Jeff walked around the venue a few times but didn’t see Ethan. Not only that, he didn’t see Chris orChloe either. He knew that Marina was Chris’ only child. He wondered why the parents weren’t presentfor her wedding. He did see Otto, who looked older and depressed.
Jeff felt tired after walking around the venue a few times. He wanted to find a spot to rest when heheard a woman taking near him.
“Marina, do you think Olivia will come?”
The mention of Olivia’s name attracted Jeff’s attention. He looked toward the people who were talkingand saw Marina sitting in her wheelchair in a wedding dress. She looked exactly like the woman on theposter outside the hotel.
Jeff realized that she was the woman Ethan was going to marry. He was surprised to see her in awheelchair.
Jeff had thought of plenty of names to call the woman who stole his daughter’s husband. But his angersubsided a little when he saw that Marina was crippled. He began to think that there might be more tothe story. Maybe there was a misunderstanding.
Jeff didn’t plan to confront a young lady. He wanted to wait for Ethan to give him an explanation.
Marina’s complexion worsened visibly. She gritted her teeth at the mention of Olivia’s name. ” Nothingwill change with or without her here. I’ll be the rightful Mrs. Miller from today onward.”novelbin
“That’s true. Olivia as Mrs. Miller is ancient history now.” Calista had learned her lesson. She no longerdared to speak ill of Olivia around Marina.
Marina’s temperament changed drastically after the death of her parents. She gripped the armrests ofher wheelchair and said with a contorted expression, “That bitch is still trying to seduce Ethan aftertheir divorce. I won’t let her off easy.”
“Marina, no matter what she tries to pull, you’re the one Mr. Miller is marrying. You’ve won. All you needto do now is to rest and get well soon. Your parents will be able to rest in peace knowing you’re in goodhealth.”
Jeff wanted to speak up and reprimand Marina, but then he heard Calista talking about her resting inpeace. It instantly grabbed his attention.
“What did you say?”

Calista and Marina turned to see the person standing behind them. Jeff wore plain clothes, looking likea normal middle-aged man.
Marina had never seen Jeff before. She didn’t know who he was. He also looked way slimmer than heused to be. Even Calista, who had seen him before, didn’t recognize him even though she thought he
looked familiar.

Calista saw his dirty shoes and thought he was an attendant whom they had met before.
“Who are you?”
Jeff was very emotional, and even his voice trembled slightly. “What did you say happened to herparents?”
“Who do you work for? How can you say something so rude?” Calista glared at Jeff as she spoke.
It was public knowledge that Chloe died from leukemia and that Chris committed suicide to follow her indeath. Asking about that before Marina was like pouring salt on her wound.
Jeff quickly approached Marina. She looked at this slim, middle-aged man. His stride was weird. It wasdifferent from how people usually walked.
For some reason, Marina felt an inexplicable sense of affection for this man.
Jeff walked up to her and asked with a serious expression, “What happened… to your mom.”
Tears welled up in Marina at the mention of Chloe. “What does that have to do with you? How did yousneak in? Where’s security? Why did they let someone like this in? Get away from me!”
Jeff didn’t let up. He looked at Calista and asked, “What did you mean they could rest in peace?”
“What do you think I meant? Are you playing dumb, or are you trying to start something? Mrs. Carltonpassed away two months ago. Why are you asking these questions now?”
