Chapter 873 No Good Intentions
The bride and groom got out of the car once they arrived at the hotel, and the bride was led to the dressing room upstairs, where the rest of the staff would get her ready for the official ceremony that night.
The lobby area was packed with many well-known individuals—all of them had shown up since the Murrays were a respectable and influential family.
The Oberlins were a part of the crowd as well. They were still gloating over how they had managed to cancel the wedding—they thought they were fortunate to have gotten themselves out of a bad deal. Jane looked—as always—like an arrogant peacock amidst the rest of the guests.
She was dressed in a white satin gown that could be easily mistaken for being a wedding dress. This was intentional—she had dressed in such a manner to pressure the bride who was getting married that day.
“Have you guys heard? The bride is from Astoria, and I heard that she came from the mountains. She even got married once before this!” One of the female guests placed her hand over her lips as she let out an awkward giggle.
Jane giggled along with her. “How could a man like Jason get married to a good woman? He can’t even become the heir of his own family’s business.”
“That’s true. But the Murrays have a really huge company. He’s probably rich even if he isn’t the heir of the company—how could he end up getting married to a secondhand woman who used to have another husband?” the female guest replied.
“Exactly. Jason’s a handsome man; I don’t think that girl is a good match for him,” someone else added.
“Well, the old lady from the Murray Family is about to die soon, so this wedding was organized just to please her. However, I’m not sure if the wedding’s done to fulfill her final wish before her death, or if it’s an attempt to cure the old lady’s illness. I’m sure you guys didn’t know this, did you?” Jane scoffed. She was glad that she wasn’t the one getting married to Jason.
“That woman from the mountains is really nothing in comparison to you, Princess Jane. She doesn’t even qualify as your maid! Poor Jason,” the female guest commented.
