Chapter 444

Nanjing’s weather was pleasant. The warm rays of the sun on a December day shined on the man sporting black cargo pants. He was still beautiful even after one month of not seeing him. Yes, beautiful. Jean-no, he went by Wallace. He had a face that would charm anyone. He approached us with his sunglasses on. The pair of boots he wore gleamed so brightly that he looked like an elf that fell into the mortal realm. The Marcus family’s relatives and guests were mostly commoners. They rarely saw such a pretty person, let alone dozens of high-end luxury cars parked together. Their gazes were filled with surprise and envy. The doctor frowned and asked, “Who are you?” Wallace still had his earphones on. They were no longer pink, but blue instead, but they were still encrusted with small diamonds. I was unsure why he always an earpiece in his ear. Wallace came up to us and laughed as he introduced himself, “I’m a friend of the bride. I originally planned to pick up the family, but I got delayed. It’s too bad that the dozens of luxury cars were not put to use. As an apology, consider all of them a gift to the bride. Raine, what do you think?” Wallace knew Loraine?! Judging her expression, it did not seem like she knew him. Could it be that he was there to provide support? Loraine played along and said, “It’s good enough that you’re here. What will I do with these cars? It’s not like I can’t afford them.” With such boisterous words from the bride, the crowd from the Marcus family had varying expressions. “Why is everyone stuck at the door?” Wallace smiled. Loraine said with a solemn tone, “They think that Sis Caroline is not suited to be my bridesmaid because she’s a divorcee, but I…” Hearing that, Wallace looked at me and asked, “What do you think?” My brows twitched. “Hm?” Wallace then looked at the crowd from the Marcus family, “What do you guys think?” The crowd was similarly stunned. “Hm?” With a flamboyant pose, Wallace faked a snide shot at me. “Just look at yourself, Miss Shaw. You’re the master of the Schick family with hundreds of billions in assets and standing at the top of the world in terms of power. Why are you getting bullied by these people here? It’s just a bridesmaid. So what if you can’t be one? We’ll just buy over all the hospitals in this region and play around with it tomorrow.” I was speechless. Wallace was definitely bluffing. The Marcus family crowd went silent after hearing him talk about the hundreds of billions in assets and buying over hospitals in the region. They quickly dispersed and went back to their seats. Loraine said gratefully, “Thank you.” She paused for a moment, then complained, “You’re too showy.” The wedding was actually made simpler in fear of the Marcus family members feeling overwhelmed. Lance had even made it a point not to use a luxury car for the pick-up session. However, it was still foiled by Wallace in the end. At the end of the day, they were still unable to keep a low profile. However, those from the Marcus family were truly materialistic. Wallace’s lips curled up, and he said, “You’re welcome.” The wedding continued. After I was done with my duties, I saw Wallace seated nearby, chatting away with the guests. I approached him and heard him bragging. “The bride’s family isn’t just rich. They’re filthy rich! So much so that they can’t spend enough! Did you notice how the bride didn’t even bat an eye at my luxury cars? Plus, those bridesmaids of hers are all exceptional women. Two of them have boyfriends that are even richer than the bride herself, and that little girl Yara is also very rich. She’s made donations amounting to ten billion bucks! “All in all, the bride has been rolling in cash her entire life. All she needs to do is just enjoy! Since she doesn’t lack money, there’s no need to toil her life away for money.” I sat next to him and muttered, “You sure have done your research! Why did you suddenly come over to Nanjing?!” Wallace smiled seductively. “Can’t you see that I miss you?” I was at a loss for words. I could not be bothered to entertain him. He continued to boast to those people while I got up to accompany the bride for a toast with the guests. When I returned to Wallace’s table, I could still hear him boasting. Only then did I realize that those seated there were the doctor’s colleagues. I patted his shoulder, signaling him to tone things down. After the wedding, I looked for Wallace. He was still mingling among the crowd. I dragged him by the arm to a secluded place and asked, annoyed, “Why are you telling them these things?” “What else should I do? Let them continue bullying the bride after this? I’ve done some digging, and some of those in the crowd have been bullying the bride. I said those things so that they can be clear of where they stand!” “Raine won’t be bullied by others for no reason.” Wallace put up his hands in defeat and said, “Fine. It’s not that bad to show-off a little. At least it’ll let them know what kind of people they shouldn’t push around!”
