Chapter 44
When everyone heard this, they all felt a bit scared. After all, the dead one was Master White. When he was alive, his temper was the fiercest. Who dared to make him wait?
The atmosphere outside was filled with joy. It felt like the White family had invited a band, and it didn’t sound like they were having an underworld wedding at all.
The guests sat on both sides and watched the bride being led down the aisle by a maid. Crystal could only look at her feet while walking. There was deafening music in her ears, but no one here dared to make a fuss. Probably, they didn’t dare to do so.
When she crossed a threshold, someone stuffed a photo frame into her hand. It was a portrait of Harold, not some rooster.
Crystal heaved a sigh of relief. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
“Let the wedding begins!” Madam White sat in the main seat, announcing.
One of the maids had told her the procedure. The MC would tell her what to do, and she only needed to follow the instructions.
Everything went on in an orderly manner. Suddenly, there was a burst of noise in the crowd as an uninvited guest came.
“Wow, the wedding is still bustling!” A handsome man walked out of the crowd.
Madam White stood up with a sullen face. “Mr. Joyce! I remember clearly that we didn’t invite you!” The White family and the Joyce family were enemies. It was absolutely impossible for them to send an invitation to their enemy. Everyone in City W knew that the two families had been enemies for
generations and no one could mediate this grudge. In the past, the two families had had a tie in power, but since Harold was in charge, the situation had changed. The White family had become stronger.
However, among the nobles and rich people in City W, the Joyce family was still a terrible existence, especially Corey Joyce, who was in charge of the family affairs at such a young age. His deeds were also ruthless and decisive. He had defeated a lot of enemies.
This man was as bold as Harold White, and he was even crazier in his business. Only Harold could be compared with him. Showing up at Harold’s wedding, it was obvious that he was making trouble. “Don’t be angry, Madam White,” Corey didn’t sound polite. “I’m just here to join in the fun and see the new bride. I’m not here to steal her. Besides, it’s so immoral to steal the bride from a dead person!” Crystal took two steps back, which boosted Corey’s interest. “Don’t be afraid, ma’am. I’m not a bad guy.”
Madam White stomped her cane on the ground. Just as she was about to lose her temper, Freda stopped her. “Mother… Harold is dead. Our family is at a disadvantage. Please bear with it for now.” Bonnie White was well aware of the current situation, so she had no choice but to bear with it.
“Mr. Joyce, don’t go too far! This is the White family’s territory. If you behave yourself, I’ll treat you as a guest. We’ll stay out of each other’s business.”
Freda did not dare to offend the Joyce family and quickly tried to smooth things over. “You, hurry up and take Mr. Joyce a good seat.”
“There’s no need.” Corey chuckled and took two steps forward. “Am I that scary?”
Crystal still stepped back. In the next second, Corey lifted her veil. A stunning face appeared in front of him. He was astonished, though. “Tut-tut, such a young and pretty girl. It’s a pity to marry a dead man.”
Crystal hated the man, didn’t want to get close to him. She held Harold’s portrait tightly, fuming, “I feel good.”
Corey felt that her reaction was quite silly. He suddenly laughed loudly and then picked her up. The guests couldn’t help but gasp. He took the bride of the dead! This man was really crazy!
As he walked, he spoke in a carefree manner. “Madam White, Harold is dead. Don’t waste the girl’s time. I’ve already taken a fancy to this little wife, so I’ll take her with me first.”
