Chapter 3 Nothing is fair
Back in the bar, the man looked at the ring in his hand, and a beautiful arc appeared on the corner of his mouth, which almost surprised the bar owner, Bob Fox, who happened to come in.
"What! Young Master Panter smiled?" Bob wondered out aloud. "Did the sun rise from the West today!?"
His name was Dan Panter. A business genius, he was the heir of the mysterious Panter family.
The Panter family was a pillar of stability in the business world, with assets spread all over the world. They had industries in various countries, and most of them were leading enterprises.
Dan was famous and well-known, but he kept a low profile and never participated in publicity activities directly. Even his photos could not be found on the Internet.
Because of the mystery, there were diverse rumors about his person and character. The most widely circulated one was that he was almost thirty years old and still had no girlfriend. It was allegedly said that he was gay and preferred men to women
Bob Fox, the bar owner, another guy who was so handsome that women always salivated over, was rumoured to be Dan's boyfriend.
Dan did not care about the rumors, but Bob did as such rumors could have a great impact on his chances of picking up girls. So he had asked Dan to come over to his place so that he could find a beautiful but non-clinging woman for him to dispel the rumors.
Dan's smile disappeared immediately he saw his friend coming in.
"What are you doing here? I thought you were out of town?" He inquired of him.
Bob came and sat down next to him with his arm on his shoulder...
Dan glanced at him coldly, and he immediately took his arm away.
, "There is good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?" Bob started, smiling.
"The bad one."
"The bad news is that the woman I found for you had a car accident on the way and couldn't come."
"Are you kidding me? Who was the woman just now?" He wondered.
"The woman just now is Roslyn Brandon, the only daughter of the Brandon family. She is getting married in three days."
"Is this the good news you mentioned?" Dan asked, a slight frown on his face.
"Yeah." Bob nodded, leaning close to his ear. "I'm telling you..."
"Get away!" He pushed him away, exuding a cold aura.
Dan was a grown-up man with normal s****l orientation, but he did not understand how he was rumored to be gay. Had it not been for the urge to eliminate the negative rumors, he would not have listened to Bob's arrangement to join him in his pub so as to find a woman.
As fate would have it, the arranged woman did not come, and he ended up being mistaken for a loverboy by another woman. The head of the Panter family was mistaken for a male prostitute, where could he go to seek justice!

Three days later at the King's Moonstar Hotel, the wedding of Roslyn Brandon and Kevin Trenton was held as scheduled.
The groom was dressed in a neat handmade high-end suit, and looked very handsome.
Roslyn was dressed in a wedding dress with heavy makeup on her face. Although she did not open her eyes, her beauty could still not be hidden.
Still playing her ploy of being incapacitated, she sat in a wheelchair, and Diana Kend pushed her to stand next to Kevin.
Lilly Brown, as the bridesmaid, was wearing a bridesmaid dress.She stood on the other side of the groom.
The ceremony began.
Video recordings of the bride and groom from their acquaintance to their understanding was played on the huge electronic screen. There was no problem at the beginning, but after a few shots, the picture suddenly shook, and then an action movie not suitable for children appeared. The scene was of Kevin, the groom, and Lilly, the bridesmaid, making love.
This scene stunned everyone, and the conversation between the two people in between breaths was even more shocking!
Lilly: …I want to do it with you in your wedding room, that will be exciting enough!"
Kevin: I will definitely satisfy you, baby, and wait until we get Roslyn out, this useless woman, the property is completely in your hands, you can do whatever you want, you can spend her money, live in her house, sleep with her man...
The guests in the audience were in an uproar. Tension hang in the room like the ominous sword of Damocles.
Roslyn's parents were so angry that their hands were shaking. Their daughter, whom they regarded as the apple of their eye, was treated so humiliatingly. The two bastards must not be let off easily.
Roslyn's mother stepped forward and slapped Kevin and Lilly twice, questioning them in a trembling voice: "Has your conscience been eaten by a dog? I trusted you so much, and you actually did such a thing in her ward while she lay helpless!"
When Kevin's mother saw her son being beaten, she immediately stepped forward to protect her him.
"Why did you hit my son? Your daughter is a waste and can't serve a man, and you didn't let my son find another woman!" She paused for effect before continuing.
"My son is willing to marry your daughter out of kindness, so that she will have a place to be buried after her death and can enter the ancestral tomb. Many men are always playing with women, what's the fuss? Your daughter is a vegetable, but my son is fine. I can't let my son be a widower with a loser..."
Kevin's mother had a face full of flesh and triangular eyes. Her arrogant and unreasonable look shocked the guests at the wedding!
"You, you bastard..." Roslyn''s mother was a very educated, reputable woman. Even if she was so angry that she was shaking all over, she still could not say anything too much.
Her father's face was ashen, his hands and feet were cold. With great effort, he controlled his rage and rose to make some announcement.
"The wedding is cancelled, it doesn't count," he proclaimed.
"The wedding can be cancelled, but you can't reduce the dowry you promised to give by a penny. It's considered as compensation for my son's mental damages!" Kevin's mother jumped out again and made a shameless request.
"Other than my son, no one will marry a loser," she complacently added.
As if on cue, Roslyn, who was sitting in a wheelchair, suddenly opened her eyes.
