Chapter 1852: The richest man

Sadly, Atlas couldn’t make it to Nina and Finn’s wedding. But even so, he had sent the couple quite a lot of gifts along with a letter. Aside from him, everyone gathered on this joyful day to celebrate and witness Nina and Finn tying the knot.

And once the wedding was over, it was time to... PARTY.

"Wow... just look at them," Lily remarked, watching Nina and Finn slow dance in the middle of the venue. "Their first dance as husband and wife looks so magical."

Her eyes shimmered, still a bit teary at the thought that Nina was getting married.

"I can’t believe I used to hate her," she wiped her eyes with the corner of her hand, facing everyone around the table.

Seated around their table were Penny, Grace, Ginnie, and Kiara. The three of them were doing their own thing: Penny was already hogging all the food while Grace, Ginnie, and Kiara were talking about something.

"Girls, what are you doing?" Lily frowned, getting the ladies’ attention. "Can we please pay attention to the newlyweds?"

"Lily, I see them every day," Penny muttered, her mouth full. "And I’m really hungry because no one allowed me to eat, so this damn dress would fit. The wedding’s done, so time for me to eat."

"Penny, are you pregnant?" Grace asked, tilting her head to the side.

Penny paused as her mouth opened, revealing all the food inside. But before she could scold herself, Ginnie spoke.

"Penny, you’re on your period today," Ginnie reminded her. "Remember, you needed a tampon earlier?"

"Oh." Penny closed her mouth and laughed. "Right. I’m just hungry — hehe."

Then, she continued eating while the ladies shook their heads. Even so, this wasn’t surprising. Penny’s appetite had always been big, even back then. It was just that she did so much work that her weight gain wasn’t as obvious.
