“I have a cell phone here, do you want me to call the police for you?”
A group of people laughed unscrupulously.
I lowered my head and fiddled with my phone, too lazy to talk to these people.
But there was one thing I could be sure of.
That was Silvia, she was indeed protecting me.
The engagement ceremony ended very quickly.
Next, it was the time for the guests to eat, drink and bond with each other.
Jacques took Silvia to each table to toast and everyone was very flattering to Jacques.
I just took some time to learn about the Buckley Family in Stanford. It was true that they were the richest family, but they did not have much background and could be considered a nouveau riche.
The Buckley Family was able to rise to prominence because they had connections in California and then they got many big projects in the Sanford Family, which made them the richest people in Stanford.
However, their Buckley Family had never been able to squeeze into the circle of aristocratic families in Stanford.
In other words, the people who came that day were all vassals of the Buckley Family, as well as guests and friends of Silvia's family.
As for Silvia's family, it was considered a noble family in Stanford, but it had already declined.
The marriage between the Sanford Family and the Buckley Family was a win-win situation.
What the Buckley Family wanted was a ticket to squeeze into the circle of aristocratic families. Marrying a girl from an aristocratic family was equivalent to getting a ticket.
What the Sanford Family wanted was nothing more than money and they hoped to use it to make a comeback.
I had seen too many marriages like this since I was a child, so I was not surprised.
In fact, looking back at history, there had been too many such things happening in every dynasty.
Marriage had always been a science.
At this time, a little girl who looked only sixteen or seventeen years old sat next to me.
She was sweet and pretty, with some baby fat on her face, which made her very cute and her eyebrows and eyes are very similar to Silvia.
“My name is Sunny Sanford, your ex-girlfriend's biological sister. From now on, do not talk and follow me.”
She looked cute, but her voice was cold.
As he spoke, he already took my hand.
But I did not move, instead I asked, “Did your sister ask you to help me?”
“What do you think?” Sunny frowned and said, “Follow me quickly, or you won't be able to leave!”
At this time, several people in black suits had surrounded them.
Sunny sighed, shook off my hand and sat aside with no intention of leaving, because she knew she could not leave.
“You should not have come.” She sighed again, “If it were not for you, my sister would not have to marry that short, fat guy!”
For me?
I was surprised, but before I could ask any questions, I noticed a commotion in the banquet hall.
Jacques and Silvia also walked towards the entrance of the banquet hall and signaled everyone to stand up.
Then I saw seven or eight people walking into the banquet hall.
There were both men and women, all very young, but with a calm temperament, especially the leader, who was only in his early twenties, but very imposing.
“Russell, you're finally here, otherwise my engagement party would have been a little disappointing.”
Jacques immediately stepped forward and stretched out his hand to shake hands with the leader.
Russell did not shake hands with Jacques, nor did he even look at him. Instead, he looked at Silvia carefully before asking, “Your name is Silvia Sanford, right?”
Silvia was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
Russell's attitude softened a bit and he said with a smile, “He hid himself very well, otherwise we would have known each other long ago.”
Jacques thought that this ‘he’ was referring to him and was wondering when he hid?
However, he did not think much about it, but said to the others, “Everyone, this is Russell Lucero from the Lucero family in California. He is the real prince and the Lucero family is also the biggest support for our Buckley Family in Stanford.”
The others immediately applauded enthusiastically, their excitement evident in their expressions.
Jacques saw me still sitting on the sofa, glared at me and said, “Boy, who gave you the guts to still sit there?”
Silvia also said immediately, “Jordan, quickly stand up!”
