Chapter: 2027
The atmosphere reached a peak when Royce and his daughter Tylor made their entrance, adding a touch of glamour to the lively scene.
Bettie's father, Corless, was quick to welcome them with open arms.
“Mr. Nelson, it's an honor to have you join us today!" he exclaimed with genuine enthusiasm.
Royce, ever the diplomat, responded with grace, “Thank you, Mr. Ramirez. There's no need for formalities. It's a joy to be part of such a special day. Congratulations to Bettie and Lance."
"Much appreciated", Mr. Nelson, Corless replied, visibly pleased by the exchange.
Royce then turned slightly, introducing his daughter. "And this is my daughter, Tylor."
As Corless's gaze shifted to Tylor, he encountered a cool and somewhat distant demeanor.
Tylor, tall and elegant, surveyed the scene with an air of detachment, her eyes briefly meeting Corless' with a hint of cool assessment.
Recalling the reason for this urgent wedding, Corless offered a warm smile. “Miss Nelson, it's a pleasure. You have your father's grace!"
However, Tylor seemed uncomfortable with the bustling environment.
"It's quite loud here. I think I'll head inside," she said briskly, and without waiting for a response, she moved toward the quieter recesses of the venue.
Corless was left momentarily speechless.
"Mr. Ramirez, please forgive my daughter. She tends to be a bit forthright, which can be troublesome at times," Royce said apologetically.
"I admire her directness," Corless responded.
Royce was momentarily lost for words, appreciating the gracious response.
"Mr. Nelson, please, this way." Corless then ushered Royce and Tylor toward their seats, eager to move past the awkward introduction.
Meanwhile, Sabrina had secured a prime spot close to the stage. She was engaged in a lively video chat with Jennie, showing off the wedding decorations through her camera lens.
"Wow, it's so beautiful!" Jennie exclaimed from the other end of the call, her voice filled with excitement. "I wish I could be there."
“It's okay. When you get back, I'll take you to see Bettie’s new home. It's a villa worth one hundred million dollars. It's quite spectacular!"
“No way! I can't wait to see it! Sabrina, when is the ceremony starting?" Jennie asked, her curiosity piqued.
