Reuniting after a long time, Lamont was very happy. At dinner, he even took a picture with me and posted it on social media.
The caption read: [Long time no see, the most important person in my life.]
During the conversation, he talked about how he had grown the company over the years and how he had become the richest man in the area.
He also mentioned that he had found me the perfect daughter-in-law, someone I would surely love when we met.
Seeing that Lamont had matured and become successful, I felt gratified.
At the same time, I was filled with anticipation for the daughter-in-law Lamont had praised so highly.
I planned to choose a gift for her carefully.
On the wedding day, I came to the jewelry store early.
I had just bought a necklace worth thirty million dollars when suddenly a commotion broke out outside.
"This is outrageous! It's my wedding day, and that wretch dares to seduce my husband at a time like this? Is she trying to ruin my wedding?"
"Everyone knows how much Mr. Hayden loves you, and that little mistress dares to interfere on such an important day. She's provoking you!"
"Exactly. I think she's eyeing the position of the richest man's wife. We must set an example this time and show those shameless women that the wife of the richest man is not to be trifled with!"
Soon, a crowd gathered outside. Feeling puzzled, I asked the sales associate what was going on.
She replied, "I heard that the richest man, Mr. Hayden, has a mistress, and that mistress is brazenly challenging his fiancee on his wedding day. Now, his fiancee Juliet is leading her bridesmaids to confront the mistress!"
Hearing this, I frowned slightly.
I had seen photos of Juliet, and she indeed looked sweet and innocent.
Lamont had also spent the entire evening yesterday talking endlessly about her virtues.
Unconsciously, I had grown to like her.
So, I immediately called Lamont, "Lamont, today is your wedding day. How could you be out there with a mistress? Is this fair to Juliet?"
Lamont was utterly shocked. "Mistress? What mistress?"
"Don't play dumb with me! Juliet is on her way to deal with that mistress. Let me tell you, we won't allow any homewreckers into this family. And Juliet is a good girl. If you dare to do anything to betray her, I won't let you off."
After hanging up, I saw Juliet and her group of bridesmaids heading toward me.
