Isla Astir continued, "Ms. Lee, at four in the morning someone will come to wake you up. You should get some rest first. If you need anything, just ask the servants outside. The house has been busy lately, so if there's any area where the hospitality is lacking, I hope you can understand." "Alright, thank you." Melissa Lee and her two apprentices saw Isla Astir out to the door. After Isla left, Annie remarked, "I didn't expect Winer to look even more stunning in person than in her promotional photos!" She nearly didn't recognize her. Shur nodded, "It's a pity she doesn't wear makeup. If she did, she'd surely look even more breathtaking." Melissa also agreed with her apprentices' opinions, then added, "Alright, alright, let's stop chatting. Go wash up and sleep! You need to be up by four tomorrow morning." Isla Astir headed back downstairs. Seeing her return, Mary Perryne smiled and asked, "Did you escort the guests to their rooms?" Isla Astir nodded lightly, "Yes." At this moment, Mary seemed to recall something, furrowing her brows, "Why haven't the bridesmaids arrived yet?" There were a total of six bridesmaids. Chapters first released on NoveI[F]ire.net They were Flora Tiarks, Diana Hershey, Fiona Knight, and Bella Windham. Initially, Viola Thompson had only selected four bridesmaids. The other two bridesmaids were added later. One of them was Thompson Clan's head from Ewik Land, Thompson! The other was Alice James. After learning that Viola Thompson was getting married, the two of them vied to be her bridesmaids. Thompson wanted to repay Viola for saving her life. She also wanted to see just who her benefactor was marrying. And whether he was truly worthy. That was why she's here. She also represented Ewik Land's support for Viola. Alice, on the other hand, simply wanted to have fun! She had never been anyone's bridesmaid before. Being a bridesmaid is not a trivial matter—for those in her social circle, doing it poorly could tarnish one's reputation. As such, whenever a friend got married, Alice's desire to be a bridesmaid was always vetoed by her parents. But when Alice brought up being Viola's bridesmaid, not only did her parents not oppose it, they wholeheartedly agreed. After all, it was Viola Thompson! Being Viola's bridesmaid was something they could proudly boast about. This would surely become a monumental chapter in addition to Alice's life story. Isla Astir followed up, "Samuel and Edward are each heading to the airport to pick them up." Apart from Diana Hershey, Fiona Knight, and Flora Tiarks, the other bridesmaids all required a personal pickup. And their arrival times were staggered. Naturally, as the bride-to-be, Viola Thompson couldn't personally go to the airport, so Samuel Thompson and Edward Thompson were instructed to do so instead. Mary Perryne glanced towards the door and commented, "That shouldn't affect the morning robe photoshoot, right?" The schedule here was set—makeup at four o'clock, and morning robe photoshoot at five. Upon hearing this, Isla Astir replied with a reassuring smile, "Don't worry, Mom. It won't affect anything." Mary Perryne nodded, "That's good." As the mother-in-law wrapped up her remarks, Lillian Perryne walked over with a curious expression, "Big Sis, it seems your son-in-law is something special! He even invited Ms. Lee as a guest!" Mary gave Lillian a glance and responded, "There are many things you wouldn't have imagined." "What else?" Lillian's curiosity deepened. Mary smiled slyly without answering. Elena Williams and Penny Kalafatis also became curious and walked over, "Big Sis, don't keep us in suspense! Just tell us already—what else is there?" Only then did Mary languidly begin to speak, "Do you know about Mr. Terrence?" Who didn't know about Mr. Terrence? He was truly an elite, standing at the pinnacle of society. Elena narrowed her eyes, a trace of disbelief showing. "Big Sis, you're not suggesting...?" "Terrence—Terrence is Mr. Terrence, right?" Upon hearing this, everyone turned their shocked gazes towards Mary. Lillian couldn't help but chuckle, "Big Sis, stop joking!" How could Mr. Terrence have any association with a good-for-nothing? Before Mary could say anything, Lillian added, "Mr. Terrence even has Mr. Auld as his best man! Who does your young Terrence have as his groomsmen?" Elena chimed in, "I also heard he has Derek Simpson, the renowned chemistry expert." Lillian, naturally aware of this, began counting on her fingers, "And Lusto Country's Duke." Mary chuckled and responded, "It seems no matter what I say now, you wouldn't believe me. Just wait till they arrive to pick up the bride; then you'll understand." Lillian appeared to have thought of something else and continued, "I also heard that Mr. Terrence's wedding would be held in Love City, the place he single-handedly established. Could it be that Terrence's wedding is in Love City too?"
