"Mom, Dad, I don't want to marry a ninety-year-old man." In the reception room, a young woman wearing a pale blue dress, with an innocent face, tearfully protested.
"Silly girl, your mother is doing this for your good. Alexander's health is failing and he won't be with us for long. After his death, his property will be yours.
After Alexander dies, you will still be a virgin. Isn't it good to then marry the man you love?" Mrs. Smith said with a smile, her eyes full of shrewd calculation.
"I won't marry him! If you're so keen on it, why don't you marry this ninety-year-old man!" The young girl shook her head, her face stubborn.
Slap!
A clear slap resounded as Mr. Smith smacked his daughter across the face.
"You're really disobedient. You must do as I say today. If you dare to mess this up, believe it or not, I will cut ties with you!" Mr. Smith threatened viciously, his expression mean.
"Alexander is on his way. Remember to make a good impression, we need him to take a liking to you." Mr. Smith said menacingly.
The young girl held her face, glared at her father, and sat down on the luxurious sofa.
Mrs. Smith, a woman still possessing charm, smilingly said to her daughter: "Jessica, you must treasure this opportunity. Since Alexander has agreed to meet us, it means he is interested in you.
I have already inquired from Alexander's personal doctor. He said Alexander only has a maximum of three months to live. After you marry him, endure for three months, and our family will become the wealthiest in America!"
Jessica didn't respond, her eyes brimming with tears of grievance.
She had just turned eighteen this year, an age full of youth and vitality. She should be enjoying the pleasures of youth, pursuing her dreams with her peers, instead of becoming a pawn in a political marriage.
At this moment, all Jessica wanted was to escape from this cold mansion, escape from this mad world.
Seeing Jessica's silence, Mrs. Smith waved her hand impatiently. "Alright, Jessica, stop sulking. You should thank your father. He has arranged such a bright future for you."
Jessica wanted to argue, but seeing her father's palm lift once more, she sighed, closed her eyes, and a tear slipped slowly down her cheek.
How could Jessica willingly marry an old man? At his age, he could probably only drool all over her, incapable of doing anything else.
"The master has arrived!"
At this moment, Alexander, assisted by his maid Sofia, walked in with great difficulty, swaying with each step, as if a gust of wind could knock him over.
Mrs. Smith's eyes lit up. It seemed that the private doctor's prediction was quite conservative. With his frail appearance, she doubted he would even make it a month.
Upon seeing Alexander, Jessica's despair deepened. Her gaze was vacant and her heart filled with despair.
At this moment, Alexander also noticed the young woman sitting on the sofa. Even though she kept her head down, her figure was very slender, her bust full and upright, like a blooming flower.
He quietly activated his system function to scan her. Instantly, a dazzling light rose from the woman.
She has achieved a rating of C!
Alexander was shocked. This woman had a higher rating than Sofia, achieving a comprehensive grade of C.
"Alexander, how have you been lately?" Mr. and Mrs. Smith stood up, speaking with broad smiles on their faces.
"Today, we have brought our daughter to visit you, mainly for the purpose of..."
"There's no need for further words. I agree."
Before Mr. and Mrs. Smith could finish their sentence, Alexander interrupted them, agreeing decisively.
Everyone in the living room was stunned.
That was too straightforward!
After a brief moment of surprise, Mrs. Smith finally asked half-believingly.
"In that case, how about holding the wedding in a month?"
"A month is too long. Let's do it tomorrow, at my 90th birthday banquet!" Alexander said decisively, causing a sensation.
Upon hearing this, Jessica was dumbstruck. She clutched the corner of her skirt tightly until Mr. and Mrs. Smith dragged her away.
Once Alexander agreed, Jessica's parents were obviously very willing, especially when they heard that the wedding would be held the next day.
What if Alexander changed his mind? The sooner, the better!
Soon, news that the wealthiest man was about to marry spread across America, causing a sensation.
A man who was about to die was actually going to get married.
"Despite being the wealthiest man in America, Alexander has no children. He probably wants to have a child to inherit his wealth. But, isn't 90 a bit too late?"
People all over the state were discussing in private. The tycoons who were invited began to prepare their gifts, ready to attend the wedding the next day.
After bidding farewell to the Smiths, Alexander, assisted by Sofia, returned to his room.
Sofia hesitated, wanting to say something but not knowing how to begin.
She couldn't understand why Alexander, in his current condition, still wanted to marry.
"Sofia, you can leave now."
Alexander dismissed Sofia. After she left, he struggled to sit up from the bed and took out a system-rewarded blue pill.
He had to restore his body first. Otherwise, after the wedding, he would only be able to watch when it came to the wedding night and be unable to do anything.
Supreme Yin-Yang was a dual cultivation technique that required both male and female to cooperate in order to reach the highest realm of cultivation. This technique has a long history, reportedly thousands of years, and is hailed as the supreme method in the cultivation world.
However, this technique has also caused controversy in history. Some people think it's too intimate, involving relationships between sexes, and should not be publicly taught.
Others argue that only a successful male-female pair can truly cultivate the power of Supreme Yin-Yang, and this restriction is unfair for single cultivators.
Besides this cultivation technique, there were also two blue pills called Supreme Viagra.
As the name implies, Supreme Viagra is a potent remedy for strengthening the body and restoring vitality, its effect is tens of thousands of times stronger than those sold in stores.
Next, Alexander took the blue pill and fell asleep.
In a blink of an eye, a day had passed.
Today was Alexander's 90th birthday and also his wedding day. His seaside villa was decorated like heaven.
This majestic villa sits on a private white sandy beach, with the azure sea rolling endlessly at its feet. The sunlight spilled over the ocean, creating a beautiful golden trail.
Rows of elaborately decorated long tables were arranged in the spacious garden, filled with various delicacies and champagne. Around the villa, there were tropical plants and some rare flowers, blooming with the most beautiful colors under the sunlight.
The theme of today's wedding was "Love in the Sunset," so the entire villa inside and out was decorated in gold.
The floor of the hall was embedded with golden tiles, the ceiling hung chandeliers shimmering with golden light, and various art pieces and sculptures were painted with gold.
All the waiters wore gold uniforms, golden gloves, and warm smiles on their faces.
In addition, aristocrats from America, real estate tycoons, political celebrities, and wealthy individuals from around the world all dressed in their most lavish outfits, bringing smiles of blessing, were present.
Soon, when Alexander appeared in a suit, everyone showed a surprised look.
The Alexander of today had a rosy complexion, walked with steady steps, and although he still had white hair and a face full of wrinkles, his overall energy had undergone a massive change.
Where was the image of a man about to die?
