Destined Entwining: Capturing My Devoted Beau-Chapter 558 - 299: Women Are So Fickle
The gaze was filled with endless affection, and the onlookers expressed they were drunk with emotion.
Indeed, it’s a wedding ceremony, with love being spread everywhere.
Ryan Sheldon walked down the red carpet with the Three Billion Lady, step by step.
Blake Leaf, standing on the ceremonial stage, heard it was the second son of the Sheldon Family and immediately felt extremely envious.
The Spencer Family was already the best opportunity he could catch, but the Sheldon Family, at the top of the food chain, was a class he never even dreamed of reaching.
The second son of the Sheldon Family was truly born lucky, standing at the summit many can only dream of reaching right from birth.
He was filled with envy and jealousy, his hands tightly clenched into fists.
Next to him, Summer Spencer also widened her eyes, unable to believe that the second son of the Sheldon Family, who was always abroad and never returning to the country, who was shrouded in mystery, was actually so handsome!
Moreover, how did he manage to have such a female companion?
If a woman like that can be his companion, she herself was a thousand times better, so why couldn’t she be his female companion?
Summer Spencer scanned the woman’s face, then suddenly felt a pang in her heart and looked again.
This woman, why does she look so familiar?
Blake Leaf followed her gaze and instantly felt his breath catch, his vision filled with dazzling lights.
He didn’t see it wrong, did he?
That woman... that beautiful, captivating woman standing next to the second son of the Sheldon Family, wasn’t she... wasn’t she... the Three Billion Lady?!
Impossible!
But the Three Billion Lady happened to have the surname Xi...
Blake Leaf and Summer Spencer’s gaze both fell on the Three Billion Lady simultaneously.
As Ryan Sheldon and the Three Billion Lady approached, Blake Leaf confirmed it was indeed her.
He never imagined that after leaving him, the Three Billion Lady could still find a gem of a man like the second son of the Sheldon Family!
Women are so fickle...
Blake Leaf thought bitterly, he hadn’t been in touch with her for that long, yet she eagerly sought a new flame.
At this moment, Blake Leaf didn’t even consider that he was already married and should not be having designs on other women.
However, Blake Leaf was once sure that the Three Billion Lady had deep feelings for him.
Previously, due to his inferiority complex, he didn’t dare pursue her.
Now with the Spencer Family supporting him, once he regains his wealth, he could take the Three Billion Lady to a hidden place.
Just like Cameron Spencer’s two concubines, he, Blake Leaf, could have the Three Billion Lady as his only mistress.
How could she be so impatient?
Why are women so fickle?
Were the feelings she had for him over the years all just an act?
The Three Billion Lady and the second son of the Sheldon Family sat at the foremost table on the right side.
Blake Leaf looked at the Three Billion Lady hurtfully, as if he could see a green hat upon his head.
Summer Spencer stared at the Three Billion Lady for a long while before slightly confusedly asking Blake Leaf, "Blake Leaf, is the female companion of the second son of the Sheldon Family that woman who seems very familiar to me? Isn’t she your... hometown acquaintance?"
Before marrying Blake Leaf, Summer Spencer had someone thoroughly investigate him.
The Three Billion Lady, who had been relatively close to Blake Leaf in the past, naturally fell within the scope of her investigation.
Blake Leaf snorted and casually said, "A fickle woman, I don’t really know her."
Summer Spencer curled her lips, thinking to herself that if Blake didn’t know her, how could he call her "fickle"? It proves men’s words are not to be trusted.
Both she and Blake Leaf were keeping a keen eye on the Three Billion Lady, as if the bride and groom on the ceremonial stage were "watching" her too. Yet she seemed oblivious, chatting and laughing with Ryan Sheldon, even lightly tapping him twice with her gloved hand.
Ryan Sheldon looked very pleased, even leaning forward for her to tap him a few more times.
The other guests at the table chuckled a little.
Is it really appropriate to flirt at someone else’s wedding?
Well, it seems not so bad either.
Everyone watched the stunning couple with smiles, speculating if the Sheldon Family might be planning a celebration of their own.
With the Sheldon Family’s status, if they were to celebrate, getting an invitation would be extremely difficult.
Thus, the business tycoons at the Spencer Family wedding were already pondering how to obtain an invitation from the Sheldon Family.
Summer Spencer watched helplessly as her spotlight was repeatedly stolen by others, finally impatiently coughing softly, indicating for the emcee to start the ceremony quickly.
Unexpectedly, the emcee picked up the microphone again and announced, "The last to enter today is Nick Zeller, the 78th generation direct disciple of the Celestial Path Sect, the Great Heavenly Master Nick!" 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
"The Great Heavenly Master Nick is skilled in Feng Shui of residential houses and has profound insights into the study of bones and the four pillars, and is a towering figure in plum blossom numerology!"
"Let’s all stand and applaud to welcome Nick, the 78th generation direct disciple of the Celestial Path Sect, and his disciple, the Heavenly Master Lawrence, to enter!"
Cameron Spencer took the lead to start applauding.
The guests beneath the stage all stood up, applauding along.
The Three Billion Lady felt exasperated, and softly said to Ryan Sheldon, "Ryan, that’s Lawrence and her teacher. Can’t believe they’re so familiar with the Spencer Family that even the boss... resigned from hosting. Seems Lawrence’s family heritage in Feng Shui has some serious skills."
Ryan Sheldon was puzzled, "What? Lawrence knows Feng Shui?! Unbelievable! Isn’t she in PR and media? How does she know Feng Shui? By the way, what is it about Feng Shui?"
The Three Billion Lady was so frustrated she ignored him and said, "See for yourself."
Ryan Sheldon craned his neck to look at the venue’s entrance.
Suddenly, the lights in the venue dimmed, and the crystal chandeliers overhead went out. Replacing them were projector lights casting lotus flower patterns onto the red carpet.
Nick entered wearing modified traditional attire, radiating righteousness.
Lawrence was even more attention-grabbing.
Her outfit, an elegant cheongsam, accentuated her lovely figure several times over.
The lower part was an elegant ancient-style gown made from heavyweight pure silk, with ink wash like patterns. As she walked, her skirt fluttered, appearing both dazzling and ethereal, even more alluring than the fish-tail skirt of the Three Billion Lady earlier.
She walked in from outside, her every step spreading lotus flowers.
The music changed to a graceful ancient melody, complementing the celestial aura of Lawrence and Nick.
It’s as if two immortals descended to the mortal world.
The applause gradually died down, fearing the noise would disrespect the two celestial beings.
There was this reverent and cautious atmosphere, as if afraid to speak loudly for fear of disturbing heavenly entities.
Summer Spencer watched this scene and was almost driven to madness.
Brooke Osborne stole her spotlight; she endured it because Brooke Osborne was her nominal mother now.
The Three Billion Lady stole her spotlight; she endured it because the man supporting the Three Billion Lady was the second son of the Sheldon Family.
But Lawrence dared rob her spotlight too?
