daughter is a fan. She wants me to get his autograph today!”

Vivian looked around. “They might have gone in already. I’ve already told Katherine. They have their own schedules.”

“Then please, Mrs. Santos, if you see Mr. Bacchus, could you get an autograph for me?” Mrs. Smith requested.

“Certainly, I’ll see what I can do. See you later!” With a smile on her face, Mrs. Santos took a deep breath, scanned the area, and saw reporters snapping her photos. She offered a bright smile before heading inside.

Valerie watched her smiling face on the screen with mixed feelings. Mrs. Santos had once inquired about Katherine’s relationship from her, she couldn’t reveal much at that time. Now seeing her again, Valerie shook her head, realizing that the world of fame and wealth was the same everywhere. Everyone sought a match that suited their social standing. It was only natural for Mrs. Santos to think of her daughter’s future.

Lamenting on the situation, she sighed and said, “It’s a pity Katherine is with Dale now. Trying to get out of this situation might be more difficult than expected. Valerie grew more anxious, wondering why Katherine, with her strong

Meanwhide. Viian entered the room but didn’t see Katherine or Dale, the thought furiously. What is that girl trying to pull today? Is the planning to cause trouble at such a critical moment? Vivian would definitely not allow it. She called Katherine, and after several rings, the call was finally picked up,

“Mom? Katherine’s voice came through on the other end.

Vivian erupted as soon as she heard her voice. “What the hell are you doing What time is it now? Why aren’t you here yet? This is a once–in–a–lifetime opportunity for the Santos family. If you don’t show up, just wait until I get home to see how I’ll deal with your

“What’s the hurry? The Santos family isn’t pro nt. Even if I go, it won’t make much of a difference, Pansy, could you get me a pass of orange juice? Stunned, Vivian spat, “What did you say? Pansy? Are you still not on your waft Katherine, are you out of your mind? Do you know that people arrive half an hour early to show respect? Can you even manage to be on time? What if you’re late? What will people think?

“You little brat! You’ve got some nerve, haven’t you? Just wait till I get my hands on your Vivian’s neck bulged with veins, and if not for the cameras, she would have shouted angrily.

On the other end, Katherine remained indifferent. “Fine, come and deal with me. I’m curious to see what you’ll do if I don’t show up tonight.”

Before Vivian could respond, Katherine hung up.

Vivian was infuriated. This brat must have someone behind her influencing her, or she wouldn’t dare to talk back to me!‘ she thought. ‘She had forgiven Dale, and they had reconciled. So why is everything suddenly falling apart? What on earth has happened?

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. ‘Since Katherine met Julian, the fruit vendor, she has become rebellious: Katherine had always been a well–behaved daughter, rarely causing trouble. Indeed, with his lack of proper background or upbringing, it’s no wonder Katherine was led astray.

Vivian blamed Julian entirely for the changes in her daughter. She regretted not introducing Katherine to high society earlier. If only she had met Dale earlier, Katherine wouldn’t have been smitten by that fruit vendor, she thought, seething inside.
