My ex-husband is seeking a second chance

Chapter 186

Tina and Manfred’s wedding was held at the Goldness Hotel under the Day Group.

The Day family was reputable in Nanston. Naturally, Albert would not be stingy with his son’s wedding. Moreover, Manfred’s marriage with Tina was a strong alliance, and Albert was happy to get a chance to win the support of the Woolery Group through Tina and Ralph.

Albert had invited the celebrities in Nanston and treated the wedding banquet as a business one. He’d like to take the opportunity to improve the Day family’s popularity.

This way, the position of the richest man in Nanston would be closer to him and within his easy reach.

What surprised Albert more was that the eldest son of the Males family in Machodean and the youngest son of the Parker family in Beaudale also accepted the invitation and would appear at the wedding banquet.

In fact, the Day family did not have a close relationship with those two families. Albert did not expect Marc and Lucas to be willing to come. He felt honored and thought that the Day family was no longer the same as before.

Anyway, Marc and Lucas always kept a low profile and rarely showed up in public.

Albert stood on the steps and was going to welcome them in person, afraid that the staff would be blind and offend them accidentally. That would be a great loss.

you so nervous? It’s not Mr. Brooke and Mr. William are here.”

“Dad, why are you

Manfred could not stand Albert’s flattering attitude and sneered.

Albert glared at him. “You know nothing! Mr. Marc is the heir of the Males family, and Mr. Lucas is Mr. William’s favorite youngest son. They represent the Males family and the Parker family. If our family can get the support of their families, it’s only a matter of time before we become Nanston’s richest family!”

Manfred scoffed at Albert’s words.

“The heir of the Males family? It sounds nice. But Marc is not Mr. Brooke’s biological grandson and is only his daughter’s son. There’s a bloodline gap. If it weren’t for the fact that there weren’t any outstanding descendants of the same age, Marc wouldn’t have been valued.

“Besides, everyone knows that Lucas was Mr. William’s January chick. Although Mr. William is doting on Lucas, most of the businesses of the Parker family have long been shared by Lucas‘ brothers. Now, Lucas is only running errands for Mr. William What’s there to be arrogant about?”

Albert looked at Manfred as if he was looking at a fool. His face was filled with disappointment, and he wished he could slap Manfred. However, on the account that today was Manfred’s wedding day, he endured it.

“Since others are all disappointing, then who is promising in your eyes? Is it you? At least Marc and Lucas can hold their own and make a name for themselves in the business world at such a young age. What about you? Other than the reported scandals, what else have you done? And other than angering me, what else can you do?”

Just as Manfred was going to retort indignantly, Ariella Day, Manfred’s mother, arrived in time. “Alright. It’s a big day. Why are you arguing again? Do you want to embarrass yourselves? Hurry up and go in. The wedding is about to start.”

Ariella pushed Manfred into the banquet hall. Albert was so angry that he had a headache. If he was still young enough, he would have had another child.

Manfred had obviously been a good–for–nothing. Albert wondered why he would have such a son.

The most distinguished guests were always the last to come.

Pearl and Lindsay arrived late. When they reached the hotel, Marc and Lucas happened to get there at the same time. They bumped into each other at the entrance.

Hey, what a coincidence.”

Lucas winked at Pearl Pearl pretended not to know him and was about to enter with Ind

Chapter 1st

Albert’s eyes lit up when he saw Marc and Lucas. He rushed down the stairs and almost bumped into Pearl and Lindsay if Pearl hadn’t pulled Lindsay aside in time,

“Mr. Males. Mr. Parker, I’ve been waiting for you for long. It’s my honor that you can take the time to attend my son’s wedding.”

Albert wanted to shake hands with Marc and Lucas, but no one paid attention to him. Instead, Marc and Lucas walked past him and walked up the steps. They frowned and asked Pearl with concern in unison.

“Are you okay? Did he hit you?”

Pearl pursed her lips slightly. “No.”

Albert’s hand maintained the same posture, and he retracted it awkwardly.

He turned around and smiled in embarrassment as if he had just discovered Pearl. “Pearl? It’s been so many years since we last met. I didn’t even recognize you. Sure enough, girls will change a lot after they grow up…

Albert walked toward Pearl and greeted her enthusiastically, but he was stopped by Marc and Lucas.

Marc’s eyes were cold. “Mr. Day, mind your words.”

Lucas face was filled with impatience. “Stop trying to get close to us. We’re not that close. Mr. Day, where can we place the cash gifts? Please lead the way.”

Marc and Lucas didn’t show much respect to Albert.

WaK

Albert was furious, but he did not dare to offend them. He could only swallow his anger and smile apologetically. He walked in the front and led the way, saying, “This way, please.”

He secretly wondered what kind of relationship Pearl had with Marc and Lucas.

Why were they so protective of her!

The seating arrangement at the wedding banquet was ‘meticulous“. In short, the principle was to make a difference between people from different backgrounds.

Those with honorable status had a seat at the main table in the front row, while those who were slightly inferior and not that important were at the tables far from the stage and near the door. Even desserts and drinks at every table were different, which made people feel uncomfortable.

Marc’s and Lucas‘ seats were naturally at the main table in the front row, However, Pearl and Lindsay, Tina’s family, were arranged at the table close to the door.

Pearl did not think that there was anything wrong with it. After all, she was here to watch the show. If she sat further away, it would be more convenient for her to see everything. So, she sat down with Lindsay calmly.

But Marc and Lucas were unhappy-

The reason why they came to the wedding was to spend more time with Pearl. Of course, they were not there for a meal. Now, how could they talk to Pearl when they were so far away?

At the table, few people knew Pearl and Lindsay. They thought that Pearl was a female celebrity or an Internet celebrity as she looked so good. They could not help but pay attention to her, and a bolder man even directly asked for her contact details.

“Miss, may I ask for your phone number or WhatsApp account? Facebook or livestream is also okay.”

Before Pearl could refuse, someone helped her. Mare and Lucas walked over and pushed the man away. They rejected him directly. “No.”

Lucas turned around and said to the waiter. “Give me a chair.”

Marc added, “Two”

The waiter was a little stunned.

Chapter 156

Mary and Lucas conversation attracted the attention of the guests around. Pearl was annoyed. “Can’t you stay away from me?”

Marc and Lucas replied in unison. “No.”

Albert’s face changed when he saw Mare and Lucas leave the main table to the last table where Pearl stayed. He was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. He quickly went over and invited Marc and Lucas to go back to the main table.

“No need. It’s fine sitting here.”

Lucas bit the pastry and crossed his legs, looking calm and leisurely. “Ive lived over twenty years and attended. banquets, but this is the first time I’ve been sitting so far away. It’s quite comfortable. Do you think so, Marc?”

Mare answered briefly. “Yes.”

Albert flattered and persuaded them for a long time and even wanted to kneel,

so many

When the guests saw the scene, they began to guess what kind of big shot was sitting at the last table

last table to make Albert so humble. They all gloated over Albert’s snobbish style and thought, “You treated the guests in such a different way and got things worse. Serves you right!

The emcee went on stage and announced the official start of the wedding. As the music sounded, the newlyweds appeared on slage.

Manfred was dressed in a white suit and looked handsome. Tina was wearing a white wedding dress, smiling and looking radiant. They seemed a match made in heaven.

Pearl’s attention was not on them. Instead, she glanced around the banquet hall indifferently and looked for her grandfather, but she did not see him

Just as she was about to retract her gaze, she suddenly noticed a man in gray, who was holding a tobacco pipe in his hand and squatting against the wall at the backstage entrance. He seemed to have listened to the music for a while and felt it boring, so he stood up and left.

Pearl suddenly stood up and chased after the man in gray.

Marc and Lucas looked over at the same time. What was going on?
