Honey, You're a Billionaire?

Yara suspiciously asked, "Really? Almost?"

"Yes, really!"

This assurance brightened Yara's mood considerably. "You're right. Today's my big day. Everything can wait until after today."

She checked the time and realized there was only half an hour left before the wedding ceremony. The thought that she would soon become Jonathan's wife filled her with excitement. However, she had no idea that what awaited her was a shocking surprise that would make her wish she were dead.

Meanwhile, Rose returned to the hotel and changed into a new outfit. Clover and Miles accompanied her, one on each side. As they walked through the hotel, they drew everyone's attention.

The three of them took their seats and waited for the wedding to begin. Although the bride and groom had yet to appear, the media outlets were already in position and ready to capture every moment. Finally, the groom took the stage at the emcee's invitation. He was tall and well-dressed in a tailored suit, but he kept his back to the audience the entire time as if hiding his face on purpose. His back alone was enough to stir excitement among the reporters. Everyone knew how low-profile Jonathan was. In the past, they wouldn't dare publish photos without his permission even if they managed to capture his image. But today, Yara had invited them to document the entire wedding and even allowed them to livestream it. Jonathan had given instructions to capture the groom and bride well, indicating that he was ready to shed some of his mystique. This had everyone buzzing with excitement as the media all aimed their cameras at the groom on stage.

Meanwhile, Yara was holding onto Rupert's arm outside the hall, ready to enter. She looked around searching for Bella, but she couldn't find her despite scanning the crowd.

"Where did Aunt Bella go?" Yara asked. The others present were equally confused.

Kate seemed to recall something and quickly answered, "Mr. Yosef came just now, and it seemed that she went with him in that direction."

Yara followed the direction Kate pointed in. She heard the host's lively introduction from outside the hall, so she shifted her focus back and decided not to dwell on it.

In a deserted corridor of the hotel, Bella lost her usual warmth and friendliness toward Yosef. She noticed his grim expression and knew that he was troubled by Jack.

Yosef had been negotiating and running around for days, but to no avail. Bella's gaze toward him became increasingly disdainful.

"Why did you arrive so late? This is an important day for the Finch family, and you should have been here earlier as one of the Finches," Bella scolded, using a tone she had never used with Yosef before.

Yosef noticed the sudden change in her demeanor and quickly understood the reason behind it. A hint of mockery flashed in his eyes.

"Now that Yara is about to marry Jonathan, you feel you have the upper hand? Don't forget it's Jonathan who has been keeping Jack in custody!"

Indeed, it was Jonathan's doing but...

"You said it yourself. Once Yara is married to Jonathan, he'll release Jack because of our family ties." Bella believed that Jonathan would give her face due to the marriage alliance.

"Fine. In that case, I won't concern myself with Jack anymore. Your son..." Yosef sneered.

In the past, Yosef had found Jack too mediocre and unfit for any significant role before he was aware of all the dirty things Yosef had done.

He had been supporting an illegitimate son, and though he hadn't planned to give up on Jack entirely, the idea was now beginning to take shape. Yara understood the implication of his words. "The son I have given birth to carries the Finch name, but that illegitimate child of yours won't even be allowed to take it."

Bella decided not to hide it anymore. She had endured it for years, and now it was all coming to an end. Seeing Yosef's astonished expression brought a smirk to her face.

"You hid it well, but I still found out. I never caused a scene, but that might change. Did you really think I was pushing this marriage between Yara and the Finch family for your sake?"

She had done it all for Jack. After

finding an outlet to release years of

pent-up frustration, she could no longer hold herself back. She was

finally seeing the reaction she had longed for from Yosef.

"That illegitimate son of yours will never step into the Finch family!" Yara declared triumphantly with delight in her eyes before turning to head back to the wedding hall.

She didn't want to waste more time or energy on Yosef, especially when she could hear the ceremony beginning inside.

Yosef's face darkened as he watched her walk away. He had been planning to leave altogether, but he was stopped at the exit of the hotel.

"Mr. Yosef, the ceremony is about to start. Please come this way," one of the security personnel said.

Yosef recognized them as members of the Azure Clan, Jonathan's men. He frowned and realized he had no choice but to attend.

Had it been before, he would have publicly confronted Jonathan the moment he decided to give up on Jack. But now, Bella's intention was clear. She wanted to use the marriage to elevate Jack's status.

Unsure of Jonathan's stance, Yosef could only suppress his anger and return to the wedding hall under the security personnel's escort.

"Let us welcome the bride on stage under her father's escort," the emcee announced in an enthusiastic voice.

The atmosphere reached its peak as all eyes turned to the entrance. The media outlets' cameras were fixed on the doorway, ready to capture the bride's entrance.

QUMS

Yara's heart began to race. She was used to being in the spotlight due to her career in the entertainment industry, but the intensity of the attention today made her unusually nervous.

Her eyes were fixed on the groom, who still had his back turned to her on stage. Jonathan...

Yara swallowed nervously. All she had to do was walk up to him and complete the ceremony, and she would become his wife, the lady of the Finch family! The thought filled her with anticipation. "Dad, let's walk faster!" Yara urged. Her excitement was evident.

Rupert was just as eager for the ceremony to proceed quickly, so the father and daughter quickened their pace in unison.

All eyes followed them as they approached the stage until Yara finally reached the front and stood behind the groom. The next step was for Rupert to leave Yara's hand in the groom's, but...
