A Whirlwind Marriage with the Beautiful CEO novel Chapter 269

Chapter 269 

On the other hand, Benny and his family, who normally act with an air of 

superiority, knew that the Oatley family was well–off from their luxurious 

clothes and Jessica’s bejeweled appearance. Therefore, they did not muster 

the nerve to offend them. 

Nevertheless, Roselynn immediately lost her temper and stomped over in her 

high heels. “Do you think 30 thousand is a lot for a dowry? That’s for my mom, 

so it doesn’t include the fee for the wedding banquet!” 

Instantaneously, Jessica’s face flushed red, and she jabbed a finger toward 

Roselynn. 

After seeing that, Jaxton hurriedly held his sister back, not because he was on 

the Lowe family’s side, but because Roselynn was just too beautiful. Besides, 

he knew his wife’s temper well and feared that she would return the dowry 

and refuse to marry him if offended, so he decided to defend her. After all, he 

was well aware of the number of suitors she had in the past. 

“Hmph, fine, you can take your time! We’ll wait for you to finish and pick up 

the bride later!” Jessica eventually relented and let Roselynn off the hook. 

When you become part of our family, I’ll have all the time to teach you a 

lesson! 

“I’m sorry. We didn’t put enough thought into today’s events. Please forgive 

us!” Alessandra quickly expressed her regrets to the groom and his family. 

On the other hand, Ryder felt bad for Roselynn and her family, so he pushed 

Abellyn out the door to keep their personal problems from spilling over into 

their wedding celebration. 

Nevertheless, Mackenzie and Claudette silently watched the commotion 

from the kitchen. Due to the Oatley family’s haughty demeanor, neither 

believed that Roselynn’s position in the family would be anywhere near the 

top once she married Jaxton. 

At that moment, Emmanuel had a lot on his plate, but nobody was around to 

help him in the kitchen because they were all too preoccupied with the 

argument or the commotion. Hence, he had no spare time to care about 

what was happening outside. After finishing the preparations with much 

difficulty, their relatives and friends arrived, and the banquet officially 

commenced. It was then that he was called to the main hall. According to 

tradition, the groom’s sibling was required to prepare a monetary gift for the 

bride’s younger brother before taking the bride home. 

At this point, Jaxton and Jessica were already seated in the main hall, where 

she was sitting with an air of superiority befitting a queen on her throne. 

“Manny, where’s your wife?” Alessandra inquired when she couldn’t find 

Mackenzie. After all, Jaxton and Jessica were to present the couple with their 

monetary gifts. 

“Mackenzie just so happens to be busy. Should I accept her gift on her 

behalf?” Since he wanted his sister’s birthday to be a happy occasion, he 

swallowed his pride and told his mother a white lie. He knew his wife would 

not come out with him with that personality of hers to serve her brother and 

sister–in–law tea in exchange for money. 

Despite this, his mother was also aware of her daughter–in–law’s personality, 

so she did not force her to show up either. 

“Hmph, she doesn’t even want money? Then, no!” Jessica scoffed. 

Everyone at the scene thought that her behavior was selfish. Why couldn’t 

she spare some money when both families were already relatives? Was she 

planning to give them a hefty gift? 

However, Emmanuel was unphased. It’s not a big deal if they don’t give us 

anything. The Oatley family might be wealthy, but my wife isn’t poor either!
