Chapter 234 Bridgette Betrothal Ceremony
At that moment, Prince received a call from Bridgette and said, “Hello Miss Bridgette, we are at the hotel parking lot. Do you want something?” Bridgette shook her head and replied, “I was just checking how far you are.” Then they hung up.
Bridgette didn’t tell him that the Taylor family was at the gate. Prince was supposed to direct them. In his absence, Mr Martins had to take over Prince’s duties.
When Xavier saw his father-in-law directing the cars, he parked his car and then told his father-in-law that he would do it. Chase joined him, then they parked the cars neatly in the driveway. When it was full, they asked others to park outside.
Mr Martins ushered the Taylor family to the luxury decorated living room. There was a long table with centerpieces, gold wine glasses, and gold underplates. The living room looked spectacular as if it was a wedding venue.
Avery sat beside her husband smiling from ear to ear. Her husband took her hand and kissed her. Then he asked, “Is Uncle Prince off duty today?”
Avery shook her head and replied, “He left around 8:30 to fetch Aunt Bridge’s uncle and his family at His Glory Hotel. When he arrived, they were still eating, and they finished at 9:45.
When Aunt Bridge called him at 9:50, Uncle Prince indicated that they were on the way. I think they will be here soon.” When Keith heard her niece-in-law’s words, he looked at his future wife and asked, “Should we wait for them, my future wife?”
Bridgette shook her head and replied, “No, we don’t have to wait for them. We can proceed.” It was clear that they didn’t take Bridgette’s betrothal ceremony seriously. Mr Evans smiled and said, “We can proceed, in-laws.”
Aunt Rose was sitting beside her best friend, Suzie. She squeezed her hand to comfort her. Suzie looked at her best friend and smiled. She was regretting begging her brother to attend her daughter’s betrothal ceremony.
The Kemp family was surprised when Prince took the La Lucia off-ramp. They could see that they were in the wealthiest neighbourhood. The mansions were big and stunning.
When they arrived at the Evans mansion, Prince parked the car outside the gate. Prince looked at the Kemp family and said, “Please leave your luggage in the car. I will park the car in the garage after the Taylor family leaves.”
Mr Kemp was so shocked he couldn’t come back to his senses for a long time. He looked at Prince and asked, “Is this my sister’s house?”
Prince nodded his head and replied, “Mr Evans is a Construction Director at the Martins Group. He built this house himself when Miss Bridgette was thirteen years old.”
Mr Kemp took his phone and took photos of the mansion and the luxury cars in the driveway. Then he sent the photos to his brother and sisters with the caption ‘Suzie’s family is filthy rich’.
Prince escorted them into the mansion. When they saw the luxury cars in the driveway, Mrs Kemp asked, “Is my niece’s fiancé coming from a good family?” Prince smiled and replied, “Yes. They are the richest family in the country.”Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
They couldn’t believe their ears. Suzie never told them that she was rich, and their niece was marrying the richest family in the country.
If they knew that the Evans family was so rich they wouldn’t waste their money by booking hotel rooms. Mrs Kemp was so angry; she felt cheated. Prince took them to the spacious, well-equipped kitchen.
Prince told them to wait for him. Then he walked to the living room to fetch Mrs Evans. The atmosphere was lively, they were chatting and laughing. When Mrs Evans saw her bodyguard, she excused herself, then she went to the kitchen.
She smiled brightly at her brother and his family, then she asked them to follow her to the living room. Her brother was shocked when he saw the Taylor Group CEO and the Martins Group CEO.
Paul looked at them and said, “In-laws, this is my brother-in-law, Eden Kemp, and his family.” The Taylor family nodded their heads. Eden was so embarrassed about being late for her niece’s betrothal ceremony.
Page’s eyes lit up when she saw Xavier. He was sitting beside his wife smiling. Page’s heart skipped a beat. She didn’t even hear her aunt when she was calling her.
Avery furrowed her brows when she saw Aunt Bridge’s cousin coveting her husband. Xavier looked at his wife and asked, “What is wrong?” Avery smiled sweetly at him and replied, “Nothing.”
Her God Grandma took Page’s hand and ushered her to her seat. Page didn’t know how she sat down. Her mind went blank. She hadn’t seen anyone so handsome.
Mr Taylor senior looked at Mr Evans and said, “We have prepared these gifts as a token of appreciation. For my daughter-in-law, I gave her 10% of the Taylor Empire and a black card. My son, Keith, will explain the benefits of the black card to my daughter-in-law.”
Also, they had prepared a cheque for one billion rand, health supplements, towels, and a wristwatch for Mr Evans.
For Mrs Evans, they had prepared an elegant Mink Fur coat, Louis Vuitton handbag, and jewelry.” Bridgette was overwhelmed with sweetness.
The Evans family was so shocked they didn’t expect such gifts. They didn’t know what to say. Mr Martins smiled and said, “On behalf of the Evans family, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for accepting our daughter and for such gifts.”
At 12 pm, His Glory Hotel Chef, Sipho, walked to the living room followed by the waiters carrying food. Bridgette, Hope, and Avery went to Chef Sipho. Bridgette smiled and thanked him.
Aunt Bridgette looked at Avery and said, “Sweetheart, please serve the Taylor family. Hope and I will serve other tables. Avery nodded her head, then she started plating.
Mr Taylor Senior was sitting with his four best friends, his two brothers and their wives. Avery plated eighteen plates beautifully, then she asked the waiters to follow him.
She served Grandpa Taylor first, then she served her Grand uncles and their wives. Then she served Grandpa’s best friends. Grandpa Taylor smiled brightly and thanked her.
Then Avery walked to her father-in-law’s table. She served her father-in-law, Uncle Keith, and her mother-in-law. She then served her father and walked to Xavier’s table.
