Chapter 126: Chapter 126

John Green wiped her tears and told her not to cry.

The guests watching were also very moved.

Lucy fully believed that they would cherish each other for the rest of their lives.

Although John Green was part of the Green Family, he wasn’t a public figure, so the wedding didn’t make the news.

As a result, Mia Townsend’s maternal family temporarily didn’t know about it, which avoided a big trouble.

Lucy entered the bridal chamber with Mia Townsend, looking at the particularly festive room and smiling, "It’s really atmospheric."

Mia Townsend sat down, her eyes scanning the scene in front of her, "Yes, a day I once only dared to think about has actually come true."

"You’re lucky," Lucy looked at her, "You’ve successfully changed your destiny."

"It’s all because I listened to you. If I hadn’t cut ties with my family and given them a million, I might have faced misfortune."

"It was your courage. Life’s success depends on oneself. You had no chance to renew ties with your elder brother. Now that you’re married, I’m genuinely happy for you." Lucy continued, "Most women are soft-hearted, can’t make decisions, can’t get rid of society’s views, and don’t dare to challenge a new self. You’re different, you let me see a different kind of woman."

Mia Townsend blushed slightly, "Sister Lucy, it was you who gave me strength. Without you, I wouldn’t have made that decision."

"Life is short, don’t let yourself suffer, do what you want, live life to the fullest, and don’t waste your time in this world."

These words were said for Mia Townsend, but weren’t they also for her own heart?

Having faced death once, she now knew what was most important.

She cautiously navigated this world, even though at present, Grace Hughes didn’t seem too threatening, but she dared not let her guard down, as Grace Hughes was never as simple as she appeared.

She knew Jacob Green had set a trap for Grace Hughes and would soon hear good news.

But for her, as long as Grace Hughes was alive, she would not rest.

She wanted her to die unwillingly after suffering every kind of earthly pain to quench her heart’s hatred.

After leaving Mia Townsend’s home, on the way to the hospital, the car radio’s national affairs channel was broadcasting the latest news.

"A few moments ago, the Presidential Mansion released the latest report on the marriage of the two princes. His Highness Arthur Bennett is marrying Flora Palmer of the Palmer Family, and His Highness Sophie Bennett is marrying Charles Sharp, the eldest grandson of the Sharp Family, both weddings to be held on June sixth..."

June sixth was only about half a month away.

She thought this news would be released on the day Elijah Sheppard released a new album, but it was delayed by a week.

Lucy could guess that it was because Charles Sharp took a few extra days to give a response.

That’s why it was announced today.

Otherwise, the President, being so anxious, wouldn’t have waited himself. This update is available on novel[f]ire.net

She also felt there might be a crisis in national affairs, which was why the President sought a political marriage to consolidate power, and they were looking for big financial group families.

At the hospital, Michael Paxton told her, "You have a package, I signed for it and left it on the table."

Lucy walked to the table, opened the package, and found it was an invitation.

Charles Sharp’s wedding invitation.

He didn’t know her exact address, so he had to send it to the hospital.

All the words on the invitation were in his handwriting.

Clearly only inviting her, without needing her husband to attend.

Even so, Lucy knew that at Charles Sharp’s wedding, Jacob Green would definitely attend because Charles would send him an invitation.

Thinking of this, when she got home from work and saw Jacob Green’s invitation, she was surprised.

Obviously both were Charles Sharp’s invitations.

Jacob Green’s invitation was a specially customized one, and the text on it was printed type.

Whereas hers was different in packaging and all handwritten by him.

Such preferential treatment.

Lucy didn’t take the invitation out of her bag but handed the invitation in her hand back to Jacob Green, "He also sent one to me, I received it at the hospital."

"I’m really happy to attend his wedding." Jacob was in an unusually good mood.

"Aren’t you worried about the alliance between Sharp Corporation, Palmer Corporation, and the Presidential Mansion one day suppressing Clan Green?"

"Though Green Headquarters is in Country Y, our focus isn’t Country Y, it’s the entire world, so I’m not worried at all."

"Today’s weather is really hot." Lucy walked towards the bathroom, "I’m going to take a shower."

When she came out after her shower, her expression changed, because Jacob Green was holding the invitation from Charles Sharp.

"Your phone rang, and when I got it, I saw his invitation to you is different from the one to me." Jacob’s eyes carried a deep, probing intent.

"Maybe because I’m privately friends with him, and you’re in a half-competitive, half-cooperative relationship with him?"

"Is that really so?" Jacob’s face lost its smile, "Why don’t I believe it? Why don’t I see the invitations to friends he usually hangs out with on his wedding day to see if they’re the same as yours?"

Lucy wasn’t guilty at all, "What are you trying to say?"

"Why are you hiding something from me?"

"Why do you think that is?" Lucy answered with a question.

"If I knew, would I need to ask you?"

"You’re so smart, could you not know?"

Jacob didn’t roundabout way of communicating. He wanted to know her true thoughts, but precisely because Lucy didn’t want to talk about it more, she was well aware that Jacob was incredibly petty when it came to matters of the heart.

If she were honest about this issue, he’d keep it at heart for many days without letting go.

So they stared each other down, both with wide-open eyes.

"Are you regretting marrying me?"

Lucy’s mind instantly went blank, how could he think that?

Jacob felt like his heart was pierced by needles, "So you’re guarding against it and leaving a place in your heart for Charles Sharp."

"Are you saying I’m keeping him as a backup?" Lucy pressed, "In your eyes, am I that kind of woman?"

"But that’s what you mean!"

Without waiting for Jacob to say anything further, she strode to the door, clearly not wanting to continue the conversation.

"Where are you going?"

"That’s none of your business."

Frustrated, Jacob rushed downstairs and just outside, saw her car pulling out of the garage, clearly intending to go out.

Driving, Lucy glanced at his figure through the rearview mirror, then refocused straight ahead.

At the entrance of the shop, a commotion could be heard from inside.

Upon entering, she saw James Foster in conflict with two male customers.

The two male customers shouted, "I won’t waste more words with you, get your boss over here!"
