Chapter 992 Grand Wedding
Selene was lying on the ground without even the strength to prop herself up.
She shot a furious look toward Zobber, her eyes filled with deadly hatred. ” What do you want exactly?”
Zobber had been through all kinds of situations. Even though she acted all carefree and goofy most of the time, she was still one of the four leaders of the Hacker Alliance. If she couldn’t even handle a small situation like this, how could she get to where she was today?
Zobber grabbed Selene’s head and forced her to make eye contact. “I said I’ll let you off for now. Are you planning to dig your own grave?”
Her icy and fierce eyes gave Selene an eerie feeling. She was so flustered looking at Zobber. Her speech was stuttering and nervous. “What do you want exactly?”
Zobber’s tone was icy as she said, “Spill everything you know. I’ll give you a fair trial.”
Selene knew deep down that she had done too much. There was no way Zobber would let her off easily.
The best outcome for her would be to escape from here and face the law’s judgment.
She still had a chance as long as her boss was willing to keep her.
The terms offered by Zobber really got Selene excited. “You’re really gonna let me go?”
Zobber nodded without hesitation, looking very serious. “I swear, on my honor, I will never deceive you.”
This totally cracked Selene’s hesitation.
It was not that she really believed in Zobber, but she had no other choice right now.
She was counting on Branden to show up and help her out with her plea.
But she had been here for so many days and hadn’t even heard Branden’s voice, let alone seen him in person.
She was completely desperate now; the only one who could save her was herself. “Give me some time to sort things out, and I’ll give you a satisfactory answer.”
A little smirk escaped Zobber’s face. She felt a bit smug inside.
This trip turned out to be a lot easier than she had imagined. “Just take your time to think about it. Once you’ve figured it out, I’ll be here.”
With that, she left with Paxton.
After the two of them walked out of the dungeon, Zobber demanded, “I’m gonna take her away.”
“No way!” Paxton answered without hesitation.
“Hmph!” Zobber sneered coldly. “Says you.”
Paxton looked at her coldly and sternly, saying, “It is not a matter of whether I agree or not. It is simply not a rule of the Duncans.”
Zobber showed somewhat disdain, saying, “So what if the Duncans don’t have this rule? I don’t care. I’ll talk to Catherine and see if Mr. Duncan will agree or not.”
With that, she just left straight away.
Watching her walk away, Paxton’s expression looked somewhat bad. ‘Is this girl acting like she’s the boss now? However, if Catherine were to speak to Branden about this matter, it would be easily resolved with just a few words.’
Paxton sighed, thinking, ‘Love makes people blind.’
Soon, it was the day of the wedding.
The wedding was held in Casier. Even though the Duncans were now developing up in Loxton, both the Duncans’ and the Swanns’ roots were in Casier.
The whole street was filled with fancy cars.
The ones leading the way were two helicopters, each carrying a banner with blessings for the newlyweds.
Such a big deal, of course, was personally arranged by Karl.
This wedding was unprecedented and caught everyone’s attention in the whole city.
At the arranged time, a convoy of top- notch luxury cars set off from the Duncans’ to the Swanns’.
“Why are we still going around in circles?” Paxton noticed the anxious look on Branden’s face and immediately asked the driver about the situation.
The driver looked really nervous and anxious. He said, “Paxton, it was arranged by Mr. Karl himself, saying it’s to coordinate with Mrs. Catherine’s time. Going around the city once, we’ll arrive right on time.”
Once Paxton learned of the situation, he immediately reported it to Branden, “Sir, this is specially arranged by Mr. Karl to wish you and the bride a lifetime of happiness together.”
On such a joyful occasion, everyone talked about auspicious things.
Branden’s originally cold expression suddenly softened quite a bit. “Then just do what Grandpa told you to do.”
Actually, Karl just wanted the whole city to see that Branden was getting married.
His grandson finally got married and even married someone as good as Catherine. He was so happy. He was definitely making a big deal out of it.
After driving around for some time, they finally arrived at the Swanns’ house. It was the old house of the Swanns.
The yard was all set up by Vicente. As the oldest sister, Audrey decorated the entire yard very festively with the help of Mr. Theo.
The wedding convoy hadn’t even come to a stop yet. Ronin, one of the representatives from the bride’s family, immediately grabbed a bunch of firecrackers and headed out.
The firecrackers were cracking loudly. Everyone in the bride’s room knew that it meant the groom had arrived.
Zobber and Amelia were serving as bridesmaids with Catherine for the first time, and they were all a bit nervous.
Although Zobber usually had a carefree attitude, acting tough and fearless, she still got nervous about this situation.
She originally thought that no one in the world could match Catherine and even believed that Catherine might very well get married late because she couldn’t find a good enough partner.
But she never expected that Catherine would be the first one among them to get married.
It was precisely because Mr. Duncan was so good that he had the chance to marry Catherine.
“Catherine, are you nervous?” Zobber asked.
Catherine was wearing traditional clothing as her first outfit of the day. It was a long gown with flowers embroidered with golden threads all over it, super exquisite and eye- catching.
This gown alone took ten top-notch Swann Corporation craftsmen three months of overtime.
If it weren’t for Karl personally stepping in, it wouldn’t have been done this quickly.
In order to give his grandson and Catherine a grand wedding, Karl really went all out.
Hearing Zobber’s question, Catherine turned around and gave her a calm look. “Pass me the pastry beside you.”
When Zobber heard this, she immediately brought the pastries over.
Catherine was in the middle stage of pregnancy. The baby in her belly was growing really fast, and she was hungry all the time.
These desserts were prepared specifically for her. Zobber watched as she ate with such focus, and she already knew the answer. ‘Of course, Catherine is the boss. She isn’t going to be fazed by these small situations.’
The noisy sound from downstairs made the bridesmaids inside the house curious. They couldn’t help but want to go out to take a look.
Catherine could tell what they were thinking and generously said, “Just go have fun. Don’t worry about keeping me company.”
Everyone knew Catherine’s personality, and it was clear she was not faking polite.
Zobber was about to leave when she suddenly noticed something big going down. “Oh no! I haven’t had a chance to hide the wedding shoes yet. Where should I hide them?”
With the groom’s men’s intelligence, skills, and abilities, no matter where the shoes were hidden, they would probably be found very easily.
Zobber pondered for a while, which ended up delaying the matter of hiding shoes.
She hesitated for a moment, then decided to ask Catherine for help. ” Catherine, help me brainstorm, will you?”
Catherine looked over at the dressing table and said nonchalantly, “Just put it there!”
Zobber was shocked. “Just leave it out in the open like that?”
‘Isn’t it a bit too perfunctory? I know that hiding the wedding shoes is just for fun. It’s not like the groom has to carry the bride home. But we should add some more interactive fun to it,’ Zobber thought.
She hesitated and gave a quick glance at Catherine, seeing that Catherine was serious about it.
She followed Catherine’s orders and put the wedding shoes on the dressing table openly.
