A Billionaire In Disguise

Chapter 122: Book 2 Living as a billionaire -- Chapter 1

The hall was quiet as the wooden door opened, and everyone turned around to gaze at Catherine as

she marched into the room.

Even though this was their second wedding, the moment Rome gazed at Catherine, he became

emotional, and tears welled up in his eyes.

"She's perfect," Rome mumbled, wiping his tear-stained cheek with a handkerchief.

Staring at his son, Mr. Ford smirked while he thought, 'And you were against me for planning a huge

wedding, instead of you and Catherine going to the court to get your names changed.' Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

With a look of pride in his expression, Mr. Miller stared at his son in admiration at the pure love he saw

in his eyes for Catherine.

"I heard that her dress is the only one of its kind in the entire world. Also, that every jewel she's wearing

is made out of diamonds." A lady mumbled to the elegant-looking woman seated beside her.

"The Barlows are lucky to have a Ford as their son-in-law." The woman replied as she enviously stared

at Catherine.

"Is it good or bad luck? The last time I checked, they were ill-treating him because he was a Miller, and

now that he's a Ford,"

"Right, he could destroy their family with just a few words. Isn't it funny how now the roles have

shifted?"

A frown crossed Madam Rosey's face as she became annoyed at the fact that these two women dared

to gossip about her family when they were right behind her.

But she couldn't do anything about it because everyone who got invited to the wedding was elite

people, and they were above her family status.

When Mr. Barlow swayed his gaze to his wife and saw the growing anger in her eyes as these women

continued to gossip, he glared at her, knowing what was at stake.

"Remember what I told you all before coming here, 'Do not do anything to embarrass and degrade our

family reputation!" Mr. Barlow whispered with dominance in his tone.

Staring his way, Madam Rosey scowled and mumbled, "I know, but..."

"But nothing! This wedding is supposed to go smoothly for our family's sake! We don't want to get on

Mr. Ford's bad side, even if we are now in-laws."

"Fine."

After gazing at his wife for a couple of seconds, he stared at the others and then realized that one

person was missing.

"Why is Dash here, but not Chloe? Aren't they supposed to be here together as I requested!" Mr.

Barlow asked.

"I don't know." Madam Barlow said, feeling a bit worried that her granddaughter wasn't present.

As Catherine slowly marched towards the floral arch, her eyes remained fixed on Rome with a soft

smile on her lips.

Halfway down the aisle, Edward walked up to her and grinned as she held onto his arm.

Right at that moment, the door suddenly opened, and everyone gazed back, staring in shock at Chloe

as she walked into the hall, wearing an elegant lace appliques V-neck backless white gown.

Seeing the kind of attention that she was getting, Chloe smirked, then faked an apologetic expression,

gazed directly at Rome, and said, "I'm sorry for arriving late."

Then she stared at Catherine and sweetly uttered, "I hope you don't mind me wearing white to your

wedding, dear cousin?"

Not uttering a word, Catherine took a deep breath, calmed her anger, and faced ahead of her, fixing her

gaze back on Rome.

When their eyes locked and she smiled, he slowly unclenched his fist, knowing that today was her day

and taking action against Chloe would ruin it.

Although Mr. Ford wanted to call security to kick Chloe out of the wedding hall at that moment, when

Catherine and Rome didn't react to Chloe's behavior, he deeply inhaled to calm himself and let the

matter go, at least for the time being.

After Catherine didn't show any interest in her cousin's inappropriate entrance and dress code, the

musician started playing the bridal chorus, and everyone began to focus back on the wedding.

When Catherine reached Rome, he smiled at her and asked, "Are you okay?"

"Yes." Catherine calmly uttered, although she was annoyed by her cousin's behavior.

Even though Chloe expected a different reaction from her cousin, and it felt embarrassing that things

didn't go as she planned, she boldly walked down the aisle and headed to her seat.

The moment she sat down, the first thing she heard was a lady saying, "Is she trying to upstage the

bride, what a joke!"

'You guessed wrong. Trying to upstage my cousin when she dressed like that is something impossible.'

Chloe thought, sneering as she fixed her eyes on Rome.

Consumed with anger, Mr. Barlow tightened his fist, looked at Madam Rosey, and mumbled, "What is

your granddaughter thinking, wearing such clothes!"

"How should I know what goes on in that girl's mind?" Madam Rosey said, feeling annoyed by Chloe's

behavior.

With a touch of hurt in his eyes, Dash frowned at Chloe, and then he sighed, knowing what she was

doing.

Chuckling faintly, Charles stared at Chloe and then swayed his gaze on Richard and whispered to him,

"Five hundred bucks say that she did all this to get Rome's attention."

"Do you have five hundred bucks to your name to make a bet in your current state?" Richard coldly

said, giving his cousin an icy stare.

"I know your brother being in jail is pissing you off, but you don't have to be a jerk!"

"I'm not. I'm just reminding you to focus on your problems and stop bucking me about Chloe trying to

steal Rome from Catherine!"

Staring away from Richard, Charles clenched his fist and thought, 'I know where I stand now, but it

won't be for long. I will get back what rightfully belongs to me. Every single one of the Barlow's wealth

will be mine as it should be.'

A look of hate spiked in Richard's eyes as he watched Rome grin when Catherine joined him at the

arch.

Then he stared away from the both of them and thought, 'You two get to have your happily-ever-after

while Jeff is in prison, I don't think so. Enjoy the happy moments now because the good days don't last

long.'

Time drifted by, and at last, the clergyman finally said, "I now pronounce you Mr. and Mrs. Ford. You

may kiss your bride."

For a couple of seconds, Rome took a moment to admire his wife, and then he smiled as he leaned in

towards her lips.

The sound of clapping echoed throughout the hall as everyone watched him kiss Catherine.

"I'm about to cry!" Scar loudly said.

Staring at him, Blaze and Brook narrowed their eyes, but deep down, they too were emotional because

of how happy they were for their boss.

The look of envy in Chloe's eyes was visible as she gazed at Catherine and Rome kissed. Then a

buzzing noise from her phone suddenly drew her attention to its screen.

"It must kill you to see your cousin marrying the man you always wanted, right? But I can make Rome

yours if you obey my words to the letter." Chloe read, frowning at the text.

Then at that moment, another message appeared on the screen, "I am watching you, and any attempt

to tell others about this message, our deal is off."

"Is someone trying to prank me?" Chloe thought, gazing at Charles, then at Richard.

But they were not on their phone, so when the third message came, Chloe was truly concerned now

about who sent the messages.

"What's wrong, Chloe. You look restless. Don't you want to be the daughter-in-law of the Ford family? I

can give that to you."

"Who are you, and how do you know that I am restless? Are you one of the wedding guests?" Chloe

hastily texted back.

"Hmm...You are asking all the wrong questions! I guess you don't want your cousin's man like I thought

you did."

"Wait! I am desperate to have him."

When Chloe didn't receive a text back, she frowned and then gazed back at the face of all the guests.

A couple of seconds went by, then her phone buzzed, and she hastily stared at the screen, gazing at

the message.

"I see you are curious about my identity, but trying to find me in such a crowd will do you no good.

Anyways, my identity isn't for you to know just yet. So you are desperate?"

"Yes. But how are you going to get a man like Rome Ford to fall for me?" Chloe asked, sneering at the

way Catherine was smiling at Rome.

"Let me put it this way, I am your fairy god person, and I'm going to give you everything you need to get

yourself a prince charming, but you have to attract him yourself."

"How?"

The sudden sound of cheering and clapping drew Chloe's attention away from her phone, and she

stared at Catherine and Rome for a second before focusing on its screen again.

"Within the appropriate time, you will know. But for now, save my number because I will text you again,

and you should be ready to do as you are told by then."
