Rebirth: Marry the Enemy of My Badass Husband novel Chapter 56

Maureen was extremely shocked.

The phoenix coronet and robe of rank Gianna was wearing were dazzling. They were so dazzling that it couldn’t be described with mere words.

Top grade.

Elegant.

Noble.

Luxurious.

Extravagant.

It was sensational; nothing could describe the visual impact of this piece of clothing.

Even the workers were in awe, “We know that this bridal gown is pretty, but we never think that it will look so splendid on you, Ms. Morris.”

Gianna smiled plainly. Even her light smile was stunning in that red dress.

“Ms. Morris, please take a seat. I’ll do your make-up for you,” said the worker politely.

Maureen sat down beside another dressing table.

She was wearing a vintage yet modern pink floor-length dress. It combined the traditional beauty of Country B and the elegant culture of the west. It looked astonishing as well. But next to Gianna, it was more tempered. It was a suitable dress for a bride’s maid as she wouldn’t steal the spotlight from the bride when standing next to her. And when she was not standing next to the bride, she would look uniquely beautiful as well.

Maureen was almost bribed by Kingsley because of this dress.

She had to admit that his taste in clothing was much better than Caesar.

“Ms. Morris, the dress is extravagant enough. Hence, we will be less lavish with the accessories. But don’t worry, even our plain accessories are luxurious items,” the worker quickly explained.

Gianna frowned.

She wasn’t a materialistic person.

“Mr. Walker wanted us to tell you that,” the worker explained again after observing Gianna’s expression.

Maureen started laughing, “Kingsley is sure honest.”

It might be philistine to be materialistic, but it was still much better than those sheep in wolves clothing.

“This is a golden hairpin. It looks simple but it’s actually quite intricate. It’s an intangible cultural heritage vintage item from Country B, an item handmade by Mr. Moore in his later years. After almost more than 100 failed products, he managed to make this. Some expert claims that this hairpin is worth more than ten million. But Mr. Moore was an odd person, he didn’t really care about money and would only sell his products to people he liked. This item is extremely invaluable.”

Gianna listened attentively.

The worker explained every accessory to her.

At first, she wasn’t too interested, but soon she was absorbed.

Maureen’s look was simpler. After she was done dressing up, she listened to the worker with an interesting look on her face.

“This is a jade bracelet,” said the worker as she put the bracelet on Gianna’s wrist.

The size was just right.

The transparency and glossiness of the jade bracelet were perfect. One look at it and Gianna could tell that it was probably also very expensive.

“Mr. Walker wanted me to tell you about this jade bracelet. So, this is an heirloom from the Walker family, an antique.”

“Kingsley is giving you his family’s heirloom. Gina, he might be really serious about you!” Maureen said out loud.

Kingsley seemed to be… serious about this marriage.

It was as if he had been planning this for a long time.

Otherwise, how could it be so perfectly planned out?

Gianna allowed him to take her for marriage by force one month ago. One month wasn’t enough for him to be so prepared!

They spent a whole afternoon on Gianna’s and Maureen’s make-up.

Suddenly, they heard a knock on the door. The person said politely, “Mr. Walker wants me to remind you that the wedding ceremony starts in half an hour. Please be prepared by then. Also, because the ceremony would take a while, Mr. Walker had prepared some desserts for you and Ms. Torres. Please open the door.”

The make-up person quickly opened the door.

The other person left after delivering the desserts.

The worker in the room separated the desserts. She put one in front of Gianna and the other in front of Maureen.

After that.

She said, “Mr. Walker wanted me to tell you guys this.”

“What is it?” asked Maureen excitedly.

She really wanted to know what kind of surprise Kingsley still had up his sleeves.

“This chocolate in front of you, Ms. Torres, is top-grade chocolate called ‘Dark Drip’. It was made up of 28 types of expensive cocoa beans and it also consisted of 23 carats of edible gold. The cup that came with it was also plated with gold, and the spoon diamond-studded. It is worth around 8.8 million.”

Maureen was speechless. It would be reckless of her to just eat it.

“The one in front of you, Ms. Walker, is called Strawberry Feast,” said the worker after introducing the dessert in front of Maureen. “The strawberries were soaked in exotic wine. The cream and mint complement the taste perfectly. It’s worth… 320 million.”

“What the fuck?” Maureen couldn’t help but curse, “Who is he fooling? How can some soaked strawberries from overseas cost 320 million? Then I would be invaluable just by going overseas!”

After half a day of dealing with Maureen, the worker was used to her overreactions. She said, “Yes, it does indeed cost 320 million.”

“Is it studded with diamonds? How could it be so crazily expensive?” Maureen couldn’t believe her ears.

“Yes, it is,” answered the worker.

Maureen was speechless as she was just spouting nonsense.

The worker then picked up a spoon next to the dessert and took away the strawberries. A ring with a pink diamond on it could be seen, it was in the dessert.

It was shining under the light.

“Mr. Walker mentioned that as there wasn’t going to be any ring exchanging session during the ceremony, he would like to give Ms. Morris this ring beforehand. Mr. Walker also wished for Ms. Torres to put the ring on Ms. Morris,” said the worker.

“Kingsley sure is cunning, he knows how to manage me. He prepared me such an expensive dessert, I would feel so bad if I didn’t help him put this ring on you,” Maureen mumbled to herself. The worker took the heart-shaped diamond ring off the spoon.

It was at least 5 carats.

It was a coloured diamond.

So 320 million wasn’t an exaggerated number.

Maureen looked at it for a while before she held up Gianna’s hand.

Gianna moved her finger slightly.

She was slightly… trembling.

“Are you shocked by his actions?” asked Maureen.

Gianna nodded.

She was indeed shocked.

“Me too.”

Maureen then put the ring on Gianna’s ring finger.

The size was perfect.

As if it was custom made.

“Right now, I think Kingsley is extremely cool,” said Maureen in awe.

She wasn’t exactly “bribed”. She just really thought that Kingsley loved Gianna a lot.

Compared to Gianna’s wedding with Caesar.

She could only say that this was worth it.

Caesar was not worth it at all.
