Chapter 409 Remarriage
The Browns were truly extravagant for holding this banquet; it was fair to say they were spending money like water.
Lucius had rented out the entire hotel for the occasion. The lavish decorations made the place feel as grand as a wedding celebration itself.
After exchanging pleasantries with those at the entrance, Seraphina slipped her arm through Justin’s as they entered.
Just inside, a wedding photo of Lucius and his bride was displayed prominently.
They wore elegant white attire, Lucius looking particularly radiant, his eyes sparkling with unmistakable joy.
The bride’s name was Lila Everhart. She was undeniably beautiful, embodying a gentle and sweet appearance. However, her smile seemed somewhat forced, perhaps due to the photographer’s less than stellar skills.
Seraphina hadn’t heard much about this bride before; the Everharts seemed to lack any notable background, though they were on good terms with Lucius’s grandfather.
Justin sighed as he gazed at the photo, shaking his head slowly.
“Lila married Lucius when her family was on the brink of bankruptcy. After marrying him, they went completely broke.”
Seraphina was taken aback, almost doubting her own ears.
Weren’t such marriages typically meant to help struggling families?
How could Lucius’s alliance have turned out so poorly?
With a soft chuckle, Justin lowered his voice and explained, “Lucius went to great lengths to get a divorce, but his father kept everything hidden from Lila. Once she found out, the divorce went through smoothly. Who would have thought there would come a day for remarriage?”
Seraphina rolled her eyes in disbelief; the drama of it all was astounding. Poor Lila has truly drawn the short straw!
Standing at the entrance, the bride and groom greeted the guests. Lucius grinned from ear to ear.
In contrast, Lila offered a more subdued smile, her arm linked with his, appearing to fit well together as a couple.
They looked as though there was not a shred of resentment between them, presenting an image of calm happiness.
“Seraphina and Justin, welcome!” Lucius called out, extending his hand.
Justin shook his hand with a grin, quickly adopting a facade of ignorance. “Congratulations! What wonderful news! You two look incredibly well–matched”

Lila glanced up at Justin, her smile gentle but saying nothing.
Seraphina, however, nodded in acknowledgment and smiled back.
She was here purely for networking purposes, not just for the spectacle.

Behind her, Orion approached, casting a warm smile in Seraphina’s direction before patting Lucius on the shoulder. “Congratulations.”
