Chapter 363 Virtue Doesn't Fit Status

It was another busy day with plenty of preparations required for Julia's wedding.

As her best friend, Amelie could not just sit by and do nothing.

She was so occupied with her tasks that sunset soon arrived.

It was only when Bria gave her a video call that she eventually remembered she hadn't contacted her daughter and her father after arriving here.

She had wanted to bring Bria along, but she was about to enter elementary school soon and her kindergarten lessons were scheduled pretty tightly.

Her father's heart wasn't in a suitable condition for him to fly either, so she needed someone there to accompany him while she was there.

That was why she had left Bria behind.

"Mama, is Miss Julia there with you? I want to wish her a happy marriage."

Bria's voice was crisp and sweet.It was a melodious sound, and she had grown so much in these two years.

"Miss Julia has already been picked up by Papa Samuel.Why don't I help you send the message to her?" Amelie responded apologetically.

Samuel was now obsessed with pampering, protecting, and also accompanying his wife.He would be with his wife whenever he had the time.

Even though Amelie was extremely close to them, she was reluctant to be the third wheel and went back when she had finished her tasks.She was staying at the condo she had bought in Clouson City back then.

While she had spent the last few years overseas, she would employ someone to maintain and clean the place, thus the condo was spotless.

"Okay."

Bria didn’t sound disappointed and went on to ask about the details of Julia's wedding before moving on to talk about Steven.Her eyes were wide and expectant as she chattered away.

Amelie knew what she was waiting for, but considering Leo's current circumstances, she couldn't say anything she wanted to.He had always been an imposing and respectable figure in Bria's eyes, and Amelie didn't want to destroy that image.

She had no choice but to pretend she couldn't read Bria's thoughts and continued talking about other topics.

After hanging up the call, Amelie rubbed her brows guiltily.She couldn't help but wonder why Leo had turned out like this.

As she was thinking about it, Julia's call came.

"Do you want anything?" Amelie asked, a smile already lingering on her lips.

"Yes," Julia replied.

"I was so busy in the last two days that I forgot about your bridesmaid gown.You can go and pick out something tomorrow.Remember to pick the prettiest one, and don't be afraid of stealing the spotlight."

Julia intended to use her wedding to create opportunities for Amelie.

Amelie could sense that and quickly refused.

"I'm not suited to be a bridesmaid.Choose someone else."

She was divorced and might bring bad luck if she was Julia's bridesmaid.

"There are plenty of girls in the office.If you can't spare the time, I can help you pick several who are currently in love to accompany you during the wedding happily"

They might be a media company that brought influencers fame, but they had no limitations on their employees’ relationships.

All relationships were accepted as long as they were healthy.

Amelie's words also told Julia the reason she couldn't be Julia's bridesmaid, to which Julia snorted.

"I don't have such stupid considerations, nor do I want a whole gaggle of bridesmaids.I want only you to be my bridesmaid since you are my best friend.Don't you dare drop the ball on this!"

Had it been something else, Amelie couldn't deny her responsibility.However, she was insistent on this.

"I’m your sister, and I have to attend as a family member."

She didn't believe in such things either, but she still wished for her best friend to have a perfect and flawless wedding.

Julia knew Amelie well and understood that she couldn't change Amclie's mind when the other woman was insistent on something, so she didn't object anymore.

Before hanging up, she reminded Amelie, "You have to prepare for something.Samuel's family has collaborations with Leo's company, so he'll be present as well"

"Okay."

Amelie was momentarily stunned, but she had already calmed down by the time she responded.

After talking to Julia, she went to Starlight Media to ask for employee details from Casey and picked out six girls to be Julia's bridesmaids.

It was an auspicious number, and Amelie hoped that Julia's life would be smooth sailing by doing so.

When that was done, she asked Casey to choose several young men for the role of best men.

Soon, the day of the wedding arrived.

Amelie accompanied Julia in the dressing room of the hotel as Julia was being styled, which finally ended at 9.00AM.

Julia had always been unrestrained and being trapped there for four to five hours made her expression turn impatient.

However, according to tradition, the bride couldn't just wander freely before the ceremony, so she could only lean against the window without interest while chatting on and off with Amelie.

They were both on the third floor of the hotel, and the window faced the hall perfectly.

From there, they could see everyone below when they looked down, but no one could see them since the window was too small.

Down below, Samuel was clad in his suit and loafers, a flower pinned to his lapel as he welcomed the guests with Mrs.Gage, his sister, and brother-in-law.

Even from this far away, they could sense his joy.

Mrs.Gage was also smiling in delight as she chatted continuously with the wedding guests.

Only his sister maintained a cold and stony expression as she followed behind Mrs.Gage, and even when she smiled, it was forced.

Her name was Cassandra Gage, and she was married to Jimmy's cousin, Alex Goldstein.

Alex managed the Gage Family's business with her, acting as vice president while she was the president.

"Cassandra was so dissatisfied after Mrs.Gage consented to the marriage between me and Samuel that she had an intense argument with her family.If Alex hadn't reassured her, she might have turned against them.Now that Samuel has returned and also participated in the management of the family business, she may only be more guarded against me"

Alex's family also had their own business.

The Goldstein Family had already encouraged him to return and were all angered by Cassandra forcing Alex to stay with her.

Cassandra's abilities were limited, but she had strong ambitions.

As such, she commandeered the head position of the family's company on the basis of being slightly older.

Samuel did not fight his sister for it and branched out to start his own business.

However, if Alex didn't return to the Goldsteins now, they wanted him and Cassandra to get divorced.She now had no choice but to accept Samuel's return but insisted on him only becoming the

vice president and not fighting her for the head position.

Even so, Julia's parents’ status as high-ranking officials had always been a thorn in Cassandra's side.

Cassandra was worried that Samuel would get the help of Julia's parents in kicking her out.

Julia recounted the Gage Family's issues and couldn't help sighing when she was done. Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

"Cassandra's worries are unfounded.My parents may be high-ranking officials, but they've never cared about us.She's so tiresome since she doesn't work on improving her management abilities but chooses to fixate on my family's background."

Amelie wasn't highly acquainted with Julia's parents, but she knew their parenting concepts well.

All Julia's achievements had been acquired with her hard work without any help from them.

"To be honest, the source of Mrs.Gage’s disapproval of me being with Samuel besides that event is mostly Cassandra's provocations."

Amelie had already witnessed Cassandra's behavior and couldn't help clutching Julia's hand.

She didn't say anything, though she was worried about Julia getting hurt after marrying into the Gage Family.

Julia understood this and clasped her hand in return.

"Don't worry.I will be spending my life with Samuel, not her"

As they were talking, something flashed brightly as an eye-catching figure entered their view.
