Chapter 330: 309, I heard that you’re dating Mr. Smith?
She had listened to her sister’s instructions and remembered to pay careful attention when receiving the money gift from Sienna Harrison, before continuing with the festivities. But when she felt just a single piece of paper inside, she didn’t anticipate that it would be a check. She had only heard of people giving cards at weddings, so she didn’t give it much thought at the time. At this moment, she was simply stunned.
"Five hundred thousand, oh my God! How could it be so much money?"
Faced with such an uninformed and unsophisticated opponent, Ivy Aretha felt immediately bored. They didn’t need to say anything else. Judging from the look on everyone’s faces around them, this was a massive splurge!
"Susannah, give the check back to Miss Harrison!" Theo Scott’s face turned dark. He knew his bride was a bit greedy, but she was only accustomed to poverty. There was nothing wrong with wanting more money. However, seeing her behavior right now broadened his horizons. It’s a good thing his significant business partners haven’t arrived at the wedding yet. If they had seen this, his business reputation would’ve been ruined!
He had organized such a high-profile wedding, partly because of his wife’s request and partly because he recently got promoted to Vice President of Sales. Consequently, all the company’s major clients were now under his control. Building a good relationship with these clients and then going solo would be the first step to increase his network resources. And attending his wedding would be the perfect opportunity for them to connect. Naturally, everyone would be able to attend!
If that were the case, he couldn’t afford to risk the wedding. For him, this wedding was a substantial investment!
He planned on having his company in the future, so working for someone else was temporary. Now, any opportunity he gets, he needs to grab, starting by securing client relationships and networks. Those were the foundations for a man’s career!
What was supposed to be a win-win situation almost got ruined by his ignorant wife and her younger sister!
"Brother-in-law, are you crazy? What are you talking about? This is the gift money Miss Harrison herself gave us. We didn’t ask for it!"
What a joke! With such a large sum of money, many people couldn’t get this amount even if they robbed a bank or sold their daughter. But when someone could offer this amount so easily, wasn’t it like winning the lottery? Yes, exactly five hundred thousand, no more no less!
"Yes, I think Susannah is right. Returning the gift money that people gave us in such a scene, what does that mean?"
To Ivy Aretha’s surprise, even the bride agreed, implying that she was good with collecting the money. She had seen thick-skinned people before, but she had never seen anyone this shameless!
Theo Scott, who had married such an outrageous woman, originally resentful of him abandoning Sienna Harrison, suddenly felt grateful. A man who was willing to marry such a woman clearly showed his lack of judgement!
As the saying goes, "like attracts like!"
Looking at Theo Scott’s face, it was evident he’s about to explode with anger!
Indeed, he had ruined his own wedding badly!
Theo Scott, with a stern face, briskly snatched the check from Susannah’s hand and shoved it back into Sienna Harrison’s: "I can’t accept this money. Today’s incident was due to my wife’s misconduct. I apologize to you on her behalf!"
After this farce, even if Theo Scott was dense, he would understand that his wife had caused all this trouble!
But no matter what, the fact was he had left Sienna Harrison first, regardless of the reason!
Just then, one of Theo Scott’s close friends saw this scene, quickly dispersed the crowd of guests. After all, this was the most face-loss situation. At least Theo Scott managed to return the money gift!
Otherwise, if the bride tried to take it back in a while and people saw that, it would be a real joke!
"Okay, I’ve received your apology and forgiven you!" Sienna Harrison gave a self-deprecating laugh, then handed the check back to him. "I’ve never taken back anything I’ve given away in my life. Not even a man thrown away, let alone money. Keep it. Since you invited me to your wedding, I can’t come empty-handed. Five hundred thousand means as much to me as five hundred. It’s just a money gift after all. Take it!"
After the farce had ended, Sienna Harrison no longer felt angry. Seeing Theo Scott’s wife and her intellectually equivalent sister stage this embarrassing scene, she now had no desire to retaliate!
The fact that Theo Scott had married such a classless woman proved that after nearly six years of careful love, she had promptly dumped him. Therefore, it could only be said that Sienna Harrison lacked charm and didn’t know how to keep a man’s heart, and it had nothing to do with the other party!
"Madeline..."
Of course, Theo Scott knew Madeline’s temper. Now that she had said this, she definitely wouldn’t accept those five hundred thousand again. If he wanted to return it, he could find an opportunity in the future!
With his words half-spoken, Theo Scott handed the check to the bride: "The wedding hasn’t started yet. Why don’t you take Ivy to the lounge for a while? I have a few words to say to Miss Harrison."
The bride wanted to say something but seeing the five hundred thousand check in her hand, she was afraid of irritating her husband. What if he took back the five hundred thousand and returned it to Sienna Harrison?
It’s just a chat anyway, and considering they had broken up after six years together, what worse could happen? If it wasn’t for her invitation, he wouldn’t have even thought of Sienna Harrison!
Assuming that if something bad was to happen, it would have happened by now. With this in mind, the bride quickly tucked away the check and took Ivy to the lounge. Ivy gave her a glance, and only after receiving her consent did Ivy follow the bride to the lounge.
Even Ivy Aretha hadn’t expected things to reverse this amazingly. She thought they might have a big fight, but the other party just looked at the five hundred thousand check and turned into a fool immediately!
The crowd all left, leaving just the two of them at a close distance. Once lovers, he was now the groom. The atmosphere turned awkward instantly. Just a few steps towards the lounge, Theo Scott awkwardly broke the silence: "I heard your father is pressuring you into blind dates, and you’ve been interacting with Mr. Smith recently?"
"Worrying about your ex-girlfriend’s affairs doesn’t seem like something you should be doing right now!"
Sienna Harrison shot him a glance, then scoffed at herself, "Relax. I was just dumped by you. I’m not to the point of being disgusted by all men because of one rejection. If there’s a suitable potential partner, I’ll still marry. Save your guilt trip for someone else!"
"Madeline, you know that’s not what I meant!" Theo Scott looked deeply into her eyes, his face becoming more and more desolate. Deep down, a feeling of pain surged, but there were some things he dared not say. "What I wanted to say is, if you’re really in a relationship with Jaysen Smith, you need to be cautious. He’s a very scheming person, and you’re too innocent... "
