A Billionaire In Disguise novel Chapter 122

The hall was quiet as the wooden door opened, and everyone turned around to gaze at Catherine as she marched into the room.

Even though this was their second wedding, the moment Rome gazed at Catherine, he became emotional, and tears welled up in his eyes.

"She's perfect," Rome mumbled, wiping his tear-stained cheek with a handkerchief.

Staring at his son, Mr. Ford smirked while he thought, 'And you were against me for planning a huge wedding, instead of you and Catherine going to the court to get your names changed.'

With a look of pride in his expression, Mr. Miller stared at his son in admiration at the pure love he saw in his eyes for Catherine.

"I heard that her dress is the only one of its kind in the entire world. Also, that every jewel she's wearing is made out of diamonds." A lady mumbled to the elegant-looking woman seated beside her.

"The Barlows are lucky to have a Ford as their son-in-law." The woman replied as she enviously stared at Catherine.

"Is it good or bad luck? The last time I checked, they were ill-treating him because he was a Miller, and now that he's a Ford,"

"Right, he could destroy their family with just a few words. Isn't it funny how now the roles have shifted?"

A frown crossed Madam Rosey's face as she became annoyed at the fact that these two women dared to gossip about her family when they were right behind her.

But she couldn't do anything about it because everyone who got invited to the wedding was elite people, and they were above her family status.

When Mr. Barlow swayed his gaze to his wife and saw the growing anger in her eyes as these women continued to gossip, he glared at her, knowing what was at stake.

"Remember what I told you all before coming here, 'Do not do anything to embarrass and degrade our family reputation!" Mr. Barlow whispered with dominance in his tone.

Staring his way, Madam Rosey scowled and mumbled, "I know, but..."

"But nothing! This wedding is supposed to go smoothly for our family's sake! We don't want to get on Mr. Ford's bad side, even if we are now in-laws."

"Fine."

After gazing at his wife for a couple of seconds, he stared at the others and then realized that one person was missing.

"Why is Dash here, but not Chloe? Aren't they supposed to be here together as I requested!" Mr. Barlow asked.

"I don't know." Madam Barlow said, feeling a bit worried that her granddaughter wasn't present.

As Catherine slowly marched towards the floral arch, her eyes remained fixed on Rome with a soft smile on her lips.

Halfway down the aisle, Edward walked up to her and grinned as she held onto his arm.

Right at that moment, the door suddenly opened, and everyone gazed back, staring in shock at Chloe as she walked into the hall, wearing an elegant lace appliques V-neck backless white gown.

Seeing the kind of attention that she was getting, Chloe smirked, then faked an apologetic expression, gazed directly at Rome, and said, "I'm sorry for arriving late."

Then she stared at Catherine and sweetly uttered, "I hope you don't mind me wearing white to your wedding, dear cousin?"

Not uttering a word, Catherine took a deep breath, calmed her anger, and faced ahead of her, fixing her gaze back on Rome.

When their eyes locked and she smiled, he slowly unclenched his fist, knowing that today was her day and taking action against Chloe would ruin it.

Although Mr. Ford wanted to call security to kick Chloe out of the wedding hall at that moment, when Catherine and Rome didn't react to Chloe's behavior, he deeply inhaled to calm himself and let the matter go, at least for the time being.

After Catherine didn't show any interest in her cousin's inappropriate entrance and dress code, the musician started playing the bridal chorus, and everyone began to focus back on the wedding.

When Catherine reached Rome, he smiled at her and asked, "Are you okay?"

"Yes." Catherine calmly uttered, although she was annoyed by her cousin's behavior.

Even though Chloe expected a different reaction from her cousin, and it felt embarrassing that things didn't go as she planned, she boldly walked down the aisle and headed to her seat.

The moment she sat down, the first thing she heard was a lady saying, "Is she trying to upstage the bride, what a joke!"

'You guessed wrong. Trying to upstage my cousin when she dressed like that is something impossible.' Chloe thought, sneering as she fixed her eyes on Rome.
