The marriage ceremony was scheduled for nine in the morning, and a banquet would be held that evening at the Lambert family home to entertain the guests.
The Haiyins, the Yakels, partners, Lambert’s side families and friends… anyone who had some acquaintance was on Master Lambert’s invite list.
On the day of the wedding, the two came from afar in their elaborate and extravagant golden robes, stunning the crowd. The wedding ceremony lasted only about an hour and a half.
According to Master Lambert, the only way that Mitchell would be remembered was by the party, and the only way they would get to know Mitchell was by taking him around the drawing-room and introducing him to people.
Fortunately, the Lambert family drawing-room was very wide, and although many people were invited, it did not feel crowded.
As Bai Lixin walked down the stairs, assisted by Hallyvette, he saw the already crowded hall.
There was a light smile on their faces, goblets in their hands, and they looked to be in perfect harmony. When they came down, the originally noisy hall was instantly silent and Master Lambert slowly walked up to Bai Lixin and formally introduced him.
While Master Lambert introduced him, Bai Lixin did not remain idle. He raised his eyes to scan the hall and spotted a few familiar figures.
Without his intervention, it seemed that everything continued marching according to the original plotline.
Jonas was accompanied by Mr Borg, and beside the eldest son of the Yakel family stood Haizi.
Master Lambert introduced Bai Lixin and took his seat in the hall with another lift of his glass to the crowd.
Jonas thought of Master Lambert’s warning earlier and bit his lip, finally forcing his head to the side, not looking his way.
After the introductions were made, Haizi walked over to Bai Lixin and looked him up and down. “My dear, it’s been a long time. I never thought you’d be the wife of the future successor of the Lambert family. ”
Bai Lixin smiled softly and lowered his voice, “Just as I hadn’t thought that Nigelus was the sixth son of the Haiyins.”
Haizi’s eyes twinkled, “When did you find out?”
“Earlier than you think, but not too early.”
Haizi was stunned, then suddenly laughed and gave Bai Lixin a big hug.
Jonas appeared to be lounging in the hall, occasionally toasting and clinking glasses with some of the dignitaries and nobles. Known as the “Imperial singing voice,” he often roamed the upper reaches of society and was loved by them. It was only that this time, as Jonas was once again wandering the dance floor with his glass in hand, people looked at him with a more or less critical eye.
After wandering around for a while, Jonas couldn’t stand the scrutiny and went to the lounge and sat down.
He was sitting in the lounge area but was still on pins and needles even though he was isolated from the eyes of others.
The more he thought about what was slowly festering, the more he felt that something was not right. That presenter must have been preparing that web show from a month ago with him as the target.
Jonas glanced at Bai Lixin. He was glowing and surrounded by people. All eyes were on the star of the party tonight. He was dressed in the most luxurious clothes, drinking the most expensive wine, with the most confident smile on his face.
But this is a man who, a few months ago, was a newcomer who could not hold his head up in front of him. However, the tide was now turning. He was silently hiding in a corner, lowering his presence, while this newcomer, who was not even worthy of touching his shoes, had leapt into the upstream society that he yearned for so much.
Jonas ducked his head down to cover his jealous expression.
If there was someone on that program that was targeting him, then it would be Mitchell.
The program had not only trampled on him but had also praised Mitchell. Jonas slowly stood up, casting a cynical glance at Mitchell.
Since it involved Mitchell, it was important to let Master Lambert know about it.
He stood up with the most perfect smile on his face, moving through the sea of people with ease, and in no time at all, he was in front of Master Lambert. He raised his glass and smiled with extra respect, “Dear Mr Lambert, it is a pleasure to meet you.”
Master Lambert’s eyes narrowed slightly before he smiled, “It’s a pleasure to meet you too.”
Jonas glanced behind him to make sure no one was within three metres before taking another slight step forward and lowering his voice, “Sir, there’s something I need to tell you.”
A slight look of displeasure was already on Master Lambert’s face as he glanced at Bai Lixin in the distance. He noticed that the other man was being guided by Hallyvette to meet the others before he said coldly, “What is it?”
“I have been under frequent attack on the internet recently and I suspect Mitchell is responsible.”
“You suspect? What proof do you have?”
“No..no proof, I just have…a hunch.”
“Heh, a hunch.” Master Lambert sneered, “Jonas, your instincts have always been inaccurate; otherwise how would you not have known that Yayaxi had given Mitchell a keepsake? I have heard about the criticism you received on the internet. It was a big deal, and very few people don’t know about it. ”
Master Lambert paused, looked at Bai Lixin in the distance, and continued, “Jonas, you have made too many enemies. Haven’t you made enemies from the purchase of songs over the years? My game with Mitchell has only just begun, so don’t spoil it for me. I told you that you have to clean up your mess. Those messes of yours, I don’t want to bother with them at all. Go figure out the ending yourself. ”
Jonas had come to report to Master Lambert in high spirits, but instead of being praised, he was scolded. He pursed up the corners of his lips, and then he heard Master Lambert barking in a low voice, “Why haven’t you left yet? And don’t show such an expression either. What if others find out? You should not look for me in such public places in the future again. Leave! ”
When Master Lambert finished speaking, he raised a smile and walked in Bai Lixin’s direction with his glass of wine.
Jonas looked at the scene in front of him and felt that Mitchell was even more of an eyesore than the party.
……
Borg did what he said he would do. After the party, Jonas searched the internet for posts about him and found that the negative news had already disappeared.
With a soft sigh of relief, Jonas went to sleep.
But the next morning, before seven o’clock, Jonas received a call from Borg.
His voice was so urgent and tense that Jonas could hear his anxiety through the phone: “Jonas, stay at home today, don’t go anywhere, and don’t open the door no matter who knocks!”
On hearing these words from Borg, Jonas, who had been dazed, came to his senses with a start.
He abruptly lifted the covers and stood up from the bed, a bad feeling flashing in his heart. “What’s wrong?”
“I had someone slowly remove your negative press yesterday as I always do. But I didn’t expect that it wouldn’t fade away this time like it always does. It instead caused a greater reaction.”
The unease in Jonas’ mind increased, “What reaction?”
“Yayaxi’s death has been pulled out,” Borg said, in a low voice.
Jonas’s heart thumped, “How did it come out? And how was I involved? Hasn’t he been dead for a while now?”
Borg frowned and bit his lip. “Jonas, if the other party was an ordinary person, everything could have dissipated slowly. But the other party is the wife of the future head of the Lambert family. Anyway, you don’t have to worry about anything. Rest at home. I’ll help you postpone all your work for the time being. Don’t go out until I tell you to. ”
“Don’t worry about anything?!” A fire rose in Jonas’ chest. “I got into this mess because I didn’t care about anything! You won’t tell me what’s going on, right? If you won’t tell me, I will see for myself!”
Jonas hung up the phone in a fury and rushed to his computer to open his browser. There was no need to search; the front-page article was full of things about him, Mitchell, and Mr. Yayaxi.
The real reason for Mitchell Lambert’s depression did not stem solely from the countless untrue negative stories he had been subjected to, but also from the sudden and violent death of his manager. Two days before Mitchell’s turn to sing in the competition, Mr. Yayaxi’s car was involved in a traffic accident. A giant transport vehicle travelling from the opposite direction hit his car, and he died instantly. And this vicious incident, which should have been a sensation, did not make it to the news.
Wasn’t this cover-up the same as how Jonas’s negative news disappeared overnight?
Was Mr. Yayaxi’s death man-made or an accident? If it was an accident, why was there no mention of such a terrible traffic accident in the media as it normally would be?
How was it possible that Jonas’s negative news disappeared overnight?
It was amazing that the negative news disappeared in the same way that the Guessing program’s videos disappeared after it was hacked. What exactly is stopping the netizens’ right to know the truth?
Did Jonas have something to do with Yayaxi’s death?
Were the hosts’ original unfinished words meant to break the information about Mr. Yayaxi’s death. But before that, he was intercepted by someone before he could break the story.
Was there someone manipulating the transmission of information on the internet? Was the information they were getting today real? Has someone been deliberately filtering information so that they only received what they wanted people to know, and sifting out the truth they didn’t want people to see?
The article was thousands of words long and was accompanied by several photos. They were photos of Mr. Yayaxi before he died; photos of the scene of the crash; photos of Bai Lixin’s skinny and bony body; and screenshots of the webcast platform that was hacked.
When Jonas saw this article, his hand gripped the corner of the table tightly. ‘Someone… someone has to be behind this!’
The marriage ceremony was scheduled for nine in the morning, and a banquet would be held that evening at the Lambert family home to entertain the guests.
The Haiyins, the Yakels, partners, Lambert’s side families and friends… anyone who had some acquaintance was on Master Lambert’s invite list.
