Chapter 21
“You disgusting woman!” Debby spat out, fire burning in her jealous eyes.
Ellinor had no intention of arguing with Debby at someone else’s wedding, so she turned around and headed for the restroom.
When she came out, she was surprised to see a man and a woman arguing at the far end of the corridor, who then slipped quietly into the storage room together.
If she wasn’t mistaken, the man was the groom, Connor, and the woman was Debby, wearing a bridesmaid dress the same color as
hers!
What on earth could be going on between the groom and the bridesmaid on the wedding day?
Inside the storage room.
“Connor, you’re heartless, getting married behind my back!” Debby said.
“Debby, what are you doing here?” Connor asked.
“I’m here to be a bridesmaid, but I didn’t expect the groom to be you! No wonder you stopped answering my calls!” Debby said.
“Debby, here’s a card with 20,000 dollars in it. Consider it our breakup fee. Leave after you’ve done your bridesmaid duties, and don’t make a scene!” Connor said.
Debby took the card, “Twenty thousand? If you want to break up, you should give me at least a hundred thousand!”
Connor was annoyed, “A hundred thousand? Debby, don’t be so greedy! If you don’t want this twenty thousand, I’ll have security escort you out!”
Hearing their argument in the storage room, Ellinor finally remembered why Connor looked familiar.
Connor had picked up Debby from Nexus Industries before. Debby was always showing off and parading her handsome boyfriend around. And Belinda had said that she and Connor had been in love for three years. That seemingly well–mannered Connor had a
mistress!
Poor Belinda, she loved him so much!
Ellinor’s face was expressionless. Belinda was Theo’s niece. This was the Blanchet family’s business, none of her concern. She didn’t
need to meddle.
The wedding began.
Belinda walked down the aisle, steadily advancing towards the man she believed would accompany her for the rest of her life.
In the audience, Jonah, suddenly reminded of something, gently nudged Theo beside him and asked with a smile, “Theo, where’s that girl you brought home the other day? Why didn’t you bring her?”
Theo remained silent, his gaze fixed on Ellinor on stage.
Collin answered for him, “Sir, she’s here too.”
“Here?” Jonah looked around, “Where? I don’t see her.”
Collin pointed to the stage, “There.”
Looking at the stage, Jonah saw only the bride Belinda and four bridesmaids left, “Which one is she?”
Every time he’d seen her before, she was either heavily made up or wearing a veil. He hadn’t seen her true face yet!
The big screen on stage was playing a video of the bride and groom’s love story. Meanwhile, the priest was asking the bride if she was willing to marry the groom, no matter what the future held.
Suddenly, the screen switched to a surveillance video showing Connor and a woman in a bridesmaid dress struggling with each other in the corridor before entering the storage room.
The crowd immediately broke into whispers.
