After all, everyone invited here were classmates of their families who had been doing well for themselves.Forget a two grand suit—even wearing a twenty grand suit would be embarrassing here and an insult to the hosts."Tut, tut… I didn't think that someone as bright and beautiful as Gina's daughter would get herself such a cheap husband.""Yeah, and she's so successful, but she had to get herself a gigolo!"Gina turned pale right then, while Helen was embarrassed too.Walking up to Frank, she asked under her breath, "I told you to get a better suit, Frank. You know my mom, and… Urgh…"Frank was frustrated when he saw Helen's disappointment too.He certainly would not try to embarrass Gina and Helen given the occasion and had ordered a tailored suit at one of Gene Pearce's expensive boutiques.If anything, this was the most expensive suit he had ever worn, and it cost 800 grand just as Ilsa said earlier. He even paid an additional 200 grand as a tip to have it delivered early,

It was supposed to be an occasion for Frank and Gina to mend things, only for it to turn out like this."You heard your mother-in-law, brat. Quit hanging around and embarrassing her further already."Theo sneered at Frank in contempt before turning toward Helen with a twinkle of obsession in his eyes. "Ms. Lane, you're as beautiful as you are successful, owning a big company like Lanecorp. You can have any man you like, so why would you pick someone like him?" "Just give up on him already—he's not just going to embarrass you, but he'd soon be dragging down Lanecorp's progress and reputation with him."Then, whipping out a business card and shoving it into Helen's hand, Theo flashed a gentlemanly smile as he continued, "You can call me anytime if you need me, Ms. Lane. I'd even consider the possibility of jumping ship to work for someone as talented and as successful as you."And with that, Theo and his mother Ilsa Mendy strode off triumphantly, leaving Helen standing there holdin

Hence, as everyone looked on, Jaden audibly kowtowed thrice before Frank and took the Jade Marrow Pill with a look of gratitude.As soon as it went down his throat, it turned into pure life essence flowing down Jaden's gullet.Jaden's pupils dilated even as he felt the life essence of the body unfurling in his body, and his body cracked audibly even before he cultivated it.It was a sound that delighted Jaden instead of causing a panic, as it was the sound of his meridians remodeling themselves, while his meridian nexus regenerated and expanded.In fact, he seemed to hear splashing as if from a waterfall, and his withered meridian nexus was suddenly filled with liquid pure vigor.It soon flowed throughout his meridians, repairing his wounded body and organs."What is this pill…"Jaden was astounded—his cheeks were pale and he felt exceedingly tired earlier, but his body was suddenly light and his cheeks were a healthy red.He stared blankly at his hands just then, euphoric as h

With his suit taken away, Frank only had a white shirt on, which was quite an awkward sight.Jaden saw that too and nodded. "In that case, I'll be inside, Master Lawrence. Just give me a shout if the Clarkes bother you again.""Sure." Frank nodded.He watched as Jaden strode into the wedding hall spiritedly, with the rich and important individuals of Norsedam in tow.When they were gone, he breathed a sigh of relief.Noticing that there were less stares fixed on him, he headed to the buffet outside the wedding hall, picking up some delicacies and began eating at a corner.All he had to do now was to wait for Trevor Zurich and his new suit.-Meanwhile, within the enormous wedding hall, the rich and important individuals of Norsedam were standing around, mingling in groups since the wedding ceremony had yet to begin.Someone exclaimed just then, "Oh, that dress is just so beautiful! It matches Helen perfectly!""Exactly. If only my daughter was that beautiful…"Helen was star

"Jackie! Over here!"Before Gina could say a word, several middle-aged women were calling out to Jackie."Calm down, Jess. I'll be right there. Excuse me, ladies," Jackie replied, nodding at Gina and Helen with a smile as he left, not before whistling at Helen.Gina watched as he left, not forgetting to tease Jackie's father. "Hehe, Hardy. Your son is such a good kid.""Hehe. He really has nothing going out for him aside from his silver tongue."Hardy chuckled before turning toward Helen and asking tentatively, "So? What do you think, Helen? My son is something of a regional manager. I know you're still close with your ex-husband, but the way your mom puts it… he doesn't sound all that reliable.""Exactly, Helen," Gina chimed in. "Just see how eloquent Jackie is, unlike Frank, who's always giving me a hard time.""Stop it, Mom."Helen shook her head exasperatedly. "Like I said, Frank is my husband, and I have no interest in other men.""Oh, what a pity." Hardy sighed in obviou
