Chapter 343: First Anniversary
The wedding took place on the twentieth of May.
The Sinclair Family respects the traditions passed down by their ancestors, so they opted for a highly challenging Chinese-style wedding, meticulously recreating every detail in food, attire, and decor.
On that day, the weather was sunny and clear, a rare beautiful day. A gentle breeze slipped through the fingers, and everywhere you looked, sunlight danced around.
The Kingsford Grand Hotel.
Grandma Sinclair, the little aunt, Megan Underwood... along with partners of The Sinclair Group, all gathered at the scene.
Lily gave a handcrafted tuan shan to Nora Northwood, as in a Chinese wedding, the tuan shan is an essential element.
A circle of bright pearls around the edge elevated the sheen of the tuan shan to its peak.
The tassel dangled with Nora’s wrist movements, swaying casually, and occasionally producing a clear and pleasant sound.
She sat upright before the dressing mirror, her alabaster fingers gently adjusting the stray hairs by her temples, a clean smile gathering in her eyes.
The morning sunlight streamed through the glass window onto her bright red robe, as hot as blazing fire.
Every move of Nora Northwood exuded elegance and intelligence.
"Knock knock—" someone rapped on the room door.
The person in front of the mirror ceased her movements, her red lips gently parted: "Come in."
Grandma Sinclair entered with a beaming smile, her crow’s feet deepening into several folds.
"Grandma." Nora turned, folded her hands over her lap, and sweetly called out.
"Nora, Grandma has waited for this day for so long, that stubborn boy finally came to his senses."
The old lady’s tone seemed more excited than even the protagonists themselves.
"Jasper, after all, is your biological grandson."
"If he weren’t my biological grandson, I wouldn’t let you marry him!"
The door was slightly ajar, Annie and a few from VK entered noisily, Annie exclaimed in awe: "Bride, stand up and give us a twirl, let me see what this sky-high priced wedding gown truly looks like."
It was said that this wedding gown was crafted over a month by over a dozen people working overnight, everywhere the eye could see, it was embellished with hand-sewn embroidery.
The gown’s train cascaded in layers, stretching to three meters long, studded with hundreds of South Sea Pearls, shimmering brilliantly under the sunlight.
Nora stood quietly there, needing to do nothing, yet exuding an aura of nobility and beauty.
"It’s not that exaggerated, when you get married, you can have it too."
"I hope I can find a rich husband too," Annie intentionally wore a look of longing, although, given the Anson Family’s circumstances, there was nothing she couldn’t obtain.
The bridesmaids were ready; several small flower children followed behind Nora, holding up her train so she could proceed forward without worry.
They set out from Southwood Court directly to the estate in the suburbs.
As soon as they exited the community, flashing lights consistently illuminated Nora’s face.
Everyone wanted to witness this monumental wedding, and the media naturally wouldn’t miss such an opportunity.
Jasper Sinclair had already prepared, having dozens of bodyguards downstairs responsible for Nora’s safety and maintaining order at the scene.
"Yvonne, if there are extra red envelopes, share them with these reporters," Nora maintained her smile on the surface, and said to Yvonne Winslow who was closest to her.
To outsiders, they could only see her lips move a few times, but didn’t know what she said.
A line of monochromatic Maybachs led the way, followed by ten meters of wedding cars adorned with red floral balls, stretching so far they couldn’t be seen in their entirety.
Nora let out a long sigh; before this, no one had told her the scale of this event.
In a sudden realization, she felt caught between a rock and a hard place.
If she decided she didn’t want to go through with it, would Jasper Sinclair devour her?
There was no way out; Nora could only let herself be led forward.
