The wedding march began playing once again, but there was an unsettling tension in the atmosphere this time. With an ex-wife like me and a grandma who objected to the wedding in attendance, the laughter and praises from the guests had significantly reduced. Instead, they were mostly murmuring and whispering among themselves about what was happening.
The two of them then exchanged their wedding rings, and the wedding ceremony was only a step away from completion. Didn’t Christopher say they wouldn’t be able to complete the wedding? Why is it so peaceful and quiet? What did he and Sharon plan on doing? Is it going to just end like this? This can’t be right…
“Mr. Smith and Ms. Tanner have known each other since they were kids and spent over ten years of their lives together. Ms. Tanner has painted a series of pictures to commemorate their love, so let us all bear witness to their beautiful relationship…”
A painting then appeared on the huge screen. It was a simple yet vivid image of Lyle and Crystal sitting on a meadow, with one of them painting a picture while the other sat there and propped his head on his elbow while waiting patiently.
The next painting was one of Crystal dancing by a lake while Lyle played the piano next to her.
I couldn’t help but feel that those weren’t Crystal’s work because she simply wasn’t that great at painting. The next thing I knew, a video popped up on the screen and began playing.
“Thanks to the dirt you got on Benjamin which ruined his reputation completely, my dad finally entrusts me with the more important tasks and projects!” Benson was lying on the couch with Crystal in his embrace as he ran his hand all over her body.
Crystal nuzzled against Benson’s chest and reached her hand into his shirt as she said coquettishly, “I bet Benjamin would never expect for me to expose his shameful deeds! You’d better thank me properly for that!”
“Of course, darling. I’ll make sure you feel my power!” Benson then scooped her up and placed her on his laps before passionately making out with her.
Benjamin jumped to his feet and kicked the chair in front of him in a fit of rage as he stared at the screen in disbelief. The woman that he treasured most had betrayed him with his own brother.
Crystal had a victorious smile on her face after taking care of Sharon’s sudden appearance earlier, but the smile quickly vanished when she saw the video.
She was trembling all over as she wondered what was going on and why the original video had been changed.
The surround sound system was able to clearly project the audio throughout the entire hall, so everyone could hear it despite how noisy the place was.
So Crystal and Benson were the ones behind Benjamin’s unfortunate event? But he was so nice to her! Why would she do such a thing? Has she lost her mind?
I thought to myself and glanced at Christopher, who then motioned at me as he whispered, “This is my trump card. What do you think?”
I was so shocked that I couldn’t say anything in response.
In the video, the two of them were kissing as they continued to talk.
“Dad has decided to make me the heir to the Miller family. He’ll definitely be impressed even more once we take care of the collaboration with the Smith family.”
“That’s a piece of cake! I have that idiot Lyle wrapped around my finger, so he’ll do anything I say. As for that old hag, I managed to get her off my back with a couple of threats! With the Yates family’s assistance, we’ll be able to build a family as powerful as the Goldstein family! That old hag wouldn’t dare put the Smith family at risk, so there’s nothing she can do to me even if she knows I have bad intentions! It’s a shame she didn’t die from anger on the spot, but that’s no problem. Once Lyle and I get married, the Smith family will be mine after her death! With you being the head of the Miller family, we’ll have both families at our fingertips!”
