Chapter 422 Having Second Thoughts

At Jacaster, the wedding between Stanley and Mindy was postponed.

With Zachary arrested and Fuller Group thrown into chaos, there was no way Stanley would hold a wedding amidst such turmoil.

Mindy was also a bit worried that Stanley might get dragged into Zachary's troubles.

Since the wedding date was still up in the air, Stanley decided to head back to Mindy's hometown with her for a visit.

Mindy's hometown was Riverstone Village, located in Huxville of the Northern District in Jacaster.

The villagers of Riverstone Village had long known that Mindy, Angus Schmidt's eldest daughter, had found herself a wealthy boyfriend in the city.

Her boyfriend was incredibly generous, so Mindy was able to buy appliances for the house, purchase them a car, and even arrange school transfers for her younger siblings.

Word had it that the family was even planning to buy a house in the city once Mindy and her boyfriend got married.

It truly sparked envy in others.

Everyone was saying that Angus was indeed fortunate to have raised such a wonderful daughter.

Yet, some people made cynical remarks, suggesting that a wealthy city dweller would never marry a rural woman who hadn't even finished high school and that he was just toying with her.

Some even commented about how it wasn't surprising that there were people willing to be in a sugar relationship, considering how rich one could become after spending a few years with a wealthy person. Even if they parted ways in the end, they would still not be at a loss.

Unexpectedly, a beaming Angus announced to his family and friends that Mindy and her boyfriend had set their wedding date for July. He then invited everyone to join them for a grand feast at a city hotel when the time came.

With that, everyone was convinced, and their envy surged stronger.

Along with this, Angus' reputation in the village has greatly improved.

Angus was a notorious cheapskate, always seeking to take advantage of any small benefit. His stinginess had earned him a poor reputation among the villagers in the past.

Now that he has a wealthy son-in-law from the city, they might have to rely on him for help in the future.
