Rebecca Quentin did not join in, remaining hidden in the crowd.
Isabella Joanna tossed the bouquet over her shoulder...
No one expected that the bouquet would land right in the arms of Alice Robinson, who was standing nearby and did not participate in the event...
In an instant, the scene exploded with excitent.
Alice Robinson seed a bit surprised as well, and when she saw so many reporters rush over to interview her, she shyly looked at Howard Geoffrey beside her.
Howard Geoffrey held Alice Robinson, always smiling silently.
Faced with the persistent pursuit of so many reporters, Alice Robinson finally had to say, "Please let us go, we are just here to attend the ceremony with Howard Geoffrey..."
Rebecca Quentin turned and headed toward the parking area at this mont.
With the wedding ceremony concluded, the drivers were already waiting there.
Rebecca Quentin walked up to the driver who had brought her, and the driver recognized her, speaking first, "Miss Quentin, it’s so lively over there, why are you leaving?"
"I’m not feeling well, I want to stay in the car for a while."
"Okay." The driver was very attentive and promptly opened the car door.
Rebecca Quentin sat inside the car and imdiately reached out to touch her stomach.
She wasn’t making an excuse about feeling unwell; her stomach genuinely hurt, perhaps because she hadn’t properly rested after flying today, and the baby in her belly was protesting a bit.
Rebecca Quentin leaned back against the seat and closed her eyes to relax for a mont. Gradually, the baby’s protest disappeared, and she unexpectedly fell asleep in the car.
Rebecca Quentin was awakened by the driver...
Getting out of the car, she felt a bit embarrassed and apologized, "I’m sorry, I actually fell asleep..."
The driver said, "I didn’t want to disturb you, Miss Quentin, but I was afraid you’d miss General Leonard and his wife’s wedding banquet..."
Rebecca Quentin looked around, only then realizing she had been driven back to the Leonard family villa, which was already lit with evening lights.
"What ti is it now?"
"It’s almost seven o’clock; the wedding banquet starts at seven-thirty."
Rebecca Quentin nodded slightly, "Alright, I’ll need to trouble you to wait here for a bit. I’ll go upstairs to change clothes and co down quickly."
"Okay."
Even though she might encounter awkward situations at the wedding banquet, since she ca to attend the wedding, her personal matters should not take precedence. It is necessary to give her blessings to the newlyweds.
After changing into a light purple gown, Rebecca Quentin took a car to the five-star hotel where Roger Leonard was hosting the wedding banquet.
Rebecca Quentin carried a VIP card and passed through security. Guided by the hotel waiter, she smoothly arrived at the banquet site.
Roger Leonard was already famous in the business world, so the banquet site had beco a gathering place for gentlen and elites from the political and comrcial sectors.
No need to ntion the romantic arrangent of the site, Rebecca Quentin found herself attracted by the crystal chandelier illuminating the entire banquet scene.
The faintly glowing lights from the chandelier made everyone feel like they were living in a fantasy...
Amidst the clinking of glasses and the fragrance of attire...
Rebecca Quentin maintained an elegant smile as she brushed past many guests and just as she stepped into the dance floor, she saw Roger Leonard and Isabella Joanna surrounded by people receiving blessings.
Rebecca Quentin promptly found a seat and sat down, watching them from afar.
A waiter brought her a glass of champagne, she said "Thank you," and just as she was about to take a sip, she seed to realize sothing and put the glass down promptly.
At this mont, Roger Leonard and Isabella Joanna were already on stage, being coaxed by those present to speak about their love story...
Rebecca Quentin listened carefully, seeming to be touched by their happiness and intoxicated by their love.
Suddenly, she heard so sounds by her ear...
She involuntarily turned her head towards the source of the sounds, and saw a dignified and elegant woman linking arms with a tall, handso man walking towards the dance floor.
Rebecca Quentin didn’t know these two people, she only felt they seed familiar, as if she had seen them sowhere before, judging by the minor commotion happening, it appeared they were people of considerable status.
Perhaps due to a mysterious sense of familiarity, Rebecca Quentin’s gaze inadvertently followed their figures.
No one expected that they would sit down at the table with Howard Geoffrey and Alice Robinson...
Indeed, when she sat at this spot earlier, she had already noticed Howard Geoffrey and Alice Robinson nearby...
Howard Geoffrey’s character has never been one to enjoy bustling scenes, so him sitting low-key with Alice Robinson in a dimly lit, unobtrusive spot is indeed consistent with his disposition.
