Chapter 267

Cecilia’s mother then turned to Christopher. “Take your bride to the hospital, Chris, and hurry up, will you? If she stays a moment longer, I fear someone might beat her to death!”

“Of course,” Christopher replied. “But I’d like to take the opportunity to publicly announce that the wedding between Cecilia Smith and I has been canceled. Our relationship as a couple ends today as well. I deeply apologize for dragging everyone into this mess and wasting your time today, but rest assured, you will be fully compensated by my family and I.”

This threw the crowd into an uproar.

Xavier was flustered and anxiously tried to help save Christopher’s situation. ‘What the hell are you talking about, Chris? Are you seriously canceling the wedding and breaking up with Cecy right now?

Don’t you think that’s a bit too cruel? Tell me it’s not true. Tell me you’re just joking to lighten up the atmosphere.”

But Christopher said nothing in reply. He picked Cecilia up in his arms and carried her away.

The crowd followed closely behind them before dispersing, ignoring everything that had just happened.

In the end, only Stefan, Renee, and the celebrity Ruby Chisholm were left on the beach.

“Ms. Everheart,” Ruby said in a contrived voice, “I was only speaking the truth just now. You don’t blame me, do you?’

“You borrowed someone else’s hand to attack your real target,” Renee sneered. “Pretty impressive, I must say. Your intention to eliminate me is plain to see, Miss Chisholm. You must be overjoyed with your success right now. But I do wonder… there have never been any grievances between you and me, so why do you keep trying to bring me down, time and time again?”

‘ Ms. Everheart!” Ruby clutched her chest, her face a picture of innocence.” What have I done for you to so viciously sling mud at me? It was a matter of life and death! You’re not actually blaming me for telling the truth, are you?”

Renee could see through her sham from a mile away. Hence, she held nothing back and bluntly exposed her. “Don’t forget that you’re a public figure yourself, Miss Chisholm. So if you’re interested in my ex-husband, you should just pluck up your courage and boldly pursue him. There’s no point in wasting your time with these insidious tricks and schemes. Instead of trying to get rid of me, why don’t you surpass me by using your own strengths?”

Renee then looked Ruby up and down, then smirked. “You have a nice figure, you know, especially that slim waist of yours. Our Mr. Hunt here has a fetish for tiny waists. If you display your assets a little more often, you might be stronger than any rival blocking your way!”

“You…” Ruby did not expect to get this kind of response from Renee. She was so embarrassed that her face turned beet red. “It’s true that I admire Mr. Hunt very much, but I’ve never had the intention to harm you.”

After speaking, she took a deep breath and sucked her tummy in, making her waist appear even tinier than it already was. Then, she shyly and seductively gazed at Stefan.

Was she so easily tricked?!

Renee had no idea that Ruby Chisholm could be this shameless and unreserved. She was, after all, the youngest film superstar and the most popular celebrity in the entertainment industry! How could she not know to be a little subtler? How could she be so vulgar?

“Mr. Hunt,” Renee nudged at Stefan and boldly teased him, “why don’t you say something? Miss Chisholm just confessed her feelings for you! You can’t leave a celebrity like that hanging!”

Stefan was visibly upset. A chilling expression emerged on his chiseled face that would easily freeze anyone in their tracks, and his eyes stared dead at Renee.

He was obviously waiting for her to explain what just happened, and was not in the mood to joke around with her!

But Renee remained completely unfazed. Dangerously dancing at the edge of the tiger’s mouth, she continued to tease him. “Why don’t you two shake hands and consider yourselves officially introduced?

Don’t forget me when you get together and pay me the matchmaker’s fee! Hahahaha…

“Ah!”

Stefan grabbed Renee’s arm violently and gripped it tight. It hurt so much that she grimaced. “Are you out of your mind, Stefan Hunt?! Do you want to get beaten up? I’m warning you-let go of me!”

But Stefan only clenched his grip on her arm. His eyes turned savage as he demanded an answer.

“Explain yourself!
