Felicity looked in the direction that Vermont's finger was pointing at.

Erick and Olivia were sitting together. Next to Erick, there was a middle-aged man. And, on the right

side of that man, there was a middle-aged woman that was dressed in a similar fashion as Olivia.

The woman had an average physique and an ordinary appearance, but she exuded an excellent

temperament. She looked exactly like someone with a high social status.

Meanwhile, the man had a resemblance to the groom, but he looked very serious. His looks were akin

to the corporate leaders and government officials in the photos displayed at Florence's home. He

exuded an air of elegance and authority.

When Erick talked to that man, he would unknowingly hunch his back as though he was a slave.

Felicity was confused. "What's wrong with that table?"

Vermont pinched her cheeks and softly said, "Babe, you're too innocent. Would you look at the way

Ricky's father is looking at the bride?"

Felicity was stunned, and she looked over again.

She finally saw it this time. The middle-aged man's gaze toward the bride was not how a father would

look at his

daughter-in-law. Instead, it was akin to scrutinizing a piece of merchandise. His eyes were blatantly

assessing every inch of the bride from head to toe.

Suddenly, she thought of the farmers back in her hometown who were inspecting pregnant pigs in the

shed with a similar expression. They were evaluating whether the pigs looked good, ate well, and

whether the piglets they gave birth to would be healthy...

Felicity suddenly felt uncomfortable, and she furrowed her brows.

"What's wrong?" Vermont asked.

Felicity replied in a low voice, "The way he's looking at the bride makes me uncomfortable."

Vermont said flatly, "That's right. For someone who's going to have a child with him, he has to see if

she's good enough."

Felicity immediately widened her eyes. "Are you saying that- It

However, Vermont quickly covered her mouth. "Babe, keep your voice down. Are you trying to get

kicked out?"

Felicity stayed still and tried her best to process the information. Then, she whispered, "So, this

ceremony is not about his son's marriage but getting a second wife for himself, huh?"

"Not exactly a second wife. Strictly speaking, she's just a baby machine."

Vermont spoke indifferently. He was not surprised by these wealthy families' secrets.

Now that Ricky was ruined, the power and status accumulated by the Adam family for decades might

be disrupted in this generation. So, Ricky's father had yearned to have another child.

The marriage between Ricky's parents was a strategic alliance as both families worked for the

government, and Ricky was their only child. Now that Mrs. Adam was incapable of conceiving

anymore, Ricky's father had to do it with another woman. However, with many people keeping a

watchful eye on them and considering his significant influence in society, numerous individuals might

attempt to exploit this situation to undermine him.

And, since Ricky was unable to have children, they came up with this nasty idea. They would let Ricky

get married and bring a woman back to bear the offspring of his father.

It was so degrading that no one could accept it. Only Erick, who was eager to climb up the social

ladder, took the initiative and offered his daughter.

By using his daughter-in-law as a cover, he could raise his child as his grandchild without raising

suspicion.

"No wonder Mrs. Chapman looks so indifferent at the wedding. Does this mean she already knew

about this?"

Vermont played with her hand and said, "The Adam family is very powerful. If it weren't for Ricky being

so useless, Mrs. Chapman's daughter would never have the opportunity to be with him. Mrs. Chapman

knows a lot of people in the social circle, so it's impossible for her not to know about the current

situation of the Adam family. However, being just a woman herself, there's probably nothing she could

do to stop it."

"That's not true. Don't underestimate the power of a mother. " Felicity snorted and said, "If someone

was plotting against my precious daughter like this, I'll do everything in my power to stop this marriage."

Vermont paused for a moment before he let out a laugh." You're right. After all, not every parent is as

sickening as Erick. I just can't imagine someone giving away their child like this."
