Lilith's wedding was totally a mess.
The bride evaded at the last minute, which was unbelievable for everyone. However, it hardly occurred in reality.
Lenard's family was polite. Although they didn't look good, they didn't scold Lilith's family. Lenard just called continuously with a note in her hands. He still hoped that Lilith could come back to finish the wedding.
Kelly went crazy, and Shirley was just comforting the guests with Lenard.
"It couldn't be hidden." In the lounge, Irish just sighed.
It still needed to be announced to the public that Lilith had left. To some degree, the wedding of Lilith and Lenard belonged to a planned marriage, and it was made for the sake of business opportunity. It was said that a large sum of money had been paid to the wedding arrangement by Lenard's family. The invited guests were business partners. More importantly, this year happened to be the year when Lenard's industry was achieving integration and transformation. Therefore, Lenard's family would take this great opportunity to promote it and invite many reporters.
Who knew that this kind of thing would happen?
It would be okay if only guests came, but the fact was that reporters also arrived at the site in the early morning. Lenard's family dared not to announce it, so they just stated that there were issues with the make-up and dress designers.
Roy and Cassie got this news from Shirley. Although Shirley tended to be unpopular in the family, she cared for Lilith a lot. She didn't care about her quarrel with Kelly and just came to Lilith's house intending to provide some help. And then she got the news that Lilith had left.
Irish came to the lounge along with Joseph. She could see through the window that Shirley was always providing her with help. She was firstly surprised. Shirley and Kelly didn't get along well with each other, and they even flew with each other once. After Lilith leaves the house, the first thought in Irish's mind is that Shirley would just laugh at Kelly. However, Shirley was also anxious about it. Irish was quite surprised.
Ruby didn't come as usual. Maybe she didn't know it at all. Or maybe Emery was the only one important to her.
Roy didn't say anything and just frowned. Cassie said, "We are all clear about Lilith's personality. She is so stubborn. The guests will know that earlier or later."
Joseph sat on the sofa beside the table. He walked around the wedding site, and now he was tired of business entertainment. He didn't ignite the cigarette in his mouth.
"Now, the main issue is to find Jay as soon as possible. He is not an impulsive one. Even if he wants to take Lilith away, he should give us an explanation. He can't do that only for himself." He said, frowning.
Irish came forward and sat down beside him. She said softly, "Just smoke it." And then she handed over the lighter to him.
Joseph smiled lightly and massaged her head, throwing the cigarette in his mouth.
Irish sighed, leaning against him, "But what can I do? I can't get the call through. Maybe the signal is not so good. Now their parents know Lilith has left, but they don't know the specific situation. Lenard is not an idiot. He must have known something. He just asked me whether Lilith is still with Jay."
Cassie couldn't stand it. She just said, "Lenard's family is really stubborn. Lilith has given them a clear note. What are they still waiting for? Just give the audience an explanation. Lilith will not come back. Last time she even went to Florida to find Jay. How strong-willed she is! Who can stop her?
"You can't just say that. It is related to two families." Roy said after thinking for a while.
Irish played with the phone, "I agree with Cassie. Lilith escaped from the wedding, which proves that she has been forced to depart from Jay. She grew up in a good environment and is a good girl. But she also knows what she needs. It is more important than anything."
Compared with other girls, Lilith had a long way to go to pursue her love. If she wanted to be independent, she needed to pay much more labour. Irish could understand Lilith. No matter her decision, Irish knew that Lilith was much better than many young girls born into rich families.
Lilith was hardworking at work. She had never requested a shortcut. Just as described by Cassie, Lilith's salary was even less than hers. William and Kelly were strict parents. They didn't spoil Lilith, and to some extent, they gave Lilith a right to choose.
Yes, to some degree.
They would not put Lilith into society and let her pursue her dream in the Runestone Group. Although Lilith's salary was small, she still did not leave the Lakes and didn't lose her taste as a rich girl.
In Irish's eyes, Lilith was still in the upper class. Actually, she didn't have many choices. Take her love as an example; maybe she really wanted to be brave once, but she had to give up due to the pressure her family gave her. From this point, she was a girl who was obedient and dared not to revolt.
Ordinary girls would feel strange about this kind of thing, because too many people thought if you want to love, be brave to love, but for Lilith, this was extravagant, and she wanted to break through the things that had been wrapped around her since her childhood. She needed more courage than ordinary people. Other girls could pursue love because there was no opposition from their families or other people. And they didn't live under the richness and interests of the imprisonment where Lilith grew up. So, there was no other way.
Like her father, under the pressure of the family, he also had to marry Shirley. A man was still so, why pushing Lilith too harshly? Sometimes Irish thought if her father married her mother, she would be the only eldest daughter of the Lakes, growing up rich, then now would she also be like Lilith?
She believed it must be the same. The environment shaped the character. She could now do her own way because she lived with her Uncle. In other words, she grew up in an ordinary home, so she could do what she wanted. But living in a rich family, she had to accept the standard which trapped her.
So, this time Lilith's escape from a marriage made Irish quite admire her. Not because the other side was her brother but just because Lilith finally broke through that psychological line of defence.
Was there anything more impulsive than love in this world?
But solving the current problem is the key.
"Irish, you have to leave a message to Jay. Let him take Lilith back here anyway. They can't do that even if they decide to be together." Joseph had always been serious, which was a matter of principle, so he had always been rational.
