The Supreme Boss In Disguise

Chapter 4: The Wedding

"You only know how to come now?" John barked as he saw Raymond striding in like he did not have the whole room waiting for him.

When he entered, Stella, who had never seen Raymond before, was shocked by his appearance and aura. However, she had done her investigation and was even informed that he was sick just yesterday, which meant that her sister would become a widow in at most two years.

Nothing could beat this kind of deal.

"I had to eat and take my medications, and since there's no housekeeper, I had to make the meal myself." He replied simply.

Although it was just two sentences, the face of the Brooks family changed while a girl that looked nothing more than eighteen finally looked up at him.

Her eyes flashed with appreciation as she looked at his beautiful appearance. Even without any effort, Raymond had a face that was bordering on beauty.

Julia, the second daughter of the Brooks family who was supposed to get married to Raymond, frowned slightly as she looked at him for a little bit more.

No one would have imagined that the girl could see through his condition almost immediately, yet she said nothing and went back to looking at her phone, almost as if she wasn't the person they were arranging the marriage for.

From his investigation, Raymond already had some information about the kind of person that Julia was, yet, he felt that when he felt her eyes on him and then looked away, it was almost like she wasn't the person in all those investigation reports.

"Sister, this is Raymond. Just like I told you, his appearance is the best, and he is just the way you like them.

Julia looked at Raymond again and then nodded, however, her actions lacked luster or emotions, intriguing Raymond slightly.

“So, when do we start the preparations?." Father Brooks asked impatiently, unwilling to spend too much time with this small-time family. If his daughter had not insisted on marrying him, he had no reason to pick a man that had disappeared for more than ten years and now had nothing to write home about him for his little princess.

"We can start immediately," John said hurriedly. He was also willing to have matters hurried for his company's sake.

"Father, sister said she doesn't want an elaborate wedding. Since he would be marrying into the family, she would like to save some face for her husband," Stella said while looking at her sister with affectionate eyes.

Julia's father looked at her with question in his eyes,  he was busy all year round, but he had always imagined that all girls wanted an elaborate wedding. In fact, he had already ordered that they set a certain amount in his account for Julia's wedding.

Even though she wasn't his favorite daughter, he didn't mind dropping a little bit of money for the celebration.

Julia nodded and then went back to her phone again, making Luke, who had originally felt that his brother got a huge deal for getting such a beautiful woman surprised.

'Was she dumb?' He wondered, thinking that it would make sense if she was actually dumb and her family wanted to push her to someone.

"If we won't be having an elaborate wedding, I can bring over his household documents now so that we complete the process," John added swiftly.

"I brought sister's own here too," Stella said, and Julia, who had been engrossed in her game all through, raised her head.

She looked at Stella for a little bit more than a second and then bent her head back to keep playing her game.

Stella, who didn't know that Raymond had been watching their interaction, sneered at Julia as she opened her purse and brought out her sister's documents.

Although an elaborate wedding would save him the stress of having to tell everyone that their families were now related, it would still have the same intended effect if Julia's father told them regardless.

Father Brooks nodded his head in approval while Luke stood up to get the household documents for Raymond also.

The family of two consisted of six people at the moment; the two fathers, Luke, Stella, Raymond, and Julia, stepped out of the meeting room and drove to the courthouse where they needed to complete the union to both of them.

Since Raymond was marrying into their family, his household documents were removed from the Winston family and moved to the Brooks family.

"Would you be changing your name also?" The attendant asked them as he looked at Raymond with disregard.

There was no one that didn't know the Brooks family. Now that a young and well-capable man like this was marrying into their family, it was clear to the attendant that this was a decision made by greed, and so he felt like Raymond was not worthy of being called a man.

"No." Three people said at the same time.

Raymond, Stella, and Luke.

The attendant nodded and then completed the process before moving them inside, where they went to complete the legal processes.

After doing that, both of them were required to take a picture together, and despite the awkwardness of the marriage situation, everyone there sighed at how attractive the couple was.

Yet, they were both incapable and only had their looks to rely on.

"The both of you are now husband and wife. However, since our daughter is only nineteen, and your living conditions are terrible, you would move into her quarters in Brooks's family until I decide that you both are capable of living alone." Father Brooks said as they got outside the hall.

Raymond frowned slightly and Julia who had acted like she was mute all day long, finally spoke up.

"I'll be living with my husband, regardless of his home conditions."  She said resolutely.

Everyone looked between Raymond and Julia as if trying to determine something. Yet, Julia's face was with her fixed blank expression while Raymond had an impassive expression.

Father Brooks had a lot to say, yet before he could say anything, Stella interrupted. "Father, it's better for them if they lived separately. After all, they are already one family. Raymond is also a man," Stella said hurriedly.

If her sister weren't home, her plan to send her away from inheriting anything would go even better!

Father Brooks eventually nodded while Julia's face had a slight sneer as she looked at him. Although he was the father, Stella always led him by the nose.
