Chapter 348: James, Are You Really Going To Marry Me?

This news shocked the two, especially Janice.

She knew that Yvonne did not like James but she didn’t expect her to escape from the wedding before the ceremony.

<It is incredible. But Yvonne won’t do things like this. There must be a reason.>

So she asked, "Did they find her?"

Rob shook his head. "I don’t know."

Janice could not sit still any longer. "No, I have to call Yvonne."

As she spoke, she was about to stand up.

All of a sudden, the doors of the auditorium creaked open.

Everyone looked over and saw a small figure coming against the light at the door.

Under the gazes of the guests, Yvonne, who was still dressed casually, slowly walked towards the sacred platform.

Because she was wearing ordinary clothes, not a wedding dress. The guests all began to talk about it.

"Who is she?"

"Is she the bride?"

"I don’t know."

Yvonne pretended not to hear them and continued to walk forward.

At this time, James was on the stage. Because of her appearance, he was relieved, but when he saw her clothes, he couldn’t help but worry again.

He thought, "Is she trying to reject me?"

Then the emcee stepped forward and said, "Mr. Taylor, how... how should I host it later?"

The emcee had never met anyone who wore so casual in her own wedding ceremony, so he didn’t know what to do.

James frowned.

In fact, he didn’t know what to do.

This wedding was a bet for him.

However, to him, what she wore was not important. What was important was whether she was willing to come or not.

<At least I can have an answer. No matter what the answer is, I would accept it.>

When he thought up to here, he said, "Depend on the circumstances."

The emcee wiped his sweat and retreated back.

By this time, Yvonne stood in front of him.

She looked into his eyes and said, "James, are you really going to marry me?"

She looked serious.

Hearing such a question at this time, James smiled bitterly, "If I didn’t really want to marry you, why would I stand here?"

He felt somewhat helpless.

Hearing this, Yvonne seemed to have made up her mind and nodded. "Well, I’m willing to marry you."

James was stunned. He thought she was going to reject him, but she actually agreed.

He was overjoyed.

"Really?"

He couldn’t believe his ears.

She nodded. "However, I have a condition."

Hearing this, James paused again, but he still asked, "Tell me, no matter what the condition is, I will agree to it."

He seemed to be in a hurry.

Yvonne suddenly felt sorry for treating him like this, but since she was already here, she had to harden her heart. Then she said, "I want you to promise me that you will do everything to destroy the White Enterprise." She said through gritted teeth while her eyes were slightly red.

It seemed this wish was from the deepest part of her heart.

James was stunned. He had thought of many conditions she might ask, but he had not expected it to be this.

"Is this the reason why she is willing to marry me?" thought James.

Seeing that he did not answer, Yvonne seemed to know his answer.

Although the White family had declined now, it was still a large family with solid commercial foundation in Tomaville.

...

<As the saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse.

Although the business of the Taylors is booming day by day, the company is still a rising star. In addition, the assets of the Taylors are not concentrated in one person’s hands. Therefore, it is difficult for James to destroy the White Enterprise by himself. It is understandable that he has misgivings or even refuses.>

In fact, she had already thought of the possibility of being rejected by him before coming here.

<After all, James is a businessman. For him, business comes first. He would not easily risk for a woman. Moreover, I don’t think I am so important for him that he could take a huge risk to crush White Enterprise.>

She knew that she was forcing him. Before this, she had never wanted her marriage to have any impurities.

<I always hate people for using marriage for profit. Yet now, I take the initiative to make such a trade. It is truly funny.>

But even so, she still made up her mind.

She said, "I know it’s difficult. If you don’t want to do it, I won’t force you. Pretend that I’ve never been here."

After that, she was about to leave.

However, James grabbed her arm.

He replied from behind. "I do."

Only then did Yvonne turn around and stare at his extremely serious face.

"I promise you."

Hearing him confirm it, she completely believed him. However, there was not a trace of joy in her heart.

She said, "All right, let’s go to the Civil Affairs Bureau and get our marriage certificate."

She was afraid that the longer she stayed here, the more likely she would go back on her word.

James did not ask any more questions. He just nodded and said, "Okay."

After that, the two left there under everyone’s watchful eyes.

All the guests were stunned and began to talk about it.

Janice was also confused.

"What’s going on?"

She looked at Christopher.

Christopher was also at a loss.

He stood up and said, "Since James has left, let’s leave too."

"But Yvonne..."

Before Janice could finish speaking, Christopher interrupted, "I believe they will give us a reasonable explanation later."

Upon hearing him say this, Janice fell silent.

After James and Yvonne left the wedding venue, they went straight to the Civil Affairs Bureau. According to the usual procedures, they soon got their marriage certificates.

When they came out, James looked relaxed. He looked at the red official certificate and felt that all the bitterness had come to an end.

He knew that this was not a marriage due to love, but he was also satisfied because he could marry her.

He turned his head to look at her. After a moment of hesitation, he stretched out his wide palm.

Yvonne stared at his hand and hesitated for a moment before reaching out hers.

James did not care about her hesitation. He only held her hand tightly.

In his eyes, what he wanted was to marry her. As for her condition, he felt that it was trivial.

He had never liked White Enterprise. If it weren’t for Yvonne, he would have already attacked it.

Besides, he realized that Grace had fooled him with regards to the wedding.

He had only found out the truth before the wedding. It turned out that the news Yvonne was going to marry Stanley was just a part of Grace’s plot.

...

<She dared to boldly deceive me. I will not leave the matter at that. Even if Yvonne didn’t ask, I wouldn’t let her off easily. However, before Yvonne said the condition, I might spare the White Enterprise for the sake of her. Now it seems that there is no need at all.>

"Let’s go."

He held her hand and walked toward the car.

On the way back, Yvonne just silently sat in the passenger seat and listened to James’s plan for their future. Seeing that she was not interested after talking for a long time, James suggested, "let’s go on our honeymoon."

However, Yvonne looked over and said, "Let’s talk about the honeymoon later."

Although James was a little disappointed, he still said, "Okay, I’ll listen to you. Then...

shall I accompany you back to pack your luggage now?"

James asked for her opinion.

After a pause, Yvonne looked at him and said, "James, I want to discuss something with you."

"Go ahead."

"I don’t want to move yet."

Hearing this, he surprisedly asked, "Are you saying that you plan to still live in the same place?"

She nodded. "I’m not used to moving around. If you mind..."

"I don’t mind."

He interrupted, "I can stay anywhere."

Hearing this, Yvonne did not continue.

At this moment, his phone suddenly rang.

He took a look and found that it was from his mother.

He knew what his mother would say. He hung up the phone with a frown.

However, Mrs. Taylor wouldn’t give up and kept on calling.

Listening to the continuous ringing of his phone, she could roughly guess what was going on.

They ran away at the wedding venue. There must have been a mess now.

Then she said, "Pick it up. No matter what, you have to give her an explanation. If it doesn’t work out, push the blame onto me. I’ll apologize to your family."

James immediately refused. "What are you thinking? You are my wife, how can I let you take the blame? Don’t worry, I can handle it."

Hearing this, she did not say anything else.

Soon, the car stopped in front of the apartment.

James helped her placed the suitcase at the door. Then he said, "I have to go back to the hotel. Stay at home and don’t go anywhere. Wait for me to come back."

She nodded. Before he left, she said, "Explain it to them."

"Got it."

He turned around and left.

Only then did Yvonne enter the room with the suitcase.

When she returned to the place she was familiar with, she felt as if a lifetime had passed.

Before she knew about those things, she once thought that she could do whatever she wanted and live a free life.

But now, her original thoughts seemed to become a joke.

With a family feud, she couldn’t still do whatever she wanted.

When she thought that she might be trapped in the cage of marriage, her eyes involuntarily darkened.

In the hotel...

When James rushed over, only Mrs. Taylor was left in the auditorium.

She sat alone, staring vacantly at a certain part of the room with a sullen expression on her face.

Seeing this, James felt extremely guilty.

He admitted that he was a bit self-willed.

He arranged and prepared the wedding without telling her.

Besides, during the wedding ceremony, he directly ran away with Yvonne, leaving his mother alone to face the guests. This was indeed too much.
