Chapter 52 The Grand Wedding 10 Alaric Humiliated Dominic
Cecilia's heart raced as she looked at the man before her.
She had never seen him in a white suit, whether in her past life or this life.
His hair was neatly groomed, each strand meticulously arranged.
His clothes were without a wrinkle, looking more dignified and mature than ever.
Even the way he looked at her at this moment was filled with deep affection.
Cecilia unconsciously pursed her lips.
It was clearly still the same Alaric.
It felt like he had changed as if he had been reborn.
She calmed herself down, adjusting her emotions silently.
Clearly, this was just a play.
She had thought Alaric wouldn't come, but his sudden appearance now surprised her.
She raised her gaze to look at him.
His eyes remained fixed on her face.
Suddenly, his hand reached out in a graceful gesture.
Cassius quickly handed him a bouquet of red roses.
The roses seemed to be adorned with diamonds, shimmering brightly under the lights.
Everyone was captivated by the dazzling bouquet.
It was so beautiful.
At that moment, Cecilia was also deeply captivated.
She always felt that Alaric would bring unexpected surprises.
Everything Dominic could think of and do was just some dull and common flirting tactics, the so-called romance that she could predict even with her eyes closed.
It was only through comparison that one can truly understand romance.
She watched Alaric as he knelt down on one knee.
Her heart raced.
She looked at the tall and upright Alaric, half-kneeling in front of her as if the whole world had fallen silent.
Alaric’s sudden gesture silenced the entire venue.
Everyone was afraid that even the slightest movement would disturb the beauty before them.
The scene before their eyes was truly like a painting.
He said, "Cecilia, marry me."
Cecilia bit her lip tightly.
She had to admit that at that moment, even her fingers were trembling.
She had never thought Alaric would go this far.
In fact, as long as he showed up, no matter what he asked, she would marry him.
She released her tightly bitten lip, and at that moment, a brilliant smile appeared on her face, stunningly beautiful.
She said, "Yes."
A simple "yes" stunned everyone present.
They all felt that such a dramatic scene straight out of a drama series couldn't possibly happen in reality, yet it did, within the most famous aristocratic family in Serenovia City.
It looked like a drama.
Cecilia reached out to take the rose from Alaric.
At that moment, Dominic seemed to snap out of his shock, quickly moving over, trying to take Cecilia away.
However, in that instant, a large hand swiftly pulled Cecilia into his embrace before Dominic reached her.
Cecilia didn't even know how she ended up in Alaric's arms.
Not just Cecilia, even Dominic was stunned.
He couldn't react for a good while.
"Mr. Kingsley, mind your behavior," Alaric held Cecilia in his arms, clearly asserting his dominance.
Dominic clenched his fists.
He scolded Cecilia, "Are you crazy?"
"The head of the prestigious Whitaker family in Serenovia City, Mr. Whitaker, isn't worthy of me marrying him?" Cecilia's expression darkened.
At that moment, she inexplicably disliked Dominic's disdainful attitude toward Alaric.
"Do you know what kind of person he is? Do you know how promiscuous he is? You actually agreed to marry him! Cecilia, you better think carefully about what you're doing!" Dominic's suppressed anger threatened.
"Are you the only one allowed to have other lovers?"
Cecilia retorted, "You cheated me before our wedding, while Alaric is just a bit flirtatious. It is unfair to question Alaric's character!"
"I'm not like him!" Dominic said angrily.
"Not like him," Cecilia bluntly stated, "You are even worse."
"Cecilia!" At that moment, Dominic truly wanted to kill her.
Even if Cecilia didn't marry him, she shouldn't publicly marry another man.
It was a matter of a man's dignity.
Never be violated!
"I won't allow her to marry you!" Ophelia suddenly said.
Cecilia was somewhat angry.
She wanted to refute Ophelia at that moment.
Alaric gently covered her mouth.
Cecilia's heart fluttered.
When she felt the warmth of his hand, she realized she still needed that kind of reassurance.
She just didn't dare to hope for it.
Their actions at that moment seemed so ambiguous.
Dominic's eyes were full of anger.
"Is there something you're dissatisfied with, Mrs. Lockhart?" Alaric asked, humble and polite.
He stood in stark contrast to the enraged Dominic.
In Cecilia’s past life, Alaric was a dissolute and unsuccessful playboy.
Dominic was a successful and modest gentleman.
However, at this moment, they had completely switched roles.
Alaric appeared a hundred times more noble than Dominic!
"What can I be unsatisfied?" Ophelia expressed her disdain toward Alaric.
"In terms of family background, isn't the Whitaker family comparable to the Lockhart family?" Alaric remained unaffected by Ophelia's disparagement, maintaining his humility.
Ophelia fell silent.
The Whitaker family, as the head of the four major families in Serenovia City, was on par with the Lockhart family and even stronger than the Kingsley family!
"In terms of appearance, am I far behind Dominic?" Alaric continued.
It was widely known that Alaric was one of the most handsome men in all of Serenovia City!
While Dominic, apart from his disguised gentle demeanor, couldn't be considered good-looking at all.
"In terms of achievements, as far as I know, Dominic's greatest honor to date is being on the Forbes Celebrity List of the Yakurosean Empire. And I happen to be on it as well." Alaric's magnetic voice carried a gentle tone.
This left Ophelia speechless.
"In terms of generosity, I can spend a lot of money to buy Cecilia the sapphires she loves, while Dominic just watches as someone else steals Cecilia's heart."
At this moment, not only Ophelia but also Dominic felt extremely awkward.
"In terms of knowledge, Dominic holds dual master's degrees from the top institutions in the Yakurosean Empire, while I hold dual master's degrees from the top institutions globally," Alaric said, "Cassius."
Cassius immediately understood and handed Alaric's academic credentials.
Alaric passed them to Ophelia.
Although Ophelia didn't take them, she still sneaked a glance.
It seemed she found it hard to believe that Alaric possessed such high academic credentials.
"Most importantly." Alaric emphasized each word, "Cecilia is the only woman I am going to marry!"
