Destined Entwining: Capturing My Devoted Beau-Chapter 554 - 297: What’s the Real Motive? (Second Update)_2
Kenneth Osborne’s eyes flashed slightly as he quietly removed his own engagement ring.
Since Lawrence Winters didn’t wear his engagement ring, it was meaningless for him to wear it alone; it would be a hassle if people started asking about it.
...
The plane landed at Z City’s airport in the afternoon.
The Spencer Family sent two cars to pick them up.
One car took Kenneth Osborne directly to Brooke Osborne’s mansion, while the other took Nick Zeller and Lawrence Winters to the largest hotel in Z City.
Lawrence Winters looked around the suite, clicked his tongue twice, and said, "We’re only staying for one night, is it necessary to have such a large room? And two suites!"
Nick Zeller laughed and replied, "This is Spencer Family’s property, Mr. Spencer is paying, are you heartbroken?"
"Cut it out, I wouldn’t feel heartbroken. It’s not my money anyway." Lawrence Winters shrugged, "Alright, let’s get ready, grab something to eat, I need to find someone to do my hair, then change clothes and attend their wedding tonight."
Nick Zeller nodded, examining the invitation card carefully, and said, "The Spencer Family is hosting the wedding ceremony at Z City’s convention center this time, I wonder how many people they invited."
"Definitely a lot." Lawrence Winters eagerly scrolled through Weibo, saying, "The Spencer Family’s wedding is trending today, countless media outlets have come early to stake out the place. It’s said they’ve invited many big names from the entertainment world to sing and dance, they’re really giving a lot of face."
Nick Zeller leaned over to take a glance, just as he was about to comment, his phone rang.
Nick Zeller looked down and saw it was a call from Cameron Spencer.
He thought for a moment, went back to his own suite to answer the call.
"Mr. Spencer, what’s up? I’m already here."
"I know." Cameron Spencer laughed heartily, "I hope you’re comfortable with your stay, do you want to stay a few more days?"
"No need, there’s stuff to do in the Capital City, I only planned for a day." Nick Zeller said casually, showing no awe typical for elders to Cameron Spencer.
Cameron Spencer didn’t mind, he promptly sent an email to Nick Zeller, and said, "Tonight is the official ceremony time, everyone will enter according to order. I’ve sent you the time and passage for your entrance. Just arrive on time, I’ll have someone meet you."
Nick Zeller frowned, "Mr. Spencer, your daughter is just marrying a son-in-law, do you need to make such a grand spectacle?"
Cameron Spencer didn’t explain, saying, "You’ll understand by then. Today you’re attending my daughter’s wedding as Master Zhang, not as my son."
"Hmm, I wasn’t planning to acknowledge any paternity today." Nick Zeller retorted sarcastically.
Cameron Spencer didn’t say much more, reminded him to arrive on time, and then hung up the call.
...
Hazel Winchester and Ruby Rayner returned from the home temple, brought back specifically by Cameron Spencer to attend Summer Spencer’s wedding.
The two of them stayed in Hazel Winchester’s house, which was now the marital home for Blake Leaf and Summer Spencer, a European-style villa back against the mountain and overlooking the water.
Summer Spencer, in her wedding dress, stood on a low stool, her long veil trailing behind her, resembling the famous wedding dress of a well-known foreign princess, with several seamstresses busy making final adjustments for her.
Blake Leaf dressed in a tailcoat walked over, continuously praising Summer Spencer’s beauty while looking up.
Summer Spencer glanced left and right into a human-height mirror, feeling elated beyond measure.
Hazel Winchester watched the scene and couldn’t help but wipe away tears, saying, "I never thought Mr. Spencer would treat Summer so well. When Justus got married back then, there wasn’t such a grand setup."
Justus Spencer, Ruby Rayner’s biological son, had recently passed away due to an unexpected accident.
Ruby Rayner initially smiled as she watched Summer Spencer try on the wedding dress; upon hearing Hazel Winchester’s words, tears also welled in her eyes.
Summer Spencer jumped off the low stool with her wedding dress, walked over to Hazel Winchester, and delightedly said, "Mom, did you know? Today’s convention center would accommodate five hundred tables, ten seats per table, a total of five thousand attendees for my wedding!"
"Besides top stars of the entertainment circle, almost every household on the national list of tycoons has sent someone to attend my wedding."
Her face flushed bright red with excitement, glowing without the need for blush, "Mom, I never knew that I held such an important place in Dad’s heart!"
Hazel Winchester caressed her face and nodded, saying, "That’s why I’ve taught you from childhood, don’t underestimate yourself. You’ll never know who the real winner is until the end. Some may have a head start, but it doesn’t mean they can win to the end."
Ruby Rayner’s smile twitched at her words, she glanced quickly at Blake Leaf, who also looked self-satisfied and dignified. Secretly cursing, she thought, he’s a fool too.
Indeed, fools ought to be paired with fools, right?
However, she thought again of herself, without even a "fool" like this now, what did she really have to boast about?
Ruby Rayner stroked the Buddha beads on her wrist and still spoke, "Mr. Spencer has always thought three steps ahead in everything he does. If he gives such a grand wedding to Summer today, it undoubtedly is well thought out, so you can just relax and enjoy it."
The hidden meaning was not to overthink, who knows what Cameron Spencer’s motives really are?
In Ruby Rayner’s eyes, Cameron Spencer is definitely not the type to hold such a grand wedding just for a son-in-law joining the family.
On the contrary, Cameron Spencer is a very traditional person.
In his eyes, a son-in-law joining the family is utterly beneath consideration, he doesn’t even care.
So, there must be another reason for this wedding, right?
Of course, Ruby Rayner wasn’t about to say it out loud.
She remained in her meditative state of observing with clarity, acting as if she had no interest in the surrounding hustle and bustle.
Summer Spencer, Blake Leaf, and Hazel Winchester were all in ecstasy, and no one noticed Ruby Rayner’s indifference.
...
Spring Spencer was also with her mother, Ava Harlow, at this moment.
Both mother and daughter found Cameron Spencer’s grand preparations for Summer Spencer’s wedding intriguingly odd, yet couldn’t pinpoint the reason.
Ava Harlow frowned, smoothing a tiny crease on her cheongsam, and whispered, "Anyway, with no one from the Sheldon Family attending today, even if they boast, there’s nothing to boast about."
Spring Spencer, however, didn’t care about this. She raised an eyebrow slightly and softly said, "I know Mr. Sheldon is in Z City, not sure what business he’s discussing."
Ava Harlow was stunned, "Aiden Sheldon? He’s here? In this city?"
