Chapter 1327:
Dalton’s presence as a groomsman becthe talk of the town, with a video of the event soaring to the top of
social media trends.
Brenna stood gracefully beside her parents, listening as her uncle delivered heartfelt blessings while presenting
the gifts to the Richardsons.
Lilith, radiant in an exquisite wedding gown, couldn't help but marvel at the grandeur surrounding her. Turning to
Ernst, she whispered, “I thought we agreed to keep things simple. This feels far from low-key!”
Ernst chuckled softly, his eyes twinkling with affection. “This is low-key, my love. We invited only my closest
friends, no extended family or my parents’ acquaintances. Isn't that modest enough?”

Lilith’s smile widened, her heart full. “Then what would you call extravagant?” she teased.
“Picture this. A ceremony at a five-star hotel, all of Shirie’s elite in attendance, celebrating our love in grand
style, withswooping in by helicopter to pick you up.”
Lilith’s eyes widened, a laugh escaping her lips. “A helicopter? That's beyond my wildest dreams!”
Glancing at the towering pile of gifts, she felt a wave of awe. “How much did all this cost?”
Ernst, ever cheerful, replied, “Almost twenty million dollars. You wanted understated, so we scaled it back. My
father suggested a budget of more than a hundred million.”
“Oh my God!” Lilith exclaimed, her breath catching. Though accustomed to Ernst’s lavish gifts in the millions, the
sheer magnitude of this amount still left her utterly astounded.
“I hope you like this,” Ernst said softly, his voice brimming with sincerity. At the moment of the engagement ring
exchange, Ernst gently slipped a dazzling diamond ring onto Lilith’s finger, his touch tender.
Lilith, in turn, placed a ring on Ernst’s finger, sealing their bond with quiet grace. The celebration continued as
the guests made their way inside the Richardsons’ hand chatted.
Rosie lingered near Brenna during the ceremony, a subtle pang of envy tugging at her heart. Her wedding to
Maxley paled in comparison to this opulent affair, and the joy she had hoped for that day had felt fleeting at
best.
In Rosie's view, Lilith seemed an unsuitable match for Ernst, their family backgrounds worlds apart. How could
someone like Lilith be worthy of such grandeur?
What had Lilith done to earn this cascade of wealth, sprawling estates, and sleek luxury cars that now elevated
her to the pinnacle of high society? Rosie noticed neighbors capturing the spectacle, streaming it live across
social platforms.
The Richardsons’ extended family filled their spacious 200-square-meter hwith warmth and chatter as
everyone gathered to celebrate the occasion.
For lunch, the Richardsons hosted a modest yet heartfelt gathering in a charming banquet hall at a five-star
restaurant. Without a formal ceremony, the focus remained on shared moments and the meal.
Compared to the Harper's lavish display, the Richardsons felt their arrangements were understated. Lilith’s
father, with a touch of awkwardness, offered an apology to Shepard.
“Shepard, | hope you'll forgive the simplicity of our plans...”
