Every guest was staring at Cordy, convinced that she was going to declare her love for Jay because her affection for him was all too visible.And given Zoe's personality, she would want nothing less than to announce it to the whole world.And yet, when she began, she said, "There are two people I want to thank. The first is Clara Gooding, my mother."Clara was sitting below stage, her body obviously stiffening when Zoe suddenly mentioned her. She was holding Yelena in her arms after she got off the stage."Yes, she's my mother," Zoe said. "But I never called her that, because there was a time I hated her. If not for her, I wouldn't have gone through the worst moment of my life—I mean, who would've thought that an heiress of the great Levine family would turn out to be just a maid's daughter?"Her words were calm, but everyone could empathize with her pain and despair at the time."I really did not want to acknowledge her. I really wanted to disown her…" she continued even as sh

Zoe concluded, "That is why I'm grateful for you raising me, for giving me so much love so that I could survive any tribulations that may come and continue forward with determination. Much has happened between us, and though I know you still hate me, I'll still say to you: thank you."And with that, she bowed.Nancy pursed her lips, apparently not reacting.However, anyone close enough could see that her eyes were glimmering with tears, and she was holding them back.She never expected Zoe to still be grateful toward her now. After all the ruthless torment she put Zoe through, she thought Zoe would hate her back.She suddenly remembered Zoe as a child again.While not knowing who she really was, Zoe had been so adorable, and she always doted on Zoe…Nancy turned away so that she did not hold Zoe's gaze.Zoe watched her cold reaction, feeling slightly disappointed. Nancy was a proud woman, and there was no way she could let go of such a grudge.She had certainly been taken fo

Wendy paused for a few seconds just then, and the guests at the scene all turned in shock toward John and Cordy.Cordy was pursing her lips, surprised that Wendy would suddenly mention her.Nonetheless, Wendy continued, "I know you've been good to me and earnestly wanted to be with me, but I must say that Cordy is a better fit for you. I can also tell that you have feelings for her although you keep hiding it deliberately. Are you perhaps afraid that she would reject you?""Actually, as a fellow woman, I can feel that Cordy loves you too. I don't know what happened between you that you deliberately kept your distance, but I earnestly feel that you both deserve each other. I asked Dicky too, and he admitted that he liked me but he still rather his parents get back together."Cordy turned toward Richard, who had been constantly tagging along at John's side.His face was still a child's, but he was over five feet tall and could play the role of John's best man.Though dressed smartl

The endless silence only made everyone anticipate Cordy's response more.After all, they could all tell that he was hopelessly in love with Cordy.Still, there was no telling what she was thinking just then, and she simply stared at John while he stared back.They were both silent while Richard stood nearby, staring blankly at them.He knows that this was his daddy's last chance—that he would have no more chances if his mommy still rejected him…But he really wanted them to get back together, and honestly felt that his daddy loved his mommy dearly.He had no idea how devastated his daddy would be to lose his mommy.He really did so much for her, going to the extreme lengths of playing pretend lovers with Wendy so that mommy would marry him…"I'm sorry," Cordy suddenly said.It was a rejection the instant she spoke.John smiled in relief, but his eyes were tearful.His heart really ached, but he truly gave in this time.He knew he had really hurt Cordy too much, that she did

Cordy headed to the anteroom as a bridesmaid and was now suddenly a bride.This wedding would certainly go down as one of the more astounding ones in history!She put on the bridal dress she tried on before, and it really seemed to be tailored according to her body's measurements.Still, she found herself in a daze, as if it was all unreal.Just yesterday, she felt that there was such an insurmountable distance between them, only for them to get married today."Wow, that bridal gown is just so gorgeous! You look so beautiful in it!" The staff were fawning over Cordy.Even Quinn, who was in the anteroom with Cordy, was dazzled by the dress.She certainly looked exceedingly beautiful, and Quinn was unsure to praise her or the dress—both seemed to fuse together."I really doubt that the bridal dress was not tailored according to your measurement." She could not help sighing.As Quinn glanced at her through the dressing mirror, she smiled. "To think I'd be a bridesmaid twice in on
