Instead of putting on his coat, he grabbed it in his hand. His black shirt made him look mysterious and charming. “Welcome, Mr. Quarles.” Several people came over and greeted him.
Ethan nodded and took a look at his wristwatch. Fortunately, I arrived just in time. He then got into a car and headed straight to the wedding.
Not long after he entered the villa, Jared came looking for him in a beach buggy.
Since they were best friends, they greeted each other as usual, which involved fistbumping and teasing one another. “You look so different in a wedding suit. Been very happy, eh?”
“If you’re envious, get yourself a girlfriend.” As Jared looked at the man’s bulging muscles under his shirt, he couldn’t help but thump his chest. “We haven’t met for half a year, and you’ve become more muscular!”
Ethan struck the other party’s chest as well. “I thought you’d slack off since you mostly stay in an office. You’re just as fit as ever!”
“Haha!”
After the greetings, they smiled at each other. Although they were not related by blood, they were just as close as brothers. “Where’s your wife? You haven’t introduced her to me yet.” Ethan poured two cups of water and passed one to his friend. “You’ll see her during dinner. She can’t move around since there are too many people.”
“Why?” “I’m a dad now.” Ethan looked enviously at him. ‘That’s quite some progress, huh?” A happy smile formed on Jared’s face. He felt nothing but content at that moment.
Certainly, Ethan was pleased that his best friend had found the right woman. He was envious of the man for his bravery to get married, for he didn’t have the confidence to do the same. “Have all the guests arrived?”
“Most of them have arrived, but some of them. are on their way,” Jared replied.
Meanwhile, after a cruise ship stopped at the dock, the guests started leaving the vessel. A wealthy- looking woman took her daughter’s hand and came out of the ship.
Just then, a pair of excited mother and daughter crashed into the wealthy lady, causing her to bump into the railing. She turned around and snapped, “Hey! What’s wrong with you? Watch where you’re going!”
“Do you think it’s your home or something? Why can’t we cross over?” Olivia whirled around and retorted. Although she had indeed bumped into the woman, she didn’t think she had done anything wrong.
“You’re unreasonable!” The wealthy lady glared at her. Seeing that her mother was incensed, Josephine quickly appeased her. “Forget it, Mom.”
“Why should I forget it? I can’t believe there is such a mannerless person in the world. Not only does she refuse to apologize, but she’s also unreasonable.”
Olivia had always been hot-tempered, so she instantly blew her top upon hearing that.
After all, she had lived a luxurious life for a long time. She snorted. “So what if I refuse to apologize?”
An infuriated Heidi said to her daughter, “I thought only well-mannered and important. people were allowed to attend the wedding. Surprisingly, there’s a guest like her!”
Josephine could only placate her mother by saying, ‘Let’s go, Mom!” “I’m sorry! My wife was in a hurry.” Connor appeared just then and apologized to them. Selena took her mother’s hand and glared at Josephine and Heidi. “Let’s go, Mom!”
The two of them then crossed the bridge that connected the dock and the cruise ship. Behind them, Connor was astonished, not expecting Ellen’s wedding to be on such a big island. “Look over there, Lena! The row of cruise ships is impressive!” Olivia said to her daughter and took photos with her phone.
“It seems that we’re in the right place, Mom.” Selena was excited. She wasn’t interested in Ellen’s wedding; she was there to look for a decent man to marry.
All the male guests in attendance were wealthy. If she could marry one of them, that would be a life- changing event for her, and she was there to change her fate.
After crossing the bridge, they were greeted by cars that were meant to pick up the guests.. Olivia was amazed by the row of cars. “These are all Rolls-Royces! Never in my life have I dreamed about getting into one of these cars!”
The three of them then entered the vehicle. The view along the road was magnificent. Although Selena appeared calm, she was more excited than her parents. She wasn’t there for the view but for the men.
Upon arriving at a villa, the driver helped them get their luggage into the house.
“Your suitcases are all inside the house. Have a great day, Mr. Aguirre.”
“Thanks,” Connor said. After the driver left and closed the gates, Olivia immediately entered the villa. “Oh, my gosh! All the villas face the sea! It’s wonderful!” Meanwhile, Selena ran to the balcony on the third floor and looked at the beach where the guests were taking a stroll or swimming in the sea. She was eager to mingle with them.
She quickly opened her suitcase and fished out her best-looking swimwear.
After changing into it, she also put on a gauze jacket. Then, she told her parents, ‘I’m going to the beach now.”
Connor reminded her by saying, “Be careful!” “Got it,” Selena replied and left the house. On the other hand, Olivia sat down and looked at the interior of the villa. She also ordered food delivery and waited for her meal to arrive.
In the meantime, Josephine and her mother entered the villa beside Connor’s.
Since Mills was swamped with work, only the two of them. were there to attend the wedding this time.
Josephine’s grandfather used to be an influential figure in the political scene.
Although. he no longer held any important position, he was still powerful in Averna. Although Josephine was born into such a family, the Jacobsons were less mighty than they used to be.
“Get some rest, Mom. I’ll take a walk,” Josephine said to her mother, feeling vexed. While the others happily attended the wedding, she was there for work. She picked up her camera and was ready to gather some information. Her team leader called her just then. After the call connected, she said, “Hello, Mr. Fox.”
“Hey, Joey! Would you mind taking some photos of the wedding venue so that we will have some news to report?” “No one is allowed to take photos here.”
Josephine turned him down.
“Just one photo will do, alright? The director has been mounting pressure on us,” said Mr. Fox in a threatening tone. Josephine let out a breath. “I don’t want to tarnish my family’s reputation. Otherwise, my grandpa will kill me. I’m sorry, but I can’t do that.”
“Why are you so obstinate? Just take some photos and send them to us. No one will find out you took the photos,” Mr. Fox said.
“No.” “I don’t care. Once the wedding is over, I want to see the photos within six hours. Mr. Fox hung up the call upon finishing his words. A speechless Josephine walked forward in a particular direction.
All of a sudden, she had a feeling that the team leader had lied about the infamous robber. She had been conned into coming to the wedding to take some photos.
How dare he lie to me?! I already know that the security at the wedding is topnotch. Even if a robber is indeed going to sneak into the venue, he won’t have the guts to steal anything. The elites of different fields have gathered in this place, so they can easily capture the robber.
At that moment, Josephine was no longer in the mood to work. All the same, she just couldn’t stay put and do nothing. Since the beach was so crowded, she decided not to go there. She wanted to go somewhere quiet and take some photos. After all, she was also an amateur photographer in her spare time.
She hopped onto a sightseeing car and said to the driver, “Please take me to somewhere quiet and beautiful. I’d like to take some photos.”
“I know a place that few people are aware of. I can take you there.”
“Yeah, sure. Thanks.” They moved along the beach, taking about 20 minutes to arrive at their destination. Finally, the driver pointed at the railings and said,
“Just go over there. Rarely anyone will come to this area, and the view is terrific. There’s also a smaller island beside the main island.”
“Thank you so much for taking me here!” “When you want to go back, just dial this number. Someone will come over and pick you up.”
Josephine quickly took a photo of the contact number and bid the driver farewell. As she took a stroll around the area, she couldn’t help but be amazed by the view. It was indeed a naturally aesthetic sight.
