Jessica said indifferently, "Yes."
After a while, Jason also came in. He was going to lead Jessica into the venue.
"Today is your big day. I'm happy for you," Jason said.
Jessica looked at Jason's smirk and wanted to kick him out of the room.
But he was invited by Lambert, and she could not embarrass them.
Otherwise, they might not be able to continue the next steps.
"Thank you for coming." Jessica raised a fake smile.
Jessica put on the wedding dress. It was hard to notice that she was pregnant.
After all, it was embarrassing that she got married when she was pregnant.
Jason was no match for other people that attended the wedding today.
But he had to rely on Lambert in Birmingham. Such a big shot needed respect from others.
When Lambert returned to the church, the music was already playing.
Before the wedding ceremony started, Lambert went on stage and spoke.
He explained why Jeff didn't attend the wedding.
"Thank you all for coming to my wedding with Jessica."
"My grandfather, Jeff, was supposed to be the host of the wedding, but he was sick and couldn't come to the wedding."
"So, my mother, Vicky, will host our wedding."
People in the upper class of Birmingham knew about Lambert's mother.
They didn't expect that Lambert would ask his mother to host his wedding.
After all, Vicky did not have any status in the Williams family, except, of course, she was Lambert's mother.
There were whispers among the people sitting below the stage.
Lambert added, "I thank my mother very much. She brought me life. Without her, I could never see all the good things in this world. So here, I want to thank her in front of everyone."
Vicky did not expect that although Lambert was cold to her, he still attached great importance to her at the crucial moment.
Tears streamed down her face.
Lambert said other words of thankfulness and invited Vicky to come on stage to express her feelings.
Vicky was dressed well today and sat in the front seat.
That was supposed to be Jeff's seat.
When she stood up from that seat, other people understood that Lambert was taking the opportunity to clear his mother's name.
In this way, no one could underestimate her in the upper-class social circle of Birmingham.
Lambert, of course, was thinking about his reputation. He couldn't let anyone else despise him, saying that he was just an illegitimate child.
Vicky went on stage and took Lambert's microphone, her hands trembling.
Perhaps it was because she had not had any formal social contact for a long time, and the people sitting under the stage were either rich or noble.
She was apprehensive.
However, this was a rare opportunity. She had to say what she had suppressed for so many years.
She had always felt aggrieved. At one time, she thought that no one understood her and would call her a homewrecker.
Today, she wanted to clear her name.
Vicky forced a smile and said, "Thank you, everyone, for taking the time to attend my son's wedding."
At first, her voice was trembling.
