Richard had no words of comfort for his daddy, now that his mommy was getting married."It's fine, Dicky. Your daddy is an adult—he knows how to control his temper," Jay said calmly."Yeah." Richard nodded.Still, as he quietly sat down, he somehow felt Sean bristling unhappily beside him too.-John followed the figure he glimpsed to the rear courtyard of the hotel, running through it to find the person.Did he make a mistake, or was he perhaps imagining it?!However, as he turned and left, a figure stepped out from a hidden corner, a sinister smile showing on her lips.If she could not get her happiness, Cordy would never hope to get it too!-John returned to the lobby, but he did not return to his seat and instead approached Sean. "Could you ask someone to check if Nana Lynd has recently been discharged?"Sean's eyes narrowed, and he came to an understanding as soon as he met John's gaze.Sean quickly made a call, whereas John headed to the security room—he would rather
John hurried to Cordy's dressing room.She had just finished preparing and was ready to enter the banquet hall, but just as she opened the door, she found John standing there, panting and sweating all over his forehead.He looked like he had something important to say, but before Cordy could say a word, Zoe exclaimed loudly and excitedly, "John! Have you decided to steal a bride?!"She really did not care how huge a mess she was causing. Still, John did not even look her way.Instead, he saw the flash of disgust in Cordy's eyes.Still, he did his best to stay calm and said, "I just saw Nana entering the banquet hall. I'm worried she'll do something terrible, so just delay the ceremony for a moment, and we can resume once we find her—""Don't make me hate you even more, John Levine." Cordy cut him short right then.As John was left blinking, she added coldly, "I don't want a fight at my own wedding. Now, move.""Cordy, I'm not trying to stop your wedding, but something will ha
Cordy looked like she was ready to vent all the grief she had been holding in for a while now.Zoe worriedly tug at Quinn's sleeve in turn. "What do we do? Do we help?""Help? But who do we help?" Quinn asked.The question left Zoe stumped—she certainly had no idea.They would just have to wait and see…"I'll hate you for the rest of my life, John!" Cordy screamed as she glared at him, her eyes turning red right then!"Can't you wait just for a minute? Are you really that eager to marry Patrick?!" John was furious too."Yes! I won't even wait for one second!" Cordy snapped bluntly.As a vein bulged over John's temples, Zoe felt like he was really going to hit someone.What should she do? Call the cops?But that would mean calling the cops on her own family, no?!Nonetheless, while she was left in a dilemma, John suddenly let go of Cordy.Cordy in turn did not wait a second and turned to leave—she was short on time, and she would never miss out on the most important day of h
John kept searching the banquet hall until he inadvertently looked up at the screen above the stage.Patrick, with a bouquet of white flowers, moved closer to Cordy and slowly lifted her veil.Her beauty was hence revealed to one and all, just as the lights illuminated her figure.Crystalline glint flashed over her bridal gown, unveiling her divine beauty endlessly.Everyone held either breaths, as if the dreamlike scene before them should never be disturbed.Patrick in turn gazed at her lovingly, taking a deep breath as he repressed his burgeoning excitement.He could not resist saying, "You're so beautiful, Cordy,"Cordy flashed a breathtaking smile in turn, and Patrick felt like he would suffocate from the devastating beauty.Nearby, Zoe could not help exclaiming, "Why isn't Cordy in showbiz? There's no debating the issue—those looks alone would get her to the top."Quinn nodded beside her, since Zoe's comment was no exaggeration.It was a great blessing for anyone to witn
Nana was holding a black gun, and she waited for the perfect moment before dashing up the stage—she was bent on killing Cordy when her happiness peaked!However, just as she brought her gun level at Cordy and was about to pull the trigger, a figure lunged forward and knocked Cordy to the floor, shielding her stalwartly behind himself.Nana blinked, but one glance was enough to register that it was John.So he was going to die protecting Cordy when she was marrying someone else?!As a matter of fact, Nana knew John was looking for her, even sending everyone he could to do so.However, Nana had crossdressed and hid herself in the men's room, eluding any prying eyes to slip into the banquet hall.She actually thought for a moment that the wedding would be called off, since John would have stopped it—she was certainly surprised that it carried on in the end.Who was being overconfident here, Cordy or John?Still, she had to give it to him—his presence made her pause, and she did no
"Cordy? Cordy?!"Patrick called out to Cordy repeatedly, but she was not responding, obviously stricken with fear."It's alright now, Cordy!" Patrick gathered her in his arms, his heart breaking just then.Cordy was trembling endlessly and uncontrollably, the sight of John and Nana just now replaying in her head…Where did that shot hit?!Patrick tightened his arms around her and kept assuring her, "It's alright now, Cordy. I'm here…"The guests in the hall were flustered and panicking too.Should they leave?But which was more dangerous, staying here or going outside? And were they going to continue the wedding? But the bride appeared to be in serious shock…While the hall erupted into pandemonium, Patrick promptly made up his mind. "Let's put the wedding on hold and get out of here for now…"Cordy suddenly grabbed Patrick by the arm with a sweaty palm."Cordy?" Patrick stared at her."What happened?" Cordy finally asked.Patrick certainly had no idea—he was too concern
Sean was no close friend of Patrick's, but he knew Sean enough that he would not lie about something so important.If Sean said John would live, then he would live.He turned toward Cordy, and said confidently, "Sean said John would live. He's probably just wounded, so Sean took him to the hospital."Cordy nodded silently.She did not ask any questions—because she was afraid to.It was the same for Patrick.All he asked was whether John was alive and nothing else…"Let's go, Cordy." Patrick helped her to her feet.Right now, he had to take her somewhere safe. He had no idea if Nana planned anything else, and safety was the best policy right now.Perhaps they could go to the hospital to visit John.Running was not an option.He toko Cordy's hand to lead her away while telling the staff, "Please handle the guests appropriately—""Patrick." Cordy suddenly stopped him.Patrick did a double take and turned toward Cordy in surprise."We're staying," she said solemnly.There
Cordy turned toward Zoe in surprise—she was rarely that serious."What's wrong, Zoe? Are you in shock too?" Cordy asked in concern. "Also, where's Jay? What's he doing, not staying with you? If you're still traumatized, head home, or take a break in the anteroom…""Jay left to check on John," Zoe said bluntly. "To see if he's dead.""He's not. Sean just called, saying that he's safe and taken to the hospital—""And does that mean you don't have to care?" Zoey demanded.Cordy blinked.Zoe was clearly emotional.Furious, even."John almost died trying to save you, and you really feel nothing? Or don't you care about that at all? You'd even continue your wedding after all that—is a wedding more important than a person's life?!" Zoe snapped, her voice louder with every word.She had always worshiped Cordy, never questioning Cordy's actions.But she could not help doing it now in front of all of Cordy's guests.Did John not deserve even a sliver of her sympathy? Did Cordy have to
