Love at the Wrong Table - Season 3 Episode 76

Before the wedding started, the relatives from both sides chatted while

sticking to their respective families.

The Oatleys were a big family since Jaxton’s father Sebastian had plenty of

brothers, which caused the members of the family to total up to more than

fifty people. Many of them had been drawn into a grand room where a

woman covered in jewelry was currently showing off.

“Since you have all found out about it, I’m not going to keep it a secret

anymore. This was carved by Mr. Thomas Cline and is his best work!”

The woman was Selina and was Jaxton’s cousin. She was merely 27 years

old, yet she displayed her wealth most proudly out of everyone in the family,

even surpassing her cousin Jessica.

“Is that the golden jade phoenix?”

“I’ve heard of it too! A mysterious wealthy man acquired it at an auction

some time ago with a price of 200 million!”

“I didn’t think she would possess it. Who exactly is that rich man? Is he

pursuing Selina?”

There were plenty of Oatley family relatives, and many of them were eager

to associate themselves with power. This wasn’t a fictional setting after all

since many of them were common folk. They would definitely be envious of

someone wearing a necklace worth 30 million and desire to get close to her.

Meanwhile, Jamison wandered around the hotel. It had been his idea to let

the Cadigan family attend the banquet today; where was the fun in a

wedding party with just a sit–down dinner where they had to give the couple

wedding gifts? Of course, they had to come to the banquet organized by the

groom’s family, since they didn’t have to pay for anything and could

shamelessly eat anything for free. It was the best!

Seeing the commotion inside the room, he went toward the entrance to look

inside. His knees nearly buckled at the mention of a necklace worth 30 million

and he immediately craned his neck, trying to see what it looked like.

“Hello! Are you talking about me?”

Another man was about to enter the room as well, looking highly ostentatious

with two professional bodyguards shadowing him as he pushed Jamison

mercilessly to one side. Anyone who didn’t know better would have thought

the newcomer was the groom due to his expensive suit and exquisite style.

“Everyone, allow me to introduce him. This is my boyfriend, Isaac Lane. He’s

the one that gifted the golden jade phoenix to me!” Selina held his arm tightly

as she proudly showed him off to everyone.

“Ah, Isaac Lane. Is he the heir to the Lanes, one of Yeringham’s four most

prominent families?”

“I think he’s also the direct heir. It’s no wonder that he’s so wealthy!”

“No matter how rich he is, it must be true love if he gifted his girlfriend with a

necklace worth 30 million!”

Everyone began to chatter among themselves.

Selina was delighted by the enormous amount of attention she got and met

Jessica’s eyes from time to time.

Jessica didn’t look happy, naturally. She knew that Selina had deliberately

stolen everyone’s attention today. After all, Jessica had driven the sports car

gifted by her husband to attend Selina’s birthday party and ended up

stealing the spotlight from the latter. This was purposeful revenge on Selina’s

part!

Jessica hadn’t expected that Selina had managed to win over the heir to the

Lanes who generously gifted her with a necklace that cost 30 million.

Completely at a loss of what to say, Jessica had no choice but to watch

Selina preen.

Besides, Sebastian Oatley and his son had come here just to chat with Isaac

after knowing about his presence. Social connections were extremely

important to businessmen like them, and it didn’t matter if the honor of being

one of the four prominent families in Yeringham was useful or not. Isaac was

still the definite third–generation heir to the Lanes and had begun taking over

many parts of the family business. So, the Oatleys had to build a close

relationship with him. As a result, Isaac Lane’s reputation became more

prominent and he even stole the spotlight momentarily from the groom

himself.

Jamison quietly witnessed the entire scene from the entrance, eyes focused

on Selina’s chest. Besides the fact that she had an excellent bust, the golden

jade phoenix was far too attention–grabbing. It was worth 30 million after all.
