Chapter 346
Simon Hemandez was taken to Marina’s father, Sam Bailey, since he last met him and his wife, Mary.
He would contact Sam every now and then to keep in touch.
As Mary did not like Simon, the latter dared not revisit Bailey’s residence.
Simon would communicate with Sam on his cell phone daily.
He even taught Sam how to play chess on his cell phone.
Hence, the Hernandez Group’s employees often noticed something about their boss during meetings.
Simon Hernandez would keep staring at his cell phone.
The curious ones took a peek and realized they were all chess games on his screen.
They were even more puzzled.
When did their CEO become an avid chess player?
Moreover, he was so into it that he neglected to sleep and eat, which affected his daily work.
Although everyone was puzzled, they did not dare to poke their noses into the matter any further.
After all, Simon Hernandez was not an ordinary man; his mind was extraordinary, to say the least.
Even though he stared at the chess game during meetings, he could instantly detect the mistakes in his staff’s reports.
Those in the meeting room dared not let their imaginations run wild and stopped speculating further.
They would lose their jobs if Simon was disappointed in their performances.
However, Marina Bailey was in the dark about the chess–playing matter.
She was by Jessica Rodriguez’s side for the past few days.
Marina was busy helping her manage the trivial matters of the wedding.
Although her aunt, Daisy, had already taken care of everything, there were other matters.
Jessica had to personally make decisions on all concerned issues.
Nevertheless, that had kept Marina busy for the past several days.
Marina thought about her own wedding in the future when she was in a daze from exhaustion. She had to leave all the matters to Simon Hernandez to handle.
Time passed in an instant.
In the blink of an eye, it was the wedding day of Jessica Rodriguez and Peter Moore.
It had been a while since the Four Families had a joyous occasion.
Peter Moore was Daisy’s only son after all.
In addition, she had been in constant contact with Jessica recently.
Daisy liked her daughter–in–law–to–be even more.
Even though the wedding event was prepared hastily, it was still extravagant by any measure.
All the notable people in Janeborough were invited.
-Reporters turned up in droves and gathered around the event site.
Daisy Bailey was someone who did not care about spectacle.
However, she had invited many reporters to the wedding event for a purpose.
It was part of her plan.
Chapter 346
Her goal was to introduce Jessica Rodriguez to the public at large.
She wanted everyone to know how pleased the Moore Family was to welcome Jessica into the family.
Meanwhile, Jessica waited in the lounge for the event to begin.
Marina stood behind her and carefully adjusted the veil on her head.
Nothing out of the ordinary should happes
“There may be a lot of reporters outside later, but don’t worry, Jessica. Aunt Daisy has already made all the arrangements. You just have to go according to the rehearsal”
Marina reminded Jessica, mindful the latter might be nervous during the event.
“I know,” said Jessica as her tense face softened.
She knew very well why Daisy had arranged for such an extravagant event.
For someone like her, who came from a humble background, to be showered with respect and fondness from a prominent family was unimaginable.
Therefore, Jessica was more than grateful.
She looked at himself and Marina in the mirror before them.
Jessica said in an uncertain tone.
“Marina, I never thought I would have so much in my life.”
“Don’t be silly! What you have now is nothing compared to what you’ll have in the future!” Marina placed her hands on Jessica’s shoulders gently.
Marina looked focused and severe.
“Can I–really?” Jessica was unsure. She had not been at ease since Peter Moore proposed to her.
She worried that it was just a dream and that she would wake up one day to nothing.
Many nights, she woke up and did not dare to go back to sleep.
She feared everything would disappear like a bubble when she woke up again.
“Of course, you can! I heard that you’re capable in the company.
“You finished all your assignments with outstanding results. Moreover, you’re blessed with a photographic memory that most people can only dream of.
“It’s a unique skill usually reserved for a female lead in a novel.
“With such a powerful skill, why are you still worried you’re not worthy of all this?” Marina sounded disheartened.
Although Jessica had become more confident during this time, she could not eliminate her inferiority complex.
Perhaps she was sheltered by the Rodriguez family for too long and became complacent.
The inferiority complex engraved in her bones would not disappear so quickly.
“You always like to coax me by saying nice things,” Jessica said. Marina’s encouragement significantly dissipated her anxiety.
“I have never lied, Jessica; you must believe in yourself. You’re the best in the world and deserve the best in return.
“In fact, Peter Moore isn’t worthy of you, not the other way around!
“He must have done some good deeds in his previous life to be fortunate to marry a good wife like you in this life!” Marina meant what she said.
In her opinion, Jessica was worthy of the best and the most decent man in the world.
Peter Moore, the young libertine, had indeed got himself a great bargain.
“Don’t say that about Peter. He’s good to me,” Jessica said slowly.

“Oh, are you defending him now? Well, as they say, daughters and dead fish are no keeping wares for sure!” Marina teased.
“Marina!” Jessica turned crimson instantly.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
The staff pushed open the door and walked in.
