Willow stood in awe as she had never seen such extravagance before. It allowed her to understand what it truly meant to be in the elite social circle. The stark contrast to her previous illusions about the Tanner family’s status left her feeling insignificant and humbled.
Meanwhile, William and his family had also arrived at the venue. As soon as he noticed Caleb and his family, he went over to greet them.
Despite everything, they were still Sophie’s family. It was important to be respectful.
“Please, come in and take a seat! Sophie and the others will join us shortly. Let us take our seats.” William graciously guided them to the main table. It was a gesture that emphasized their importance.
Morgan hesitated to sit when he saw the reserved spot was at the main table. As a mere servant, he felt it inappropriate for him to occupy such a position of prominence.
“Mr. Tanner, I’ll sit over there instead. I don’t think it’s appropriate for me to sit here,” he whispered.
Charmaine chose to remain silent, but deep down, she shared the same sentiment as Morgan, She didn’t think it was appropriate for the butler to occupy such an important seat.
However, Caleb shook his head.
“Morgan, Sophie must want you to sit here. You represent Grandpa,” he insisted, fully aware of his sister’s deep respect for Josiah.
The butler didn’t argue further and accepted the decision.
*Please make yourself comfortable here. I need to attend to the other guests,” said William.
As one of the top aristocratic families in the city, the Lombards had drawn the attention of all the influential individuals in Jipsdale, who had come together to celebrate this momentous occasion.
As the patriarch of the Lombard family, William had many things to attend to.
When Lincoln saw his father reappearing again, he urged, “Dad, age is catching up on you. I’ll take care of everything here. Please take a rest.”
William waved his hand dismissively and said, “I’m fine, Lincoln. I’m so happy today! Tristan is finally getting married!”
Lincoln supported his father to a nearby resting area.
“All right, Dad. I know you are overjoyed, but you should be mindful of your health. Otherwise, how are you going to see your grandchildren in the future?” Now that Tristan and Sophie were married, it wouldn’t be long before they had a child.
William’s smile widened as he assured, “All right. Don’t worry. I know what I’m doing”
“Good that you know
Just then, Sarah arrived and informed. “Dad, the president has arrived. You should personally greet him”
Given the rarity of the president attending social occasions, it was only fining for William to personally receive the esteemed guest. The others could focus on greeting the remaining attendees
“The president? Why is he here?” William asked, his curiosity piqued. Although he had handed over a national treasure to the government, it seemed unlikely that the president would attend his son’s wedding just because of that.
“It’s because of Sophie.” Lincoln had insider knowledge because of his involvement in politics.
The Lombard family was indeed lucky to have her.
“Ah, I see. That makes sense.” No matter how accomplished Tristan was, being a businessman alone doesn’t warrant the personal attendance of the president.
However, it would be an entirely different matter if the president attended the wedding because of Sophie. She was a member of the Chanacan Medical Association and played a crucial role in the virus incident.
It made sense for the president to show up.
“All right, Sarah, stay here and take care of the guests. Lincoln and I will greet the president,” William instructed.
As a politician, Lincoln should leverage this opportunity to leave a positive impression on the president.
