Chapter 53: The Wedding (11) The Walker Family's Generous Bride Price
"In my lifetime, I will only marry Gianna, and she will be the only woman for me." Kingsley's voice was clearly not loud, yet it seemed to be heard by the entire ballroom.
It was a shock.
Gianna's heart fluttered inexplicably at that moment.
Although she knew that everything was just a show, she was really overwhelmed by Kingsley's confession.
She could only be glad that she had lived 32 years.
If she were 22 years old now, maybe she would have been really touched by Kingsley.
She also had to say that after Kingsley's reminder, she suddenly realized that Caesar was really worthless.
Caesar, of course, was embarrassed by Kingsley's sarcastic remark.
It was obvious that Kingsley was just an uneducated dude, but he suddenly had so many achievements.
Even the things that Caesar had worked so hard to get for so many years, Kingsley just seemed to get them with ease.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became inside.
He was the Best Man of Kouby City. How could he possibly accept that he was outclassed by others like this?
But what else could he do if he didn't accept it?
What Kingsley said was all true, and he simply could not refute it.
He suppressed his anger. Kingsley still maintained his modesty and elegance and asked Joanna politely, "Madame Morris, is there anything else you are not satisfied with?"
Joanna was also dumbfounded by Kingsley's words.
Who would have thought that such a man with such a bad reputation would have such a glorious day!
Some people still did not react and were frozen in place.
Kingsley was really gorgeous when he smiled, "Since there is no more, I am going to take Gianna to get a marriage certificate."
Marriage certificate?
Gianna was stunned.
At the time, although she didn't say so, she acquiesced that they wouldn't get a marriage certificate.
It was fine to have a wedding, and it was fine to announce to the public that they were married, but there should be no legal effects involved.
So when the time came for them to separate, there would be no need for so many formalities.
Yet now ...
Gianna kept quiet.
Maybe, Kingsley also just deliberately said it to others.
The moment he finished, he wrapped his arms around her and intended to leave.
"Wait!" Joanna suddenly called them again.
Gianna could barely contain her emotions.
Kingsley, however, remained calm and asked, "Madame Morris, is there anything else you want to say?"
"Marriage is not a matter for two people, but for two families. There is no agreement between the elders, and you just rush to get the marriage certificate. Do you have any sense of family?" Joanna was still trying to stop them.
Now, it seemed that she couldn’t control Gianna anymore.
But Gianna couldn't disobey her parents' wishes, right? No matter how terrific Kingsley had just been, ultimately he had a bad reputation before, and it was hard for him to just change everyone's opinion of him, so Gianna's parents couldn't possibly agree. Plus, would Kingsley's parents agree that Kingsley was so abrupt in marrying Gianna? They couldn't possibly have any opinion.
Kingsley nodded and seemed to agree with what Joanna said, "Madame Morris, you're right. I was the one who was reckless."
Hearing Kingsley say this, Joanna thought she had gotten her way and couldn't help but have a hint of arrogance on her face.
At the next second…
In the matter of marriage, it is indeed the Walker family's fault for not coming to the door to propose marriage and not giving the bride price in advance. I'd like to make an apology." It was Cameron who spoke.
He and his wife, Caroline, came on stage together and said politely.
Joanna had to pay due respect to the head of the Walker family. Her tone was noticeably softer, "Cameron, don't blame me for stopping them. The matter of marriage is not a child's play. I don't want to make a big mistake and make us enemies instead of in-laws. Then the loss would outweigh the gain."
"Madame Morris, you are absolutely right. Marriage is not a child's play, and can’t be treated so casually. So, it just so happens that in front of all the guests, I'm presenting the bride price of the Walker family." Cameron said. Obviously, he had prepared for it, " Norton."
"Yes, Master Morris," A middle-aged man respectfully stepped forward.
He took out a list to everyone and read in a loud voice, "Today, Kingsley, the son of the Walker family, marries Gianna, the daughter of the Morris family, and hereby prepares the bride-price as follows: first, a cash gift of eighty-eight million yuan; second, a high-class residential building in Phoenix Bay under the Walker Group Real Estate; third, a million-yuan car; fourth, a gift of five percent of the original shares of the Walker Group to Gianna as premarital property."
Everyone on the scene was really shocked.
The previous three were also worth a lot of money, but none of them could justify the gift of the original shares.
As the top of the Four Families and the richest family in the country, the Walker Group had a market value of hundreds of billions. Five percent of its shares would have been worth more than $2 billion. But this was not the point. The point was that they were gifting the shares of Walker Group that only members of the Walker family could own. Yet they just gave it to Gianna as her premarital property. Didn't this highlight Gianna's status in the Walker family?
No one could refuse this sincere offer.
So after the butler finished reading the bride price list, Cameron said enthusiastically to Gianna's parents who had also arrived on stage, "Alexander, do you think the bride price is reasonable? If you have any dissatisfaction, please feel free to mention it."
How dare they be dissatisfied!
When Gianna and Caesar got married, the Kennedy family not only didn't give them any money but also made them give their family 2 billion.
Now the Walker family was asking them in all sincerity.
How could they possibly say no!
What was more, Alexander glanced at Gianna. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
He was asking her with his eyes if this was all her arrangement.
Actually, no.
She never wanted to ask Kingsley's mom and dad to help them with the show, and she never wanted to alert them to help her either
But when it came down to it, she couldn't think about it that much.
She nodded at her parents.
Alexander was a little helpless after all.
He had thought his daughter was just repenting her marriage, but he didn't expect her to get married again.
Kingsley seemed good and had some achievements, but after all ...
Forget it.
Since Gianna was determined, he would of course support her unconditionally.
He smiled warmly, "Cameron, you are so gracious. We have not prepared a dowry, but you have given so much bride price."
"Not much. This is the way we should do it. Besides, Gina is so much better than Kingsley." Cameron said sincerely, "My son is lucky to have married your daughter!"
"I won't allow you to belittle my son-in-law like that!" Alexander pretended to be angry.
Cameron couldn't help but rejoice, "You're giving your consent for them to get married."
"Can I disagree? You've come this far. Won't you kill me if I don't agree? Besides, marriage is a matter for the children themselves. As long as they are happy, how are we qualified to tell them what to do?"
His words made Joanna even more embarrassed.
She originally wanted them to oppose the marriage, but she didn't expect that the two families would agree immediately, and the marriage was just settled.
