lnside the banquet hall, the atmosphere had become strangely lively.
Although the bride had collapsed and the wedding had ended abruptly, very few guests had actually left.
Instead, one influential family after another approached the Gladstone family.
"Chairman Gladstone, congratulations."
"What a wonderful marriage alliance."
"From today onward, the Gladstone family will surely soar to even greater heights."
Each person wore a warm smile, but everyone present understood that those smiles hid different intentions. Some had genuinely come to congratulate them.
Some hoped to establish a closer relationship with the Gladstone family now that they were connected to the Goodman family by marriage. Even if this was true, with Kevin and Loretta out of the hall, the Gladstone family naturally stepped up to play host.
Mrs. Gladstone had a warm smile on her face, like a mother witnessing the happiest day of her child's life.
