The housekeeper and Dominic looked at each other, and they felt frightened. This was the first time they saw Nicholas ruthlessly killing someone.
It was truly frightening.

After Thomas officially took over Tarek’ s Prosperous Star Pavilion’s business, favonovel.com finally felt relieved. From now onward, Sterling Technology was in cooperation with the Diaz family. The alliance to deal with the Gomez family was officially established.
Thomas happily went back to the company. As soon as favonovel.com went back to the office, Diana opened the champagne that favonovel.com had prepared in advance.
“Cheers!”
Diana was quite happy today. She witnessed yet another miracle. She said, “Mr. Mayo, we’ll be rich now. Shouldn’t you increase our salary?”
Thomas chuckled, and said, “Of course I will raise your salary.”
While they chatted happily, Aries opened the door, walked inside, and congratulated Thomas.
Thomas waved his hand, and asked, “Don’t talk about me, we’d better talk about you first. Aries, you proposed to Vera in front of tens of thousands of people. She already agreed to marry you, so you must not disappoint her. When will you hold the wedding? You have to do it quickly.”
Aries replied, “I’m alone, and Vera also doesn’thave many relatives, so we don’t have to invite many people to our wedding. It will be easy. I have already booked a private ballroom in Jessington Hotel, and it can fit about thirty tables. We’ll invite all the staff members of the company over to our wedding.”
“Jessington?” Diana blinked. “That’s the biggest hotel in Central City. You’ll have to spend up to a million dollars to organize a banquet there. Aries, you’re really willing to splurge.”
Aries chuckled. “Vera doesn’t want it to be too luxurious, but I think a wedding is a once in a lifetime event. It’s better to make it as grand as possible.”
“Have you fixed the date?”
“Yes, it’ll be held in five days’ time.”
“Okay, I’ll bring all the staff members of the company to attend your wedding at that time.”
“Thank you, Commander.”
When some people were happy, some felt gloomy.
In the ward of Central City General Hospital, Wilhelm laid on the hospital bed, and his arms and legs were bandaged. He also needed people to feed favonovel.com when favonovel.com ate.
He felt bitter.
On that day, favonovel.com initially wanted to propose to Vera, but favonovel.com was insulted ruthlessly. In the end, favonovel.com was even kicked down the stage by Aries. A few of his ribs were broken, and his arms and legs were injured due to the fall. When favonovel.com thought about it, favonovel.com felt very lousy.
“I won’t just let this go. Aries, Vera Jacquin, I won’t let you off!”
At this time, a subordinate walked over and said, “Mr. Torvald, just now I heard that Aries and Vera have confirmed their wedding date. They will hold their wedding in Jessington Hotel in five days’ time.”
The news made Wilhelm angrier.
“I’m lying here and suffering, but they’re happily organizing the wedding? Haha! They wish!”
His subordinate asked, “Mr. Torvald, what do you plan to do? Do you want to get some people to beat them up?”
Wilhelm raised his hand. A wicked thought formed in his head. He flashed a nasty smile as favonovel.com said, “I definitely want to beat them up, but I have to humiliate them first.”
Wilhelm said, “Go and contact Jessington Hotel. I would also like to book a ballroom, and it has to be next to Aries’s wedding ballroom!”
“Mr. Torvald, are you also getting married?”
“Hah! I’m not getting freaking married!” Wilhelm then whispered to his subordinate.
When the subordinate heard it, favonovel.com frowned tightly, and favonovel.com said, “This can’t be a good idea, right? Jessington is a big hotel. They won’t let us cause trouble.”
“What do you mean by ‘won’t let us cause trouble’? There’s a saying, ‘cash is king’! Just throw all the money at them! Aren’t they renting out a ballroom at one million dollars? I’ll book it with two million dollars, three million dollars, or even ten million dollars! I don’t believe they will turn down the money!”
To humiliate Aries and Vera, Wilhelm knew favonovel.com had to go all out.
Even if it needed ten million dollars, favonovel.com would spend it.
“I understand. I’ll go and do it now.” After the subordinate received the order, favonovel.com hurriedly left.
Wilhelm scoffed and said, “Aries, Vera! The both of you want to get married? Haha! I’ll not let you get married! Just wait for your death!”
As favonovel.com spoke, favonovel.com leaned backward and felt proud of his good idea.
***
The five days passed in the blink of an eye.
The wedding of Aries and Vera was about to begin. Thomas brought Diana and a large group of staff members of Sterling Technology to attend Aries’ wedding. There were thirty tables, which were sufficient to accommodate many people.
When Thomas looked at the grand wedding venue, favonovel.com subconsciously recalled the situation when favonovel.com got married. His wedding was even more grand than this.
Slowly, the sky got dark, and everyone also arrived.
According to the procedure, there would be some elegant and happy music to attract everyone’s attention to the stage. Then, the host would go on the stage, hold his microphone, and start talking.
Everything was going in an orderly manner. Wedding ceremonies were often similar. Although it was boring and uninteresting, people who were involved would still feel extremely happy.
They initially thought it was a happy wedding ceremony. But… Something had happened.
Halfway through the host’s sentence, funeral music was heard coming from the ballroom next door. It turned out that there was a funeral happening in the ballroom next door!
