Master Lambert prepared everything for the wedding. He had even prepared the invitations, and they were ready to be sent out.

When Bai Lixin heard Master Lambert had prepared the invitations, he laughed helplessly, “Father, you’re being too eager. If we hadn’t returned in time, wouldn’t you have had to take back the invitations after sending them out?”

Master Lambert laughed, “There is no way I can take back what I have done. Besides, I know you two. Since you promised to return before the wedding, I knew you would come back on time. ”

He glanced at Bai Lixin with relief and said, “Mitchell, it is good to have you back to life.”

Bai Lixin bowed his head in embarrassment, “I have troubled you, Father.”

Master Lambert didn’t care much. He took them into his study and began to discuss the wedding. The two had been measured for their wedding clothes before they left, and they had been working on them ever since. Master Lambert had hired the best fashion designer in the Empire to make them the perfect outfits.

Not only were the outfits made to perfection, but the venue for the wedding was to be the most solemn cathedral in the city.

They also learnt from Master Lambert that he had invited almost all the prestigious families in the city to make the wedding a grand affair. Even the priest who will officiate the wedding was a royal priest in the imperial capital who specialised in conducting weddings for the royal family.

When Bai Lixin heard of Master Lambert’s wedding preparations, he was somewhat at a loss. “Father, is this a little too much publicity and extravagance?”

“What extravagance?!” Master Lambert slapped the table and laughed, “Hallyvette is my only child, and you are my beloved son-in-law. My son, I am doing this for your sake. You have received too much of a shock from the previous incident, and I want to make your identity public through this wedding. The Lambert family is one of the founding families and one of the three great families of the Imperial Capital. Even though we have declined a little bit, we are still bigger than a horse. I want to tell everyone on the planet that you, Mitchell, are a recognised member of the Lambert family and that anyone who dares to harm you is openly fighting against the Lambert family! Besides, the day you entered the gates of the Lambert family, I said that I would prepare the grandest wedding in the world for you and since I said that, I will do what I said.”

There was a faint light in Bai Lixin’s eyes, “Father, thank you.”

Two hours passed in the blink of an eye, and it was only when Bai Lixin yawned that Master Lambert stopped his presentation and said, “Mitchell is tired, so go back and rest. The wedding attire will be delivered tomorrow. You’ll try them on and see how they fit. If they don’t, I’ll have them altered. Mitchell, I’ll have the kitchen prepare some meat porridge, so remember to come down and eat it when you wake up.”

A look of concern crossed Master Lambert’s face. Tears filled Bai Lixin’s eyes once again. This time, a light tear slid down from the corner of his eye. Bai Lixin said in a nasal voice, “Thank you for your care, father. You have suffered these days. You care for me more than even my parents. What could I have done that you care for me so much? ”

Master Lambert glared at him, “What are you talking about? You are my son. Whom should I care about if not you?!”

Bai Lixin sniffed and broke into laughter. He wiped the tears from his eyes and nodded heavily, “Mmm! You are right, Father! ”

Three days later, the wedding arrived as scheduled.

The whole empire had been abuzz since a month ago when the patriarch of the Lambert family, one of the three great families of the empire, began preparations for the wedding of his successor, Hallyvette.

Who didn’t know that Hallyvette was sexually dysfunctional? Who didn’t know that Hallyvette wasn’t humane? Now he is getting married? And to an omega, it seems?

And as the news spread, Master Lambert didn’t hide it but started to publicise it. He found the best church, the most prestigious priest, and the most qualified wedding fashion designer. He even invited almost everyone and announced that anyone could come to the wedding of the Lambert family extraordinaire even without an invitation.

This kind of generosity made people wonder what kind of person this omega was that could have so much charm to convince the two alphas of the Lambert family.

However, even though the paparazzi in the capital and all the powerful people in the city asked around, they could not find out. Not only that, but while the Lambert family was out there preparing for the wedding, the two main characters, who were supposed to be busy with it, had not shown up, which casts a veil of mystery over the wedding.

The more the mysterious omega was kept out of sight, the more curious the crowd became.

To unravel the mystery of the omega, an entertainment program had even been created on the internet to deduce the true identity of the omega. In each episode, a masked man is shown on video analysing who the Omega was through clips of Hallyvette’s past encounters with people.

This person’s voice had been specially processed so that it sounded electronic, but the person spoke with great humour and was very analytical.

The show also had a guessing section where people would fill in a name and guess who the person was. To attract attention, the show set up a big prize for the correct guess.

With a huge share of the prize money, the crowd rushed to the show, and a large percentage of them guessed it was an omega from the huge Haiyin family.

No one knew the identity of this sudden studio or the program team. People originally thought that this planning team had money to burn, but the huge surge in hits and the momentum of the entertainment showed that this studio was using the wedding to gain exposure.

The speculation continued to grow and it seemed that someone was behind it. The fervour overtook the previously hot original song contest and shot straight to the top of the entertainment front pages.

The mysterious Omega had beaten the giant combination of Jonas Jeffrey and Quark before he even showed up. The crowd was dumbfounded, but they had to admit that Master Lambert was making such a big deal out of it that they were curious about who the omega was.

It was only a week before the wedding that invitations arrived in the hands of the invitees.

Although the gentry was reserved, as soon as the messenger left, they curiously opened the invitation to see Mrs. Hallyvette’s name.

Mitchell Lambert?

A sharp-eyed man noticed that the surname was already “Lambert”.

Lambert? Was it incest? Or had Master Lambert secretly adopted an omega for Hallyvette as a child bride?

On the same evening that the invitations were sent out, the entertainment program that had been set up to deduce the true identity of the omega was updated.

To make it more visual, the show was presented with a huge display in the middle of the screen, and the presenter stood on one side of it. By explaining and posting evidence on the screen, the audience was given an idea of what was happening.

In this episode, the presenter put up numerous pieces of evidence in the video to prove that Hallyvette and the omega had been married for a long time. The first was a video of Hallyvette and a slightly shorter man walking into the marriage registry office. It was somewhat blurred, but the figures in it were still clearly identifiable. The tall, strong man was none other than Hallyvette, and the shorter Omega, to the crowd’s surprise, was someone that looked familiar.

The name Mitchell had already gone viral on the internet. Those who still remembered realised that Mitchell Lambert was the same Mitchell who had made a name for himself a few months ago with his song “The Call”!

In the top right-hand corner of the video was the time of filming, which was four or five months ago, well before Mitchell’s debut.

The big screen then posted the couple’s marriage papers. It wasn’t some blurry photo, let alone some random video; it was a real marriage document!

The date on the document was the date of the video, confirming once again that the singer Mitchell was Hallyvette’s wife and that the two were not just marrying today but had secretly received their marriage certificate a long time ago!

Without giving the crowd time to think, the host laughed: “Speaking of Mitchell, who is no longer in the public eye, we have to talk about the uproar over the advertising campaign. I honestly don’t know if there was a need to steal an ad when Mitchell was the heiress of the Lambert family. I thought about it and was surprised to feel a sudden chill down my back. It’s not uncommon for advertising endorsements to change, and as soon as a contract is signed, everything is variable. After getting this video and the marriage registration certificate, I started to think about a question. Was the incident, at the time, a little too heated? Had someone done it deliberately? So, in the spirit of rigorous objectivity, I investigated and made an unexpected discovery. ”

The host was not afraid of offending Jonas’ fans, and he first released the contract signed between Lambert’s company and Mitchell on the big screen. The date underneath it said August 13th, 4027.

The presenter then again put a video of Mitchell and Jonas entering the set one after the other at the time as well. One entered the set on his own, while the other was being escorted onto the set by numerous people. The top right-hand corner of the video had the date showing August 18th, 4027, a date after the contract was signed between Mitchell and the Lambert company!
