Chapter 58 The Grand Wedding 16 Announcement
"Mrs. Whitaker, from this moment, for the rest of your life, my surname will be added behind your name forever." Alaric's voice was distinct and somewhat domineering.
Cecilia gazed at him.
He was so serious.
Time ticked by.
Suddenly, Alaric performed a gentlemanly gesture toward her.
It was a gesture of respect.
Cecilia's heart raced a bit.
Dominic had never treated her this way.
Dominic always professed his love for her, but he had never truly respected her.
He would always use his sweet words to make her "compromise," whether it was about liking a certain outfit or not wanting to eat a particular food.
Cecilia had thought those requests were because of his love for her.
In reality, Dominic was trying to confine her.
He wanted her to follow all his arrangements.
If he asked her to wear something, she had to wear it.
Cecilia gazed intently at the man in front of her who was bending down for her.
She had always believed that a man should never bow his head, as doing so would mean losing his dignity.
However, at this moment, she suddenly felt that a real man would listen to his woman.
She reached out.
Her hand lightly placed on Alaric's.
Everyone applauded for this affectionate newlywed couple.
Outside the venue, on high-definition screens spread out across the streets and alleys of Serenovia City, scenes of Alaric and Cecilia's wedding were being shown.
Major websites were also live-streaming every moment of their wedding.
The online viewership even surpassed the most popular variety show in the Yakurosean Empire, with astonishing views.
Therefore, Dominic must have seen it too.
At noon, after Alaric took Cecilia away, there was still some argument between Dominic's parents and Cecilia's parents at the venue. However, ultimately, it was Dominic's parents who were at fault first, and they left in a huff.
They left in embarrassment.
Upon returning to the Kingsley family, everyone could no longer hold back their emotions. Each person was on the verge of going mad, unable to accept the humiliation of the day. Just the thought of deceiving Cecilia for so many years, almost succeeding in the end, only to face complete failure.
Dominic was truly enraged.
But at that moment, he still firmly believed that Cecilia would regret it.
And when she came back to him, he would make her feel the despair!
However, now, he casually opened a webpage, and a video popped up randomly, showing Cecilia and Alaric's wedding.
He really wouldn't have recognized it as Cecilia and Alaric's wedding if he didn’t look closely. It looked like the wedding of an emperor.
At that moment, he was extremely angry!
This wedding had already brought him a very embarrassing outcome in high society, and now it was being exposed in front of the entire nation, letting everyone know that he had been abandoned by Cecilia, showing everyone his humiliation!
Dominic struggled to contain his intense anger; his eyes turned red as he glared at Cecilia in her stunning wedding dress, which outshone the one he had prepared for her. If he had known earlier, if he had known it would turn out like this, he would never have been so indifferent to this wedding. He would have made it grand, so grand that Alaric could never surpass it.
However, at that moment, when a panoramic shot of the entire wedding hall was shown, Dominic was shocked to despair.
Such a magnificent banquet hall; even a cursory glance made it clear that it was beyond his capabilities.
No!
Dominic would never admit that someone else was better than him.
He would rather die than admit that he was defeated by Alaric.
Alaric was just wealthy, that's all.
He just relied on being the son of the head of the four major families, the Whitaker family, to be so extravagant.
The day he became the most powerful person in The Yakurosean Empire, he would make Alaric suffer!
At the banquet, Alaric and Cecilia stood up simultaneously.
They looked deeply into each other's eyes.
Was Cecilia feeling absent-minded? Was the smile on this man's face a sign of happiness? Was it so radiant with happiness that he seemed sunny and cheerful? The Alaric in her memory usually had a cynical or calm and cool demeanor, never this radiant appearance.
At that moment, Cecilia was even a bit distracted.
Because of her distraction, she completely missed the baritone male voice loudly announcing, "Send the newlyweds to the bridal chamber!"
"Cecilia," Alaric called her, smiling.
Cecilia came back to reality.
Alaric said, "We should go home now."
'I don't want to go home with you!' Cecilia thought.
Alaric took her hand.
She had thought that after a lifetime of hardships, she would reject any man's approach.
But for some reason, during the entire process of Alaric holding her hand, she felt no aversion at all.
The cameras at the scene captured them tightly holding each other's hands in a close-up shot, showcasing their enviable warmth. Alaric led Cecilia toward the stage.
There were once again applause.
People were truly amazed by the wedding.
Cecilia followed Alaric out of the banquet hall.
Just as Cecilia was about to follow Alaric to the dressing room to change out of her wedding dress and prepare to entertain the guests, she was surprised to see that Alaric had already taken her out of the hotel's entrance.
At the entrance, a stretched Rolls-Royce was parked there.
Alaric's butler, Finley, dressed in a black suit with white gloves, stood there respectfully.
Upon seeing them, he quickly opened the car door for them, showing great respect, "Welcome, Mr. Whitaker and Mrs. Whitaker."
Mrs. Whitaker!
Cecilia found it somewhat unbelievable.
She had actually married Alaric.
They had really gotten married so quickly.
Adjusting her emotions slightly, with Alaric's support, she sat in the car. Her dress was too luxurious, and the train was too long. As she struggled to pull the train back onto the car, she saw Finley stepping forward respectfully to help her tidy up. Just as she was about to refuse, Alaric beside her had already bent down, earnestly helping Cecilia adjust her train.
At that moment, not only Cecilia was surprised.
Even Finley, standing next to Alaric, was taken aback.
He seemed to take a deep breath, reopening his eyes before truly believing the scene before him.
Before truly believing that Alaric, who had always been reserved and innocent, would treat a woman with such care.
