Alexander looked at Jared.
He spoke with a serious tone, “Mr. Blake, I’ll pretend you didn’t say anything about this.
Regarding the outline of our agreement earlier, I’ll get my assistant to talk to you if you don’t mind.
I still have something on, so I’ll leave first.” With that, Alexander stood up and left the private room.
He walked to the bar counter to pay the bill and left.
Even in his dreams, he wanted to be Parks Group’s successor.
He wanted to prove that he was better than Julian.
He wanted to crush Julian.
He wanted to point at his family’s belongings and tell Julian, “Everything that belongs to the Parks family is mine.” He could compete with Julian in terms of abilities and luck.
However, he would never pull such vicious tricks under the table.
Jared narrowed his eyes and looked at the door of the private room.
Alexander had already left.
He snorted coldly.
“Hmph.
What a weak fool.” Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind.
He should not have looked for Alexander.
Instead, he should have looked for someone else.
Thinking of this, he immediately called his assistant and instructed, “Help me arrange a meeting with Layla Ziegler.” Time flew by.
It was March 22nd.
It was Julian and Annalise’s wedding day.
The sky was especially beautiful.
The wind was gentle, and the sun shone brightly.
The azure sky was clear.
Looking up at the sky would have made one smile.
Countless luxury cars drove toward the dock.
Julian had spent the night on the cruise ship with Annalise.
He ordered his staff to re-examine the cruise ship’s safety facilities and security system.
He wanted to ensure that nothing would go wrong.
Trevor had also arranged for approximately 500 highly-skilled bodyguards to be responsible for the safety of everyone on the cruise ship.
Old Mr. Xander was even more enthusiastic than Sybil.
He had already dressed up early in the morning.
He was wearing a red, traditional suit.
He looked very festive.
Jolene, from the Xander family’s first branch, was also getting ready to take her daughter, Kristen.
The family headed for the ferry.
At the Blake Residence… Katherine had lived in the Blake Residence since last year.
Every day, she would accompany Madam Blake to stroll in the sun and chat.
Heather would also come to visit her often.
Today was Annalise’s wedding, so Katherine naturally had to go.
Although Heather and she were not related by blood, they had been together for more than ten years.
They were very close to each other.
At the ferry… The wedding organizers were the first to arrive.
They would never have another big client like Julian and Annalise in their lifetime.
Therefore, they could not afford to miss any detail.
If Julian had not asked them to come after six o’clock, they would have arrived the previous night.
In front of the cruise ship, Simon led the staff to check each of the guests’ invitations.
Since seven in the morning, people had been boarding the cruise ship with invitations.
The cruise ship gradually became lively.
Even the socialites, who often joined yacht parties, had never seen such a big and luxurious cruise ship.
After putting their luggage into the room, the socialites gathered to take some photos.
There were all kinds of accessories and booths on the cruise ship.
The largest activity hall on the first floor showcased a collection of classical paintings, painted fabrics, and sculptures… The socialites began to show off their knowledge.
“Oh, my.
That’s the famous painter’s work.
Noel Saddoll.” “Saddoll’s work is still not as good as Madeline Ezra’s.” “That’s why she’s called the famous painter.
Ezra is a famous master artist.” “I wonder if Ezra is still alive?” “Oh, my! That’s the work of Ezra.
Look, look over here.
The biggest defining trait of Ezra’s work is the single orchid.
Only one orchid would ever be in bloom.” “Is it her work? Many people are imitating her style now.” “It’s her.
You’ll know if you feel it with all your heart.
Ezra painted this.
That orchid looks.
especially dignified.
Yet it is quiet, independent, and lonely…” Annalise’s mentor, Madeline, was wearing a strapless dress.
She was holding a glass of red wine.
When she saw her work displayed at the cruise ship’s gallery, she looked at it seriously, too.
From her current perspective, it looked like the work was still a little flawed.
She had been in a hurry to play poker back then.
Clearly, that petal looked a little rushed.
However, when she heard these people praising her, she felt satisfied.
Indeed, everyone enjoyed flattery, She could not help but say to them, “You have good tastes.” “Of course.” Mia sized Madeline up.
Seeing Madeline wearing a bright red strapless dress adorned by jewels, she immediately praised, “You’re so beautiful.” “Thank you.
You’re beautiful, too.” Madeline smiled.
‘Do you admire Ezra’s paintings, too?” Mia could see that Madeline was someone extraordinary.
The pink pearl necklace she wore was already worth at least 200 thousand dollars.
Also, Madeline’s handbag was a limited edition of the world’s number-one brand, Kala.
It cost at least another 200 thousand dollars.
Most importantly, it could not be bought with money alone.
She took the initiative to get close to Madeline.
Madeline smiled.
“It’s alright.” “I like it too.
Why don’t we go to the spa later? Let’s go together.” Mia took the initiative to invite.
Madeline.
It was only past eight o’clock.
Julian’s wedding ceremony officially started at 11 p.m., at the nineteenth minute and ninth second.
He planned it down to the second.
What a control freak.
“You guys go ahead.
I’ll take a look around.” Madeline smiled.
“Okay.
By the way, can we add each other on Whatsapp?” Mia took out her phone.
Madeline smiled and said, “I left my phone in the room.
I’ll go get it later.” How would she add others’ Whatsapp so casually? “Alright.
I’ll go to the spa first.” Mia had a smile on her face, but she was cursing in her heart, thinking, “What the hell? I’m asking to add you on Whatsapp because I think highly of you.
Do you think you’re impressive just because you’re dressed like someone rich? I wonder if the pearl necklace and handbag are fake.” “Mia, let’s go. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Let’s go for a skincare session.
The wedding banquet is about to begin.” “Alright.
Who played this music? It’s so old-fashioned,” Mia complained about the music on the cruise ship.
Julian arranged for some soothing saxophone music to keep Annalise calm and relaxed.
When they heard Mia complain about the music, another socialite immediately chimed in, “Who else would have such bad taste? It must be that country bumpkin, picking such an old-fashioned song.” “Hush.
Don’t talk nonsense,” said another socialite.
The girl next to her scoffed.
“She’s right.
Besides, I didn’t say anyone’s name.” Madeline was a protective person.
When she heard them talking about a country bumpkin with bad taste, she knew they were talking about Annalise.
She chuckled to herself.
These girls must be quite something.
Not only did Annalise have her five illustrious mentors, but Annalise was also the Xander family’s daughter now.
Who were they to throw insults at Anna? Madeline walked over and bent her leg.
She pretended to stagger and fell onto Mia, spilling the red wine in her hand on Mia.
Madeline did not know who she was, but she was the one who started the topic in question.
“Ah…” Mia screamed.
She frowned and glared at Madeline.
“What’s wrong with you?” Mia had spent around 40 thousand dollars on her new dress.
The cruise wedding would be attended by noble guests.
Mia wanted to come and meet a young man from a wealthy family.
