Chapter 3 Flash Marriage

  • "I'll do it! I'll marry your son and I will become your daughter-in-law!" Jemima said.
  • Silvia Sterling was shocked at her declaration. She hadn't expected that she would agree to marry her vegetative son, no one wanted to marry him no matter how much she tried.
  • However, she didn't expect that this young woman would agree to marry him without hesitation.
  • She simply brought it up casually and didn't expect her answers at all.
  • "Are you sure about this, Miss? Do you know what you are about to do?" Silvia wanted to be sure.
  • "I'm very sure, ma'am. Also, my name is Jemima Forrester''.
  • "Okay, Jemmy. I'll arrange everything right away.
  • ..........
  • Soon after ,The wedding began immediately after Sylvia Sterling made the arrangements.
  • Dressed in a long wedding dress with a bouquet of flowers in her both hands,Jemima walked down the aisle as soft romantic music played along with each step she took.
  • Since there was no groom to begin with,Jemima Forrester walked to the aisle on her own and said her vows.
  • Then,she wore her wedding ring on her own without a fuss.
  • The attention of the rest of the people in the church was immediately drawn to the lone girl,who was both the bride and the groom at her own wedding.
  • They looked at her with bafflement. But, Jemima didn't bother sparing them a glance as she got married all on her own.
  • After getting married, Jemima turned around to the warm smile of the old lady Silvia Sterling.
  • From now on, she was no longer the foolish and naive girl they all trampled upon.
  • She was going to fight back. She was going to be impenetrable.
  • ........
  • Meanwhile, back at the Forrester mansion, a whole lot of cacophonous activity had overtaken the auspicious air in the atmosphere.
  • The initial beautiful atmosphere of the wedding was soon replaced with anger and yelling as the guests waited impatiently.
  • After waiting for what felt like an eternity. Everyone became hyper and prayed that the bride hadn't run away from the wedding.
  • "Why is it taking so long for the noble daughter of the Forrester family to arrive at her wedding?"
  • "I hope she hasn't done the unspeakable humiliation of Mr.Penty, if she did something like this, how will Mr. Penty face everyone in the upper class? His reputation will be ruined. I'm so scared for him!"
  • "He won't be able to show his face to everyone in the future after failing to get married to a vulnerable girl like Jemima Forrester–She dares to deceive Mr.Luca Penty?"
  • "How is she so bold to actually run away from her wedding? I thought she was noble, but it's all a facade"
  • The murmuring voices of the guests ignited the burning flame of anger in Luca Penty's heart and he couldn't help but whimper in anger.
  • He clenched his and gritted his teeth in anger. Then, his eyes wandered off to the shimmering image of Valerie Brown, who was dressed in a shiny dress with a lot of accessories attached to her body.
  • She was nearly fifty years old. However, she looked way younger than her age and she could undoubtedly compete for the youngest person in the Forrester Family.
  • Valerie Brown looked worried and a lot of wrinkles appeared on her face as she glanced at her phone repeatedly while pacing around.
  • She avoided Luca Penty's angry gaze by pretending to be busy. She looked aside and tried to call Jemima's number once more.
  • The line was switched off and this reality hurt Valerie Brown right in her chest.
  • While she was busy on her phone. She could feel a pair of eyes bearing into her existence.
  • She knew who those gawking eyes belonged to, but she didn't have the nerves to look back at the pair of eyes.
  • However, the buggy eyes, which were far off before, were sobering right into her soul.
  • She raised her head. She saw Luca Penty staring at her with anger written all over him. His eyes were jittery from too much anger.
  • When Valerie saw this scene, she almost tripped and fell. She was shaken by this man.
  • He was a very notorious and lecherous man in the city and everyone in the upper class knows him by name.
  • Even though he wasn't the most powerful and richest man in the city, everyone fears him. They all tremble at the mention of his name.
  • "Leave!"
  • "The wedding is canceled! Return home immediately and don't linger around anymore!" Luca Penty yelped without looking back at the throng of guests waiting in the wings.
  • Everyone shivered at this declaration and immediately left without saying a word.
  • Within a minute, the entire hall was immediately vacated.
  • Only the servants and security guards were left in the hall, tidying the place.
  • "Are you going to explain what on earth is going on?" Luca Penty shouted, immediately they were left alone.
  • "I can explain everything. Just come with me, I'll explain e–everything to you. Just don't get angry, Mr.Penty" Valerie Brown said as she tried to pacify the angry man.
  • "You better have a good explanation for this humiliation. Otherwise, not only you but your entire family will suffer a major blow if I'm dissatisfied with your reasons!"
  • "I don't have to remind you, Mrs.Forrester, what I'm capable of doing. Just don't give me reasons to be mad!"
  • "I understand everything clearly, Mr.Penty, just come with me first"
  • "Alia, get Mr.Penty settled over a cup of coffee and biscuits" Valerie tried to be hospitable.
  • "Is this the time for snacks? I want Jemima Forrester brought back to me both dead or alive!" He roared.
  • "I understand, Mr. Penty. I'll get Jemima to come back to you in one piece. Just give me a little more time". As Valerie Brown said, she continuously tapped on her phone and sent out a series of messages.
  • Valerie Brown was so hypertensive and it felt like she was going to pass out from exasperation any minute from now. "What an ungrateful child!"
