Cecilia tightened her hold on her phone.
Cecilia found it hard to believe that Cathy would go to such extremes.
Even if Cathy didnât have strong feelings for Paul, Laura was her own flesh and blood, and the bond ran deep.
Cecilia whispered, âI donât believe you.
â
Cathy remained silent and eventually hung up the phone.
Cecilia was left in a state of shock.
Shortly afterward, Mark entered the room, his gaze filled with tenderness.
He asked, âWho called you?â
Cecilia shook her head and softly replied, âAn old friend of mine.
â
She couldnât believe that Cathy would resort to such extreme measures.
She suspected that Cathyâs intention was simply to disrupt the wedding.
After some hesitation, Cecilia decided not to inform Mark about the call.
The wedding proceeded as planned, with a lively and grand atmosphere.
Alexis served as the flower girl, and Edwin took on the role of the ring bearer.
Both looked adorable and charming.
As the wedding march played, two individuals rushed inâ-Paulâs parents.
They were visibly distressed.
âMark, Cathy has taken Laura away!
She intends to do something drastic to her daughter.
Cathy called us and claimed that she informed Miss Fowler, but⦠Mark, for Paulâs sake, please save Laura.
She is the last descendant of the Thomas family.
â
Paulâs parents knelt before Cecilia, who turned pale.
Markâs gentle voice then reached Cecilia.
âDid she contact you?â
Cecilia was taken aback, realizing that Mark was holding her partially responsible.
Cecilia bit her lip lightly.
Today was her wedding day and the color of her lipstick was dark red.
âYes.
I got a call from Cathy,â she said in answer to Markâs question.
