My Best Friend Married into a Wealthy Family for Me

Hannah was even more relieved to see Harriet so happy.

"Then smash the cake for fun, as long as you are happy, Harriet."

Soon, piece after piece of cake. It blew on my face again and again. My ears were filled with their unbridled laughter.

I clenched my fists tightly, trying to restrain myself from exploding. Tell myself again and again.

It was not time yet!

***

Soon, it was the day of Harriet and Franklin's wedding.

It was indeed a wealthy family's wedding. Amid the sound of salutes, I watched Harriet get into the wedding car in the envious eyes of countless people. The luxurious motorcade drove around the entire downtown area and announced their wedding to millions of people in the city.

The most luxurious hotel in Hilton City was also decorated with lanterns and flowers. There were hundreds of tables of guests at the wedding banquet, which was enough to reflect the status of the Morris Family in Hilton City.

All my high school classmates and teachers were invited. When they saw me wearing a bridesmaid dress, they all showed surprise.

"Oh my god! Isn't this Kelly? She actually has the nerve to be Harriet's bridesmaid!"

"This woman is really desperate. Mr. Morris has married Harriet. Does she still think she can please them by being a bridesmaid?"

"Hahaha, she's got no self-respect at all!"

Harriet’s goal of having me as a bridesmaid was clearly achieved.

Our old classmates stared, pointing fingers and casting contemptuous looks my way. Harriet’s smug smile nearly reached her ears.

Faced with their sarcasm and ridicule, I stayed silent, my expression calm.

Standing in the audience, I watched indifferently as Harriet and Franklin stood on stage.

Under the MC's enthusiastic guidance, they exchanged rings. Amid applause and cheers, they kissed each other.

When it was time to toss the bouquet, Harriet didn’t throw it randomly. Instead, she handed it directly to me with a beaming smile.

Taking the microphone, she looked at me warmly and said, “Kelly, we grew up together and I’ve always considered you my best friend. So, I also hope you can be happy.”

“I hope that through this bouquet, we can grow closer. Franklin has a younger brother who’s always liked you. I sincerely wish for you two to be together.”

The moment she finished speaking, Harriet glanced at the audience and all eyes landed on Franklin’s younger brother.

He smiled at me with a silly grin, drool glistening at the corners of his mouth.

I had thought Harriet invited me to be a bridesmaid to flaunt her life in front of our old classmates. But this? I hadn’t seen this coming.

Hannah jumped up excitedly, her voice brimming with joy.

“Great, great! It’s such a blessing for my little girl to marry Franklin’s brother!”

“Kelly, Harriet truly thinks of you. Why don’t you thank her?”

Hannah’s excitement only fueled the crowd’s laughter.

“Hahaha, she tried so hard to suck up and ended up with the landlord’s foolish son!”

“But hey, she’s still marrying into the Morris Family. Isn’t that her dream come true?”

“This is a win for her—mission accomplished!”

I stayed quiet, my icy gaze fixed on them.

Franklin’s face darkened as he sneered.

“What? Marrying my brother—does that feel beneath you?”
