Chapter 875 Announcing His Will
There was nothing Jane said that seemed to wipe off the smile on Savannah’s face. She had a beautiful smile that moved the hearts of everyone who saw it. “Why does it matter whether he’s the heir of the family? The person I’m marrying is Jason, not the heir of the Murray Family. I’m not doing this for money or power—I’m doing it for Jason.”
Selena’s eyes twinkled with admiration as she looked at the girl in the bridal gown. The way she speaks is so calm and assertive. She’s just too gorgeous! Moreover, she accomplished so much with such little effort—she completely defeated Jane just with that smile of hers!
At that point, Jane no longer knew how to respond to Savannah. “I hope the both of you grow old together, then,” she finally muttered.
“Thank you!” Savannah beamed.
One of Jane’s friends hastily comforted her after they all left the room. “There’s no need to get angry. You can’t let a mere villager like her get on your nerves! I think she’s just an idiot. She probably doesn’t even know what an heir is.”
“I totally agree! Did you guys see her face? She was trying so hard to act calm, but she probably didn’t even understand what we were talking about!” another one of Jane’s friends said.
Their words didn’t do much—Jane was still furious over the incident. I can’t believe I lost to some poor woman from the countryside! Even though I didn’t think Jason would manage to find a girl prettier than me, I still expected him to get married to someone who’s from a wealthy family. At least they’d appear to be an elegant couple. I can’t believe he chose to marry a poor village girl, one with such a sharp tongue at that.
Savannah heaved a loud sigh after the guests left. “I didn’t say anything wrong, did I?” she asked as she turned toward Selena.
Selena shook her head. “No. You were amazing. I was worried that you might have felt intimidated by those women.”
“If my guess is correct, the woman who was standing in front—the prettiest in the group—was the woman who was previously engaged to Jason, right?” Savannah asked.
“Yeah. That’s her. Her name is Jane, and she’s the youngest and brattiest daughter of the Oberlin Family,” Selena uttered.
“I see. That’s probably why she acted that way,” Savannah said with a nod.
“You’re amazing. Jane is known to be a venomous and ill-natured woman, yet you seem to have shocked her after uttering a few sentences. She really deserves a lesson. A woman like her is undeserving of Jason!” Selena finally expressed her true feelings about the situation. “I was so worried about you earlier. I was worried that they would’ve scared you. How are you feeling now?”
“I’m feeling fine. I’m not a scaredy-cat! We’re all women, anyway; it’s not as if they have two mouths or eight legs, right?” Savannah chuckled.
Selena’s impression of Savannah changed after this incident—she no longer thought of Savannah as a coward. “You’re going to encounter a lot of similar issues in the future, Savannah. I’m sure you understand the sort of man that you’re marrying and the social circles that you will be involved in from now onward. You’ll have to be prepared—you’re going to bump into those women again someday.”
Despite Selena’s concerns, Savannah didn’t seem too troubled by the women. “I came across this quote recently, ‘the one who wishes to wear the crown will also have to bear its weight.’ I love Jason, and I accept all of the duties that I’ll have to bear once I become his wife. It’ll be fine. People from my village believe that there is a solution to every problem we face.”
Selena patted Savannah on her shoulder. “That’s what I’m talking about!” she cried happily.
…
The wedding ceremony began on time that night, and the whole event proceeded smoothly. Savannah’s performance was near-perfect the whole night. All of the guests found themselves envious of Jason when they saw the pleasant and kind look on his wife’s face. They couldn’t believe that he managed to find himself such a graceful and angelic-looking woman.
However, there were still a few sour faces in the crowd. After the couple exchanged their vows, the emcee called for Jerry up onto the stage to give his blessings to the newlyweds.
Jerry patted Jason and Savannah on their shoulders once he got onto the stage. He began his speech once he got hold of the mic. “I’m sure the couple has heard a good number of blessings today. I hope that my grandson and granddaughter-in-law will remain deeply in love with each other for the rest of their lives, and I’d like to celebrate the night by giving Jason a gift. I’m going to announce my will tonight.”
The crowd gasped in surprise. Jerry is about to announce his will in front of the public! But didn’t Jerry announce that he was going to transfer most of his shares to Selena? Wouldn’t he embarrass Jason if he were to announce this right now?
