Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1253
“Cheers!”
The hall rumbled with excitement.
When the wedding was about to begin, there was thunderous applause from the audience. Everyone cheered, as though they were the ones who were getting married. For so long, Fabian had led a low-key life, but he was very efficient in his work. Coupled with the fact that he came from an industrious family with a large business, his network of friends and acquaintances stretched far and wide, with a few bootlickers among them.
In the reception hall, Leo could not be prouder. He told everybody who would listen that Hannah was his daughter and that soon she would take Fabian’s last name. On top of that, Fabian also had some business to negotiate with him.
Not far away, Winson glanced at the couple with a silly smile on his face. Among those in the Blackwood family, he might possibly be the only one to wish the couple a happy marriage with all sincerity.
At that point, Helen turned to Jason, her brows beetled. “Aren’t you supposed to be good at this? Why aren’t you doing anything? How useless. And you call yourself a man?”
“What do you mean ‘useless’? How am I not a man? Fabian said we’re to put everything on hold for now, at least until after the wedding,” Jason replied confidently.
“Hmph! They’re the ones getting married, not you! You should hurry up and get to the bottom of this. We don’t want any trouble at the reception,” Helen added.
“I… You…” Annoyed, Jason’s lips trembled as he stuttered, unable to formulate a proper sentence. He turned his head in the other direction, ignoring Helen. It was then that he inadvertently noticed someone eyeing viciously at the couple on the stage.
“Look! I knew that woman was suspicious! I suspect she’s the one behind all this,” Jason told Helen in all seriousness.
But Helen would not have it. She did not even glance at him. Her eyes were glued to the stage.
Tsk! Ignoring me, are you? Fine! I don’t want to be bothered with your tomboyish ways anyway!
