    Chapter 1942


    Felicity looked in the direction that Vermont''s finger was pointing at.


    Erick and Olivia were sitting together. Next to Erick, there was a middle-aged man. And, on the right


    side of that man, there was a middle-aged woman that was dressed in a simr fashion as Olivia.


    The woman had an average physique and an ordinary appearance, but she exuded an excellent


    temperament. She looked exactly like someone with a high social status.


    Meanwhile, the man had a resemnce to the groom, but he looked very serious. His looks were akin


    to the corporate leaders and government officials in the photos disyed at Florence''s home. He


    exuded an air of elegance and authority.


    When Erick talked to that man, he would unknowingly hunch his back as though he was a ve.


    Felicity was confused. "What''s wrong with that table?"


    Vermont pinched her cheeks and softly said, "Babe, you''re too innocent. Would you look at the way


    Ricky''s father is looking at the bride?"


    Felicity was stunned, and she looked over again.


    She finally saw it this time. The middle-aged man''s gaze toward the bride was not how a father would


    look at his

    daughter-inw. Instead, it was akin to scrutinizing a piece of merchandise. His eyes were tantly


    assessing every inch of the bride from head to toe.


    Suddenly, she thought of the farmers back in her hometown who were inspecting pregnant pigs in the


    shed with a simr expression. They were evaluating whether the pigs looked good, ate well, and


    whether the piglets they gave birth to would be healthy...


    Felicity suddenly felt ufortable, and she furrowed her brows.


    "What''s wrong?" Vermont asked.


    Felicity replied in a low voice, "The way he''s looking at the bride makes me ufortable."


    Vermont said tly, "That''s right. For someone who''s going to have a child with him, he has to see if


    she''s good enough."


    Felicity immediately widened her eyes. "Are you saying that- It


    However, Vermont quickly covered her mouth. "Babe, keep your voice down. Are you trying to get


    kicked out?"


    Felicity stayed still and tried her best to process the information. Then, she whispered, "So, this


    ceremony is not about his son''s marriage but getting a second wife for himself, huh?"


    "Not exactly a second wife. Strictly speaking, she''s just a baby machine."


    Vermont spoke indifferently. He was not surprised by these wealthy families'' secrets.


    Now that Ricky was ruined, the power and status umted by the Adam family for decades might


    be disrupted in this generation. So, Ricky''s father had yearned to have another child.


    The marriage between Ricky''s parents was a strategic alliance as both families worked for the


    government, and Ricky was their only child. Now that Mrs. Adam was incapable of conceiving


    anymore, Ricky''s father had to do it with another woman. However, with many people keeping a


    watchful eye on them and considering his significant influence in society, numerous individuals might


    attempt to exploit this situation to undermine him.


    And, since Ricky was unable to have children, they came up with this nasty idea. They would let Ricky


    get married and bring a woman back to bear the offspring of his father.


    It was so degrading that no one could ept it. Only Erick, who was eager to climb up the social


    By using his daughter-inw as a cover, he could raise his child as his grandchild without raising


    suspicion.


    "No wonder Mrs. Chapman looks so indifferent at the wedding. Does this mean she already knew


    about this?"


    Vermont yed with her hand and said, "The Adam family is very powerful. If it weren''t for Ricky being


    so useless, Mrs. Chapman''s daughter would never have the opportunity to be with him. Mrs. Chapman


    knows a lot of people in the social circle, so it''s impossible for her not to know about the current


    situation of the Adam family. However, being just a woman herself, there''s probably nothing she could


    do to stop it."


    "That''s not true. Don''t underestimate the power of a mother. " Felicity snorted and said, "If someone


    was plotting against my precious daughter like this, I''ll do everything in my power to stop this marriage."


    Vermont paused for a moment before he let out augh." You''re right. After all, not every parent is as


    sickening as Erick. I just can''t imagine someone giving away their child like this."
