Chapter 614 A Lavish Wedding
Regardless of the situation right now, Conrad was considered to be one of Zac’s men. As soon as Zac saw Conrad’s face turn ashen out of anger, he instantly voiced out, “Young Master Xavier, I reckon that you shouldn’t let this perfect opportunity go to waste. After all, an opportunity rarely knocks twice.”
Meanwhile, Hendrey sat on the couch and silently puffed on his cigarette without uttering a single word.
He kept his eyes lowered and his gaze fell to the table as he seemed to be lost in thoughts.
Xavier stood in front of the window and held a cigarette in between his fingers. He snuffed out the cigarette forcefully on the windowsill and a ferocious note seeped in his voice. “I’ll say this to all of you right now. If any of you even lay a single hand on her before the end of her wedding ceremony, then that means you’re going against me!”
The other day after he had encountered Veronica, he promised her that he would not ruin her wedding. He promised not to take action during the wedding ceremony and this was the final thing he would do for her.
…
The bridal entourage turned into the highway and sped along it swiftly and steadily.
They then exited the highway upon arriving at Bloomstead. As Veronica sat in the car, she casually glanced outside and her gaze landed on an advertisement signboard by the roadside.
On the advertisement signboard was a photo of her and Matthew. There was a caption underneath the blissful photo. ‘Hand in hand, let’s walk through life together.’
As soon as she saw the photo, she was stunned and was just about to question Matthew about it when their car accelerated. Subsequently, she saw the next advertisement signboard and there was another photo of them.
Similarly, another caption below went, ‘You’ve pledged to enter into a marriage with me, so I pledge to hold your hands for eternity.’
Veronica had just finished reading the words on the advertisement signboard when the content of the next signboard appeared in front of her eyes.
At that moment, she was surprised to discover that the advertisement signboards along the road contained photos of her and Matthew with sweet captions. Furthermore, the advertisements on the cabs that zoomed past them also displayed well-wishes for their wedding day. She could see everything from every spot her gaze landed on.
“You… Why did you come up with such an exaggerated display?”
She tilted her head to glance at him. “It’s alright to maintain a low profile for our wedding.”
Meanwhile, Matthew, who was seated by her side, pulled his lips into a slight smile. “I’m getting married today, so there is no reason to maintain a low profile.”
“Pfft… Alright, then.” Veronica could not contain her laughter as a content smile appeared on her face.
She tilted her head to look outside the window and the huge poster-sized photos formed a picturesque scene outside. Be it the advertisement signboards by the roadside, the large display in the square, or the advertisements displayed on the cabs, every inch was covered.
Shortly after that, their car arrived at the Atlantis Hotel. All twenty of the Ferraris parked in a row at the hotel entrance.
However, with the hotel as the center, the areas within a radius of a mile away were guarded by bodyguards, so the reporters and members of the press were stopped from approaching.
There was a red carpet laid out at the entrance to the hotel while next to the carpet were wreaths made of red roses. There were fairy lights adorning the place and the decorations looked grand, extending all the way into the lobby.
The two of them had just alighted from the car when the hotel staff let off twenty fireworks in unison at the main square of the hotel. Whoosh! The fireworks were let off and erupted into a stunning display in the sky. There were also firecrackers being lit at the same time.
Instinctively, Veronica lifted her head to look at the fireworks. It was then that she realized there were colorful helium balloons in the air; tied to the bottom of each balloon was a long note with well-wishes written on them.
There were also a bunch of horizontal banners by the entrance and written on them were various jesting comments, which clearly looked like they came from Matthew’s buddies.
“Let’s go.” Matthew held out one hand and made a gentlemanly gesture.
Veronica could not help frowning. “You… I… Are we going straight in like this?”
She was slightly shocked. What happens to the usual procedure?
“Just come along with me.”
Matthew held her hand and led her into the lobby as their friends stood by the side before releasing the party poppers in their hands in unison. The colorful streamers and dried flowers then rained onto the couple. In the air, there were also drones hovering to shower them with red rose petals. The atmosphere was heightened as the song ‘Mariage d’Amour’ rang out.
Matthew took Veronica into his arms and reached out to shield her head before gently lowering her veil. Subsequently, he led her into the room in quick strides.
They first went past the lobby, then entered the elevator to get to the penthouse suite.
Every step they walked on was covered by red carpet and the intricately designed feature wall was adorned with beautiful flowers and ribbons. There was also a gold cursive writing of ‘Happy Marriage’ adorning the wall.
The hotel staff was also dressed according to the theme.
At the same time, many luxurious cars gradually entered the parking lot of the Atlantis Hotel and the guests entered the ballroom on the second floor after showing their invitation cards.
The time ticked by and it finally came to 11.45AM. The wedding ceremony officially started.
