On August 8th, the long-awaited wedding of Zayne and Kairi was about to begin.
Kairi and Xion, who were staying in the Elms family villa, woke up early at five o’clock in the morning.
The makeup artist, arranged by Jasmine, arrived on time to start working on their makeup.
Meanwhile, Zayne, who was at the Shangri-La hotel, was also up and getting ready.
As per the traditional wedding custom, he had to get dressed in his groom’s attire and then proceed to pick up the
bride along with his best man and the wedding car team.
Since the wedding was kept a secret, Zayne only invited his son Fitz to be his best man.
Fitz was thrilled that his father had found true love, and readily agreed to his request.
At five o’clock sharp, Charlie’s wedding team had already tied up the bouquets and was waiting downstairs at the
Shangri-La Hotel.

Meanwhile, at Zilian Villa located at the top of Zilian Mountain in Aurous Hill, Maria had already gotten up early,
washed and dressed.
She sat alone in the courtyard, enjoying the misty morning view of the mountain while boiling a pot of Puer tea over

After her experience of encountering Charlie in the basement of Thompson First last time, Maria had not left the
top-floor courtyard of Zilian Villa for the past two days.
Michelle arrived with a wooden basket and was surprised to see that Maria’s courtyard door was open.
She asked, “Miss Clarke, why did you wake up so early today? It’s still early, and tea takes a while to brew.”
Michelle placed the basket in front of Maria, kneeled down halfway, and opened it to reveal some delicate
refreshments.
She carefully picked up a plate of refreshments and placed it beside Maria’s teapot.
She then said respectfully, “Miss Clarke, this is the tangerine peel Pu’er cake you mentioned yesterday.
Our pastry chef has never made it before, and this was his first attempt at the recipe.
I don’t know if it suits your taste, but you can try it.”
Maria nodded and gently picked up a piece with her slender, fair fingers.
She held the fingers of her other hand together in the shape of an ingot and took a small bite.
Michelle watched nervously, wondering if Maria would like it.
Maria tasted the cake lightly, and her beautiful eyebrows furrowed slightly before gradually relaxing.
Michelle watched and couldn’t help but admire Maria’s beauty.
She thought to herself, “Miss Clarke’s appearance is so beautiful.
Just seeing her furrow her brows makes people feel refreshed unconsciously.
She’s only seventeen or eighteen years old, and she has such beauty.
I wonder what she will look like in two or three years’ time…”
Maria put the tangerine peel Pu’er cake aside, took a sip of tea, and smiled at Michelle.
“It’s pretty good, it’s the taste I was looking for.
However, the tea leaves could be a little bit better.”
Michelle was surprised to hear this and couldn’t help but laugh.
“Miss Clarke, this is already the best Pu’er tea that Master could buy.”
Maria smiled and said, “Yes, the tea is good, but it’s not as good as the ones I have.
However, I’m already very pleased with the taste, so thank you, Michelle, for your hard work.
Please convey my thanks to the pastry chef as well.”
Maria’s words surprised Michelle.
She had known Maria for several days, but she had never heard her say thank you to anyone before.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNot even to her own Master, who had given away the entire Zilian Villa.
It seemed that Maria didn’t see anything her Master did for her as worth thanking him for.
She was very stingy with her gratitude, and Michelle sometimes had her own opinions of Maria.
She thought that, despite Maria’s educated and reasonable appearance, she was extremely arrogant and lacked
etiquette.
Michelle was always busy and attentive, but Maria never showed the respect she deserved.
But now, as Maria thanked Michelle and the pastry chef for the tangerine peel Pu’er crisp she had made, Michelle
was surprised once again.
She thought to herself, “Master has done so much for her, even giving her rare and expensive houses worth
billions, but she has never said thank you.
Yet today, she thanks me and the pastry chef for making her favorite snack.
I really don’t understand Miss Clarke’s worldview.”
As Michelle was pondering this, she heard Mr. Cole’s voice outside the door.
He sounded out of breath but excited as he exclaimed, “Miss! Mr. Cross is here!”
