The Billionaire Who Saved Me

Even Kurt, who was still enjoying the singer’s voice, suddenly turned around. His eyes widened in surprise.

“She said that to you?” Kurt asked.

Farrah turned to her husband. Without hesitation, she nodded. Only to grimace in frustration the next moment.

“Can you imagine, Pa? She belittled us. She belittled Ariel by saying that our son was no richer or better than her husband.”

Kurt took a deep breath. He seemed to sit back in his chair. His expression was conflicted.

“Actually, what she said is true.”

Farrah’s eyes widened. “Pa.”

“But we all know how her husband acquired that wealth,” Kurt continued quickly. Whether it was because he had intended to say that from the beginning or because he rushed to say it to avoid his wife’s wrath. “Because, if we want to be fair, your husband is incomparable to Ariel. Our son has wealth from his own hard work. Not just relying on inheritance.”

Farrah nodded. She clearly agreed with her husband’s words. Although, in reality, they also dreamed of inheriting wealth.

“So, you already know, right?”

This time Farrah turned back to Ariel. She woke her son, who had been silent as he listened to his mother’s story. She could not believe that Elice had said such a thing. But really, Ariel also saw how different Farrah’s face looked after she approached Elice.

“She is obviously not a woman worthy of your love, Ariel. She’s really cunning. Only after wealth and riches. A despicable woman.”

“But aren’t we the same?” Ariel replied suddenly. His words caught the attention of Farrah and Kurt. “We’re after wealth and riches too, aren’t we?”This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Farrah, who had been cursing Elice all along, looked surprised by Ariel’s words. Even Kurt was the same.

“Ariel, what-”

Ariel rose from her seat. “I’m tired. I want to rest for a while.”

With that, Ariel actually left. Leaving behind his parents, who looked stunned by their son’s behavior.

“Huh! How can Ariel equate us with that despicable woman? Ridiculous! We’re clearly different,” Farrah grumbled incessantly. She turned to her husband. “Right, Pa?”

Kurt just nodded.

“If that despicable woman wants to control this wealth and riches so badly, she’s clearly wrong. Unlike us. I have a share in every penny her husband has. Anyway, I’m still her family.”

For the moment, Kurt chose not to respond to his wife’s constant grumbling. He remained silent and enjoyed the entertainment.

Meanwhile, in one of the rooms set aside for guests who wished to rest, Ariel threw his jacket on the bed. Although he reminded himself to be patient and resilient, it was not easy. Even the drama he had been building up for the past few days felt futile when he saw how happy Elice was as Garrett held her hand.

Elice smiled. Elice laughed. And Elice looked at Garrett with eyes full of love.

Ariel would not be wrong to guess that the sparkle in Elice’s eyes was love. For he dared to swear. Once upon a time, he had seen a similar look from Elice. Back then… that’s how Elice had looked at him.

“Oh God,” Ariel growled and took a deep breath. His chest felt tight. The image of Garrett embracing Elice intimately ignited a fiery heat in him. “Elice. I love you.”

Ariel felt unimaginable regret. If he could go back in time, he would definitely change every decision he ever made. He would fight for Elice, regardless of his parents’ words.

But for all the things that were too late, Ariel knew he could not go back. With determination, he gritted his teeth as the beautiful face of Elice, laughing happily, crossed his mind.

“Forgive me, Elice. I may make you cry again. But I promise you. In the end, I will be the one to wipe away your tears. I will be the one who makes you happy again.”

It was a good scenario. Garrett would die and he would emerge as a hero. Embrace Elice. Comfort her. And then win her heart back.

The super luxurious wedding event on the cruise ship ended successfully. In the form of enthusiastic applause and constant admiration. Clearly, it would be one of the most luxurious weddings many would remember. Moreover, there were quite a few media crews covering it. Even though they were not celebrities, the groom was in the spotlight.

Of course, the event on the cruise ship was not the only celebration of Garrett and Elice’s wedding. A day later, a second party was held at the same hotel where the engagement party was held. This time it was an open event where many people were invited. Those who did not get to experience the luxury of the cruise ship could at least enjoy themselves at the reception.

Daphne’s meeting with the hostess a few days ago at The Arka was no ordinary dinner. On this occasion, Daphne had personally asked Emily to ensure that her grandson’s event would go off without a hitch. Luxury and class were paramount.

Just like the event on the cruise ship, the reception went off without a hitch. Every guest seemed happy and was complimented repeatedly. Not just for the banquet, of course. They also praised the harmony of the newlyweds.

It was a joyful wedding. But also exhausting. And the newlyweds got little rest.

The Arka, with its excellent service, ensured that Elice and Garrett’s room became the most therapeutic room they had ever designed. To create comfort and beauty that would make their tiredness disappear in an instant. After all, there was a private jet waiting for them the next day.

Certainly. A honeymoon awaited Elice and Garrett.
