“That’s great!” Zoey exclaimed, nodding profusely. “I think that I’ll decide to stay out of this. The Fletchers aren’t particularly fond of me.”
“Haha!” Levi laughed. “She’s like a sister to me. She’s not someone whom I’ll marry.”
Zoey grinned. “Oh, darling, you’re so ignorant! She doesn’t see you as a big brother! Why don’t you make it up to her with a gift? Here, take this!”
She handed him a credit card, earning her a few affectionate head rubs from Levi.
Only Zoey could be this kind…
Any other woman would have barred me from attending any wedding, let alone the wedding of someone whom my parents had set me up with, all those years ago!
I won’t even receive an allowance to buy gifts with!
Levi smiled. “Why didn’t I think of that? Thanks for the money! I’ll make sure to buy the best gift that I can find.”
Afterward, he told Azure Dragon to prepare a gift for Lauren at the wedding.
Meanwhile, Triple Group began to infiltrate every sector of the North Hampton economy, prior to the wedding so as to wriggle their way back into the market.
The wedding was nothing more than a tool to establish their footing in North Hampton.
Everything that they had been doing was nothing more than the prelude to absolute control!
On the other hand, Levi told his forces to hold still and leave them alone.
Four days passed in a blink, and it was soon the day before Lauren and Lee Jung-jin’s wedding.
The Fletcher family was ready for the wedding, and Bayfront Manor was transformed into a wedding venue.
“I bet that no one would want to miss out on my daughter’s wedding!” Isaac joked, with a proud laugh. “Take a seat, everyone!”
“You’ll officially belong to the Lee family tomorrow, Lauren,” Jenson congratulated her happily. “You’re making us proud!”
The Fletchers beamed at one another.
Meanwhile, Lauren stood before the mirror, trying out gown after gown as she tried to pick one that would bring out her beauty the most.
I’ll be the star of the show tomorrow!
I’ll show them how irreplaceable I truly am!
I’ll make them regret every insult that they’ve uttered!
“Who would you like to see the most tomorrow, Lauren?” Sam asked.
“Levi Garrison!” Lauren answered, a cold glint flashing across her eyes.
The Fletchers knew how hurt Lauren had been when Levi had chosen Zoey over her, hence, her love for him had turned into hatred, as time went by.
She despised him.
She told herself that she would work hard to outshine everyone, in order to prove herself worthy.
She had been waiting for the day where she would rise above Zoey and Levi and be able to look down upon them.
I’ll make him regret everything!
I’ll walk down the aisle with a man a hundred times better than you right before your eyes!
You don’t deserve to be my husband!
Just you wait!
Lauren wished that time could pass faster.
She longed to see the looks of remorse on Levi’s and his family members’ faces.
The Fletchers continued their lighthearted banter as Jenson turned on the TV.
“According to an overseas sources, a necklace named the ‘Love of the World’ was sold at an auction for eight hundred million. The buyer was rumored to be an Erudian, as the necklace is currently being shipped towards Erudia.”
“I heard that the necklace is used as a wedding gift! It’s represented pure and innocent love for centuries. I wonder which lucky Erudian bride it’s going to?”
The news piqued the interest of the Fletchers, particularly Lauren.
Lee Jung-jin had prepared a limited edition necklace, as a token of love, which had cost him millions.
All her friends had been awestruck by its beauty.
