Sean, Benson, Samuel, Paul, and the rest stood awkwardly outside.
It was Nathan and Penny's wedding today but Nathan had been arrested by the Secret Service. There wasn't a single piece of news about him.
It was bad enough that the groom wasn't there on such a big day.
But it was even awkward that there were only a few guests attending the wedding when they had previously sent out thousands of invites.
This is so embarrassing!
Ferlyn, who had always been jealous of Penny, couldn't help but sneer, "Haha. This is so humiliating. Thousands of invites were sent out, yet there aren't even a hundred guests here. I would literally die from embarrassment if this happened to me.”
Benson and Leah's faces turned ugly upon hearing Ferlyn's words.
Sean said in an annoyed voice, "Ferlyn, what nonsense are you spewing?"
"Did I say anything wrong, Grandpa?" Ferlyn retorted.
"I warned you that Nathan wasn't a good person. Now he's become a murderer! I heard that he killed the son of someone in the noble family. The Smith family is going to be in trouble one day. I think that Penny should just break off all relations with Nathan and divorce him instead of having some high-profile wedding. Marrying a murderer! How embarrassing is that!"
Benson couldn't stand her anymore and shouted, "Shut up!"
Sean clutched tightly on his walking stick and snapped, "Enough. All of you just shut up. Stop fighting."
At the same time, the receptionist outside shouted, "Owner of Mingda Corporation, Derek Harvey has arrived!"
The bloated Derek Harvey led his son, Mason, and his subordinates in suits in as they waltzed into the Smiths' residence.
Sean and the rest quickly went up to them and greeted, "President Harvey, we're honored to have you at my granddaughter's wedding!"
Derek sneered, "That's where you're wrong. I'm not here for the wedding. I'm just here to watch the excitement unfold."
What?
Sean and the rest of the Smiths were stunned.
Derek pointed at his left leg and said with a cold smile, "Do you remember when Nathan broke my leg and forced me to crawl six floors up to apologize to Penny?"
Of course we remember!
But Derek had been so respectful towards Nathan previously! Now that Nathan is arrested, he immediately turned his back against Nathan and is here to rub salt on the wound.
