?Chapter 3285 Are You Really The Bride''s Family?


    Tommy asked, "Daddy, would you say this is a case of wasting a golden opportunity?"


    "I''d say so," replied Luke. Even though two million dors might not be much to them, it was a lot of money for an average family.


    If Jean had decided to turn his life around, find a job with his degree, and use that two million as a foundation, he could have livedfortably.


    Luca was still a bit puzzled. "But didn''t Mr. Mallory give them more than a million?"


    "Chances are, the rest was squandered away," answered Luke.


    Luca''s eyes widened. "How did he blow through that much money?"


    "He''s always been reckless with money, and with Anna spoiling him, it wouldn''t take long to spend the rest," replied Luke.


    Luca thought he had a point and said nothing more.


    After seeing off all the guests, Percy settled the bill with the hotel and walked into the bridal suite.


    Nina had already changed into a red dress, with all the heavy jewelry removed and packed away.


    "Are all the guests gone?" Upon seeing Percy enter the room, Nina smiled and asked.


    "Yes, all gone. Got everything packed?" asked Percy.


    "Yeah, the dress and jewelry are in these suitcases. Once they''re loaded into the car, we can head out," answered Nina.


    "Alright, let''s go," Percy responded as a few bodyguards came in to carry the suitcases.


    These were priceless items, so Percy hired security to handle them.Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.


    As they left, Nina noticed they were not going through the same gates they had entered earlier. "Why are we leaving this way?"


    "It''s easier," exined Percy. "The main gates are crowded with guests."


    "But the bodyguards went that way." Nina noticed that. Then, something clicked in her mind. Frowning, she asked, "Is Jean at the main gates?"


    "Honey, it''s our wedding day. Let''s not worry about people who''ll spoil your mood." Percy gently squeezed her hand.


    Nina smiled. "So, it''s true, then?"


    Percy felt helpless. He truly did not want her to be bothered by this.


    Nina continued, "I''m not upset. I already knew what was going on, and I know Luca handled the issue for me from the start."


    "You knew?" Percy was surprised. Who told her?


    "Of course, I knew! Even though you and Luca didn''t say anything, some guests mentioned it, and I overheard. They tried to make a scene at the reception, didn''t they? They imed to be my mother and brother even though they didn''t have invitations.


    "If I hadn''t warned the staff ahead of time, they might''ve let them in. I''m just surprised they''re waiting outside after being kicked out."


    She did not think Anna and Jean were the type to have that much patience.


    Unless they ran out of money, they would not stick around and waste their time like this.


    However, it had only been a few months since thest incident. Had they blown through all their money so quickly?


    *Jean is a spender. He can''t get anything right and wasted all the money," said Percy. He had been keeping tabs on them for a while.


    However, those were Jean''s choices, and he did not intervene.


    Some people were like that. Even if he stepped in and tried to help, they might listen for a while, but could they really listen forever?


    The answer was no.


    Jean was the type who did not take advice.


    Nina was about to say that since Anna valued money so much, she should not have let Jean waste it.


    However, she then realized that Anna only had Jean as her child. People who favored their sons often excessively pampered them.


    Given that, it did not seem so strange anymore.


    With Anna spoiling Jean so much, of course, Jean would end up taking advantage and getting whatever he wanted with just a few sweet words.


    Nina felt helpless, but it did not really affect her mood.


    Even though she knew Anna and Jean were around, they did not make a scene in front of her, so it did not bother her.


    Everything that had happened over the years,bined with their family issues, had made her numb.


    As long as Anna and Jean did not cause trouble directly in front of her, she would feel indifferent.


    Now that she had cut ties with them, the only remaining connection between them was their blood ties.


    That blood rtion had worn thin over the years, so it had little emotional impact left.


    "There''s one more thing," added Percy when he saw that she was in a better mood. He decided to share everything.


    "What?" Nina came back to her senses, having been lost in her thoughts.


    "Marie is still clinging to Jean," continued Percy.


    His subordinates were always keeping tabs on Anna and Jean, so they reported every detail.


    Nina frowned. "He actually epted someone like Marie?" She thought Jean was out of his mind.


    Marie was such a terrible person. Still, Jean was willing to be with her? He blew all his money, so he could not get any other woman?


    *Some things are just bizarre. When Jean had money, he would never have looked at Marie. But now that he''s broke and all his previous women have left, he''s willing to be with Marie since she''s clinging to him." Percy was puzzled as well.


    Jean was rtively well-off previously. How could he settle for someone like Marie?


    Was he so desperate that he could not stand being alone?


    Nina asked, "What about Anna? Is she okay with it?"


    "If she could oppose it, would Jean have squandered all that money?" questioned Percy.


    Nina nodded. Anna would probably be driven mad by Jean.


    However, all the things between them had already been settled. The rest was no longer her concern.


    On the other hand, Jean''s and Anna''s legs were aching from standing.


    They watched luxury cars leave one after another but did not see the main wedding car. They could not help but frown.


    When the guards confirmed thest car had left, they closed the gates.


    Jean hurried over, pulling out a cigarette and offering it to the security guard. "Hey, why are you closing the gates already?"


    The guard did not take the cigarette and replied calmly, "There''s no one left inside. Of course, we''re closing the gates."


    "How could there be no one? The main wedding car hasn''te out yet," Jean replied with his brows furrowed together.


    The guard rolled his eyes and said, "In a hotel this size, the fire department wouldn''t let us operate if we didn''t have multiple entry and exit points."


    Jean felt as though he had been struck by lightning.


    Did that mean Nina had already left through another exit?


    That was impossible!


    "Are you messing with us?" Jean asked skeptically. Still, he had never been to such an upscale ce, so he was not entirely sure.


    "Why would I mess with you?" The security guard frowned. "Are you really the bride''s family? Why are you being treated so poorly?"


    Jean did not answer. He walked over to Anna, looking dejected, and said, "That damn Nina left through another exit."
