The whole Aurous Hill was watching the extremely lavish wedding through the hazy frosted crystal glass.
While they were extremely envious of the couple and their setting, they couldn’t help but wonder who the couple who held their wedding in the Sky Garden was.
Moreover, they were so mysterious that there were only two of them at their wedding. Not a single relative nor friend was present, not even a witness!
On the crystal stage, Charlie took Claire’s hand and retrieved the jade necklace he had prepared for a long time.
“Claire, this is my wedding anniversary gift for you. I hope you like it!”
Claire stared at the crystal-clear jade necklace and exclaimed, “This…isn’t this the prized possession of Emerald Court? Charlie, how and where did you get this?”
Claire was astonished when she said it.
Was Charlie the mysterious billionaire in the video?
How else could he have had this jade necklace?
But…
But it didn’t make any sense!
She was very clear about Charlie, how could he be the mysterious man?
The word wealthy didn’t exist in him, period!
Charlie could see the surprise and bewilderment in Claire’s eyes. He had the sudden urge to reveal himself to her, to tell her who he really was. He wanted to tell her so badly that he was the descendant of the Wade family in Eastcliff, the heir of trillions in family fortune.
However, a horrid and serious thought struck his mind.
He had no clue about the Wade family’s current situation!
In his memory, he remembered meeting his uncles when he was young—that was to say that his father was not the only son of his grandfather.
If so, his uncles must have their offspring too. These people would inevitably regard him as a thorn in their fleshes in terms of succession of inheritance.
If he hastily disclosed his identity before he got hold of any information about his family and the ability to protect himself and Claire, it would put Claire’s life in danger!
Inheritance disputes and the ploys involved were very treacherous and cruel, and he didn’t want his beloved wife to face such risks because of him.
Hence, he quickly came up with a lie. “This necklace may look exactly like the prized treasure of Emerald Court, but it’s actually a counterfeit that I paid someone to make. It is made of good jade material, but it is different from the one at Emerald Court, this necklace only costs me tens of thousands of dollars in total.”
He looked at her anxiously and asked, “Claire, do you still like it now that you know it’s a fake?”
Claire heaved a heavy sigh of relief!
It made so much sense now!
She quickly smiled gleefully and said, “Dumdum, of course, I like it! You’ve done so much for me, I’m very touched!”
Charlie was relieved and hurriedly put the jade necklace on for Claire.
He looked at Claire earnestly and uttered, “Claire, we’ve been married for three years but I’ve given you nothing but trouble and humiliation, I’m sorry. But from now on, I can assure you that no one can bully you anymore!”
Claire nodded, feeling very glad and happy. At this moment, she realized that her husband was finally going to straighten his back and be a man!
***
After the wedding, Charlie and Claire left quietly from the exclusive elevator in the Sky Garden.
The onlookers were dumbfounded and bewildered.
Did they leave just like that?
After showing so much romantic affection to the world, they simply left?
