Xavier started teasing him as well. �Hey, Chris, why would you even envy someone else relationship? You and Cecy are the perfect example of marrying for love!�

Hearing this, Christopher merely answered him with a sad smile.

Soon enough, the four of them arrived at the hotel the bride was staying at.

Although the Jacobs were very powerful within the city, they preferred keeping a low profile, especially regarding their private lives. Hence, the wedding wasn�t all too grand.

Their wedding was the same as anyone else�s. However, they did organize a series of games to show the groom�s devotion to the bride.

Since Christopher was from a family of intelligent scholars, these games were set to be related to different types of knowledge as well. There were a total of 18 challenges the groom and his groomsmen would have to go through before reaching the bride�s room.

As knowledge and strength were both valued; the challenges included martial arts, mathematics, physics, chemistry, literature, history, philosophy, etc.

The first challenge was related to literature, as the bridesmaids requested the men to recite the entirety of Act 2, Scene 2 in Romeo and Juliet. They chose this because it was a touching and well-known love story fitting for a wedding.

The groomsmen consisted often handsome, smart, and wealthy heirs, some of whom had completed their postgraduate studies abroad. Yet, everyone was utterly dumbfounded upon hearing the challenge.

�What the heck? Who would randomly memorize an entire play for no reason?!� They all thought in their heads.

"So none of you can do it?� One of the bridesmaids smiled cheekily. �Fine then, I�ll give you the option to bribe us. Starting from eight thousand dollars!�

�Yep, yep! Right away!" Xavier took his phone out, eager to participate. �You should have said so earlier! Why would we waste our time on something we can solve with money?�

�Hold on.� Renee suddenly stood up. "I can do it!�

"Romeo and Juliet is a play written by William Shakespeare in the 1590s.

Act 2, Scene 2, Romeo enters the Capulet�s orchard�"

The woman started reciting the play all on her own, loudly and clearly.

Everyone turned to look at her, with sheer disbelief plastered all over their faces.

Xavier whispered under his breath to his close friends. �I thought she was joking, but I didn�t think she would actually do it! This is way too impressive!"

Stefan, however, didn�t seem all that surprised. He replied in a slightly prideful tone, �She�s alright, I suppose. And didn�t I tell you she was an honors student?�

After ten or so minutes, Renee was finally finished reciting the entire scene, which earned her a big round of applause. JrNovels.com
