Married in a Flash Embarking on the Journey to Wealth -
Chapter 229
Chapter 229
Jackson stepped out of the car in a full suit. He dressed casually most of the time but looked rather handsome now that he was dressed smartly.
Millie’s looks were what surprised the others most. She lacked manners and the necessary demeanor,
so designer brands often looked out of place on her.
At the moment, she was dressed in a black dress that actually made her look like a noble lady.
Sensing the eyes on her, Millie lifted her chin and looked even prouder than Kimberly.
Her colleagues and their family members swarmed them.
“Millie, you look so pretty. We almost didn’t recognize you!”
“I just changed into a different outfit. I’m still me.” Millie smiled.
She wanted to tell everyone that she was pretty no matter what she wore.
Since Jackson was the one treating, the others could only agree.
If they hadn’t spotted the thick layer of makeup on Millie’s face up close, they might have believed in
what she said.
Millie didn’t notice the way others feigned smiles and held Jackson’s arm. “I’m sorry, but it’s so hard
to find parking here. I drove a whole circle before I found one. I didn’t want to park my new car by the road, or I’d cry my heart out if someone scratched it.”
This was the center of Seacester and even the most luxurious car needed to line up for a parking spot.
What was most shocking was that this car was sold for at least 150 thousand, and Jackson had bought
it for Millie.
She had indeed climbed her way up the social ladder.
“Millie, is that your car?”
“Whatever belongs to Jackson is mine,” Millie said proudly.
One of the colleagues asked, “Are you two getting married soon?”
They all turned to Jackson, and he simply played along with a smile.
Seeing that Jackson didn’t deny, Millie revealed a delighted yet shy expression.
She neither confirmed nor denied her colleague’s theory. “Stop talking about it. It’s embarrassing.”
Colleagues exchanged knowing glances and were all convinced that Millie’s good fortune was
imminent.
Perhaps the flattery from everyone left Millie slightly disoriented. When she saw Kimberly, who was being praised by everyone, she couldn’t help but feel a bit disdainful.

She glanced at Kimberly and teased, “Kimberly, didn’t you say you were bringing your fiancé? Where is he? You wouldn’t disrespect Jackson, right? At an old age, your fiancé should know some manners.”
Millie spoke as if she were already Jackson’s wife and showed complete disregard for Kimberly.
Kimberly tightened her grip on her bag and said with a smile, “He’ll be here in a moment.”
As soon as she said that, a man in a striped suit walked over. “Darling, did you wait long?”
The man who spoke with a cringy tone was Kimberly’s fiancé.
Kimberly immediately went up to him and gave him a kiss. “Waiting for you is worth it.”
The man tapped her on the nose. “You’re so sweet.”
Everyone frowned upon hearing their exchange.
Age aside, why was he so corny? What did Kimberly see in him?
Confident in his charm, the man explained with a smirk, “Sorry, there was a company meeting today. As the boss, I couldn’t leave.”
Hearing that he was the boss of a firm, everyone immediately put on their smiles. “No worries, we’re not in a hurry.”
Kimberly smiled and glanced at Millie.
Millie dared to challenge her, so she looked forward to seeing how Millie would suffer later on.
Feeling embarrassed, Millie bit her lip and clung to Jackson to make her presence felt. “Alright, let’s go in for dinner.”
At that moment, a colleague said, “Why hasn’t Aurelia arrived yet? Could she be scared to come? After all, her husband damaged Mr. Morrison’s car before.”
Jackson sneered at the mention of Leslie. “I didn’t even do anything to them, and he’s already scared out of his wits? How useless.‘
”
Kimberly’s fiancé laughed. “It’s a wonder that a man like that can find a wife. Seems like Aurelia doesn’t have good taste.”
Laughter echoed among the crowd. However, their attention was soon drawn to the slowly approaching Maybach.
A car worth over 1.5 million dollars was extremely rare in Seacester, not to mention when it was
paired with the license plate with all 1’s.
The Maybach drove past the crowd.
Even though there were no parking spaces in front of the restaurant, the restaurant manager eagerly approached and directed the car to stop right outside the entrance.
A security guard was called to watch over it.
