Chapter 1715

She approached Matthew with a heart full of mixed emotions.

“From now on, I entrust my granddaughter to you.

Take good care of her,” Clint stated solemnly, placing her hand in Matthew’s.

Matthew said gently, “I will, promise.

Clint nodded, his gaze drifting away as he let go of Stella’s hand and walked off the stage.

Stella watched his retreating figure, tears starting to form in her eyes.

“Don’t cry, honey.

From now on, I’m here with you.

We’ll stay together, grow old together,” Matthew whispered soothingly.

Stella gave a small nod.

The emcee gave Stella a moment to gather herself before stepping up and announcing, “Congratulations to our bride and groom as they step into the union of marriage…”

Following the vows, it was time for the ring exchange.

Matthew slid the ring onto Stella’s finger.

Matthew quickly stepped in front of Stella, pulling her to safety.

Flossie stared at Benny in shock.

“You… What are you doing?”

Yet, she never imagined he would show up like this.

Without a second thought, Flossie tried to push through to Benny.

She was determined to protect Stella’s wedding from being ruined.

Turning around, Flossie shook Edmund’s hand off with force.

“What in the world are you all doing? Let me go!”
