Faced with Charles's question, Kevin was sweating. He couldn't answer him.
Even though Kevin didn't say anything, the fact that all the gift boxes were taken away meant only one thing: the gifts weren't from Kevin.
An unbelievable thought flashed through Charles's mind: 'Could those gift boxes really have been from Ethan?' But Charles quickly dismissed the idea. It was impossible for that poor guy, Ethan, to send those gifts.
A day later, the news of the Harris family's eldest daughter's wedding and the second daughter's engagement spread quickly throughout Greenhill City!
Several families mocked Sophia and congratulated Silvia! After all, connecting with a powerful family from Crownspire was more beneficial for them!
As for Sophia? With her qualities, she could have married into a good family, but unfortunately, she chose a loser, so she could only become a joke!
At the top floor of the most luxurious five-star hotel in Greenhill City, Ethan stood in front of a huge floor-length window, overlooking the city.
After a while, Ethan gently spoke, "In seven days, I want her to have the most extravagant wedding!"
Dozens of top aristocrats stood behind him, responding in unison, "Yes, sir!"
***
Five days before the wedding, Greenhill City came to a halt. All shops, factories, institutions, and schools got paid leave and triple their usual salaries. Countless strangers came into the city, decorating every storefront with flowers, ribbons, and balloons.
Three days before the wedding, all the restaurants were booked and provided free food and drinks to the entire city's residents for seven days! Even the homeless didn't have to worry about their lives and could enjoy the celebrations!
One day before the wedding, famous families and financial magnates arrived, filling Greenhill City with luxury cars and yachts.
A stage was set up overnight on the river at the Water Art Center, with one side directly connected to the Harris family!
Everyone knew that all this was preparation for the Harris family's big day. The whole city was envious of the Harris family!
On the wedding day
Families from all over Greenhill City gathered early at the Harris family's entrance.
Countless nobles who usually looked down on the Harris family were all smiling today. Just this grand setup was enough to prove that the Harris family would become powerful after today.
Charles, in a suit, enjoyed the respect from everyone. He was smiling broadly!
Guests congratulated Charles one after another:
"Mr. Harris, congratulations on your daughter's happiness! We sincerely wish her well!"
"Yes, Mr. Harris is truly fortunate!"
"When I came, I saw that all the main streets of the city were beautifully decorated with flowers and ribbons on both sides, like the beautiful world in a fairy tale."
"This is a gift from my family, a pair of blue diamond earrings. Though they are humble, please accept them, Mr. Harris!"
"This is a gift from my family!"
"And from my family..."
Looking at the gifts filling the entire living room, Charles couldn't stop smiling. 'My daughter's engagement has brought all the aristocrats in Greenhill City to offer their congratulations! This is a great honor! And all of this is because of my younger daughter, Silvia!'
Charles looked at Silvia, who was surrounded by people, then at Sophia, who stood alone in the distance. He sighed inwardly, 'Sophia, don't blame me! This is the path you chose!'
Sophia, in a simple white wedding dress, stood alone in the corner, looking very sad compared to Silvia.
The wedding dress was sent by Ethan. It was pure white with no decorations, except for a thumb-sized diamond pinned on the left chest. Although this diamond was dazzling, Sophia thought, 'This must be fake. If it were real, it would be worth millions!'
Sophia's heart was full of bitterness. 'Today, countless aristocrats came to celebrate Silvia’s engagement! Can’t my wedding day even compare to my sister's engagement?'
Suddenly, Sophia felt a small hand in hers. She looked down to see July holding her hand.
July's small face was full of joy. "Mom, is Daddy coming to marry you today?"
Looking at July's cute face, Sophia felt warmth in her heart. She held her small hand and said, "Yes, Daddy is coming to marry Mommy today! From now on, we can live happily together as a family."
Silvia's mocking voice suddenly rang out. "Haha, Sophia, are you still dreaming at this time?" Silvia, in a white wedding dress, looking like a proud swan, walked over arrogantly with the crowd around her.
Silvia looked Sophia up and down and sneered, "What era is it now? Are you still wearing this outdated wedding dress? It's so shabby. The wedding dress I'm wearing was custom-made by Kevin. It’s so expensive!"
Silvia's bridesmaid looked curiously at the diamond on Sophia's dress. "Silvia, the diamond on her chest looks like the legendary Angel's Light diamond."
The surrounding people fell silent upon hearing this. After a few seconds, they burst into laughter.
Silvia laughed, "Do we even need to think about it? Of course, it's a fake. The Angel's Light diamond should be worth billions, right? Sophia, if you had listened to Dad, you wouldn't have ended up wearing a fake diamond! The most important day of a woman's life, and you don't even have guests to congratulate you! Living like this is a joke!"
The bridesmaid added, "Ha ha, Silvia, how can Sophia compare to you? Her husband is a useless loser, while Mr. Kevin is from a wealthy family!"
Silvia's lips curled into a malicious smile, her eyes filled with malice. "Sophia, weren't you the eldest daughter of the Harris family? You were smarter, prettier, and more popular with men than me! But now, you're a laughingstock! From today on, everything that should have been yours will be mine! And you will have nothing!"
Sophia lowered her head and didn't argue. 'This is all my choice. Who can I blame?'
Boom!
Suddenly, a loud explosion echoed through the sky! Everyone's attention was immediately drawn to it! Countless fireworks exploded in the sky, making the entire Greenhill City sky look dazzling!
Silvia couldn't stop smiling. "Sophia, do you see that? My better half is here to marry me!"
