To test his bride, the rich groom dressed up in a shabby suit and arrived at the wedding in an old junk car. The bride’s reaction shocked everyone

Under his wife’s watchful eye, Brandon and his mother left the apartment. Mum, I’m starving. I was planning to have some lunch at home, said Brandon, clearly nervous.

Don’t worry, Son. You’ll eat in ten minutes. I came up with an excuse to talk to you face to face for once.

Let’s sit on that bench over there. I know what this is, Mum. As a former senior investigator, you’re going to interrogate me.

I used to joke about that, but now it’s true. The future of your only son and my only grandchild depends on it. So tell me, why did you ruin Adrian and Melanie’s wedding? What are you talking about, Mum? You know that Melanie refused to marry Adrian when he told her that he was poor and worked as a taxi driver, replied Brandon, exasperated.

But that’s not all. She was also flirting with a stranger behind Adrian’s back before the wedding. We saw and heard everything.

And why did you and Caitlin, the regulars in expensive restaurants, decide to go to such a cheap youth cafe? Caitlin called me. I was really surprised to go to such a place, but I didn’t say anything. And what a coincidence.

You were lucky enough to find two free tables in a crowded cafe. Yes, Mum. We saved our son from that lying girl and now he’s marrying a good girl from a decent and well-off family.

I will be pleased to be related to her father. Brandon, why are you so worried and stressed all the time? Your mother is still alive and your son is marrying a good girl, yet you’re on pins and needles. Tell me the truth.

Well, if you want to know the truth, then here it is. I invested a large sum of money into a business and lost it. We barely have enough money to cover the debts and the wedding is ahead.

Everything is difficult. Why did you give your son an expensive wedding in this difficult time and put yourself in even greater debt? Wouldn’t Adrian have understood your situation? No, Mum. Caitlin believes that if we have a grand wedding, then Nicholas, Crystal’s father, will treat us better in the future.

You know what, my dear? Don’t ruin your own life or your child’s life. It won’t end well. It’s better to cure your addiction to Caitlin, who plays you like a puppet.

By the way, I accidentally met Melanie yesterday. She works as a salesperson at her parent’s store. I can see through people and I can assure you that she’s an honest girl who just got a little confused.

Well, Mum, I don’t even want to listen. Brandon was already about to leave. Wait! She explained to me why she reacted like that and ran away.

You know, if your father had surprised me like that, I would have at least hit him with a frying pan. Beside, Melanie’s father just started recovering from the stroke he got after your mess. If you’re saving your money, make it a pre-nuptial agreement instead of a circus.

I heard that Melanie’s father is in a bad condition and I am very sorry for that. But Adrian offered him money for expenses and he refused. We decided that it would be a good lesson for our son to find out who is with you because of money and who is with you because of love.

Maybe you shouldn’t do such a test for your Caitlin. Yesterday, I saw a cheque that fell out of her purse. She bought herself another leather coat.

So now I understand why you have problems with money. I could live off that amount for half a year. Mom, let’s end this conversation.

Stop accusing us. Adrian’s wedding will still take place. He’s busy preparing for the celebration.

Yes, I see. He’s preparing so much that he’s become pale in front of his laptop. He doesn’t even have time to eat.

Mom, he’s an IT specialist. That’s why he doesn’t leave his computer. Okay, do what you know.

Go eat. We’ll talk tonight. When Brandon left, Mrs. Sullivan called a taxi and went straight to the store to meet Melanie.

She told the girl about her suspicions and convinced her to meet again with the guy to whom, according to Caitlin, she confessed her love. Melanie refused at first, but Adrian’s grandmother convinced her that this meeting would help her uncover a serious moral crime and the future of Mrs. Sullivan’s family and maybe Melanie’s future depends on whether this guy agrees to meet. Although Mrs. Sullivan’s ideas seemed partly absurd to Melanie, after an hour of conversation with the charming investigator, her doubts disappeared on their own…
