The emcee smiled before he said, "Oh! I really did not expect Miss Morningstar to be so touched. She must have been waiting a long time for this marriage to happen. This is truly a perfect and consensual match made in heaven! Let us wish this couple a happy new marriage, eternal love, and a bright and peaceful life ahead with a round of applause!" s
When Juliet heard this, she felt as though she was about to collapse. She squatted down on the ground as she buried her face deep in her hands and continued crying miserably. 7
The emcee picked up on her emotions and continued speaking, "It seems as though our bride is feeling very emotional now. Let us interview our groom. May I ask Mr. Turk Scotson, what are your feelings right now, since you are able to marry such a young and beautiful wife?"
Turk chuckled slightly as he said, "I am feeling very excited..."
The emcee smiled before he asked, "Then, Mr. Turk Scotson, do you have the urge to sing a song under this kind of situation?” 6
Turk felt a little embarrassed as he said, "I am not very well educated, and I am not a very cultured person. So, I do not know how to sing any songs at all."
The emcee said again, "Our bride, Miss Juliet Morningstar's parents are also here at the wedding reception today. I would like to ask the groom, Mr.
Turk Scotson, do you have anything that you want to say to your father-in-law and mother-in-law?”
Turk looked down at the audience, and he saw Zell and his wife, who were too heartbroken for tears at this time. He waved at them cautiously before he said, "The both of you can rest assured that I will treat Juliet well." 1
In fact, there was something else that Turk wanted to ask the couple, but he felt too embarrassed to ask them this question.
He wanted to ask his father-in-law, Zell, whether the fifty million dollar dowry that they had agreed on before this still counted. 7
However, he was afraid that Zell would come up on stage and beat him up if he dared to ask him this question. Therefore, he could only give up on this thought. 7
At this time, the emcee said to Zell and his wife," Come! Let us welcome the parents of our bride to come up on stage!"
The Scotson family members had all already become expressionless applauding machines at this point. 5
