Chapter 46: A Wedding That Attracted the Attention
In the evening, Caroline dragged her tired body home.
Max's home, to be exact.
If Max hadn't taken her in, Caroline would have been sleeping on the streets now.
Pushing open the door, Caroline had just put the key down, and Max ran out of the bedroom in a black shoulder salute and turned around in front of her.
The broad mind is more and more surging under the "support" of the slim dress.
"Oh buy karma!"
Caroline covered her mouth in surprise.
"It's a limited edition of Chanel this fall, and you're just going to be beautiful when you wear it."
Max glanced down.
Of course, she must not be able to see her feet, she is looking at the dress on her body.
There is no prominent label or logo, how did Caroline recognize that it was Chanel?
"Because I only have one in my closet, but unfortunately when they kicked me out, they only allowed me to take three worthless things."
Caroline reluctantly spread her hands and explained.
Max nodded.
Well, she almost forgot that Caroline was the daughter of a billionaire just over a week ago.
"So—" Caroline pointed to Max's gown, "are you going to someone's wedding?" ”
For example, an ex-boyfriend.
But this Caroline didn't dare to say.
Max snapped his fingers triumphantly.
"Half right, I was invited to a wedding, but it was actually to make money. I only need to make some cupcakes on the spot and I can easily get $100,000. ”
Caroline frowned.
"Didn't that employer just give birth to a pair of lovely twins? Going to remarry so soon? ”
Max waved his hand, indicating that it had nothing to do with Pikey.
It's Serena's mom who is getting married.
Caroline's expression froze instantly.
Max was invited to Serena's mother's wedding.
It's even harder to accept than telling her that her father's bankruptcy is just an April Fool's joke.
——
The time quickly came to the wedding day.
Max was picked up by car early in the morning, and Caroline could only wipe the table in the dining room while watching the rolling broadcast of the wedding on the Westar News on television.
Neither Serena's mother, Lily, nor Chuck's father, Bart Bass, actually wanted to be so public.
However, the identities of the two, one is the daughter of the Vanderwoodson family, a representative of New York socialese, and the other is a ten-billion-dollar real estate tycoon.
The combination of the two sides is difficult not to be noticed by the outside world.
Not to mention the hundreds of guests who were invited to the wedding of the two, and their identities were either rich or noble, all of them were famous celebrities.
Westar News has been given the exclusive rights to broadcast the wedding because Logan Roy, the owner of WestarMedia Group, and his newly married third wife, Marcia, are also on the list of invited guests.
And both have confirmed that they will attend the wedding.
The originally peaceful town, because of this wedding, suddenly poured in tens of thousands of tourists, including paparazzi reporters who tracked down from New York.
To ensure that these individuals do not interfere with the privacy of the couple and guests.
The Federal Aviation Administration announced that the town will be banned from 3 p.m. on Saturday for eight hours, and major land roads will be closed from 4 p.m. to midnight.
That's why the vast majority of wedding guests fly in directly from New York by helicopter.
The live television showed only those guests who were willing to show up, and even when Logan Roy, the owner of Westar Media, arrived, the camera only captured his back as he stepped out of the helicopter.
However, it was clearly mentioned in the news that all the Roy family was present this time.
Including Logan's ex-wife, a woman from a noble family with the same name as Caroline.
and Logan's third wife, Marcia, who was an executive at Westar Media Group before marrying Logan.
In addition, Logan had the eldest son with his first wife, Connor.
He had a second son Kendall, a third daughter, Sif and a younger son, Roman.
Of the four heirs of the Roy family, Roman, the youngest, has just turned eighteen this year, and he is also the one Caroline knows best.
Because Roman also attended college at the Wharton School, he was in the same class as Caroline.
Unfortunately, on TV, Caroline did not see the former classmate, but saw the person she least wanted to see.
As the daughter of the bride Lily, an iconic figure of New York's new generation of celebrities, Serena in an elegant bridesmaid dress will be the focus of the camera wherever she goes.
And Jamie, who was by Serena's side and wore a tailoring suit, was much more low-key.
Many times he actively avoids the camera, and only shows up when Serena needs a male companion to accompany him.
For example, when Serena's grandmother Sisi arrived, Serena pulled Jamie to greet her.
Serena's three generations of family have super good genes, Sissi was a big beauty when she was young, and now she is over 60 years old and still has extraordinary style and charm.
It's no wonder that Serena often laughs at Jamie, who is the ugliest of the three generations of the Vanderwoodson family.
After meeting Sissi in person, and having a brief conversation and contact with her, Jamie finally believes that his girlfriend is really not in the high-class Versailles.
Sissi also has a very good impression of Jamie.
This affection is even greater than that of today's groom, Bart Bass, the husband of his daughter Lily.
Jamie is not only handsome, tall, and tough.
The key family background is also very good.
Although Vanderwoodson is an old money family that has been passed down for generations, Sissi does not look down on the Dutton family, who are the emperors of Montana.
After all, he controls the largest ranch in the United States, and as long as John Dudton is willing to sell the ranch, he can easily surpass Bart Bass in value.
The premise is that someone has to come up with tens of billions of funds to buy.
In addition to this, Jamie's personal ability is also very good.
At a young age, he wrote a best-selling novel in the United States, and at the same time came up with a start-up idea like WeHouse.
In all respects, she is the best partner for Serena.
After saying goodbye to Sissi, Jamie and Serena step out of the live TV camera.
Finally, he no longer has to pay attention to his appearance all the time, which makes Jamie breathe a sigh of relief.
However, the thought of having to be Bart's best man later, Jamie was a little distressed.
Fortunately, Lily and Bart are the protagonists later, and the camera will not fall on him all the time.
The two of them went to the table, which was filled with all kinds of small snacks that Max had carefully baked.
Serena took a cupcake directly, took a bite and nodded, and gave a thumbs up to Max, who was chatting with a handsome waiter with a glass of champagne not far away.
Not only Serena, but many guests who have tried cupcakes are attracted by its unique taste.
These cupcakes became the most popular dessert on the pre-wedding table.
Equally popular is Max himself.
Although this slightly chubby plump figure does not grow very long in Jamie's aesthetic point, in fact, Max is the favorite of most men in Europe and the United States.
In the few minutes that Jamie and Serena had been standing at the table to get their food, several men had already stepped forward to talk to Max.
After all, being able to appear at Lily and Bart's wedding scene, and wearing an expensive dress, is definitely not ordinary.
I guess no one could have imagined that Max's real identity was just a waitress in a Brooklyn restaurant.
Even the live TV footage of Westar News focused on Max.
Although it only glanced in that direction, it was still captured by the crowd in front of the TV in the Williamsburg restaurant in Brooklyn.
"Max, I see Max!"
Earl, an old black man with a pair of headphones around his neck, dances excitedly behind the cash register.
Caroline and Asian-American boss Han Lee ignored him.
Caroline knew that Max would be there at the wedding, while Li Han looked at the TV screen with an incredulous face.
Not because of Max, but the man who was trying to strike up Max when the camera flashed by.
Li Han knows this guy.
His name is James McGill, he calls himself Jimmy, and he is a lawyer.
Two days ago, Li Han encountered some legal problems because of the operation of the restaurant and needed to find someone to consult, and I happened to see the contact information of Jimmy Law Firm on the free matchbox.
So Li Han called Jimmy, and after being fooled, he not only paid the other party more than $2,000 in consulting fees, but also signed a legal counsel contract with the other party.
The ghost knows that a broken restaurant that has been taken down from the hands of the woolly bear gang is enough to feed a few employees, and it still needs to hire an additional legal adviser, and his brain is somewhat sick!
Li Han told the rest of the restaurant about it, and everyone agreed that he had been deceived by that Jimmy.
Although being ridiculed is already an indispensable daily routine for the short Li Han, who is obviously Korean, he is often mistaken for Chinese, but Li Han insists that he has not been deceived this time.
This Jimmy knows a lot of big names and is also a legal counsel for a promising new company.
Although no one has heard of WeHouse.
Including Carolyn, the daughter of a former Wall Street predator, a Wharton dropout who said there was no such company at all.
But Li Han insisted on his own opinion, and said that WeHouse's customers are all wealthy people in high society, including the founders, who are all famous rich sons and daughters on the Upper East Side.
Now Caroline is even more sure that Li Han has been deceived.
Unless the company was founded recently, there's no way Caroline didn't know.
However, at this moment, Jimmy appears in the TV camera.
Unless he sneaked into the wedding scene by himself, and the probability of this happening is almost zero.
So everything Jimmy told Li Han was true.
This discovery made Li Han excited.
At this moment, as the guests arrived one after another, everyone was slowly gathering towards the wedding ceremony.
When Jimmy saw Jamie, he immediately gave up accosting Max and walked briskly over to this side.
Seeing that he was about to meet up with Jamie, he suddenly killed someone halfway and wanted to shake Jamie's hand first.
"Hi, I'm Roman Roy, I'm sure you've heard my name, right?"
