Chapter 696 Pick A Wedding
Officiant
When Maurice and Corbin left, it was only then that Sean let go of the struggling Nancy.
"Mrs. Moran, I'm sorry. I never want to offend you," Sean said sincerely. "But your son ordered me not to let you call for help, let alone ask Maurice to come over."
Nancy helplessly looked in the direction where Maurice had left. The hope in her heart was extinguished. She was so angry that she picked up the umbrella beside her and hit Sean fiercely.
Sean was concerned about Nancy's health, so he didn't fight back. In the end, he could only hide miserably after being hit several times.
Nancy only stopped when she felt tired. She put down the umbrella, panting.
"You're a man. Are you not ashamed of yourself for bullying an old woman?"
Sean was stunned for a moment. Who was bullying who?
He rubbed his aching arm and said aggrievedly, "I have no choice. I'm just doing my job. Who knows that my boss wants me to bully an elderly?"
Nancy had vented her anger by hitting Sean, so she was much calmer now. She could tell that he was not a bad person. Maybe she could try to save herself through him.
*Young man, how much do you earn in a month working for that bastard? How about I give you double? Just let me go." Sean was stunned when he heard this. He quickly calculated it.
It seemed a good deal. He could get more money.noveldrama
Nancy noticed that Sean wavered, and she wanted to take advantage of the situation. But before she could say or do anything, Gerald hurriedly came over.
His men had regained control of the situation.
Nancy became vigilant. She stared at Gerald and asked warily, "What are you going to do?"
"Of course, I'll take you away," Gerald said with a darkened face. "It seems that I have to move Dad to a moderate place. After all, your dear grandson has found this place so soon."
Nancy had an ominous premonition in her heart. Gerald must be plotting something to imprison them.
So she asked loudly, "Gerald, what on earth do you want to do to Maurice?"
Gerald smiled sinisterly. "Don't worry, Mom. You will know what I'm going to do on his wedding day."
Then he turned to his people and ordered, "Take her away!"
The wedding day was fast approaching. Fortunately, Eliana was getting better and better.
Everything seemed to be going well, except for one thing.
While looking at the guest list, Eliana made a request to Maurice again.
"Maurice, we are getting married soon, but we haven't seen your grandma yet."
Maurice was stunned for a moment. Then he quickly glanced at Silas at the side.
Silas immediately understood. He stepped forward and said, "Miss Pierce, Great-grandma took Great-grandpa abroad for a physical examination. She asked me to greet you for her."
"That's right. When Grandpa recovers, he can attend the wedding. You should just focus on preparing for our wedding." Maurice and Silas cooperated with each other to prevaricate again.
"By the way, the two elders are too old. It's probably impossible for them to be our wedding officiants. Have you ever thought about who can be our wedding officiant? Maurice asked to change the topic.
"This is indeed a problem."
Sure enough, Eliana began to think about it.
Maurice and Eliana thought about it for a while and began to imagine the scene where each person they had in mind officiated their wedding ceremony.
The first person they thought of was Rosamond.
In their imagination, Rosamond went up the stage to officiate their wedding. But after a few words, she might say, "What's the use of love? Why don't you focus on your career?" Then her unlucky son Huey suddenly made trouble again and was taken away by the bodyguards. In the end, the scene became very chaotic.
"No way!" Maurice exclaimed. He interrupted his own imagination with a dark face.
Then Eliana asked tentatively, "How about Nana?"
If it was Nana, they imagined something else.
During the wedding, Nana started to cry after saying a few words on the stage. Then suddenly, Corbin knelt down on one knee and proposed to her. But Corbin lost the engagement ring, so everyone started looking for it. It made the wedding chaotic too.
"Nana is... No, she can't be." Eliana gave up the idea decisively.
Then they thought of Eli
But instead of officiating their wedding, Eli took the microphone and confessed his love for Eliana on the spot, saying he wanted to snatch the bride.
"I disagree!" Maurice immediately vetoed the idea.
Immediately afterward, they excluded Corbin, who might be too nervous to speak. He might even stammer. They also removed the drunkard Brevard from their choices as he might go crazy on stage. They couldn't choose Wyatt too. He might display his affection for Nicole and take advantage of their wedding to publicize his restaurant. Jonathan was not an option either. He would only make sarcastic remarks and roar.
After careful consideration, Eliana and Maurice ended with only one person.
They believed that the most reliable officiant was none other than Nicole.
