Chapter 259

Charlotte’s instigation immediately made the people who were on Renee’s side immediately switch stances.

With that, Renee turned into a criminal in their eyes. Everyone began calling her a cruel witch, apart from… Stefan and Christopher.

“Silence!” Christopher put up a serious face and approached Renee.

He then brought out the ring he had prepared for Cecilia, handing it to Stefan. “Stef, put this ring on Miss Everheart.”

The intelligent Stefan instantly understood what Christopher was trying to do, and he nodded gently.

He grabbed Renee’s hand without saying anything, attempting to put the ring on the woman’s finger.

Renee started backing away out of anxiousness. “What are you doing? You can’t just put a ring on anybody! Get it off me!”

“Wear it!” Stefan demanded.

Hence, the two started struggling to achieve their individual wishes, looking as if they were in a fight.

Ding ding ding…

The bells started chiming again, as it was the perfect time to watch the sunset. As the golden ball of fire slowly descended into the horizon, the famous prophecy was once again announced within the church…

“As the sun sets, the couple shall be blessed by the goddess of the sea, as long as they exchange rings. They will be forever bound to each other, and live the rest of their lives in peace!”

Stefan managed to put the ring onto Renee’s ring finger by this point, but had also stumbled backward due to the woman’s sheer strength.

Taking this chance, the man pretended to trip and fall, and the moment was captured with Christopher’s phone.

The photo was able to prove that Renee’s words had some truth in them, as it looked uncannily similar to the photo of her and Cecelia’s ‘fight.’

“As you can see, it might not have been a fight at all. It might really be due to the fact that Miss Everheart was refusing to accept something. So, this shows that she could be telling the truth.”

Christopher said, clearly defending Renee.

Only then was the woman able to realize their efforts. She looked towards Stefan with eyes filled with gratitude but was somehow unable to say a single thanks.

However, Stefan still looked rather smug. “You don’t have to thank me. If the myth is true, then we’d be bound for life. You’ll have plenty of chances to thank me.”

Renee was speechless. ‘Oh god, I need to get myself checked. Why the heck would I ever expect anything good from him?!’

‘He’s basically just a big sly fox. He can dream on if he thinks he can trap me with a mere ring!’

Ruby had not expected Stefan to step in and defend Renee, let alone the groom himself. For a moment, her mind completely ran out of tricks.

After falling silent for a few seconds, she spoke up once more. “But I saw Miss Everheart throwing that necklace into the sea! She might really hold resentment towards Miss Smith, which gives her the motive to harm the bride!”

Renee nodded. “I did throw that necklace away because Miss Smith told me I could deal with it however I wanted. I didn’t want to hold onto it anyway, so I just threw it away.”

Xavier snapped. “So you admit it! Do you know how important that necklace is to Cecy?! You god-

damned witch!”

Renee shrugged. “I have no idea.”

She then thought to herself, ‘It’s just some token of their love, right? If it really was that important, why would she force it onto me then?’

Stefan’s expression grew colder as well. “How could you throw it away?!”

Just as Renee was about to retort, one of the employees came running over, audibly distressed.

“Help! Help! This is bad!”
