The attendees of the evening banquet arrived one by one, their hearts filled with excitement.
The moonlight was gentle like water, casting over the vast sea surface, stirring up layers of silver scales-like gold flakes, as the luxuriously lit cruise sailed across the waters.
What a romantic and jubilant scene.
At Clearwater Bay, in the large vintage-style villa, only the living room was lit, appearing a bit desolate under the night sky’s embrace.
After returning, Kristina Kingston sat on the sofa and watched the entire live streaming of the wedding.
The television screen displayed the following scene—
On the deck, the light bands flickered, countless roses and balloons adorned the surroundings, the delightful sound of a violin echoed in the ocean’s center, and it was performed live by a renowned Italian artist, costing millions per minute, truly a display of wealth. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel·fire.net
Mia Lane changed into a red evening gown, and her gentle smile outshone the moonlight, exuding a beauty that could topple a nation.
On TV, her son tenderly brushed back the locks of hair that the wind blew onto her cheeks, unable to resist planting a gentle kiss on her forehead.
Then a round of applause erupted from the crowd, everyone wearing smiles of blessing on their faces.
Kristina Kingston’s face turned slightly stern. Was he truly in love with her?
Mary stood by, noticing that Mrs. Kingston’s cold gaze remained fixed on Mia Lane, seemingly with a hint of resentment.
"Madam..." she called softly.
"I never expected that girl could win Justin Kingston’s heart again." Kristina Kingston withdrew her gaze, leaned forward, picked up a teacup, her tone indifferent, "Credit where it’s due."
Mary was just about to say a few words in Mia Lane’s favor, but the scene on TV suddenly shifted, causing Madam to change her expression—
"This tastes so good! What’s it called?" a sharp voice came through.
"Don’t worry about its name, just eat if you want to! Eat until you’re full! Thanks to the village chief!"
"Doesn’t it feel like our Sunshine Village marrying off a daughter? She’s everyone’s daughter!"
"Absolutely! And she married a great catch! Didn’t Mr. Kingston say? We’re all family from the village chief’s side!"
"In the future, any issue big or small in our village, just a word to CEO Kingston, and it will surely be resolved!"
"Isn’t that right? He’s the CEO of The Kingston Group, with tremendous power!"
Hearing these remarks, as a mother, Kristina Kingston was naturally displeased.
She thought these villagers were disgusting! They had no manners, speaking without considering the occasion.
Eating with their mouths full, using their hands to wipe!
When media captures this, who knows how netizens would comment, Kristina Kingston did not want people questioning her son’s taste.
This group taking photos with her son also lowered his caliber.
Since getting involved with Mia Lane, her son no longer had the aura of a CEO! Absolutely no presence!
Who knows what he will become in the future!
"Madam." Mary pondered over her thoughts, mulled over them for a while, then shared her insight, "Do you feel that Mr. Kingston has changed?"
"How could he not change?" she rolled her eyes, "Mixing with these villagers! Fulfill any request! When has he ever taken selfies with people? He hates taking photos and detests people getting close!"
Kristina Kingston felt as if her son was being taken away from her.
Mary respectfully bowed, she hesitated for a moment, "Madam, that’s not what I meant."
The middle-aged woman on the sofa was slightly stunned, focusing her gaze on her, "Then what do you mean?" She picked up the remote and turned off the TV, "Go ahead, tell me."
Anyway, those scenes on the phone were disgusting; she didn’t want to watch anymore.
Mary slightly lifted the corner of her lips, meeting her gaze, "I think after being with Miss Lane, Mr. Kingston has become more approachable."
