Chapter 1600

This was Summer’s first independent project, and we originally planned on having the whole family in

attendance to show our support. However, the school denied applications for leave due to the group

performance. Ashton, on the other hand, had to meet up with a difficult business partner and could only

make it to the closing ceremony. As such, I headed out with Emery, John, and his wife.

I found myself stunned speechless by the decorations at the venue the moment we got out of the car.

The city walls were covered with colorful lights, starting from the city gate, and both sides of the main

road were lined with red and orange flowers. The road was split in two by a red-colored guard rail

running through the middle.

I found myself so captivated by the beauty of the scenery before me that I felt like I was dreaming.

“Why are you spacing out? The opening ceremony is about to start. We’re attending it as special

guests, so we can’t afford to be late.”

Emery’s words snapped me out of my daze, and I quickly regained my composure before making my

way forward.

After the ribbon-cutting was done, Summer went on stage and took the microphone over from the

emcee as she said, “Thank you all for attending this cultural festival organized by Fuller Corporation.

We hope you will all have a great time here.”

The emcee quickly picked up where she left off and said excitedly, “As expected of the heiress of Fuller

Corporation! Ms. Summer truly is an elegant and beautiful young lady! Of course, she won’t be the only

one in this grand event! Make sure you don’t blink, because we are about to welcome all ninety-nine

couples who look just as great!”

His speech was followed by a series of fireworks and a performance by a musical ensemble as good-

looking couples dressed in traditional wedding attire made their way down the red carpet one after

another.

Each pair looked so amazing that the guests couldn’t help but wish them the best in marriage.

The sight of true love was a very beautiful one, and some of the younger girls among the guests found

themselves touched to tears by the mere sight of those loving couples standing next to each other.

“Bad news, Ms. Summer! Two of our female models have just informed us that they won’t be able to

make it due to some unforeseen events!”

Everyone was so immersed in the moment that it took them about half a minute to react to the anxious

voice behind them.

Summer’s assistant got really agitated. “What the hell? Why is this happening now? Hurry up and look

for replacements from other shows!”

“We’ve already contacted them, but all the nearby businesses have postponed their shows to avoid

having their spotlight stolen by our event! Those who are able to help out would take at least an hour to

get here, so I don’t think they’ll make it on time…”

“I don’t care! This is your problem! By hook or by crook, I need you to get those models here and

prepare them for the red carpet walk!”

“I…”

“Forget it.” Summer stopped her assistant when she saw the difficult situation the messenger was in. “I

know you’ve put a lot of effort into the preparations for this cultural festival, but this is an unforeseen

situation. No one wanted this to happen, so you shouldn’t be blaming them like this. Let’s just try to

figure something out…”

The assistant let out a depressed sigh and took a moment to calm down before asking, “How about we

just have ninety-seven couples participate in this event instead? With that many couples coming on

stage, I bet no one will even notice the two that are missing!”

“No. This opening ceremony is being broadcast live by dozens of top media companies in the country.

A sudden change of plans like this will be disastrous for us,” Jared spoke up all of a sudden.
