Chapter 48 During The Wedding
At that moment, Susan felt the gazes that fell on her solidifying. Since she was unable to free herself, she gave up struggling. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
Susan would rather plant her face into Julian's chest. That way, no one would be able to see her!
Feeling the woman nestling like a kitten in his arms, Julian’s mouth could not help break into a faint smile.
"Mr. Shaw, can we ask you a few questions now?" a reporter asked cautiously.
Julian was in a good mood, so he waved. "Ask away."
The reporters instantly went crazy.
"Were you secretly involved with Cheryl Young?"
"What's your view on social media influencer Linda West's sudden 5kg weight loss after you broke up with her?"
"Is the woman in your arms your new girlfriend?"
"Chairman Shaw, how long do you think you will be in a relationship with this woman?”
The questions were like raining missiles.
Susan did not want to lift her head which was buried i n Julian's embrace.
He smiled deeply and an unpredictable flash appeared in his eyes. "I don't want to answer the other questions, but the question about how long can this relationship last, I can answer that."
The microphones were instantly pushed into his face.
Julian’s lips curled up as he said, "For a lifetime. As long as the woman in my embrace is willing, I'll be in a relationship with her for the rest of my life."
A lifetime?
A lifetime!
Susan, who was leaning on Julian, could feel his solid heartbeat and her face could not help blushing.
However, her rationale took over.
'Julian is just joking. He has an important woman in his heart and that woman isn't me. But why...' 1
Although she knew about all these, when she heard about a lifetime, her heart rate could not help increasing.
The reporters were in awe. Playboy Julian Shaw had one rule: a girlfriend would not last more than a week.
Yet now, he was saying he would be with this person for a lifetime?
Was the playboy going to change his ways?
Who was the woman in his embrace that could tame a devil like Julian Shaw!?
Charlotte sulked terribly. 'Susan Shelby, what capabilities do you even have!?'
She did not believe that Julian liked this woman. 'Or maybe, he’s just playing the fool. Even if Julian really liked her, there’s still Madam Shaw. She is very displeased with her daughter-in-law. There must be some reason that she tolerates her. Sooner or later, I'll unravel all the secrets, then Susan Shelby can piss off! The title of Mrs. Shaw will be mine.'
"Charlotte, what's the issue?” Madam Jenkins walked over with a frown. “Luke and Mandy are walking out soon. What are these reporters doing here?”
She had been busy with the newlyweds just now.
After that, she came out and saw the reporters that she had invited gathered around.
Madam Jenkins was instantly unhappy. After all, she had invited the reporters to publicize this wedding.
Today was the union of the Jenkins and the Ainsleys. How could anyone else snatch the limelight!?
"Mom, it's Julian Shaw." Charlotte’s eyes flashed with a trace of dissatisfaction, then she added, "and his partner."
"Julian Shaw?” Before Madam Jenkins could say anything, Mr. Jenkins was already smiling. "Is he really here to attend the wedding? That's great! I have a plan and thought of collaborating with the Shaw family. I'll-"
"You..." Madam Jenkins got ahold of him."You must wait for the ceremony to end if you want to talk business! They are going to exchange their vows soon."
"Oh." Mr. Jenkins suppressed the urge to dash forward while Madam Jenkins gritted her teeth and was unhappy.
If anyone else stole the limelight from the Jenkins and the Ainsleys, she would never let that person go easily. However, it was Julian, so she could not do anything about it. The coalition between their families would never be a match for the Shaw family even if it was multiplied by 10.
'Forget it. These reporters will know what to do when the newlyweds step out!’
At that moment, a car decorated with flowers was slowly driven in. Madam Jenkins smiled subconsciously as Luke and Mandy came out. Supposedly, the reporters should start shooting away with questions!
However, when Madam Jenkins turned to look, she sulked incessantly. That group of people was still surrounding Julian and not moving away.
"Chairman Shaw, based on what you just said, does that mean there will be good news soon?"
"Chairman Shaw, then...."
The reporters were still wildly asking away.
Julian raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "I'm afraid that I'm not the main character today."
The reporters froze for a moment before they reacted. Indeed, today was the union between the Jenkins and the Ainsleys. Their main mission was to broadcast the wedding live.
Nevertheless...
Luke Jenkins could not be compared to Julian Shaw.
The news of Luke's wedding could never draw as much attention to the news that Julian had just broken.
Although they wanted to continue interviewing Julian, it was Luke and Mandy's wedding after all, so the uninterested reporters turned their cameras towards the wedding car.
Madam Jenkins looked better now, but she was still seething.
For the sake of this alliance, she had begun making various propaganda in the newspapers a few months ago. When the wedding drew near, she sent out the news every day. She wanted to use the
wedding to show the world that the union between the Jenkins and the Ainsleys, the financial magnates of the country, was definitely a powerful alliance.
She had done so much preparation!
Nonetheless, Julian just used a woman and a single sentence to steal the limelight. Furthermore, she could not exact her revenge because that person was Julian Shaw.
'Forget it. Everything will go as planned from now,' Madam Jenkins consoled herself.
Mandy did not know what was happening, and she was full of smiles since morning. She had worked hard for a very, very long time, and today, her wish was finally coming true. She would be Luke’s wife!
Her body shook the moment she thought about that.
Compared to Mandy's joy, Luke was extraordinarily calm.
Everyone from the Jenkins and the Ainsleys looked forward to the wedding-everyone but himself.
He was standing there only to meet the expectations o f the two families. It was only to fulfill the promise he had made to Mandy. Tragically, he did not feel anything about it.
Once they got out of the car, Luke held Mandy as both of them walked down the red carpet slowly.
Lights flashed and everyone’s eyes zoomed in to them as they were the focal point at that very moment.
