âYou disgusting woman!â Debby spat out, fire burning in her jealous eyes.
Ellinor had no intention of arguing with Debby at someone elseâs 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 wasnât 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.
âConnor, youâre heartless, getting married behind my back!â Debby said.
âDebby, what are you doing here?â Connor asked.
âIâm here to be a bridesmaid, but I didnât expect the groom to be you! No wonder you stopped answering my calls!â Debby said.
âDebby, hereâs a card with 20,000 dollars in it. Consider it our breakup fee. Leave after youâve done your bridesmaid duties, and donât make a scene!â Connor said.
Debby took the card, âTwenty thousand? If you want to break up, you should give me at least a hundred thousand!â
Connor was annoyed, âA hundred thousand? Debby, donât be so greedy! If you donât want this twenty thousand, Iâll have security escort you out!â
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 wellâmannered Connor had a mistress!
Poor Belinda, she loved him so much!
Ellinorâs face was expressionless. Belinda was Theoâs niece. This was the Blanchet familyâs business, none of her concern. She didnât 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, âTheo, whereâs that girl you brought home the other day? Why didnât you bring her?â
Theo remained silent, his gaze fixed on Ellinor on stage.
Collin answered for him, âSir, sheâs here too.â
âHere?â Jonah looked around, âWhere? I donât see her.â
Collin pointed to the stage, âThere.â
Looking at the stage, Jonah saw only the bride Belinda and four bridesmaids left, âWhich one is she?â
Every time heâd seen her before, she was either heavily made up or wearing a veil. He hadnât seen her true face yet!
The big screen on stage was playing a video of the bride and groomâs 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.
