I blinked in surprise, but the tall man stepped forward, bowed slightly, and said calmly:]
“Madam, please don’t be alarmed. Mr. Julian sent me to ensure your safety. Please enjoy your
coffee.”
With that, he grabbed Sekar from the floor and walked out.
t.0
That evening, Julian returned and angrily scolded Henry.
But what surprised me more was what Julian brought back–a wedding dress.
He said it was for our wedding ceremony.[]
This wasn’t an ordinary dress.]
The craftsmanship was exquisite, and the intricate crown was actually a genuine antique that he’d had someone purchase.]
Julian pulled me into his arms and said softly.[]
“Vivian, let’s get married..I don’t want to wait anymore. I’m scared–scared someone will hurt you, scared I’ll lose you again.“]
As he spoke, he shot warning glances in Henry’s direction.
On our wedding day, Julian flew in tens of thousands of roses.
Ten helicopters circled above the estate, raining petals down like snow.
From start to finish, the entire estate was filled with sweet, romantic fragrance.
That day, nearly every influential family in New York appeared.]
Luxury cars stretched along the mountain road for over a mile.]
Henry drank himself into a stupor, sobbing uncontrollably all night.
The day after the wedding, Henry voluntarily requested to be transferred overseas to supervise operations.
While we were discussing this, a commotion erupted outside.
Sekar had come to confront Henry.
She burst into the living room and fell to her knees before Anne.
“Anne, you have to help me! I’m pregnant with Henry’s child, and now he won’t marry me!“]
“My family in Indonesia has strict views about chastity–if they find out, they’ll disown me. If Henry won’t take responsibility, I’d rather die right now!”
She rushed toward the wall to bash her head against it, but servants grabbed her just in time.[]
Before we could react, a crowd of reporters pushed through the door, cameras flashing[]
“Anne, do you oppose your son marrying an Indonesian woman?”
“Mr. Henry, are you refusing to marry Sekar because of her background?“]
“Sekar claims she’s descended from Indonesian royalty, but has now lost her status–are you running away because she’s no longer from nobility?“[]
“Mr. Henry, Sekar says you promised to marry her and even broke your engagement with Miss Vivian for her–now you’ve changed your mind. Have you always only loved her royal bloodline?“]
Julian spoke up seriously from the side:[]
“The Carter family keeps its promises. We never judge based on family background. It’s just that I just had my wedding–Henry’s wedding needs time to arranger-
The truth gradually became clear…]
Sekar wasn’t royalty at all. In fact, she came from an extremely ordinary background.[]
She had one brother and two sisters. Her mother once delivered horse feed to the Indonesian royal palace–that was it.[]
That’s how Sekar learned some details about court life.[]
The so–called royal ring? Her mother had stolen it from the palace, which was why she lost her job.]
Sekar only came to New York on a government–funded scholarship for impoverished students.]
From her first day in New York, she’d fabricated an elaborate story about being a visiting Indonesian princess “experiencing life” abroad–just to attract a wealthy husband.
She was lively, friendly, and outgoing–not because it was her nature, but because it was her strategy.]
Finally, after her dramatic outburst and emotional blackmail, Anne sighed deeply and publicly agreed to arrange a wedding for Henry and Sekar.]]
After the marriage, Sekar wasted no time showing off.
She paraded around the estate draped in layers of jewelry, flaunting her two–month pregnancy bump while screaming at the servants.]]
Whenever anyone showed dissatisfaction, she’d hysterically throw herself on the floor, wailing that no one respected her and she might as well be dead.]]
I moved to Julian’s penthouse apartment, far from the drama.
Unfortunately, Henry and Anne had to deal with the aftermath.]
