J City, early summer.
The Peony Hall of the seven-star Prosperous Dynasty Hotel
Thousands of guests had just witnessed an awkward wedding, where the bridegroom Derrick Hughes was absent. The sensational joint marriage between two rich and powerful families of Hughes and Harris ended up with failure.
More than that, it was exactly when the bride marched in that a piece of news on the bridegroom Derrick's love affairs with a little-known female entertainer suddenly appeared on the large screen. From the news, those present knew that the bridegroom had stayed overnight with that woman the night before the wedding.
The unexpected incident caused uproar among guests there. The bridegroom's family members were disgraced and wrong-footed to deal with it.
On the stage, the bride, who was wearing a white wedding dress and a white veil on her head, was reduced to citywide tabloid fodder.
On the VIP seats, the bride's mother Mrs. Harris was deeply worried and said to her husband, "honey, what should we do now?"
Gloomy and silent, Mr. Harris was also at a loss for actions, since he had also never experienced such an absurd thing before.
Harris in the east, Lewis in the west, Hughes in the south and Johnson in the north were the most famous families in J City. It was not trivial matter to bear the consequences of such a folly. He also did not know why the second son of the Hughes family escaped from the marriage.
To finish this joint marriage, the Harris family had specially brought back Skyler from Emerald Mountain, who had not returned home for more than ten years, yet met with such a scandal.
At this moment, Matthew Hughes, the master of the Hughes family, trotted towards Mr. Harris and patted him on the shoulder.
"Roland, it's the Hughes family's fault. Can we postpone this wedding? After I catch that wayward son, I'll give you a satisfactory account."
Roland was just about to speak when he saw the bride on the stage speak...
Then, the thousands of guests quieted down.
Everyone wanted to know how this embarrassing bride to clear up such a mess situation .
Holding the microphone in her hand, the bride Skyler Harris calmly scanned the entire site through the white veil,
and then fixed her eyes on a man on the VIP seat in the first row, who kept looking down at his mobile phone.
Well, that's him.
She said softly with a microphone in her hand, "Excuse me, the gentleman in a black suit at the fourth table in the first row, who is playing with the mobile phone with his head lowered down."
With eyelids twitched subconsciously, Leonel Johnson was wondering that "the gentleman who is playing with the mobile phone with his head lowered down"... Could it be him?
He somewhat surprisedly raised his head and looked at the bride on the stage...
Her appearance was hidden behind the white veil, known to no one. There were a total of five daughters in the Harris family. Leonel had seen all but this one. It was said that she had followed her grandmother to the Emerald Mountain to practice abstinence from meat and pray to Buddha since she was a child, until she was brought back only three days ago.
It was rumored that this fifth daughter was ugly and had a stutter. However, it seemed not to be the case according to the way how she spoke just now...
Seeing the man raise his head, Skyler continued with a brisk voice, "Something happened beyond my expectation today, but I don't want to ruin everyone's mood to attend the banquet, so I have a presumptuous request for you. Sir, do you have the courage to come up to the stage, be my temporary bridegroom, and complete this wedding with me?"
This was an absolutely startling request, leading to a ruckus immediately.
Did she want to catch a temporary substitute? It was common to see an actor substitute and a player substitute, but it was the first time to heard a bridegroom substitute.
The Hughes family and the Harris family were so shocked. They didn't expect that this woman would do such an inconceivable thing.
Leonel was also slightly surprised. She just asked him whether he dared to be her bridegroom substitute? Even using a provoking way?"
Knowing that it was definitely a very dramatic thing, he still couldn't help walking toward the stage.
In fact, Leonel was very curious about what this woman would do next. There were not many people who dared to do such an unruly thing these days, especially a lady from a distinguished family.
She doubtlessly piqued his interest, and stroke his long-calm heart.
Leonel's mother Mrs. Johnson stamped her feet in great anxiety, tried to stop her abnormal son, "Leonel, come back!"
