Chapter 510
A Graham family member revealed, "Matthew did not invite Nicolas to the wedding. Also, Nicolas is not in good health and can't defeat Matthew..."
The others were stunned. "Mr. Graham is indeed ruthless. He doesn't even let his father attend his once-in-a-lifetime wedding. Isn't the Graham family going to interfere?"
The Graham family member said, "Who can tell Matthew what to do? Neil has made it clear that his shares will be divided into three parts, one for Matthew, one for Athena, and one for their children.
"In other words, Matthew will become Graham Group's head and largest shareholder. He won't even let his father off. Who dares to offend him? "Matthew has already kicked Nicolas out of the board of directors in the name of Nicolas being seriously ill and unable to perform his duties. Nicolas no longer has any position in the Graham Group. The Graham family is even about to take back his shares. The reason his condition worsened was that Matthew angered him.
"After Nicolas fell ill and lost his power, his personality became temperamental. Farrah and Loreen couldn't stand his temper and moved out of the Graham family's place. Even Archie and his mother didn't dare to approach Nicolas."Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
Someone commented, "Nicolas is really alone now."
Someone said, "I didn't expect that the Casanova who dated so many women would fall sick so quickly and be abandoned by everyone. Ugh, things are so unpredictable..."
Someone else said, "This serves him right! He did so many things to let his wife down when he was young. He deserves to be hated by his children..."
In short, no one sympathized with Nicolas.
There were even many people who felt that although the old Nicolas was living a miserable life, he had slept with so many beautiful women when he was young and had so many bastard children, so he didn't lose much.
As for whether Nicolas felt that he had suffered a loss or not, only he knew.
Someone looked around and asked, "Why don't I see Lucy? Mr. Graham is getting married. Not only did he not invite his father and stepmother, but he also did not invite his sister. That's just unbelievable."
Someone else said, "Lucy is the CEO and chairwoman of Miracle Automobile Group. Her business is thriving. The shareholder behind her is Matthew. The relationship between the siblings is extremely good. Why hasn't she shown up yet?"
Someone said, "There's insider news that Miracle Automobile Group was Matthew's backup plan. If Neil didn't agree to his marriage with Athena and still wanted to deal with the Donovan family, he would leave Graham Group and work at Miracle Automobile Group."
Another one said, "I heard rumors that Mr. Matthew Graham was already prepared to lead his trusted aides away from Graham Group. Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, Neil Graham very straightforwardly agreed to his marriage with Athena. He even gave all the businesses used to deal with the Donovan family to the Donovan family. Otherwise, Matthew and his sister would definitely become Graham Group's archenemy in the future..." Someone said, Matthew and his sister have stayed in the Graham Group for so many years. They cultivated and promoted a large number of talents. If they take all these talents away, it will definitely be a huge loss for Graham Group.....”
While everyone was discussing Lucy, she was driving the luxury car slowly into the parking lot near the wedding venue.
Then, she parked at the designated spot.
The security guard stepped forward and opened the car door.
As soon as Lucy got out of the car, a receptionist immediately walked up and said respectfully, "Ms. Graham, this way."
Lucy smiled. “Thank you."
As she walked, she sighed at how incomparably grand the wedding was.
The entire Graham Hotel was booked. Other than the people attending the wedding and the staff and security personnel, no one else could step into the hotel.
Moreover, how much would it cost to book it for seven days?
Marriage between super-rich families was indeed extraordinary
However, after walking for a while, Lucy realized that the receptionist did not lead her to the brightly lit and crowded main entrance. Instead, she led Lucy to the small garden dining room at the side.
Lucy found it strange. "Why are you leading me this way?"
The receptionist said respectfully, "That entrance is for ordinary guests. Your identity is special, so you'll take a special passage. This is to prevent you from getting too much attention, which might cause unnecessary trouble."
Lucy nodded. "Got it."
She followed the receptionist into the small dining room.
The small dining room was quiet and elegant. The lights were dim, and there was no one else around.
Lucy felt strange again. "Am I the only one here?"
The receptionist stopped at the door of the private room and smiled. "This is the lounge. You may rest here for a while. When the wedding officially begins, someone will come and inform you."
With that, she pushed the door open slightly.
"Thank you." Lucy pushed open the door of the private room and walked in.
The lights in the private room were still dim, and there didn't seem to be anyone else.
However, just as Lucy walked in, the door behind her suddenly closed.
Her heart skipped a beat and she subconsciously turned around. However, at this moment, the private room lit
Shocked, Lucy turned around again and saw someone sitting on the sofa on the right.
"Mr... Mr. Graham?" Lucy exclaimed, her face turning pale. "Uh, no, Matthew, why are you here?"
up.
Matthew was wearing a well-ironed and noble black suit. There was a red rose in his left chest pocket. His shiny hair covered his forehead. Under his hair was a pair of deep and sharp eyes.
At this moment, he was staring at Lucy with sharp eyes.
Lucy's hair stood on end under his gaze. She tried her best to force a calm smile. “Matthew, the wedding is about to begin. W-why are you here?" Matthew stood up slowly like a lazy lion that had woken up and was hungry. It was time to start hunting.
The aggressiveness he gave off overwhelmed Lucy.
Lucy could not help but take two steps back. She wanted to remain calm, but she could not. "Matthew, what, what's going on with you?"
Matthew stared at her. "Do you know how important tonight's wedding is to me?"
Lucy gulped. "Of, of course, I know..."
Matthew smiled slightly. "Since you know, how dare you come and ruin my wedding?"
Lucy said fearfully, "Matthew, what's wrong? I-I'm your sister...
Matthew smiled and said firmly, "Lila, how dare you pretend to be my sister and attend my wedding?"
Lila felt as if she had been struck by lightning. Not only did all her plans, efforts, and risks go down the drain, but even her situation was extremely dangerous.
She denied it almost reflexively. "Matthew, what, what nonsense are you talking about? I-I'm your sister...
At the same time, she instinctively retreated and wanted to escape.
"I have to rush back to see my bride. I don't have time to talk nonsense with you," Matthew said calmly. I've already caught James. I'll let him spend the rest of his life in prison."
Lila looked at him with a pale face. "How did you know... everything?"
She wondered, 'How did Matthew
I
know that I was pretending to be
Lucy tonight and wanted to secretly do something at the wedding venue? I've been hiding well for the past four years and have never appeared in public. Only James and my trusted aïdes can see my face!
Matthew sneered. "You're such a fool. You overestimate yourself and underestimate your opponent.
"I've already investigated the matter of you being secretly picked up by James four years ago.
"It's just that you haven't done anything, so I didn't hurt you.
"Tonight, James sent his men to discuss a big business deal with my sister to stall her. You pretended to be my sister and wanted to play tricks at my wedding. My sister knows very well.
"We've just been waiting for you to take the bait."
Lila had already collapsed to the ground. She was so afraid that tears fell from her eyes. "Mr., Mr. Graham, please, please let me go. I'm just James's puppet. I'm at his mercy. I didn't get to choose..."
Matthew said lightly, "No one can ruin my wedding with Athena!
"Those who dare to come and destroy it must pay the price!
"I'll send my men to send you back
to Aeloria now. After you reach Aeloria, you'll undergo a series of plastic surgery to recover your original appearance. Then, you be arrested and imprisoned for selling illegal drugs.
"Of course, you don't need to worry too much. I guess the prison conditions in Aeloria are not bad. At least, you won't starve or freeze."
After saying that, he stepped over Lila's feet and did not look at her again.
He walked out of the small dining room, walked through the small garden, stepped into the secret passage, and went straight to the hotel.
There, Athena was wearing a white
wedding dress and jewelry that Matthew had personally designed for her. She was holding a bouquet of red reses in her hand and
fragrance of the flowers.
lowering her he to smell clot
Suddenly, she seemed to have sensed something. She raised her head and turned to look in Matthew's direction.
Then, she gave him a bright and blissful smile.
Such a smile brought li
to Matthew.
Matthew smiled and quickly walked over to hug Athena, his beloved bride.
Athena stood on her tiptoes, raised her head slightly, and kissed Matthew, her beloved groom.
The end.
