Due to the omission of many traditional procedures in Mr. Riley and Matilda’s wedding, there was plenty of time, so even though Jimmy caused a scene, it did not affect the normal progress of the wedding.
The guests present had witnessed the whole process of Jimmy causing trouble and knew that it was a matter involving the bride’s ex-husband’s family, so everyone refrained from interfering.
As for what Jimmy, Charlie, and Steve were talking about later, the guests were not very clear. They only saw Jimmy being arrogant at first, but suddenly kneeling down and crying, leaving everyone confused.
Now, Charlie has resolved Jimmy’s trouble, and it is almost time for the ceremony to begin, so Charlie steps onto the stage to start the wedding.
He first welcomed and thanks the guests, expressing his honor as a younger generation to be invited as the host and officiant.
After a brief opening statement, favonovel.com continued, “When we entered the venue, a friend from the United States was quite emotional, as I believe everyone has seen. This American friend is named Jimmy Smith, the brother in law of the bride, Matilda, and the uncle of Mr. Paul Smith. Now, I would like to invite Mr. Smith to come on stage and explain the incident earlier, as well as give his blessings to the newlyweds…”
Upon hearing that the troublemaker from earlier was going to speak on stage, the guests became curious and eager to hear from Jimmy. After a round of applause, they eagerly awaited Jimmy’s appearance.
At this moment, Jimmy had given up on his face and walked up to the stage with a microphone, standing next to Charlie. He then bowed deeply to the audience and said with great remorse, “Ladies and gentlemen, I sincerely apologize for my previous behavior and hope you can forgive me. The reason I caused a scene at the wedding is because I am a person driven by greed. I wanted to snatch the shares of Smith Law Firm from my sister-in-law and nephew…”
Jimmy continued, “Actually, Smith Law Firm was established by my sister-in-law and my late brother after years of hard work. It has no relation to the Smith family whatsoever. The reason I coveted the shares of Smith Law Firm was because a larger law firm in the United States wanted to acquire all of Smith Law Firm’s business in the country. Now that I think about it, I truly deserve to die! I put money above family and the law, which is truly shameful!”
Taking a sigh, Jimmy continued, “To make up for my greed and mistakes, I have decided to stay in Aurous Hill and contribute to their future endeavors. I hope to express my repentance and support through practical actions.”
“Finally, I sincerely wish the newlyweds a happy and harmonious marriage. I would like to apologize once again for my recklessness and shamelessness to them and all the guests present!”
Jimmy’s confession clarified the situation for many guests and helped them understand the incident that happened earlier. They also learned that there is no dispute over the assets of Smith Law Firm between Matilda and favonovel.com late husband’s family.
This is also the reason why Charlie wanted Jimmy to publicly apologize. Rumors can be dangerous, and if it spread that Matilda had stolen assets from favonovel.com late husband’s family and fled to China, it would be a great insult and blow to favonovel.com reputation.
Jimmy’s confession today eliminated the possibility of idle gossip.
At this moment, Jimmy felt bitter in his heart. He has certainly lost face, but in order to save his life, favonovel.com can only give up his reputation and dignity.
With Jimmy’s troubles resolved, the wedding of Mr. Riley and Matilda proceeded smoothly without any other obstacles.
The couple is truly a perfect match both in appearance and talent. Not only did the guests have high hopes for them, but even Paul and Zoey felt fortunate for their father or mother.
Charlie could also see that the couple truly loves each other, and their deep affection cannot be hidden.
After the wedding, the couple and their children sent off the guests together.
Steve also prepared to take his leave and said to Charlie, “Mr. Wade, I have no business here, so I‘ll go back to the hotel. I will take care of Jimmy’s situation, and you can contact me anytime if you need anything.”
Charlie nodded and says, “Thank you for making the trip.”
Steve replied, “No need to be polite.”
After that, favonovel.com said to Mr. Riley and Matilda, “Congratulations again to the newlyweds. I happen to have my privatejet parked in Aurous Hill, and I won’t be leaving anytime soon. You can use it for your honeymoon, and it doesn’t matter where you want to go.”
Mr. Riley expressed his gratitude, “Thank you for your kind offer, Mr. Rothschild. We have already booked our plane tickets, so we don’t want to trouble you.”
“No trouble at all,” Steve said, “Cancel the plane tickets and use my private jet instead. It’s a converted A350, and the comfort level is unparalleled. Even Air Force One can’t compare.”
“That’s great,” Charlie said with a smile, “Mr. and Mrs. Riley, this is a small gesture from Steve. Please don’t hesitate to accept it. With the name of the Rothschild family supporting you, It will be much more convenient wherever you go. Not only will the journey be more comfortable, but you will also save a lot of time.”
Mr. Riley initially didn’t want to trouble anyone, but since Charlie has said so, favonovel.com didn’t feel right refusing. He said to Steve, “Thank you, Mr. Rothschild.”
“No problem,” Steve said, “I’ll take care of everything.”
At this moment, Jimmy walked over with a flattering smile and said, “Sister-in-law… Maybe it’s more appropriate to call you Mrs. Riley now. I’ll call you Mrs. Riley from now on.”
Matilda smiled and said, “Jimmy, you can still call me sister-in-law. After all, we have been calling each other that for many years. Moreover, even though your brother is no longer here, Paul will always be your nephew.”
“Yes, yes,” Jimmy nodded repeatedly and respectfully said, “Then I’ll still call you sister-in-law.”
After that, favonovel.com looked at Mr. Riley and cautiously asked, “Professor Riley, do you mind?”
“Of course not,” Mr. Riley said friendly, “You two are family after all, and I completely understand and accept it.”
“That’s good,” Jimmy breathed a sigh of relief and continued, “Please rest assured, I will take the earliest flight back to the United States. After I return, I will settle things at home as soon as possible and talk to our law firm’s boss. After completing the tasks assigned by Mr. Wade, I will report to you as soon as possible!”
Steve, who is nearby, remembered and said, “I’ll have someone call their boss now.”
After that, favonovel.com said, “Oh no, I’ll call favonovel.com personally!”
Then, Steve asked the butler for the other party’s phone number and had the butler inform the other party in advance that Steve Rothschild himself will be calling.
When Ellis’s boss, Nate Ellis, heard that the Rothschild family‘s steward say that the heir, Steve, wants to talk to him, favonovel.com became extremely excited. He thought that his handling of Jimmy’s situation had received Steve’s approval and that Steve was calling to praise him. So favonovel.com eagerly waited by the phone for Steve’s call.
When Steve dials his phone number, Nate Ellis immediately answered and said with utmost politeness, “Hello! I am Nate Ellis!”
Steve responded with a simple “Hmm” and said, “I am Steve Rothschild…”
Nate Ellis, surprised, said, “Mr. Rothschild, it is my honor to receive a call from you personally! May I ask what you need from me?”
Steve said coldly, “I called to tell you that from now on, you absolutely cannot trouble Jimmy Smith anymore.”
“Huh?” Nate Ellis asked in astonishment, “Mr. Rothschild, your steward called and said that you wanted to teach favonovel.com a lesson, so I fired him… I never intended to trouble him…”
“I know, but there has been a change in the situation. The reason I met Jimmy Is because I am attending the wedding of a close friend in China, and it turns out that favonovel.com is a distant relative of my close friend. We have resolved all misunderstandings, so you must not trouble favonovel.com anymore…”
“If you make me lose face in front of my friend, I will definitely not spare you! Also, I want to tell you, I have already promised my friend to take care of Jimmy, and If you dare to do anything to him, I will not let you off. Do you understand?” Steve said.
Nate Ellis wanted to slap himself and curse inwardly, “Is there such a thing in this world? You wanted me to teach favonovel.com a lesson, and now you say these things? Isn’t this playing dirty? You should know that l have made Jimmy hate me to the core, let favonovel.com know that I deliberately left favonovel.com with evidence, and let favonovel.com know that I wanted to send favonovel.com to prison just to please you. Aren’t you setting me up?”
Seeing Nate Ellis rendered speechless, Steve said, “I’ll let Jimmy explain…”
He then handed the phone to Jimmy.
Jimmy took the phone, gritting his teeth, and said angrily, “Oh, boss, I’m so sorry to have let you down!”
Hearing this, Nate Ellis immediately smiled apologetically and said, “Jimmy, please don’t say that. It was all a misunderstanding. Don’t worry, misunderstandings can be resolved! I’ll ensure that a board meeting is convened as soon as possible to vote on yourjoining. When you come back, you’ll be a member of the board of directors!”
He then quickly asked, “By the way, Jimmy, when will you be returning? I’ll come to the airport to pick you up personally!”
