Chapter 24
Love Is Fair
Chapter 024 Being Cheated On Hailey did not pay attention to the situation on Bensonâs side. All she cared about was what was happening on the stage. The time had finally arrived, and the emcee went up to the stage to host the wedding She munched on her potato chips and listened to the emceeâs opening speech. Then, the groom came on the stage to the warm applause of the guests. The sound of her eating chips also came to an abrupt end. Owen Moore, her ex-husband, stood on the stage. Under the light, he waved at the crowd with a calm expression. His tall and handsome appearance shone even brighter under the bright light. His brilliance was intimidating.
She was used to seeing him in a suit, but this was the first time she saw him in a white suit. There was a hint of warmth on his usual cold face.
It was probably the happiest day for him to finally be able to marry his sweetheart.
Hailey chewed on the potato chips and felt that the chips might have expired as the taste was bitter. After the emcee finished introducing the groom, he was just about to invite the bride out when he heard a clear shout from the main table, âWait a minute!â Under everyoneâs gazes, Benson took three steps forward and jumped onto the stage. He handed over the information he had just received to Owen with a serious expression on his face. âOwen, look at this!â âBenson, youâve caused enough trouble these past few days. If you dare to cause any more trouble today, you will face the consequences.â Owen frowned Then, Owen gestured for Jose and the others to pull Benson away. As Benson struggled, the information in his hand fell onto the stage but was kicked to the side by Owen without even looking at it.
When Brook saw this, he couldnât help but shake his head. âHe disappointed Shouldnât have given him such a big role.â âWhat role?â
Hailey noticed that something was not right and narrowed her eyes as she looked at Brook. âAre you up with something? What information is Benson holding in his hand?â
Responding to that, Brook smiled mysteriously and turned his head back. âContinue to watch. The show is about to start.â
With professionalism, the emcee tried to smooth things over. âThis is part of the show, hahaha⦠I guess the bride canât wait to meet the groom. Next, please welcome the bride, Miss Eliza Brown, to the stage! Letâs give her a round of applause!â Eliza held a bouquet of white flowers in her hand, had a crown on her head, and her face lit up shyly. In the company of the group of bridesmaids, she was as beautiful as a fairy in the flowers. Step by step, she walked toward Owen. However, just as she was walking toward Owen, the originally melodious piano music suddenly changed to a womanâs coquettish moan. âAh⦠yesâ¦â
The wedding venue used the best sound system, and thus the output was excellent. Every breath could be heard clearly, just like a 3D sound effect. The old drivers coughed lightly, the adults who brought their children here quickly covered their childrenâs ears, while Eliza instantly stopped, and her face turned pale. What was going on? This seemed to be⦠her voice. Owenâs expression changed, and he asked with a cold face, âWhatâs happening?â This mistake made Joseâs mentality almost collapse. He quickly sent someone to check backstage, but after a moment, the music was playing again. âLetâs focus on our beautiful bride tonight!â The host laughed loudly. The suite used the best sound system too. Hailey listened to the voice and narrowed her eyes. âIs this Elizaâs voice?â Although it was in a foreign language, the bone-chilling voice was still recognizable. âLetâs continue watching,â
Brook said calmly.
Eliza forced herself to calm down and quickened her pace to walk up to Owen.
Then, she whispered, âOwen, Iâm a little scared. Is someone framing us up?â âDonât be afraid.â Owen reassured, âI am here.â Hearing that, Eliza nodded gently. She took the microphone from the host and regained her confidence. âToday is the happiest day of my life. The most beautiful love in this world is when the person you love reciprocates your feelings. Owen and I are each otherâs first love. Although there have been many passers-by in our respective lives, and we have been through a lot of changes, our love for each other remained the same. I believe we are each otherâs fate.â In the suite, Hailey crushed the potato chips in her hand into pieces. Who was a passer-by? Why did Hailey not like to hear it? âSo, I prepared a surprise for you, Owen.â She winked at Owen playfully, held the microphone, and acted as the host. âPlease look at the big screen.â The eyes of all the guests followed her gesture and looked toward the big screen. The moment the big screen lit up, the entire audience was in an uproar.
Eliza was very satisfied with the response. She still had her back facing the screen and smiled sweetly. âThis is carefully prepared by me. This VCR recorded the process of the two of us getting to know each otherâ¦â Below the stage, people were whispering to each other, and no one was listening to her. The guestsâ faces were full of sneers, or they covered their mouths and laughed. They were pointing at Eliza as if they were watching a joke. No matter how retarded Eliza was, she could feel that the reaction in the audience was a little strange. The atmosphere around her became awkward, and a cold voice sounded in her ear. âIs this the surprise you were talking about?â Eliza turned her head and saw that Owenâs face was gloomy. His face seemed to be covered with a layer of ice, without a trace of warmth. The look in Owenâs eyes as he looked at the big screen became dark, and a trace of haze flashed across his eyes. What happened?
Confused, Eliza did not understand what was going on, so she turned to look at the big screen, and she was so shocked that she almost lost her balance.
On the big screen, what was playing was not the VCR she had prepared, but countless photos of her were playing on a slideshow. Eliza almost fainted. She looked at herself on the big screen in disbelief.
How could these photos appear here? On the sofa, Hailey quietly looked at the photos flashing on the screen. The scale was not too big and was not too overwhelming. However, the scene was like a male celebrity being surrounded by hard-core female fans, but in this case, there were all kinds of men, kissing, hugging, and playing with the lady in the center. There were men of all sorts of races, and the lady was having her body on theirs, having fun together. Hailey had already seen these photos in the data and knew what Eliza had done in those years abroad. Therefore, she was calm and did not say anything about However, Owen was different. The pure and flawless innocent lady in his heart suddenly became a slut. How big of a blow was this? âSo this is the show you prepared?â Hailey said to Brook, âYou donât understand Owen. Although he is a simple man, he is not conservative to that extent.
With his love for Eliza, he might just be able to accept it.â âYou donât understand men. No man would like a woman who would say yes to any man. Heâd have to worry about being cheated on all day and every day.â Brook shook his head.
âThis is just the beginning. The best part is yet to come.â
