Chapter 3 Her Husband
The Olteran family spent a lot of money to have Noleman's famous designer personally customize Vera's wedding dress. This wedding dress was worth two million dollars, showing the Linister family respect.
Vera put on such an expensive wedding dress, but she didn't feel very happy.
She looked at herself in the mirror, with her acne gone and her beauty restored.
There was still some peach fuzz on Vera's face, and the flesh on her cheeks looked puffy, making her look young.
After all, she was only twenty years old.
Brianna walked into the room and waved for the makeup artist to leave, leaving only the two of them in the room.
"Vera, you shouldn't have agreed."
Vera smiled and reassured Brianna, "I suddenly find getting married quite interesting."
Brianna reached out and placed her hand on Vera's head, with a hint of self-blame in her eyes. She gently caressed Vera's face and asked, "Vera, what did Mr. Olteran Sr. say to you that day?"
Vera was stunned, thinking about what Shawn said that day!
"Vera, do you know the consequences of offending the Olteran family?" Shawn said that day.
Vera didn't say anything.
Shawn continued, "You know, and your eyes tell me that you are not afraid of offending the Olteran family. But have you considered your parents? What about your younger brother? You can't be so selfish. You must have heard of the Wallace Group, right?"
Vera widened her eyes, looking at Shawn in disbelief.
The Wallace Group used to be a century-old enterprise, known for its strength and solid backing by Donnicia's Zandonick. However, it went bankrupt within a day, and many of the company's executives ended up in jail, while those who fled overseas dared not return to the country.
The Linister family was nowhere near as formidable as the former Wallace Group. Vera couldn't help but wonder what fate awaited her family if he were to use the same method against them.
Vera involuntarily clenched her fists and spoke after a long while, "Sir, may I know why you chose me?"
Shawn laughed, his eyes full of wisdom. "It's a bit funny when you put it that way. I'll tell you when the time is right."
Vera nodded and said, "I hope that time won't be too long."
"Do you agree to marry Patrick?"
"My condition is that you don't harm my family. My parents worked hard to establish their business."
Coming back to her senses, Vera looked at Brianna's worried expression and pretended to smile happily, saying, "It's nothing! Mom, the Olteran family is actually quite good. Don't worry about me!"
In another room, Shawn pulled out a stack of documents and a USB drive. "Here is all the information you wanted."
When Patrick reached out to take them, Shawn pulled them back. "Come find me after your wedding is over."
Patrick was under Shawn's control. He stood up, put on his groom's suit, and pushed open the door.
A marriage officially began.
There were many guests on the wedding day.
The media were excluded. The Olteran family did not invite anyone without a certain status.
Patrick's marriage severed countless ties. He married the daughter of the Linister family, instantly making them the focus of attention.
In the bride's dressing room, Vera worried about the upcoming life.
The time had come.
She held her wedding dress and, wearing uncomfortable high heels, took step by step towards Warren, who awaited her. Looking at his slightly red eyes, Vera forcibly suppressed the pain in her heart.
The doors opened, and all the lights in the venue shone on her and Warren.
Vera walked on the petal-covered path, holding onto Warren's arm.
She glanced from afar at the man standing there waiting for her.
This was Vera's first time meeting Patrick, her husband.
