My Groom Made Me Ride a Scooter to Our Wedding, So I Married a Mafia Don Chapter 05

Ethan grabbed my arm instantly, staring at Maddox with disgust. “Who the hell are you?! Where’d you find this cheap actor?”

In his mind, a man in a white shirt riding a shared scooter was a broke nobody.

Maddox didn’t even lift an eyelid. His deep black eyes locked onto me.

“If you nod, my queen,” Maddox said calmly, “before sunset, I will tear the Kingsley family out by the roots and lay it at your feet as my betrothal offering.”

The cold-blooded elites behind Maddox parked their scooters and chuckled low.

“Damn, the boss called the entire Syndicate high council just to propose on a scooter?”

“Never thought I’d ride five miles on a shared scooter to watch a proposal.”

“Maddox, you really dare propose to Princess Vance? The whole underground is going to explode!”

Cynthia covered her mouth and shrieked with laughter.

“What? Buy the Kingsley family as a betrothal offering? Hahaha! Sophia, where did you find these street thugs to put on a show? This is the most ridiculous joke I’ve ever heard!”

No one paid her any attention. The dangerous men in suits all spoke in a low, synchronized chant. “Marry him! Marry him!”

I looked into Maddox’s deep eyes, a playful smile tugging at my lips, and nodded.

Maddox’s mouth curved into a dangerous arc. He stood, slid a massive black diamond ring engraved with a dark insignia off his left pinky, and forcefully slid it onto my ring finger.

“This ring represents the highest execution authority of the Preston family,” he murmured. “Wear it, and you are my wife. My empire is yours.”

Cynthia’s face twisted with rage. “Sophia! Hiring lousy actors to act some rich guy is ridiculous! If he really had money and power, would he propose on a shared scooter?”

The socialites around her chimed in. “Ethan, these clowns say they’re going to acquire your company! Are you scared? Hahaha!”

Maddox’s elite men’s eyes changed instantly, like wolves staring at dead men.

“Acquire Kingsley? Does the Prestons need to lift a finger?” One core lieutenant sneered. “Any one of our money-laundering shell companies could make that pathetic company vanish in a minute.”

“Wait… how do these people know our private family names?”

“What did that guy call him? Maddox Preston? Could it be… that Preston family?!”

“No way! Why would the Don of the Preston family ride a scooter to propose to a clerk?!”

“Wait, the guy behind him… isn’t that the head of Hale?!”

“And the one next to him… that’s the CEO of Shadow! I’ve seen his wanted file on the dark web!”

“The most dangerous underground bosses on the continent… why are they all riding Lime scooters?!”
