Harper remained in the Emerald House after the poisoning incident. Those who wanted her dead couldn't find any chance to do anything to her.
Yvonne's wedding dress had finally arrived. Prince Kevin's servants delivered the dreamy red dress. When Yvonne tried it on along with a crown of pearls on her head, her entire being glittered and moved Carrie to tears. Who would have thought that her daughter would find herself getting married in such a lovely gown and to a prince's heir no less? It was one of those things she did not let herself imagine as a concubine.
"Oh, my dear daughter! You look so beautiful in your wedding dress." Carrie couldn't help but admire Yvonne. Say anything you want about Charles and his shamelessness, but it couldn't be denied the good looks he had passed down to his daughters.
Yvonne's happiness radiated from her. As she looked at herself in the mirror, she began to realize how far she had come. She was going to marry the heir of Prince Kevin tomorrow! After tomorrow's ceremony, no one would dare insult her as the daughter of a concubine. No one would dare beat her blue and black. She was going to step up in ranks and become a member of the imperial family.
"Mother, nobody would dare step on us now!" Yvonne said excitedly. From now on, her mother's status in the Chu Clan would improve. And even better, she wouldn't have to bow down to Sue anymore. She would outrank that bitch from tomorrow.
Carrie grinned. "Prince Kevin's family still thinks highly of you. Take a look at the wedding dress, the crown and the jewelry! They all look so expensive, especially the wedding dress. It smells so good!"
Yvonne smelled the wedding dress on her body. It surely smelled nice. Prince Kevin's servants must have sprayed some kind of high-class perfume on the dress. How considerate they were!
At midnight, a number of maids were sent from the Prince Kevin's mansion to begin preparing Yvonne for her big day. Even though she wasn't of noble birth, she was carrying Hansen's child. Besides, Kate had already felt attached to the unborn child, and therefore, she treated Yvonne like a fragile glass.
Because she had begun amassing a considerable amount of money since taking over the family affairs of the Chu Clan, Carrie had some money to spare. She gave the maids who attended Yvonne some silver to give thanks for all their hard work. In turn, the maids expressed their gratitude. "Congratulations to Lady Yvonne!"
Yvonne was beside herself with joy and excitement. She couldn't believe how her life would turn out to be. Every moment felt light and magical. It felt like she was in a dream she never wanted to end.
Charles' son was not in the Chu Clan mansion. So instead, Charles himself led Yvonne out of the mansion. Watching as Charles led Yvonne, Carrie couldn't help but feel overwhelmed by emotions. Her daughter would enter Prince Kevin's mansion now! She was going to be the wife to an heir of a real prince! If she made good use of this new rank, she could wield unbelievable power within the Chu Clan.
Harper stood quietly along the sidelines, watching as servants lifted Yvonne into the bridal sedan chair. Beside them was Hansen, who was riding on a horse. A faint smile appeared on Hansen's face. Harper also caught a glance of Felicia, who was peeping at the door. Hatred distorted Felicia's face, which made Harper very happy.
