156 A Slap in the Face

Once the marriage certificate photo was revealed, the scene erupted into an uproar.

Lewis scanned the crowd with a contemptuous smile. “Surely none of you are still questioning the

authenticity of this marriage certificate, are you? Do I need to take each of you to the courthouse to verify

it?”

Everyone present was dumbfounded.

Isla’s pupils shrank violently as she looked at Keira in disbelief.

Against others, Jake could contend or use some

forceful measures, but it was Jake’s nature to fear

Oliver and Nathan’s faces darkened, and both were somewhat disappointed.

They exchanged a glance, their complexions looking

extremely ugly.

They had thought that they could use this event to topple Lewis, but they hadn’t expected things turn out

to be like this!

Seeing the marriage certificate, Keira arched an eyebrow.

She suddenly understood why Lewis was late! He had been fishing!

The curtain was originally under the control of the first branch of the family; it was meant to display private photos, but now it showed the marriage certificate, indicating Lewis had known it all along.

But Lewis took advantage of the situation, slapping the first branch’s face!
