“If I were that woman, I would die right now!”
“Gosh! The man looks like the mysterious rich man on the Internet!”
“Too bad I can’t see his face! Argh! This is so tormenting!”
The onlookers were completely immersed in the endless romantic scene happening in the Sky Garden.
Thousands of people who were watching right now couldn’t help but feel envious at this moment. Their eyes were filled with blessings as they kept their eyes at the grand garden that seemed to be suspended in the air.
Many women burst into tears as the uncontrollable and overwhelming envy flooded their hearts. They were so jealous as they wished they were the bride of the lavish wedding tonight.
Although they couldn’t see the faces of the couple tonight, they could feel that the bride was extremely happy and full of love.
Inside the garden, Joe was walking slowly towards Claire and stood in front of her. He pointed at the night view of Aurous Hill outside the window and said with affection, “Claire, I love you! I’m sorry for not being able to give you a wedding back then. I hope you like this wedding where there’s only the two of us!”
Claire regained her composure from all the distracting features that distracted her. She covered her mouth in awe, tears flooding her eyes that flowed down her radiant cheeks and fell to the floor like pearls.
Claire couldn’t resist the vigorous waves in her heart any longer. She threw herself into Joe’s arms and said in her sobbing voice, “I like it! I like it very much! Thank you, Joe! Thank you!”
She cried even harder after saying that. At this moment, she felt that all the grievances she had suffered in the past three years were worth it!
No matter how Joe had done all this, at least for now, she was very happy. In fact, she was the happiest woman in Aurous Hill tonight!
The whole Aurous Hill was watching the extremely lavish wedding through the hazy frosted crystal glass.
While they were extremely envious of the couple and their setting, they couldn’t help but wonder who the couple who held their wedding in the Sky Garden was.
Moreover, they were so mysterious that there were only two of them at their wedding. Not a single relative nor friend was present, not even a witness!
On the crystal stage, Joe took Claire’s hand and retrieved the jade necklace he had prepared for a long time.
“Claire, this is my wedding anniversary gift for you. I hope you like it!”
Claire stared at the crystal-clear jade necklace and exclaimed, “This…isn’t this the prized possession of Emerald Court? Joe, how and where did you get this?”
Claire was astonished when she said it.
Was Joe the mysterious billionaire in the video?
How else could he have had this jade necklace?
But…
But it didn’t make any sense!
She was very clear about Joe, how could he be the mysterious man?
The word wealthy didn’t exist in him, period!
Joe could see the surprise and bewilderment in Claire’s eyes. He had the sudden urge to reveal himself to her, to tell her who he really was. He wanted to tell her so badly that he was the descendant of the Smith family in Eastcliff, the heir of trillions in family fortune.
However, a horrid and serious thought struck his mind.
He had no clue about the Smith family’s current situation!
In his memory, he remembered meeting his uncles when he was young—that was to say that his father was not the only son of his grandfather.
If so, his uncles must have their offspring too. These people would inevitably regard him as a thorn in their fleshes in terms of succession of inheritance.
If he hastily disclosed his identity before he got hold of any information about his family and the ability to protect himself and Claire, it would put Claire’s life in danger!
Inheritance disputes and the ploys involved were very treacherous and cruel, and he didn’t want his beloved wife to face such risks because of him.
Hence, he quickly came up with a lie. “This necklace may look exactly like the prized treasure of Emerald Court, but it’s actually a counterfeit that I paid someone to make. It is made of good jade material, but it is different from the one at Emerald Court, this necklace only costs me tens of thousands of dollars in total.”
He looked at her anxiously and asked, “Claire, do you still like it now that you know it’s a fake?”
Claire heaved a heavy sigh of relief!
It made so much sense now!
She quickly smiled gleefully and said, “Dumdum, of course, I like it! You’ve done so much for me, I’m very touched!”
Joe was relieved and hurriedly put the jade necklace on for Claire.
He looked at Claire earnestly and uttered, “Claire, we’ve been married for three years but I’ve given you nothing but trouble and humiliation, I’m sorry. But from now on, I can assure you that no one can bully you anymore!”
Claire nodded, feeling very glad and happy. At this moment, she realized that her husband was finally going to straighten his back and be a man!
After the wedding, Joe and Claire left quietly from the exclusive elevator in the Sky Garden.
The onlookers were dumbfounded and bewildered.
Did they leave just like that?
After showing so much romantic affection to the world, they simply left?
Overnight, the grand wedding at the Sky Garden became the hottest topic in the city.
However, the bride and groom of the wedding remained unknown.
Joe drove the modified BMW 520 and went home with Claire.
Claire was still immersed in great happiness, almost as if she was laying in the center of cloud nine. She couldn’t help but ask, “How did you book the Sky Garden? They’ve never allowed that ever.”
Joe smiled coyly and said, “Frankly, the senior executive of Shangri-La is a good friend of mine back at the orphanage. We used to share our hard and difficult times together and I always shared half of my steamed bun with him, so when I asked him for a favor, he said ok.”
Claire nodded lightly. “Oh, I see. Why haven’t I heard about this before?”
“I have a lot of friends at the orphanage, I might need at least three days to talk about all of them. I’ve never mentioned anything because I thought you didn’t like listening to it.”
Claire uttered in an earnest tone, “You are my husband, of course I’m interested in your past. I’m very curious.”
Joe laughed gladfully. “Okay then, I’ll tell you more!”
“Alright!”
