Billy was stunned by Lilianeâs accusation of being petty. He couldnât believe she would think that of him.
How could he be considered petty when he was willing to give away his entire fortune as Lilianeâs wedding gift?
âLiliane, youâre my daughter. How can you side with outsiders?â he said, feeling a mix of sadness and disappointment.
Liliane, unaware of her fatherâs true feelings, replied in a self-righteous tone, âDad, do you have any better suggestions? Should Mom face all the relatives and friends alone? Or should I walk down the aisle alone? If people ask, should I tell them you couldnât attend your own daughterâs wedding because of diarrhea? Isnât that embarrassing?
Billy felt a lump in his throat, and his injured leg seemed to ache even more. He tried to explain.
âLiliane. Iâm your father-â
Unfortunately, the arrival of the ambulance interrupted him.
Realizing that arguing with her father on such an important day wasnât ideal, Liliane softened her tone and said softly, âDad, if youâre feeling unwell, go to the hospital.â
As Billy heard the beeping sound on the other end of the line, a sense of loneliness filled his heart. He was soon rushed to the emergency room due to an overdose of medication, leaving him with no time to dwell on his sorrow.
Meanwhile, the phone call from Billy didnât dampen Lilianeâs mood as a bride. After hanging up. she noticed an envelope on the side and opened it. Inside was an overseas bank card with a note that read [The password is your birthday.]
Liliane was puzzled Was Shane always so straightforward with his gifts?
âMrs. Warner, are you ready? Weâll be entering the venue in ten minutes.â A voice interrupted her train of thought.
Looking stunning in her makeup, Liliane nodded with a smile and replied softly, âIâm ready.
The bodyguards, disguised as bridesmaids, bent down to adjust the skirt of Lilianeâs wedding dress, creating a beautiful silhouette. Liliane took a deep breath, standing tall and elegant like a proud swan.
Leah hurriedly arrived with Shane, both showing affection and doting expressions toward Liliane.
âLetâs go,â Liliane sweetly said.
Shane and Leah shared the same adoration as they prepared to accompany Liliane on her special day.
âShane, put on this wireless earpiece. Itâs provided by the wedding planning company. The person in charge will give you instructions on when to walk and when to stop through the earpiece,â Leah explained.
Shane put on the Bluetooth earpiece and stood by Lilianeâs side.
âOne moment!â Leah approached and adjusted the flower on Shaneâs chest, whispering, âIâll take beautiful pictures of you and our daughter.â
âOkay,â Shane replied, touched by the moment. He never imagined he would have the opportunity to give away his daughter on her wedding day. Though Liliane was unaware of her true identity, he had silently protected and cared for her from a distance.
âNow, Mrs. Warner, youâll hold Mr. Hoyerâs arm. Mr. Hoyer, please take smaller steps as you walk. Mrs.
Warner is wearing high heels, so be careful not to step on her dress,â the coordinator instructed.
Shane nodded, feeling a hint of nervousness. âI understand.â
âWeâll have to wait for a while. The ceremony is still in progress inside. Once the doors open, weâll go straight in.â
âAlright.â
