Emmeline took the box from the delivery boyâs hands and opened it.
There was a sachet of powder inside.
Waylon quickly came over and took the sachet from Emmelineâs hands.
Emmeline and Abel watched anxiously as Waylon brought the sachet next to his nose and sniffed it carefully. Benjamin was also starting to sweat.
âWaylon, is thatâ¦â Emmeline asked uneasily.
âIt is, butâ¦â Waylon frowned.
âWhatâs wrong?â Emmeline and Abel asked in unison.
âThe dose is incorrect. This is less than half of the correct dose.â
Emmeline was furious when she heard that. She yelled across the hall, âYou b*stard! Do you want to die that much? Do you think you can exchange your cure with less than half of the antidote? In your dreams!â
âUm, missâ¦â the delivery boy said nervously, âHe⦠He said that the groom doesnât really fulfill his conditions, so heâs only giving you half. He also said youâll get the other half once you give him the cure.â
After all, Adam did not want to see those two people happily married.
âWhereâs that b*stard?â Abel glanced at the delivery boy.
âI⦠I didnât see him. Someone passed me the message, the delivery boy said.
âD*mn it!â Abel gritted his teeth.
âYour job here is done. You can go,â Emmeline said to the delivery boy.
âThe other party says heâs expecting something from you,â the delivery boy said.
âHe didnât keep to his end of the promise. If he wants the cure, he can come and get it himself!â
Emmeline said coldly.
The delivery boy dared not linger any longer, and he quickly went away.
Even though he thought the bride in front of him was very beautiful, she emanated a killing aura.
Waylon said to Emmeline, âEmma, itâs not a big dose, but I can reverse engineer it. You should have the full antidote by tomorrow nightâ¦
Emmeline was speechless. Right, I totally forgot about that! As long as we can derive its components, we can make our own antidote!
âHeheh, looks like I accidentally scammed that b*stard. I guess I shouldâve given him the cure!â
Emmeline said.
âHe deserves it! I canât wait for him to come and beg you,â Waylon said.
Too bad, heâll have to suffer a while more! Emmeline thought.
Lewis and Rosaline greeted each of the guests despite the ceremony being a hasty and uncoordinated affair.
Ethan represented the Louise family. Lewis toasted him and said, âWeâll organize another wedding.
reception for Emmeline and Abel next time. I hope your father can attend it.â
âOf course. My father nearly had a heart attack when he heard that Emmeline was not going to marry Abel! He didnât attend the ceremony today because he didnât want to be humiliated. Itâs very shocking that things turned out this way!â Ethan said.
âItâs our fault for mistreating Emmeline. I hope you wonât hold it against us,â Lewis said.
âLuckily Abel made it in the nick of time. I donât know what will happen to Emma if he didnât,â Ethan said.
Lewis did not reply. Instead, he toasted Ethan.
After that, he toasted Waylon and Benjamin too.
Lewis knew that the two men were supporting Emmeline, and he extended his full hospitality toward them.
Rosaline went over to meet Julianna.
âHi, Julianna. Sorry that you didnât get to see what you hoped to see,â Rosaline said.
Julianna smiled superficially. âDonât say that, Rosaline. Weâre a family, arenât we? Iâm so glad that Emmeline didnât have to be humiliated.â
âThatâs because Abel is a gentleman. If he didnât show up at the last moment, Iâm afraid youâll get to laught at Emmeline.â
