In the most conspicuous position of the hall, a small hut was made out of 100,000 roses of various colors, and a red carpet led directly to the front of the hut.Seeing Garrison walking onto the red carpet with Sotiria, the host of the wedding ceremony said impassionedly into the microphone, “Honored guests, I hereby announce that the wedding ceremony of Mr. Garrison Larson and Ms. Sotiria Green will begin now.”The declaration was followed by thunderous applause. The people who had been scattered all around the hall moved toward the hut like the tide.At that moment, Sotiria, who had been calm and composed, could not help but start to feel nervous.Garrison tightened his hand that was holding her slightly trembling left hand. “Relax, I’ll be by your side no matter what happens.”Naomi, who was holding her right hand, blinked at her with her large, crystal-like eyes. “Don’t be afraid, mommy. Daddy and I will protect you.”Sotiria smiled at Garrison and rubbed Naomi’s little head.
A round of applause erupted from the crowd.Then, the humorous host teased. “Ms. Green, when Mr. Larson told you that he loved you, his voice was so loud that he seemed to want the whole world to hear. It showed that he loved you from the bottom of his heart. On the other hand, your response, your voice was so weak that it made people feel that you don’t really love him. Do you all agree with me?”“Yes!” shouted someone. “Sotiria Green, we can’t feel your love for Mr. Larson!” The host hastily chimed in, “So we would like to hear you say “I love you” to Mr. Larson again, louder this time. Oh yeah, don’t forget to throw in his name, okay?”“Okay!”“Again, Sotiria Green!”“Yes, say you love him again! Or we will not let you have a peaceful wedding night tonight!”“Hahahaha!”Many people followed suit.Sotiria had attended other people’s weddings before, and she knew that she could only do as she was told when she encountered such a situation. As such, she took the microphone ha
“Look! Someone is walking down the aisle!” somebody shouted.“What are you screaming about? We're not blind, we can all see it!”“Oh my! No one else is allowed to walk down the aisle until the groom and bride do. Does that man not know that this will bring bad luck to the couple? I really wish I could go up and help Mr. Larson beat that son of a b*tch to teach him a lesson!”“Shut up! Do you know who he is? Do you really dare go up to him and beat him up?” “Who is he?”“Do you really not know who he is? He’s Mr. Connor, the man we should never meddle with in Rothesay!”“Huh? He… He… He… He’s Mr. Connor?”The spacious hall became deadly silent after the trembling voice subsided. Everyone looked fearfully at the man as he walked step by step along the aisle toward Garrison and Sotiria. With every step Zachary took, the temperature in the hall dropped even further, causing everyone to shudder.“Oh god!” Sotiria couldn’t help but yelp. Her feet seemed to be cemented on the floor
Someone sighed, and most of the people in the hall were disappointed.Mr. Connor!Although he had a notorious reputation for being cruel and ruthless, the way he kept his word was admired by many people. However, when they realized that he was willing to break his promise for a woman, they felt disappointed in him. Zachary did not care how other people looked at him. He just kept looking at Sotiria, his gaze cold and deep.“You are making a big deal out of this. Who said I came to disturb her life? Who said I came to her wedding to cause trouble?”Sotiria’s lips quivered. From her level, she could not read Zachary’s gaze at all. However, she would always feel that something bad was about to happen whenever she locked gazes with Zachary, “Really?” Garrison looked at the red carpet under his feet and then at Zachary’s feet. Then, he grew even angrier as he hissed, “Zachary, you know very well that we have a saying in Rothesay. After the wedding ceremony is finished, if a third
“No!”Sotiria was flustered. Like a naked person hurriedly trying to find something to cover her private parts, she hastily squatted down and tried to pick up the photos.However, it was a wasted effort. No matter how fast she was, her movements were no faster than people’s eyes, and all of them had seen the photos clearly.“Oh my god!”The content of the photos was so terrifying that some of them couldn’t help but shout even though Zachary was still around.“The woman in the photos... Isn't she the bride?”“Sigh! Yeah, it’s her.” Someone sighed.“Look at her nasty, shameless, lustful look. It’s so disgusting!”“Yeah, right. I don’t believe there’s actually a woman in this world who'd be willing to do so many embarrassing things with so many men. She’s really the most shameless woman in existence… No, the most shameless wh*re that I’ve ever seen!” “It’s no wonder even her biological father disowned her. After all, nobody wants a scandalous daughter who will bring nothing but
Zachary stopped in his tracks but did not turn around, facing her with his back instead.“Is there anything I can help you with, Mistress of the Larsons?” “Pfft…” Someone could not help spitting out a mouthful of drink.‘It’s really wicked of Mr. Connor to address Sotiria as "Mistress" at the moment.’“Yes.” Sotiria no longer paid attention to the photos on the floor or everyone's gazes. She walked with even, steady strides toward Zachary until she reached him.“You said that you were going to give me a wedding gift, but all I received was humiliation. So where is my wedding gift?”As she was talking, she once again looked at the photos on the floor. These photos were all pictures of her making out with different men, kissing with men in a bar, getting steamy in a car with a man, and having sex with a man under a tree because neither of them could wait any longer…She was pretty certain that everything in the photos had actually happened. After all, given Zachary’s way of doi
However, after Sotiria stretched her right hand out toward Zachary, she forced herself to retract her hand abruptly this time. She watched as his figure moved further and further away, and the corners of her lips rose arrogantly.‘Zachary Connor! Since you’ve said farewell, then let us not see each other for the rest of our lives!‘I’ll never fall for you again. You’re just like the people who laughed at me today. You’re a mere bystander who despises and scorns me from the bottom of his heart. Garrison is the only person in this world that doesn’t care about my past and treats me sincerely!‘I should thank you, Zachary Connor, for what you’ve done today. Before that, I was worried that I would still think of you subconsciously after we left Rothesay; I was worried that I would still fall for you whenever I thought of you.‘Zachary Connor, you’ve dispelled my illusion of you with what you did today. It’s impossible for me to not think of you at all in the future, but I’ll no longer
Sotiria pushed the door of the women's restroom hurriedly, and she heard an unfamiliar male voice as soon as she stepped into the restroom. “Ms. Green, you’re finally here. We’ve been waiting for you for quite some time already.”Sotiria suspected that this was an auditory hallucination. However, she looked up and saw two men in white suits standing not far away from her.‘Wait a minute! What are these two men doing in the women’s restroom?! Did the voice just say that they’ve been waiting for me?’Before Sotiria could get back to her senses, the two men had already approached her at the same time.Sotiria turned around and wanted to run away. However, her legs felt all wobbly and weakened at that moment. As she wanted to escape in a hurry, not only could she not take another step forward after taking the first small step, but she almost collapsed on the floor.“Aaaah!” Her soft and tender arm was grasped by the man abruptly.Her body shook violently in the next moment, and she w
