Soon, our wedding day arrived. As I was en route to the venue, a man suddenly blocked my car.
The security team moved to chase him away, but I stopped them.[]
Calmly, I said: “Mr. Rothwell, is there something you need?“]
The man was indeed Blake. After years apart, he had lost considerable weight and looked haggard.[]
He was silent for several seconds before speaking, his voice choked: “I… I want to talk to you properly. Would that be possible?”
There’s no need.” I said flatly. “I’ve moved on from the past.”
“But I haven’t!” he suddenly raised his voice. “Riley, I know I was wrong. I truly realize my mistake!“]]
Ive been looking for you these past three years, but the Sinclair family blocked all information. It wasn’t until yesterday that I learned you were in London.“]
“And Emilia wasn’t who I thought she was. She deceived me and the entire Rothwell family!”
“She completely ran Rothwell Jewelry into the ground. The company’s a total mess now, and my father was hospitalized from the stress…”
closed my eyes, feeling a ripple in my heart. But it quickly subsided into stillness: “None of this concerns me anymore.“]
“Please, I’m begging you!” he broke down crying. “Just give me one chance to apologize!”
“Just one time, please?“[]
“Blake, I interrupted him. “In our previous life, we already settled our accounts.”
Blake’s pupils suddenly contracted: “So you really did…”
I raised the car window, completely sealing him into a different world from mine.[]
“let’s go, I instructed.
The car started moving. Blake tried to chase after it, but he couldn’t keep up…
At the wedding venue, Julian noticed something was off about my expression and gently wrapped his arm around my waist: “What’s wrong?“]]
I took his hand and smiled softly: “Nothing. I just ran into someone insignificant.”
He seemed to sense something but didn’t press further, only saying tenderly: “Do you need me to have someone handle it?”
I shook my head.]
“No need. I’ve already dealt with it.“[
My phone suddenly pinged with a notification:
(Breaking news from Westcliff: Rothwell Group on the brink of bankruptcy as cash flow collapses.]
Emilia Harper had been arrested while attempting to flee with millions in embezzled funds. She was facing life imprisonment at minimum.]
Seeing this, I simply smiled and dismissed it.
Soon, the wedding ceremony began
Julian held my hand as we walked step by step toward the altar []
My wedding dress swayed gently in the breeze, breathtakingly beautiful]
Just as we exchanged rings, I caught a glimpse of a familiar figure from the corner of my eye. He stood far outside the venue, looking forlorn.]
Juban seemed to sense something. He turned slightly. following my gaze, then his lips curved into a knowing smile.
He softly asked. “Elley, do you regret withdrawing from the Rothwell family’s selection that day?“]
Instead of answering. I stood in tiptoe and bed his lips. The kiss was gentle yet firm, as if declaring my choice to the workd
Applause crupted from below, along with countless blessing[]
When I looked up again, that familiar figure had already turned away. His schouette was thin and lonely, gradually disappearing into the crowd.] The wedding candied festive and joyous
