As knowledge and strength were both valued; the challenges included martial arts, mathematics,


    physics, chemistry, literature, history, philosophy, etc.


    The first challenge was rted to literature, as the bridesmaids requested the men to recite the entirety


    of Act 2, Scene 2 in Romeo and Juliet. They chose this because it was a touching and well-known love


    story fitting for a wedding.


    The groomsmen consisted often handsome, smart, and wealthy heirs, some of whom hadpleted


    their postgraduate studies abroad. Yet, everyone was utterly dumbfounded upon hearing the challenge.


    ‘What the heck? Who would randomly memorize an entire y for no reason?!’ They all thought in their


    heads.


    *So none of you can do it?” One of the bridesmaids smiled cheekily. “Fine then, I’ll give you the option


    to bribe us. Starting from eight thousand dors!”


    “Yep, yep! Right away!’ Xavier took his phone out, eager to participate. “You should have said so


    earlier! Why would we waste our time on something we can solve with money?”


    “Hold on.” Renee suddenly stood up. ’I can do it!”


    ‘Romeo and Juliet is a y written by William Shakespeare in the 1590s.


    Act 2, Scene 2, Romeo enters the Capulet’s orchard…’

    The woman started reciting the y all on her own, loudly and clearly.


    Everyone turned to look at her, with sheer disbelief stered all over their faces.


    Xavier whispered under his breath to his close friends. “I thought she was joking, but I didn’t think she


    would actually do it! This is way too impressive! ■


    Stefan, however, didn’t seem all that surprised. He replied in a slightly prideful tone, “She’s alright, I


    suppose. And didn’t I tell you she was an honors student?”


    After ten or so minutes, Renee was finally finished reciting the entire scene, which earned her a big


    round of apuse.


    ‘That was amazing!”


    The bridesmaid gave high praise as well. “As expected of the Jacobs’ family and friends. You truly are


    amazing, Miss. Looks like you have a hunger for knowledge, unlike those who only wish to gain power


    and status. ■


    Renee humbly waved her hands. “I’m not that great. I just like to recite ys or poems whenever I’m


    bored!’


    However, the woman couldn’t help but feel irked in her heart. ‘Isn’t Romeo and Juliet a tragedy where


    both of them died? Wasn’t it inappropriate to include this in a wedding?’


    With that, the groomsmen team was able to pass the first challenge.


    “Miss Everheart, thanks for the help. You’ve opened my eyes once again.” Christopher thanked her, his


    eyes filled with an unnoticeable admiration for the woman.


    Renee chuckled and joked. “It’s no big deal! If you really want to thank me, though, just transfer me


    eight thousand dors, like what they asked.”


    “Of course.” Christopher was very generous, taking his phone out. “Show me the QR code.”


    Renee didn’t refuse the offer, showing the QR code and receiving the money within minutes. At that


    moment, she realized that the wedding turned out to be absolutely worth her time.


    The remaining seventeen challenges were simr to the first, and the groomsmen relied on Renee to


    solve most of them as well.


    The woman, able to receive quite a lot of money, grinned from ear to ear.


    The group then reached the final mission, and that was to convince the bride to open the door for them.


    However, the door stayed shut no matter what the groomsmen said. Not even Christopher, the groom,


    was able to persuade her.


    Renee shrugged as well, indicating that she couldn’t help them this time.


    Just then, Xavier nudged Stefan’s arm and said, “Hey Stef, why don’t… you try?”
