Chapter 443
The reception was held at the rooftop bar of Majesty Hotel.
The skyscrapers looked stunning under the starry skies.
Sherry wore a bespoke long dress, looking elegant and arrogant like a peacock.Her flamboyance dazzled all the guests.
"The Summer family is going to hog tonight's limelight.I heard that their recent scandal had been quelled.Edgar will also be present tonight.Perhaps he's going to clarify his relationship with the Summer family."
"I can't believe the Reece family and Edgar's ex-wife lost it to the daughter of Summer family."
"Mr.Royden has made a smart move.The Royden family is in crisis.He will have a leg-up with Pinnacle Group if he marries Sherry, the Summer family's daughter.After this, nobody will have the audacity to contend against Royden Group."
Edgar's decision to marry Sherry might seem like a perfect decision to the public.
Edgar was ushered in by envious gazes as he entered the hotel lobby.
Two influential and leading organizations would join forces tonight.It was an honor to be able to witness such a memorable moment.
"He's here! He's here!"
"Mr.Royden is on his way here."
Sherry put down her champagne and gracefully waited for Edgar when she was informed of his arrival.
When Edgar emerged from the elevator, she quickly put on her demure and delicate fagade and walked up to the man.She uttered softly, "Thank you for coming."
Immediately, the media who were present at the reception rushed up and captured their photos.
Edgar and Sherry stood side by side, looking at each other.
They looked great as a couple.
The way Sherry looked at Edgar was exceptionally loving and tender.
Their photos together would undoubtedly make tomorrow's news a highlight.
The reporters were busy taking their photos.
Meanwhile, Edgar shifted his gaze away from Sherry and said nonchalantly, "Please don't overthink, Ms.Summer.This is just a partnership."
Edgar's words caught Sherry off guard.But due to her image and the circumstance, she took the initiative to hold his arm.
"My parents have been waiting for you for a long time.Let's go in"
She attempted to alleviate the awkwardness between them with intimacy.
People with keen eyes would be able to tell that Edgar had no feelings for her.So, what? Sherry didn't care as long as she could become Mrs.Royden.
Sherry thought she had everything in control.
She ambled gracefully, deliberately leaning towards the man, and whispered to him, "Jean will be here with Mr.Mason tonight.I believe Mr.Royden will assume your role with great effort tonight"
As expected, Edgar was startled.He looked sullen and threatened, "Do you have any idea about the jail sentence for abetting illegal immigration?"
"How would I know about that?"
Sherry feigned an innocent look, "She is alive and well right now.There is no evidence to prove that I am the abettor, no? Because that time, I was lying in the room downstairs and being abused by you"
She looked at Edgar and straightened his collar with a smile on her face, "I know you love Jean, and you are willing to do anything for her.I believe you're here to dump me.After that, you'll pursue her again."
She smiled indifferently, "You won't be able to do that to me because I'm not a fool like Gigi"
"Sherry, Mr.Royden, come over and sit here."
Mrs.Summer hollered them.
The two turned and looked at Mrs.Summer inadvertently.
The man bore a cold face, and the woman wore a wry smile.
"Why are you looking so gloomy? Do you think she will come and crash our reception and elope with you? I am a woman too.I'll never forgive you If I knew you were having sex with another woman when I was in danger.So, wait and see.Jean will be here to give you the final blow."
