After Divorce I Married a Tycoon-Chapter 140: Instant Karma

The fiasco at the Sinclair family’s wedding banquet soon reached Claire Mercer’s ears.

She heard that because there weren’t enough guests, the Sinclair family had gone out onto the street and, under the guise of charity, pulled in passersby to eat for free.

But the people who showed up were all elderly men and women.

And they had turned the high-end, luxurious banquet hall into something as chaotic as a marketplace...

Once again, she couldn’t help but cover her mouth and laugh out loud.

Seeing her sitting beside him, her eyes crinkling with mirth, Adrian Sutton was in a good mood as well.

"What’s so funny?"

The video Roxanne Peyton had sent her made Claire Mercer’s stomach hurt from laughing.

She simply handed her phone directly to Adrian Sutton.

The screen showed the group chat between Claire Mercer, Roxanne Peyton, and Stella Thorne.

It was filled with intel on the wedding next door, gathered for her by the gossip duo.

The video showed dozens of tables filled with elderly men and women, the hall as raucous and noisy as a marketplace.

Adrian Sutton recognized it at a glance as one of his family’s hotel banquet halls—specifically, the site of Gavin Sinclair’s wedding next door.

He had known all along that Gavin Sinclair’s wedding wouldn’t have many guests.

After all, it was his plan to divert the guests the Sinclairs had invited over to Claire’s adoption ceremony.

’Weren’t they planning a wedding of the century?’

’In that case, he would give them an unforgettable "wedding of the century."’

He had long since sent people to keep an eye on the commotion over there.

When he learned they were actually going to pull strangers off the street to fill the desolate wedding venue, he naturally had to lend them a helping hand.

’If they wanted to pull in a crowd to save face, then they should get a bigger one.’

So, the subsequent wave of elderly men and women who arrived to find no seats was, of course, his handiwork.

With no seats, those women were bound to cause a scene.

The Sinclair family’s "grand wedding" was already plagued with one problem after another.

With the women kicking up such a fuss, wouldn’t that make it truly unforgettable for them?

But of course, he couldn’t let Claire know about any of the things he had done behind the scenes.

He feigned ignorance about the situation at Gavin Sinclair’s wedding and asked Claire Mercer.

"Is this Gavin Sinclair’s wedding? Why does it look like a senior citizens’ association meeting?"

Seeing Adrian Sutton’s deadpan expression as he compared Gavin Sinclair’s wedding to a gathering of a senior citizens’ association...

Claire Mercer let out a snort.

She nearly spat out the water she had just sipped.

"A senior citizens’ association..."

Adrian Sutton asked innocently, "Isn’t it?"

Claire Mercer suppressed her laughter. "This is Gavin Sinclair and Scarlett Jewel’s wedding."

"But now that you mention it, it really does look like a luncheon for a seniors’ group."

"I wonder what genius came up with this idea to make the wedding so... lively."

"Honestly, it’s a pretty unique wedding, isn’t it?"

Adrian Sutton smiled faintly, his lips curving. "It is certainly novel and unexpected."

Then, another video came through.

She opened it to see the scene where an old woman, after being furiously berated by Rose Gable, was lying on the floor, tearfully accusing her.

And of course, the spectacular moment when Felix Sinclair slapped Rose was also captured.

In the video, she could faintly make out Scarlett Jewel in her wedding dress.

Her face was ashen, her eyes blazing with fury as she glared at the crowd of old women.

Claire Mercer could just imagine what a lively spectacle Gavin Sinclair’s wedding had become.

She couldn’t help but laugh out loud again.

Soon, everything that happened at the Sinclair family’s wedding banquet was recorded and posted online.

From the desolate start of the wedding, to the later "senior citizens’ luncheon" vibe, and then the scene with the old woman and Rose Gable...

It all sparked heated discussions online.

"LMAO, the eldest son of the richest family gets married and not even half the expected guests show up? Where did they screw up?"

"Remember that old Sinclair matriarch who tried to drug someone and ruin their reputation?"

"Remember the Sinclair family’s madam who used a fake marriage certificate and tricked Ms. Mercer into being a free nanny for her son for two years?"

"Remember that little Sinclair tyrant who was a campus bully and threw her weight around?"

"So, is it possible that because the Sinclair family’s reputation is trash and their behavior is so shameless, people just don’t want anything to do with them and refused to attend the wedding?"

"Serves them right! Instant karma, HAHAHAHA!!!"

"I heard they had so few guests that the Sinclair family paid these seniors to show up and fill the seats so they wouldn’t be embarrassed by how empty it was."

"And they thought hiring a bunch of old folks wouldn’t be embarrassing? They’re just deluding themselves."

"This is definitely the most unique wedding I’ve ever seen. Thanks to the Sinclairs for providing me with enough laughs to last six months."

"The scumbag and the homewrecker actually had the nerve to hold such a high-profile wedding. Now they’ve made complete fools of themselves, hahaha."

"..."

Remembering all the things the Sinclair family had done, netizens who saw the wedding videos all jumped in to mock them.

Then, someone posted Claire Mercer’s solo poster from the hotel entrance alongside Gavin Sinclair and Scarlett Jewel’s wedding photo online.

"The one in the wedding photo is the new wife, and the one next to it is the ex, Ms. Mercer. See the difference?"

"All I see is that Sinclair must be blind."

"Or maybe he’s brain-damaged."

"Is there even a comparison between the new wife and the ex?"

"Hey, don’t say that about Sinclair. What if he just has a thing for plastic surgery disasters?"

"The homewrecker is totally outclassed by Ms. Mercer in every way. The scumbag has... unique taste."

"Don’t be so hard on Sinclair. A scumbag like him can only end up with a shameless homewrecker. Isn’t it better to just let Ms. Mercer shine on her own?"

"When you put it that way, I guess Sinclair actually did a good deed."

"..."

In an instant, the contrast between Gavin Sinclair’s wedding fiasco and the photos of the three individuals became another hot topic of discussion.

All of the Sinclair family’s past deeds were dredged up and dragged through the mud again by the masses.

Meanwhile, the matter of Claire Mercer being adopted by the Rowan family was rarely mentioned.

Even when it was brought up, it was quickly drowned out by other hot topics, failing to make any significant waves. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

While the internet was buzzing with discussion, Claire Mercer’s adoption ceremony was still in full swing.

Mrs. Rowan and Mr. Rowan sat in the center of the stage as Claire Mercer presented them with gifts she had prepared, respectfully kowtowed, served them tea, and then formally changed how she addressed them...

In return, Mrs. and Mr. Rowan gave her a red envelope for the change of address and officially announced the name they had chosen for her.

"Luna Rowan!"

The guests below couldn’t help but start whispering among themselves.

"Luna? That name means ’bright moon.’ It’s clear Mrs. Rowan plans to dote on her like her own daughter."

"This grand adoption ceremony the Rowan Family is holding for her says it all."

"This young woman, who was once tormented and mistreated by the Mercer and Sinclair families, now has a status that’s a world apart from what it used to be."

"I heard even Mr. and Mrs. Sutton came. That shows just how much Mrs. Rowan values her."

At that moment, Mr. and Mrs. Sutton were sitting at the head table, watching Claire Mercer on the stage.

The more the old couple watched, the more satisfied and fond of her they became.

But then, thinking about how their eldest grandson still hadn’t formally brought her home to meet them, the couple’s gaze toward Adrian Sutton instantly lost its earlier warmth.

Adrian Sutton felt the sharp glares from his maternal grandparents and thought, ’This is bad.’
