Chapter 642: Chapter 621: Kidnapping the Bride

"Oh right, I forgot to mention earlier, there will be a few guests from the Orchid Kingdom at the wedding banquet tomorrow!"

When Jaysen came down, Caleb Harrison remembered, "I didn’t plan to invite them initially, but now that Madeline’s mother’s family has been cleared, they’ve come to Andras City looking for Princess Ruby Ross’s descendants. When they heard Madeline was getting married, they said they wanted to attend the wedding, so I couldn’t refuse. I should have consulted with you, but it’s just two people, and I was so busy that I forgot to inform you, so I went ahead and added them!"

Weddings usually have extra tables anyway, so adding just two people wasn’t a big deal!

"For these matters, having Dad decide is the same thing. At that time, just introduce them to us, after all, they are from Madeline’s mother’s side, so we can’t neglect them!"

Jaysen was naturally happy that Madeline’s maternal grandparents could come, and as Madeline had grown up without a mother, knowing that people from her mother’s side would attend her wedding was a happy occasion. Jaysen even specially asked Caleb about the situation on that side, and after understanding it, he left Harrison’s house and returned to the Smith’s.

Speaking of which, Caleb didn’t know why people from the Orchid Kingdom, who had almost no contact, would suddenly want to attend Madeline’s wedding. He felt somewhat puzzled. Madeline’s maternal grandmother’s family had been cleared three years after her mother’s death, and they had always known about Madeline’s existence. If they wanted to connect with relatives, they could have done so a few years ago, not on the occasion of her wedding!

Although Caleb agreed to their attendance, he still had some concerns deep down. He was unsure about the situation in the Orchid Kingdom at the moment, as there were rumors of a new power struggle. While it had nothing to do with Andras City, it was said that Princess Ruby Ross had once fled to Andras City, where she left a hidden treasure - a fortune in the history of Orchid Kingdom.

As the Orchid Kingdom was a small country, its power had been consumed by several decades of political struggles. The two heirs to the throne had been seeking financial support in addition to gaining the backing of influential people. As a result, the hidden treasure that Princess Ruby Ross had taken with her was discovered.

The key point was that there were rumors that at the time, Princess Ruby Ross had given birth to the heir in her belly. This news was unclear, but since people from the Orchid Kingdom came to Andras City, it must be true!

To be safe, Caleb prepared for everything.

The wedding was held at the Royal Court Hotel owned by Michael Gordon, the most luxurious hotel in Andras City and the dream venue for countless brides. Naturally, Jaysen Smith and Madeline Harrison were the first couple to have their wedding here.

The Royal Court Hotel was a high-end wedding hotel meticulously built by Michael Gordon. Although it was not a large-scale hotel, it covered a wide area. The key point was that this luxurious hotel, which cost a fortune to build, was not for profit, but a wedding gift from Mr. Gordon to Mrs. Gordon!

So, after its completion, it didn’t open for business right away, but when pictures of the hotel’s scenery were leaked, it caused a sensation all over the world, including people from the Orchid Kingdom!

The wedding of Jaysen Smith and Madeline Harrison also coincided with the official opening of the hotel, so this time, the wedding caught the attention of the global media!

The Smith family’s fortune and style were enough to drive the global media crazy. Although the Smith family had repeatedly announced that the wedding venue was not open to the public, how could reporters be willing to give up?

Many reporters had sneaked around the hotel the night before, trying to catch exclusive news footage.

Since Michael Gordon and Oliver Thompson were both married, the two best men candidates were gone. In the end, the role fell to Lucas Sandy. To match the bridesmaids, Alette Larson was chosen. Ivy was Madeline’s best friend. Although she couldn’t be a bridesmaid, she had to accompany Madeline on her wedding day.

In Andras City, whether it’s a wealthy family or an ordinary one, the bride needs to be picked up from her parents’ home. This is known as "snatching the bride." The groom would come with his group of best men to take the bride away, first to the groom’s house, and then to the hotel for the wedding ceremony.

Since there is snatching the bride, there must also be defending the bride. The best men would help the groom snatch the bride, while the bridesmaids would be responsible for making it difficult for the groom, not allowing them to easily take the bride away. Of course, besides the best men and bridesmaids, close friends play a crucial role.

Ivy had always been a lively person and had long been looking forward to this moment. As soon as she heard the sound of the car horn, she had someone close the door. On the bride’s side, the main force was Ivy, Lina Miller, Alette Larson, Julia Harrison, and a few of Madeline’s classmates.

On the groom’s side were Michael Gordon, Fabian Nala, Oliver Thompson, Lucas Sandy. Jaysen was low-key, but he still had many ordinary friends, so there were quite a few guests.

"Quick, Alette, guard the door! If there’s no big money gift, don’t open the door!"

Ivy originally wanted to personally guard the door, but because her belly was too big, Michael firmly forbade it, so she could only sit in front of Madeline and give orders.

"Alright, Sister Ivy, I swear not to open the door unless I see a big money gift!"

"Swear not to open the door?"

Hearing this, Madeline was horrified, "Alette, are you trying to prevent me from getting married?"

"This man is mine, so it’s not painful for you girls to make things difficult for him, but it’s painful for me! You all better be gentle and not play with my husband. If not, I’ll settle the score after the autumn!"

Ivy: "..."

"Damn, you’re a traitor who favors love over friendship! With Mr. Smith’s wealth in your family, won’t you let us sisters have some fun snatching some money gifts? I’ve seen brides in a hurry to get married, but I’ve never seen one as impatient as you!"

Ivy expressed her utmost disdain for someone who was so anxious at this moment, "Alette, don’t listen to her. Just listen to me now, block the door, and go get some big money gifts from Mr. Smith. If not, don’t open the door!"

"Oh, sure!"

Alette had always been obedient. She would do whatever Ivy asked, since she was the Boss Lady. Besides, everyone liked the idea of snatching money gifts. She considered herself poor, "Mr. Smith’s money gift must be huge. Snatching one might be equal to my annual salary. I’ll definitely try to snatch a few, so maybe I won’t have to work for a few years!"

Ivy: "..."

Such a smart girl! No wonder Lucas Sandy only had a one-sided love!

Madeline: "..."

How did she end up with such a money-loving girl? It’s her husband’s money!

Even before it started, Madeline had an image in her mind of Alette’s excitement while receiving money gifts, which shocked her!
