Chapter 505 To Attend Their Wedding or Not?
Tristan lingered at the doorway, his gaze trailing Cherise and Damien as they vanished. A frosty sneer formed on his lips, âFu king imbeciles.â
With that, he turned his attention to the invitation lying forgotten on the ground. He stooped to retrieve it, scanning its contents. âWell, well, theyâre getting hitched?â
Tristan scoffed as he carried the two invitations back home, presenting them to Raymond, who was leisurely sipping tea on the sofa. âHey, Dad, Damien and Cherise are planning a wedding.
âIâm aware, Raymond replied, reclining on the sofa, his eyes closed, a hint of frostiness on his lips.
âGiven the commotion heâs causing, who in Adania isnât aware theyâre planning another wedding?â
He reached out to take the invitation, examining the names listed. âWell, well, Cherise, also known as Charlotte Tanner?â
âSince the Tanner family has publicly acknowledged her as one of their own, it implies⦠she is that manâs daughter.â
Raymond narrowed his eyes, a cold smile playing on his lips. âHold onto these two invitations.â
Tristanâs one remaining eye widened in disbelief as he exclaimed, âYouâre seriously thinking about going?â
He had only brought the invitations back to poke fun at them with his father. He never expected Raymond to think about attending their wedding!
Raymondâs decision to attend Damien and Cheriseâs wedding seemed utterly absurd to Tristan. How could his father be so foolish even to contemplate it? Anyone with common sense would know it was a colossal blunder.
As if sensing Tristanâs bewilderment, Raymond rolled his eyes in exasperation and gave Tristan a swat on the head. âHonestly, Tristan, youâre not exactly the brightest bulb in the chandelier, are you?â
âIf you had a smidgen of intelligence, even if not an abundance of it, as long as you were as sharp as Damien, I wouldnât have to keep everything from you.â
Tristanâs face clouded with confusion. Then at least explain your reasons to me! I honestly donât see the point in attending this wedding!â
âBecause weâre about to witness a grand spectacle, Raymond declared with a sneer, tapping his finger against the coffee table. âTristan, you may not be aware, and in fact, many people are oblivious to this, but the mastermind behind the car accident that claimed Damienâs parentsâ lives was Mendoza.â
Tristan remained puzzled. âMendoza?â

Tristanâs eyes widened in disbelief. âYou mean, theyâ¦â
Î Before he could finish his sentence, Tristanâs expression turned sour once more. âWait a minute. Didnât you claim earlier that their death⦠was your doing?â
Raymondâs lips curled into a faint smile, âNot at all, he explained, his tone tinged with melancholy. âI was merely a pawn in a much larger game.â
And with that, he delved into that nightâs events, recounting the Tanner Residenceâs infiltration by a group of six youthful, spirited friendsâ¦
That woman at the Tanner Residence was a vision of captivating beauty. Her stunning looks, melodious voice, and flawless complexion left an indelible mark on his memory.
The sensation of her long legs draped over his shoulders, a memory forever etched in his mindâs tapestry.
Raymond never imagined the woman he met that night would ascend to such extraordinary. power.
With calculated precision, she eliminated the men from that fateful evening, eventually becoming the formidable matriarch of the Miles family.
The creeping realization of his impending demise loomed like a dark cloud, signaling the inevitable arrival of his judgment day.
To his surprise, the Miles family came to him, desperate for information about his brother.
A vivid flashback flooded his mind, transporting him back to when he was young, brimming with life yet lacking social standing.
He was a nobody, his presence inconsequential, his company unwanted.
