Charlotte rolled her eyes at him. “Go ahead.”“Well, here’s the thing. Half an hour ago, I received a tip from the gatekeeper at your home. Madam Valentine, as in your mother-in-law, is at your house.” Lucas’s eyes were filled with terror.Charlotte wasn’t bothered. “Isn’t it perfectly normal for my mother-in-law to visit my house? Why are you so nervous?”“I guess you really don’t understand your mother-in-law, milady!”Lucas shook his head.“If she’d come to see you with good news, she would have informed you in advance. Similarly, if she visits out of the blue, it’s definitely bad news. See, she’s been waiting at home for nearly 40 minutes now, and you’re still not there. She never told you about it. Who knows how much rage she’s holding in now? She’s waiting for your return to lash out at you.”‘Oh my god!’Charlotte trembled from fright.She returned home anxiously. As expected, she saw Annalita and Miranda sitting on the couch in the first-floor living room through the Fr
Annalita grabbed Charlotte’s hand in a tight grip. Her breath was trembling, and her chest was rising and falling.“Carlie, we’re a family now. I’ve always seen you as my very own daughter, so I won’t keep this from you. Years ago, Kourtney destroyed my marriage with Jefferson and ran her car over my baby daughter. Of course, Jefferson wasn’t any better. He actually testified for Kourtney and allowed her to get away with Mimi’s murder…”Annalita felt as if a knife had been driven through her heart. She took a deep breath with great difficulty before she could continue speaking. “Now, that b*tch and that b*stard are walking down the aisle. Kourtney cruelly gave me a wedding invitation, but it’s not because she wants me there. She wants to slap me in the face. She wants me to see that they’re not just living without consequences. They’re happy together too! She wants to infuriate me!”Charlotte curled her lips.Even though Kourtney was her mother, she believed Annalita’s words withou
“What a joke! I’m old enough to have attended plenty of weddings in my life. Do you really think that I’d crash your wedding without an invitation? Your promiscuous bride personally gave me this wedding invitation.”Annalita threw the wedding invitation at Jefferson’s face.Jefferson stared at the invitation. He wanted to rage at Annalita at first but was forced to swallow his rage. He looked at Kourtney in confusion. “Koko, are you trying to embarrass yourself by inviting this woman to our wedding?”“Embarrass myself? Jefferson, this is the happiest day of our lives. How could you say that?”Kourtney, who was already past the age of 40, had an enchanting figure and was exquisitely dressed. She looked like a debutante.“It’s wonderful to have my husband’s ex-wife at my wedding!”Jefferson was downcast. He was helpless when it came to Kourtney.Kourtney stared at Annalita shadily. “This is unexpected. Knowing your fiery temper, I thought you’d either have a stroke or go mad fro
The magnificent scene was much grander than Zenios and Tiffany’s wedding.The wedding guests might not be important figures of the entertainment industry or celebrities, like at Zenios’s wedding, but they were all respectable people. Most of them were legendary figures who were rarely seen in public.“Have you seen Koko? She looks absolutely stunning in her dress. I would have thought that she was a 20-year-old if I didn’t know her myself. Jefferson sure is lucky to be marrying a woman of her standards!” someone exclaimed.Another man shook his head disdainfully. “Pfft. Stop making such a fuss. I haven’t just seen her in a wedding dress. I’ve seen her completely naked too. Would you believe that?”“You! Koko is the bride. What’s all this nonsense?”“Nonsense? You’re the only man in Rothesay who knows her and hasn’t slept with her. Ask the other men in the hall if they’ve slept with her.”The first man was about to blow his top.However, someone patted him on the shoulder. “Don’t
Feeling exasperated, Kourtney stared at the hotel manager. “What the hell is wrong with your hotel? I spent so much money to hold my wedding ceremony at your hotel, but you guys couldn’t even keep the electrical supply up. It’s the most basic requirement, and you…”She could not continue anymore, as the 500-inch LCD screen behind her had lit up.The entire hall was dark as an abyss, and the dazzlingly bright LCD screen was the only light source, so everyone’s eyes were drawn to it.A second later, a picture appeared on the big screen.“Holy! This… Isn’t the woman in the photo Koko?” someone shouted.“It’s her! Oh my goodness! Don’t you think that picture is a bit too close to the bone? How can you show a picture like this at a wedding?”“That’s right! Who's making a joke? Even though we're no longer living in an old-fashioned world, Koko and Jefferson’s way of showing their affection to each other is very innovative and a little indecent… No! Wait! Look!”Someone shouted as if
“Jefferson, I…” Kourtney used to be very eloquent, but she could not say a thing right now, as the evidence was irrefutable. “Koko, you promised me. But why… I love you so much. What did I do wrong... Why are you punishing me like this?” Jefferson’s voice was shaking, and tears were streaming down his face. Everyone in the hall, including him, knew about Kourtney’s unsightly past. However, he did not care about it.Therefore, when he had seen the first two photos on the big screen, although he had felt embarrassed, he had not been angry with her. It was the video that broke him completely.This was because when he and Kourtney had registered their marriage the day before yesterday, Kourtney had promised him that she would lead an honest, clean life and be faithful to him after they got married. Never in his wildest dreams had he imagined that Kourtney would be lying to him. She was as indulgent as before, and she’d even engaged in sexual activities with other men the night be
Walter stretched his right hand toward Kourtney.“Kourtney, it’s over. Let’s get up.”Although age had left some marks on Walter’s face, he still looked attractive. When looking at his gentle gaze, Kourtney’s mind went black for a moment. This time, she did not push him away but grabbed his hand.At that moment, every muscle in Walter’s body was pulled taut, for he did not expect Kourtney to grab his hand. In the next second, he tried his best to calm himself down and pulled Kourtney up from the floor.“I thought you would push me away like you used to do in the past… Koko! It’s been 21 years, and this is the first time you allow me to hold your hand.”“I thought that it would be someone else that would help me get to my feet…”Kourtney looked around in a daze.“Just now, amongst those men that came to the wedding, most of them had hooked up with me before. During the time when we were together, all of them filled my ears with a variety of lover’s prattles, and they all said tha
The grin on Kourtney’s face widened as she looked at the painful expression on Walter’s face.“Before this, I asked that tumor why you didn’t come to my wedding. It turns out that you came and had been hiding in the shadows. I’m really glad and happy that you could come to my wedding, Walter Simmons. After all, if you hadn’t come, I wouldn’t have been able to see this sour, painful, and lost look on your face!”Kourtney had already gone out far, but Walter was cemented onto the floor. The disappointment and sadness in his eyes were thick as he looked toward the direction where Kourtney had disappeared into.Charlotte went up to her father and grabbed his hand into hers. “Dad, how many times have I told you that this woman is beyond saving? Why can’t you just give up?”Walter’s attention had yet to return to reality from Kourtney. He just glanced at Charlotte in a trance.Charlotte shook her head.“Sigh! Why did you come to her wedding? Did you not know that she’s up to no good
