Chapter 251 A Surprise

In the late afternoon, Mark sat in front of Anne and wore a problematic face. He clearly knew what she
meant. If the company’s product failed to meet the trends in the market, it would surely disappoint their
loyal customers. This was something he couldn't let happen.

"If that's the case, then what should we do?" he asked in a worried tone. He thought that Anne could at
least help him solve this matter.

"Well I am not so sure about my idea but, maybe you should try another method to boost the products
in the market. Here's one more thing, you should also consider the needs of the public instead of
famous and rich people. That may have different results." After weighing the consequences of the
options and the risk that must be taken for the good of the company, Anne had finally come up with an
idea. Her suggestion was indeed very practical. Mark agreed with what she said. At some point, it was
the best thing to do in the current situation.

"Okay, I'll try," he simply said.

The two of them talked about the matters that were needed to settle in the M Group's business. There
were actually so many things that went along the way as they launched the new product of the
company. It took them until late in the evening before they have finished their conversation. At this time,
Anne could finally let her mind rest from the pressures in life.

As Mark stared at her restless face, he couldn't help but feel a little sad for her. He knew the pain that
she was enduring in her heart at this point of time. It was the wedding day of Kevin.

"Today is the wedding day. Are you planning to do something? Let me take you out to have fun," Mark
said, trying to distract Anne from overthinking about the wedding.

However, Anne just smiled faintly and said, "I don't want to go out. We have finished talking about the
company's affairs, and you can find someone to make a detailed plan about it."



There was no disappointment in her face at all. She did her best to hide her emotions. After all, there
was no expectation in her heart.

"Don't you feel bad?" Mark said directly when he noticed that Anne was reluctant to open up. He had
known her for a long time. She was not the kind of woman who used to show off what she truly felt.
Even if something big happened, she wouldn't bother anyone and only chose to endure the pain alone.
This was what he was most worried about.

"No, I'm fine," Anne said in an indifferent tone. As soon as she finished talking, her phone suddenly
rang.

She picked it up and saw that it was a call from Kevin, so she turned it off.

She was totally not in the mood to answer his calls. In her mind, they had nothing more to talk about.

In the Fu Family's Villa, everything was settled for the grand wedding day.

The place was designed extravagantly. There was a long crimson carpet on the center and a thousand
roses on each side. The villa was indeed breathtaking. The world must have been waiting for the
grandest wedding of the year.

The roses were a combination of pink that symbolized joy, dark red that symbolized enthusiasm, and
beige that symbolized elegance. There were colorful balloons above everyone's heads. They were
strung together and when the time came, they would be released to the sky.

On the long table, there were countless layers of cocktails. The fragrance of flowers was everywhere.
Everyone could tell that it was indeed a long awaited wedding.

In his room, Kevin looked serious while looking on his phone. He was worried because Anne was
ignoring his calls. He was anxious that all of his efforts this time would be put in vain.



Sam came over to him and noticed that he looked uneasy. He furrowed his eyebrows and asked,
"What, you still haven't contacted Anne? I saw that Rose is getting ready in the dressing room. What
are you going to do now?"

"Well, I just have to play it by ear," Kevin said and sighed helplessly. Despite the tense that he was
feeling at the moment, he still managed to appear calm in front of Sam.

"Stay here. I'm going to find Anne," Sam said in a hurry.

However, Kevin's expression suddenly changed. He suddenly turned cold and said, "I can do it myself.
I'll be the one to find her."

Sam found him absurd. He couldn't believe that this man could still put his jealous on top of the current
situation. "Ha-ha. How can you still feel that way despite our situation? Can you be more rational? Do
you think that I am the kind of person who will take advantage of your perilous state? Besides, I already
have a girlfriend. You can't go out alone now. You are the bridegroom today."

After that, he took his suit and walked out to find Anne. Kevin was left thinking that somehow, Sam had
a point.

In the dressing room, everyone was very busy for the wedding. They were all focused on Rose's look.

The top make-up artists in the world were hired for this wedding. While they were working in unison, a
strong scent of incense was smelled in the room.

Rose sat in front of the mirror and sniffed the scent. Suddenly, she covered her nose and turned to the
make-up artist.

"Can you put away the incense? I don't like the smell," she said, full of displeasure.



The make-up artist lifted an eyebrow and explained to her, "Well, Mrs. Rose, what kind of smell do you
like? You are wearing a pink dress. This sweet fragrance can set off your temperament."

"Then, I'll just use my perfume, okay? Besides, this has a long-lasting scent. It's a customized one,
worth eight million. Isn't this enough to set off my temperament? Rose said in a sharp tone and raised
the expensive perfume in her hand.

"No, you can't use that. Mrs. Selma told me to light the incense for your temperament." Rose squinted
her eyes after hearing what the make-up artist said. She was getting more irritated. She was losing all
her patience.

She didn't care whether her makeup and dress were beautiful or not. In the end, she would still choose
to run away.

"Well, I'm a little stuffy. Can I go out and breathe some fresh air for a moment?" she asked and covered
her nose.

However, the make-up artist shook her head decisively and said, "No, the emcee is preparing now. If
others saw you outside, they would say that it's improper and against the rules."

"There are so many rules. I don’t know which one to follow anymore," Rose grumbled.

"Just let me go to the lady's room instead," she added.

The make-up artist looked embarrassed. She still hesitated in allowing her.

"Well, your clothes…"

"There is another one. I don't think Kevin will care about this little money since he wants to marry me,
right?" Before Rose left, she spoke once more in a hostile tone.



She tried her best to drive the makeup artist away, so that she could have a chance to escape. It
seemed that Selma instructed them carefully to look after her before the wedding started.

"Okay, you can go. But be careful." the make-up artist sighed and let her go at last.

Rose quickly left the dressing room, but she didn't go to the lady's room. Instead, she went to the exit.
She didn't want to attend the wedding at all and she couldn't wait to escape. She was so anxious to
marry the man she didn't truly love. She was more distressed when she found that there were six exits
and each had several men guarding it.

She had thought that it was a common practice of Fu Family. She would never expect that it was Kevin
who specially sent these people to prevent her from escaping.

After a short moment, she heard the emcee making an opening speech. She looked up and saw that it
was time for her to show up on the big screen. She couldn't escape now, so she had no choice but to
hide in the men's room.

As expected, she heard someone who was looking for her.

"Miss Rose, are you there?" the wedding assistant said and knocked on the door.

Rose held her breath tightly and didn’t say anything. After a while, the wedding assistant walked away.
It was only then when she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The scene at the venue of the wedding was very lively. The visitors were greeting each other, as if this
event was somehow a kind of reunion of the people in the upper class.

There were many guests who came from different places to witness the wedding of the world's famous
CEO.



The other guests even came from abroad. The Fu Family's manor covered an area of nearly ten
thousand square meters, but it was still fully occupied by the people.

On the stage, there was the emcee who looked very proud of having the opportunity to host Kevin's
wedding. When the event was about to start, he said happily, "Hello everyone. Today is the wedding of
Mr. Kevin, the richest man in the world. Before the bride arrives, I think all of you are very curious of
how this perfect couple has come together? Do you want to know?"

At that moment, the atmosphere was instantly ignited. It seemed that everyone was fascinated on how
Kevin had worked out a good relationship with the woman he was about to marry today.

The emcee's eyes sparkled as he looked at the bright faces of the guests. Then, he passed the
microphone to Kevin.

However, Kevin didn't say a single word. His mind seemed to be far away. The only thing that he was
thinking about was Anne. He couldn't accept that she would not be able to know about the big effort he
had prepared especially for her. He looked very frustrated in front of the visitors.

When the emcee noticed that he looked indifferent, he cleared his throat and said to everyone, "Mr.
Kevin must be too excited today. The union of a talented man and a beautiful woman can't really be
expressed in words."

Kevin's wedding was even broadcast on the financial channel all over the world.

After a while, Kevin thought that he needed to give his final statement. He could feel that his heart was
beating faster, but there was no turning back now. He had to admit what he should have admitted to
everyone a long time ago.



He said to everyone, "I'm glad that you came to my wedding as scheduled, but I'm sorry that my wife
didn't come."

Everyone gaped in surprise and burst into an uproar after hearing him.

"Mr. Kevin, I've found Miss Rose. She was lost just now and is on her way here." The emcee walked to
him closer and tried to stop him. He started to feel embarrassed for him.

He was shocked that the famous CEO couldn't handle the temporary pressure in the event and
immediately informed the people that the bride was missing.

However, Kevin ignored him and continued to speak on the microphone, "I think some people already
knew that I have a wife on a signed contract before. She is the eldest daughter of L Group."

"Oh my God! Anne is the daughter of the Luo Family. Kevin is so lucky to have two daughters from the
Luo Family at the same time," the guests began to murmur with each other. They quickly shared
gossips and even updated on their social media accounts. At this time, Valentina looked very angry.
She was about to rush onto the stage. In her mind, Kevin was putting her whole family into shame.

Even though Liam also felt the same way, he reached out his hand to hold her down.

"Calm down. This is not the right place to make a scene," Liam said calmly. If she made a scene, the
situation would only get worse. No matter what, this was not just a wedding, but a banquet that the
whole world paid attention to.

Valentina bit her lip and sat down reluctantly. She realized that she had to restrain her impulse.

Kevin continued, "I did fail Anne before, because of some misunderstandings. I was not able to see
that she was a good woman, but now I've realized that I was wrong with what I have thought."

He felt that his eyes were getting wet as he spoke with full sincerity in front of everyone.



On the other side, Selma almost had a heart attack. She couldn't believe what was happening on the
stage. Last night, she felt very excited for the wedding day that she looked forward to the most, but now
everything was ruined at once.

Rose, who was carried over, was also stunned by what Kevin had said. She looked at him with
disbelief.

"I want to take this chance and make up for her for the rest of my life, so I have been secretly preparing
for this wedding. I want to admit that Anne is my wife in front of the whole world. She didn't deserve to
be discriminated, or to be looked down upon," Kevin said, full of emotions.

He felt that this was the moment that he would never forget, because finally, he had the courage to tell
the world about the person he really loved.

Everyone was touched by his words. They were moved by his courage and sincerity.

Rose suddenly cried. It was not because she was disappointed or sad, but it was out of so much relief
that she didn't have to worry about marrying someone she didn’t love anymore.

However, she was not aware that the camera had turned to her.

On the balcony, Anne looked from afar, seemingly in a deep thought.

She opened a bottle of wine and poured it on her glass.

She wanted to believe that she was not sad, but she always felt that she needed something to
suppress the heaviness in her heart. She couldn't understand herself for feeling this way.

The sun was shining brightly, but it was not able to reach her side. She seemed so gloomy all over. It
was a melancholic day, but she couldn't admit it to herself. She didn't want to feel weak, or to look weak
and pathetic.



She didn’t feel its warmth, but rather her body felt cold and numb.

"Anne, come and have a look!" Mark suddenly rushed to her and called her attention. He didn't leave
because he was afraid that she would feel sad the whole day.
