Actually, Carter too had not expected himself to show up with Ada in front of his friends and relatives in such a manner.
However, after considering the benefits, he had accepted Camille’s proposal.
He wanted to be the heir of St. Piaf, and to do that, he would need help from Ada’s family.
Similarly, Ada had assumed that she no longer had the chance to be the viscountess, nor had she expected Camille to reach out to her.
Ada finally found her value. At that moment, Ada, who was walking beside Carter, felt very confident.
She firmly believed that no other woman would be able to threaten her position as the viscountess.
Ada put on a thrilled and victorious smile while holding a bouquet, taking one step at a time as she elegantly made her way toward the banquet hall.
She tilted her head to look at Carter. On this night, he looked handsome and elegant, evoking a cool, refined aesthetic that tugged at Ada’s heartstrings.
She was finally able to be Carter’s wife —a dream she had since long ago.
Initially, she had thought that Shirley would emerge victorious, but it appeared that no one would be able to pose any threat to her status now.
Ada indulged in her thoughts, but she could hear the guests’ exclamations around them.
“It turns out that Carter’s marrying Ada.”
“This is rather surprising. No wonder the bride’s name was not mentioned on the invitation card.”
“Didn’t Camille say that no matter what happened, she would never let Ada marry into the Gray family?
“It seems that Ada has a few tricks up her sleeves.”
Hearing the gossip made Ada feel utterly dissatisfied.
No wonder there was not even a notice board at the entrance. It turned out that the Gray family did not even publicly announce that she was Carter’s bride.
