Caitlin was definitely going to be shocked.
The more Skyler thought about it, the more excited he got. He turned to Ike. "Ike, do you think Boss Caitlin will even recognize me?"
Ike turned to look at him, stroking his chin. "You know, Skyler, you actually look pretty good all dressed up like this!"
"Right? I feel like a total bombshell," Skyler said, switching his phone to selfie mode to admire his own beauty. "Who knew I had it in me to be such a convincing cross- dresser!"
With a celebratory chorus of honking horns, the ninety-nine-car motorcade slowly began to move.
At the same time, eight helicopters bearing celebratory banners ascended into the sky.
The display was magnificent.
Even the trash cans along the route to the Gonzales Estate had been replaced with red ones. The lampposts were adorned with large red hearts and balloons.
Meanwhile, at the Gonzales Estate.
Inside Caitlin's bedroom, a group of young women were crowded by the window, looking out.
"Why aren't they here yet?"
"Wait, here they come! I think I see the lead car."
Celia turned around at that moment. "Did you all hide the wedding shoes?"
The bridesmaids had decided on a last-minute prank. They'd hidden her wedding shoes - just to make Gordon work a little harder before he could sweep his bride away.
"All hidden!" Elsa said with a smile. "Gertrude and I each hid one."
Celeste asked curiously, "Give us a little hint. Where did you two hide them?"
Elsa said, "I hid mine in the shoe cabinet by the entrance!"
The shoe cabinet by the entrance?!
Everyone burst out laughing at her words.
Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!
As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest. The groom and his groomsmen would never think to look for a wedding. shoe in a shoe cabinet right by the door.
"What about you, Gertrude? Where did you hide the other one?"
Gertrude pointed to the bed. "The shoe is in that box, but the box is locked with an eight-level Morse code puzzle. If the groom and hi party can't solve it, they'll have to give us gifts in exchange for clues."
"Amazing!"
"We have to guard this door well. We can't let them in too easily."
"Hahahaha, forget getting into Freya's room. Those thirteen brothers of hers downstairs are going to give them a run for their money."
That was right.
The thirteen brothers of the Richards family were all gathered at the front door.
Thirteen men, standing in a single row, were an intimidating sight.
Keira, Hannah, and Fortune Kensington watched the thirteen young men with smiles, their eyes filled with pride.
Kinny stood at the very front, holding Monday's leash.
Monday was wearing a little black vest and a black bow tie, his expression a perfect mirror of the adorable Kinny's.
It wasn't long before Gordon arrived with his massive entourage.
Kinny placed his hands on his hips and looked at Gordon. "It's not going to be that easy to marry my Auntie Caitlin!"
"Woof, woof, woof!" Monday barked three times, as if to say Kinny was right.
Gordon pulled two gift boxes from his jacket. "Kinny, these are for you."
"Hmph," Kinny turned his head away, feigning arrogance. "I'm not so easily swayed.
It'll take more than that to make me accept you as my uncle!"
Gordon just smiled slightly, took a stack of cards from his best man, and crouched down to meet Kinny's gaze Kinny, these are all limited-edition Marvel mystery box cards."
