Chapter 535 - 529: Blind Despite Open Eyes
At this instant, the family members of Faye Shepherd, who stood behind David Hale, were equally shocked and at a loss. As they were still reeling from this recent development, an exceptionally beautiful and seemingly perfect woman disembarked from behind a vehicle. After whispering words of comfort to Mr. Humphrey’s father, she aided him back into the vehicle.
“Uncle and Aunt, I’ll take care of everything here. Just relax with me,” Scholar Lewis softly reassured them before closing the car door. It must be said that Scholar Lewis today was an absolute head-turner. After lavishly freshening up, her figure became the center of everyone’s attention, causing a wave of astonishment. This beauty then timidly approached Mr. Humphrey and spoke softly.
“Husband, can you stop being angry, please? I was wrong, okay? If you go home obediently, I’ll do whatever you ask. See, we already have our marriage certificate. Can’t you just forgive me for this trivial matter? I can understand you trying to upset me by marrying someone else, but couldn’t you at least choose someone better?” Scholar Lewis said, her expression like that of a child caught stealing candies.
However, the words that came out of her mouth… especially towards the end when she glanced subtly at Faye Shepherd who stood behind Mr. Humphrey. Combined with her looks, dress sense, and the content of her words… it was an exquisite scene.
On hearing this, Daniel Pan and his companions, fully aware of the situation in play, nearly bit down on their own teeth in suppressed laughter. My god, this was a clear case of slaying the enemy! Just look at Faye Shepherd’s liver colored expression. What does it mean when she says “You could have at least chosen someone better to fake your marriage”?
Had it not been for the need to resolve matters without messing things up, they might have burst into laughter a long time ago looking at the ghastly expressions on Faye Shepherd’s face and her family. In the meantime, Mr. Humphrey could barely comprehend anything. A hard slap from his father had disoriented him earlier, then suddenly a stunning woman appeared calling him her husband, complete with a marriage certificate.
After saying that, under the wide-eyed stares of disbelief from everyone, Scholar Lewis carefully knelt down and gently picked up the two marriage certificates from the ground as though they were precious gems. From this action, anyone ignorant of the situation could tell how important the marriage certificate and what it represented were to Scholar Lewis.
But the big question is! Who could tell him what was happening?! Mr. Humphrey felt like he was going crazy. But before he could utter anything, there was a loud, approaching hum, followed by a new motorcade entering into the sight of everyone. If the previous motorcade displayed luxury, this one personified steadiness, mostly composed of rugged off-road, muscular vehicles such as the G65 model.
Not to mention the three Goddess of Light cars in the center, which made the entire scene look sophisticated rather than flashy, unlike other extravagant cars. Every appearance of a Goddess of Light car created a ripple among people. After all, the Goddess of Light cars no longer lacked recognition as these cars were only used by Finn Lewis and his family and not sold quote openly. No wonder, some people had offered as much as 20 billion Federal coin to buy these cars but were refused.
Wealth can break down walls, but can anyone truly surpass the world’s richest man, Finn Lewis? While some might argue that his wealth is only on paper and can’t compete with the riches of major conglomerates and powerful families, others say everyone has their own backing. Finn Lewis is no exception, and the fact that his foundation manages trillions of Federal coins is not a secret among the wealthiest circles of the world.
As Finn Lewis stepped out from his car, everyone was stupefied. No one had expected him to be at the scene. Finn Lewis was speechless after witnessing his sister’s high-stakes play. They all had an idea of how the situation escalated at the scene. The most interesting part was that Mr. Humphrey’s father wasn’t acting – he genuinely believed that his son had married Scholar Lewis.
Sure, Mr. Humphrey might have been a bit confused, but he wasn’t a fool. Today’s events were too paradoxical. His parents couldn’t have afforded a Quadriga, let alone another wife for him. But Finn Lewis appearing out of nowhere made everything clear. However, to Faye Shepherd’s family, Finn Lewis’s presence on the scene painted an entirely different picture.
This was utterly unbelievable! It’s been so long, and they hadn’t seen any contact between Mr. Humphrey and Finn Lewis. Importantly, Faye’s initially aim was to get close to Finn Lewis. Of course, she didn’t genuinely believe she could win him over. Aware of her social standing, she just intended to attract Finn Lewis’s circle of friends and brothers.
As the proverb goes, a billionaire’s friends are also billionaires. And if there’s an exception, it won’t be for long, provided they are on good terms. That was their intention. But who knew that Mr. Humphrey never contacted Finn Lewis from the beginning, to such an extent that Faye inspected his cellphone which did not even have Finn Lewis’s number. Over time, Faye was convinced that Mr. Humphrey and Finn Lewis were just ordinary schoolmates, which then led to the subsequent development. Unexpectedly, the situation was completely different than they had imagined, especially the appearance of Mr. Humphrey’s father just now, whose attire and composure completely astonished everyone on the spot.
