Until that moment, Rodney still felt like he was in a dream, trapped, and could not wake up.
"Now, the groom may kiss the bride," the emcee said.
Rodney gradually came back to his senses. He lifted the bride's veil, only to see the woman in front of him with fair skin and a pretty face. However, upon closer look, her face was still stiff when she smiled.
That was a face that had undergone plastic surgery. The surgery was very successful, and the scars on Sarah’s face were gone. Her face looked even better than before, yet Rodney found it unfamiliar.
It was so unfamiliar that he could not bring himself to kiss her at all.
Seeing that Rodney did not move even after some time, the smile on Sarah's face stiffened. She reminded him in a low voice, "Rodney...”
The emcee joked, "Our groom must be stunned by the bride’s beauty."
Laughter erupted below the stage.
Rodney closed his eyes and accepted his fate as he kissed Sarah.
On the night of the wedding, the villa's butler handed over the monetary gifts and a list of wedding gifts to Sarah.
After looking through it, Sarah was unsatisfied. "Why i s there so little? The largest monetary gift is only 20 thousand dollars. Rodney, I recall you giving hundreds of thousands of dollars to your friends before. You were too generous back then. Look at how stingy they H are.
Rodney thought, 'Not even one of my friends from those days came. Where would the monetary gifts come from?' However, he did not explain it to her. He just smoked in silence. He did not like to smoke before, but he had gotten addicted to it lately.
It seemed like only smoking would make him feel less annoyed.
"You took brotherhood too seriously back then." Sarah sighed. “But times have changed. You're no longer the person in charge of Snow Corporation, and you definitely don't have as much money as before.
However, expenses will be needed for our small family of two. Let's do it this way. I'll be in charge of the family's finances from now on. You can leave it to me t o handle the monetary gifts, so you can rest easy and work hard, okay?"
