Chapter 668
Sheryl smiled as Irene pointed at the expensive-looking boxes piling in the living room.
"Open them and you'll find out."
Irene came to a realization then. "You called me home for these?"
Sheryl nodded and Irene started to open the boxes.
Even as Sheryl stood nearby, her joy could hardly be disguised. Many people came in earlier and moved all these boxes in here. I wanted to get you, but you weren’t there... Honestly, just look at yourself. How many days has it only been since your surgery? You're going to be a bride, so you really should consider what you want before you do it. Do you think it's good to run around in the middle of night while your face is still covered in bandages?"
Irene smiled. "Yeah, I won't do it again."
At the same time, she opened a box to find a pair of diamond-encrusted heels.
As she raised her brow, Sheryl said, "Those would be your wedding shoes."
Irene opened another box to find a tailored gown.
There were over a hundred other boxes, all of them filled with items needed for their wedding.
It seemed that Isaac had recruited a wedding planning company, asking them to list everything they needed. He then had his people prepare all of it, handpicking them himself.
"Check them out. We still can change anything that doesn't fit," Sheryl told her.
Irene looked up to find Sheryl smiling. "One of the couriers told me that."
Still, Irene had never married or organized a wedding, so she had no idea what to prepare or what she lacked.
Tugging Sheryl's hand endearingly, she said, "Help me look through these, Mom."
Sheryl held her daughter's gaze just then. She should have been helping with preparations, but she actually did nothing.
Feeling guilty for putting Irene through so much, Sheryl decided that it was her responsibility as a mother to do what she could for Irene.
"Alright, just leave it to me." Sheryl smiled, actually very happy about that.
With that, Irene headed upstairs to sleep, since she was still very drowsy.
Meanwhile, the police had completed their investigation of the fire at the Slates' residence.
As it was a fire caused by old circuitry that shorted out, they classified it as an accident.
However, the residence was completely destroyed. It could not be repaired, let alone house anyone-they have to rebuild it from scratch.
Losses were devastating as everything was ashes.
