Chapter 346


    Simon Hemandez was taken to Marina’s father, Sam Bailey, since hest met him and his wife, Mary.


    He would contact Sam every now and then to keep in touch.


    As Mary did not like Simon, thetter dared not revisit Bailey’s residence.


    Simon wouldmunicate with Sam on his cell phone daily.


    He even taught Sam how to y chess on his cell phone.


    Hence, the Hernandez Group’s employees often noticed something about their boss during meetings.


    Simon Hernandez would keep staring at his cell phone.


    The curious ones took a peek and realized they were all chess games on his screen.


    They were even more puzzled.


    When did their CEO be an avid chess yer?


    Moreover, he was so into it that he neglected to sleep and eat, which affected his daily work.


    Although everyone was puzzled, they did not dare to poke their noses into the matter any further.


    After all, Simon Hernandez was not an ordinary man; his mind was extraordinary, to say the least.


    Even though he stared at the chess game during meetings, he could instantly detect the mistakes in his


    staff’s reports.


    Those in the meeting room dared not let their imaginations run wild and stopped specting further.


    They would lose their jobs if Simon was disappointed in their performances.


    However, Marina Bailey was in the dark about the chess–ying matter.


    She was by Jessica Rodriguez’s side for the past few days.


    Marina was busy helping her manage the trivial matters of the wedding.


    Although her aunt, Daisy, had already taken care of everything, there were other matters.


    Jessica had to personally make decisions on all concerned issues.


    Nevertheless, that had kept Marina busy for the past several days.


    Marina thought about her own wedding in the future when she was in a daze from exhaustion. She had


    to leave all the matters to Simon Hernandez to handle.


    Time passed in an instant.


    In the blink of an eye, it was the wedding day of Jessica Rodriguez and Peter Moore.


    It had been a while since the Four Families had a joyous asion.


    Peter Moore was Daisy’s only son after all.


    In addition, she had been in constant contact with Jessica recently.


    Daisy liked her daughter–inw–to–be even more.


    Even though the wedding event was prepared hastily, it was still extravagant by any measure.


    All the notable people in Janeborough were invited.


    -Reporters turned up in droves and gathered around the event site.


    Daisy Bailey was someone who did not care about spectacle.


    However, she had invited many reporters to the wedding event for a purpose.


    It was part of her n.


    Her goal was to introduce Jessica Rodriguez to the public atrge.


    She wanted everyone to know how pleased the Moore Family was to wee Jessica into the family.


    Meanwhile, Jessica waited in the lounge for the event to begin.


    Marina stood behind her and carefully adjusted the veil on her head.


    Nothing out of the ordinary should happes


    “There may be a lot of reporters outsideter, but don’t worry, Jessica. Aunt Daisy has already made all


    the arrangements. You just have to go ording to the rehearsal”


    Marina reminded Jessica, mindful thetter might be nervous during the event.


    “I know,” said Jessica as her tense face softened.


    She knew very well why Daisy had arranged for such an extravagant event.


    For someone like her, who came from a humble background, to be showered with respect and


    fondness from a prominent family was unimaginable.


    Therefore, Jessica was more than grateful.


    She looked at himself and Marina in the mirror before them.


    Jessica said in an uncertain tone.


    “Marina, I never thought I would have so much in my life.”


    “Don’t be silly! What you have now is nothingpared to what you’ll have in the future!” Marina


    ced her hands on Jessica’s shoulders gently.


    Marina looked focused and severe.


    “Can I–really?” Jessica was unsure. She had not been at ease since Peter Moore proposed to her.


    She worried that it was just a dream and that she would wake up one day to nothing.


    Many nights, she woke up and did not dare to go back to sleep.


    She feared everything would disappear like a bubble when she woke up again.


    “Of course, you can! I heard that you’re capable in thepany.


    “You finished all your assignments with outstanding results. Moreover, you’re blessed with a


    photographic memory that most people can only dream of.


    “It’s a unique skill usually reserved for a female lead in a novel.


    “With such a powerful skill, why are you still worried you’re not worthy of all this?” Marina sounded


    disheartened.


    Although Jessica had be more confident during this time, she could not eliminate her inferiority


    complex.


    Perhaps she was sheltered by the Rodriguez family for too long and becamecent.


    The inferiorityplex engraved in her bones would not disappear so quickly.


    “You always like to coax me by saying nice things,” Jessica said. Marina’s encouragement significantly


    dissipated her anxiety.


    “I have never lied, Jessica; you must believe in yourself. You’re the best in the world and deserve the


    best in return.


    “In fact, Peter Moore isn’t worthy of you, not the other way around!


    “He must have done some good deeds in his previous life to be fortunate to marry a good wife like you


    in this life!” Marina meant what she said.


    In her opinion, Jessica was worthy of the best and the most decent man in the world.


    Peter Moore, the young libertine, had indeed got himself a great bargain.


    “Don’t say that about Peter. He’s good to me,” Jessica said slowly.


    “Oh, are you defending him now? Well, as they say, daughters and dead fish are no keeping wares for


    sure!” Marina teased.


    “Marina!” Jessica turned crimson instantly.

    Just then, there was a knock on the door.


    The staff pushed open the door and walked in.


    “Miss Rodriguez, it’s about time. We should go now.”


    “All right!” Jessica replied assertively.


    Then she stared at the mirror before her.


    Her reflection in the mirror had gentle and beautiful facial features.


    She was filled with anticipation for the future.


    “Jessica Rodriguez, the heavens would not bestow all the hardships onto you alone!


    “Don’t be afraid, you will definitely be happy!” Jessica thought.


    Then she took a deep breath and slowly stood up.


    Marina gently covered her head with a veil.


    Then, she took Jessica’s hand and walked toward the door.


    Jessica had already cut ties with the Rodriguez family before this.


    Hence, Marina took the stage and held her hand to apany her.


    The door in front of them slowly opened.


    All the spotlights instantly shone on Jessica.


    She saw Peter waiting for her at the other end of the red carpet.


    He wore a white suit and held a bouquet of her favorite bellflowers.


    Peter Moore was a looker whomanded attention at normal times.


    He was even more dazzling now that he was all dressed up; Jessica could not take her eyes off him.


    Her heart beat like a drum.


    It was pounding away like a galloping horse.


    Thank goodness Marina was next to her.


    Otherwise, Jessica would be too nervous to walk to the other end of the red carpet.
