My Wasted Husband Is in Power, Now! novel Chapter 399

Upon hearing this, Brad immediately shouted at Hailey, "My sister doesn't want something that you've used before. Sit down!"

Jordan felt rather embarrassed on the stage too.

"Haha, the groom's ex-wife is quite generous. She's giving him an out. Otherwise, Miss Lauren Howard won't even have a decent piece of jewelry."

"Yes, the rules of many wealthy families in DC are that the groom has to be the one to get the jewelry for his bride."

How could Jordan not know that Hailey was deliberately trying to make him and Lauren look bad? It was clear she was jealous and she still wanted to be with Jordan!

Jordan said coldly, "No, keep the necklace for yourself!"

Afterward, Jordan asked Salvatore who was on the stage. "Salvatore, where's that bag that I left in the hotel and asked you to take previously?"

In response, Salvatore piped up, "Are you referring to the plastic bag from Target? I left it in the trunk of my car and it's in the parking lot of the hotel."

"Okay, go bring that bag over here. It contains the gift that I brought for Lauren."

"Alright."

Salvatore said while scurrying over.

However, at this moment, all the guests started giggling.

"The groom's gift for Miss Howard is actually in a Target bag?"

"Haha, is the gift from Target? Did he buy her socks that cost 10 bucks a pair?"

It seemed that everyone despised Jordan and belittled him, judging from the way the live-in husband was being humiliated by everyone at his wedding!

Jordan did not say anything and waited quietly for Salvatore. Soon, Salvatore came over with the Target plastic bag.

Jordan was just about to reach out to pick it up when his mother-in-law, Marissa, beat him to it. Snatching the bag, Marissa flew into a rage.

"You disgraceful son-in-law! If you're too poor to give my daughter any gifts, you can choose not to give her anything. Lauren will be elegant and beautiful even if she doesn't wear any jewelry! But I will never allow you to give my daughter these things that are going to degrade her!"

As he said that, she tossed the plastic bag far, far away.

Jordan suddenly panicked and got off the stage. He then leaped over to catch the Target bag.

Marissa was even angrier. "How disgraceful! You even leaped onto the ground in front of the guests for a stupid bag! Oh God, what sins have I committed in my last life to have my daughter marry such a man!?"

The guests roared in laughter.

'Must he go all out to catch a lousy bag from Target?'

'He doesn't even care about his image as a groom.'

Lauren, on the other hand, couldn't bear to watch anymore.

Instead, she denounced Marissa, "Mom, how can you do this? Jordan is my husband. Even if he gives me something that costs ten dollars, I'll like them too. You're being too rude!"

"You... you silly girl. Don't you even feel embarrassed?

You only care about what you like. Have you ever spared a thought for the Howards' pride?" Marissa lectured Lauren.

At this moment, Jordan had already picked up the Target plastic bag and walked over.

"Lauren, here is a necklace for you."

As he said that, he took out a very exquisite box from the bag, and the moment everyone saw it, they felt that something was amiss.

The packaging of the box was obviously of superior quality and it definitely wasn't something that could be bought at Target!

Jordan humphed coldly. Those stuck-up snobs obviously didn't know that it was the most expensive necklace in the world!
