Chapter 39 - Humiliation

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

It was supposed to be a day of joy and celebrations, but none of the Lincolns looked even remotely happy.

Although the wedding was undoubtedly going to be unprecedentedly grand in scale, the problem was—it was a special type of wedding!

In the entire Lincoln residence, there were no wedding decorations to be found.

Outside the Wilsons had sent a luxurious fleet of 100 black Mercedes Benzes to pick up the bride!

However, the flowers decorating the wedding cars were all white lilies!

The Wilson bodyguards were all uniformly dressed in black suits with white lily corsage pins at their lapels!

There were no festive flowers or any cheer in the atmosphere.

There was only a sense of solemnity in the air!

At this point, Holly held Ruby’s arm and walked out slowly from the Lincolns’ residence.

Ruby was wearing a wedding dress, but the dress wasn’t white.

Rather, it was a black wedding dress!

The dress was a jet-black color throughout that was so dark that it was gleaming!

Holly forced an ingratiating smile and said to Jimmy, “Mr. Wilson, I’ll leave the rest to you now!”

Jimmy narrowed his eyes. “Why is there a person missing? Where’s that little bastard? Hand her over!”

Ruby’s head suddenly whipped up. She said firmly, “If you touch Nelly, I’ll end my life in front of you right away!”

Jimmy flew into a rage. He jabbed his finger in Ruby’s face and said sharply, “It seems like you want to do this the hard way, Ruby! Aren’t you afraid that I’ll vent my anger on the Lincolns? Do you believe me when I say that I will wipe out the Lincolns?”

Ruby, who refused to back down, said solemnly, “Nelly is my daughter! I will not allow anyone to hurt her! Either we leave, or I die and let the Wilsons take my dead body instead!”

Jimmy was incredibly furious!

A subordinate lowered his voice and said, “Mr. Jimmy, it’s almost time. Mr. Neal has left instructions that we mustn’t miss the timing!”

After a moment’s thought, Jimmy sneered, “Well played, Ruby! Fine, for the sake of that wretched little girl, since even death doesn’t faze you, then there’s nothing I can do about you either!”

Jimmy gave a wave and ordered, “Escort Ms. Lincoln into the car!”

“Yes, sir!”

…

At the Wilsons.

The secretary walked over to Neal, bowed slightly, and said in a low voice, “Boss, we’ve received news from Jimmy that Ruby has gotten in the car! However, she simply refuses to hand over that wretched little girl Nelly Nicholson and even threatened to kill herself! Jimmy was afraid that it may cause delays, so he didn’t take any action against Nelly Nicholson!”

Neal took a puff from the cigar in his hand, narrowed his eyes, and said, “It’s fine. She’s just a wretched little girl! We can capture her and bring her over when we catch Heller instead. Then, we’ll kill her right in front of Heller!”

Neal discarded the cigar he was holding and said coldly, “Ruby is about to be buried together with my son! I don’t believe Heller can remain unaffected!”

“I await Heller coming over to throw his life away!”

“Let’s go!”

“Yes, sir!”

…

At the Xanders, the butler hurried over and said respectfully, “Ms. Lucy, the Wilsons have picked up Ruby! They’ve set the funeral in the mountains in the west of L.A.! Neal Wilson has already set off!”

“Half an hour later, The Wilsons will start touring the city with the bride!”

Lucy was dressed in a black and red gown today, too. The only difference was that the design of the dress was slightly different, and there was a black rose pattern on the back!

Her every action brimmed with alluring charm!

Lucy finished the coffee in the cup in one gulp and said with a chuckle, “As expected of one of the Seven Great Clans! Neal is very ruthless indeed! Even I didn’t expect that he would force Ruby to accompany Hugh in the afterlife as his wife!”

“He’s really too ruthless!”

“I can’t wait to see how exciting Heller’s expression would look!”

“Let’s go! I’m going to the streets to see with my own eyes just how great a sensation the Wilsons’ grand wedding is going to stir!”

“Yes, ma’am!”

…

News of the Wilsons’ plans to hold a wedding ceremony for Hugh at his funeral with Ruby as the bride instantly spread throughout all the major families in Los Angeles!

For a while, innumerable people took action after hearing the news!

At the same time.

The Wilsons’ large bridal entourage also took to the streets of Los Angeles with mighty momentum!

The 100 black Mercedes Benzes and the grand wedding caused a huge uproar in the whole city!

Countless people took to the streets to tell one another about the news, and all of them came out to take a look at the grand and spectacular wedding of unprecedented scale!

In fact, the Wilsons even spent a lot of money and invited the media to live-stream the whole process!

“The Wilsons! It’s the Wilsons’ bridal fleet!”

“100 black Mercedes Benzes of the same design! And all the license plates are in running order! As expected of one of the Seven Great Clans! How lavish of the Wilsons!”

“What a shame that this is a posthumous wedding! I heard that the bridegroom is Hugh Wilson, the son of the head of the family! Someone just killed him last night!”

“So, who’s the bride?”

“Is the bride willing to die together with him?”

In the car, Jimmy, who was sitting in the passenger seat, said indifferently to Ruby, “Ms. Lincoln, all of L.A. must be wondering who the bride is right now! In that case, we should satisfy everyone’s curiosity! So, don’t hide anymore and show your face!”

“Open the roof of the car!”

“Yes, sir!”

The roof at the top of the car slowly opened!

Jimmy turned to look at Ruby. He grinned sinisterly and said, “Ruby, if you don’t want your daughter to die, and if you don’t want me to immediately send someone to the Lincolns and kill that wretched little girl you had with Heller, then stand up right now!”

Humiliation!

He was blatantly humiliating Ruby! Jimmy wanted to make Ruby a joke in Los Angeles!

Ruby clenched her fists tightly!

Needless to say, she didn’t want to do it.

But for the sake of her daughter, she had no other choice!

Ruby slowly stood up!

The next moment, the whole city fell into dead silence!

Through the media’s cameras, everyone in the whole city saw Ruby’s beautiful and stunning face on the LED screen!

She stood tall and graceful with the black slimming wedding dress, which cinched her waist, outlining her beautiful figure vividly!

Although she didn’t have any expression on her face, with her fair and delicate oval-shaped face, gently arching brows, bright eyes and white teeth, defined nose and full lips—she was really very beautiful! She looked flawless and impeccable!

Everyone was dumbfounded!

Prior to this, everyone had thought that the person who was willing to die with Hugh must be a very ugly woman. However, the sight of Ruby astonished everyone!

‘That beauty is still so young and so beautiful. How could she possibly be willing to die? Is she ending her life because her lover has died?’

This was what everyone was wondering about at this instant!

Lucy narrowed her eyes. As she watched the tall and graceful Ruby from a distance, she felt a faint sense of jealousy amidst her joy of revenge!

“Men!”

“Yes, ma’am!”

“Spice it up further! Play and loop the video we recorded previously in the whole city!”

“I want the entire L.A. to know that Ruby is no decent woman who’s killing herself for love! She’s just a slut whom everyone can bed!”

“Yes, ma’am!”
