When he saw Winifred hesitate, Tyr started to feel anxious. "What's wrong, Winifred? Don't you want to?"
"It's not that." Winifred shook her head immediately. "It's just…"
"Just what?"
"It's just too sudden."
Tyr was quiet for a moment before he held Winifred's hand. He took out a diamond ring that he had already prepared a few years ago and slid it into her finger. "This day is already six years late. So, it's not sudden at all. Don't worry, Winifred. I will protect you and Blair for the rest of my life. The wedding ceremony next Thursday will be a grand event. I will make everyone in the city give us their blessings."
Winifred smiled with a hint of bitterness. She knew that Tyr was just comforting her. In truth, her wedding ceremony with Tyr would just be a simple one, and not many people would show up to give their blessings. However, the fact that the man she would marry was the man she had waited for six years was already enough for her.
Winifred finally agreed to Tyr's proposal. Tyr was right. Those six years were spent waiting for this day.
After everything was settled, Tyr and Winifred went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get their marriage certificate the next day. With this, Tyr started preparing for their wedding ceremony. On that day, he would make Winifred the most beautiful and happiest bride in this world. Tyr had asked Winifred to contact her parents to come home. Since their daughter would be getting married, it was only natural for her parents to be present. However, Winifred outright refused him.
"Why?" Tyr was confused.
Winifred smiled bitterly. "If my parents knew that I was getting married to you, they'd definitely be against it. My mother has a terrible temper. She would tear the whole place down if she came. Let's not tell them for now. We can tell them after the ceremony is over."
This was a typical case of acting first and reporting later.
"Alright, we'll do as you wish." Tyr shrugged nonchalantly. "What about the Zea family members then? Do you want to inform them?"
Winifred was dumbfounded. She really wanted her grandfather and uncles' blessings. But would they attend the ceremony of her being wedded to Tyr?
"Yeah." Winifred nodded. "We have to."
"Alright!"
After it was decided, Tyr instructed Drake and his team to start preparing for his wedding ceremony. At the same time, Tyr was planning to give Winifred a present. A present that would make her stun the whole crowd on her wedding day.
The next day, in the afternoon, Tyr got a call from Drake. The man had called to inform Tyr that there was a necklace called 'Angel's Heart' inside Emerald Tower. It would be the most suitable present for Tyr to give to Winifred on their wedding day.
However, Emerald Tower did not plan to sell that necklace. They had collaborated with T. Voegele to put it for display instead. In their previous exhibition, this necklace had caused quite an uproar. If Tyr wanted this necklace, they would need to first deal with Emerald Tower. After all, this was a priceless piece. Purchasing it would not be an easy task.
Tyr did not know about jewelry and accessories, but he trusted Drake's taste. "That'll do," Tyr answered through the phone. "Get Jade Laurell from Emerald Tower to make the arrangements. If she can manage to reserve this necklace, I, Tyr Summers, will owe her a favor."
Jade Laurell, the queen of jewelry in Khanh City was the most successful woman inside this city. She was also one of the dignitaries under Drake Tucker. Once she had gotten news of this, Jade was excited beyond words. She was exhilarated not because she had found a buyer for 'Angel's Heart', but because Tyr Summers would owe her a favor.
Those who truly understood the caliber of Tyr Summers would know how much a favor from him weighed. It definitely could not compare to a mere necklace.
Jade immediately contacted T. Voegele. She had put in her best effort and finally reserved the 'Angel's Heart'.
That afternoon, with Drake's company, Tyr arrived at Emerald Tower to take a look at this world-class jewelry. The moment they laid eyes on this necklace, even Tyr was attracted by its magnificence. The 'Angel's Heart' was carved from the rarest blue diamond from South Africa, weighing 5.3 carats. This was a premium piece released by the world's first-class jewelry brand, T. Voegele. There were only thirteen pieces around the globe, and elite craftsmen produced them. The necklace implied affection and symbolized a life of light and happiness. It was worth eighty million dollars.
"This truly is a world-class premium necklace," Tyr exclaimed. "If Winifred wore this during our wedding, she would definitely be the most dazzling woman on earth. I'll take this necklace."
After Tyr had spoken, Jade immediately packed up the necklace for him. Tyr was prepared to swipe his card for the payment when Jade quickly said, "Brother Tyr, this is a gift for our sister-in-law. We won't take the money."
However, Tyr did not accept this offer. "Jade, I owe you one favor, but I don't plan on owing you another."
Jade gasped and quickly understood the meaning behind Tyr's words. She dared not say more and led Tyr to the counter personally for him to swipe his card.
In just one night, the news about the city center's owner spending eighty million to purchase the 'Angel's Heart' and his plans to marry the love of his life in an extravagant wedding next Thursday had caused a huge uproar within the city.
The whole city went into a flurry of discussions. Previously, the young tycoon's mysteriousness and modesty had already caused many public opinions. Many people were speculating the young tycoon's background and his looks. Now, this topic had been bumped up to the top of the charts. Countless men were green with envy, while numerous women cried themselves silly inside the toilets. Everyone was anticipating the arrival of next Thursday. They not only wanted to witness this extravagant wedding, but they also wanted to see this tycoon's real face. Above all that, they wanted to know who was this world's luckiest woman who would soon be wedded to this tycoon!
At the same time, within Zea Manor.
"Have you guys heard? The city center's owner will be hosting a grand wedding with the love of his life next Thursday. He has even spent eighty million to buy that T. Voegele's 'Angel's Heart' from Emerald Tower." When Jackson announced this news, his whole body was shuddering from excitement.
When the women of the Zea family heard this, deep envy and jealousy immediately surfaced on their expressions.
"Which lucky woman is marrying that tycoon?"
"I envy her so much!"
Jackson sighed. "The girl who can marry that tycoon must be the world's most perfect woman. Your envy is futile."
"It will be an opportunity for us to reverse the Zea Group's image in the eyes of that man on the day of the wedding."
