Shane nodded in understanding. “He really can’t make it here?”
Leah glanced at Shane with a hint of reproach. “I administered a significant dose. Even if he managesto come, he won’t be able to make it. Let’s not mention him anymore. It’s a joyous day. Let’s go greetthe guests. If anyone asks, I’ll introduce you as Liliane’s godfather.”
“Alright.”
Shane and Leah descended the stairs one after another. Although they didn’t display any overtlyintimate gestures, the underlying affection between them caught the attention of the other guests.
Liliane finally put on her long-awaited, exquisite wedding gown in the bride’s dressing room. Theshimmering diamonds added a touch of brilliance under the lights.
The stylist carefully placed a priceless vintage crown on Liliane’s head and couldn’t help but expressher envy. “Mrs. Warner, Mr. Warner really spoils you. I heard this crown has a starting bid of$15,000,000 at auction.”
The stylist never expected to witness such opulence in her lifetime.
Filled with happiness and contentment, Liliane smiled at her reflection in the mirror, realizing her long-held dream. She was in a cheerful mood.
“Do you want to try it on?” she asked.
The stylist shook her head. “No… I wouldn’t dare. It’s such an expensive crown. I can’t afford todamage it.”
Liliane smiled and said nothing.
She took out her phone and checked her earlier social media posts. Many people had liked andcommented, but Esther hadn’t responded in any way.
Liliane went straight to the chat box with Esther and typed a somewhat insincere message.novelbin
[Esther, it’s my wedding day today. I hope I have your blessing.]
After contemplating for a while, Liliane finally pressed the ‘Send’ button. She didn’t receive a reply andregretted not being able to witness Esther’s helplessness and sadness firsthand.
As the wedding time approached, Billy, who was still at the Ansteys’ villa some distance away, tumbleddown the stairs due to feeling unwell. He called Leah while lying in a pool of blood, but Leah merelyglanced at her phone indifferently, choosing not to answer.
Unable to reach Leah, Billy had no choice but to dial the emergency number while nursing his injuredbody. While waiting for the ambulance to arrive, he turned on a live-streaming app and watched thewedding ceremony.
The wedding planning company had showcased Bradley’s wealth to the fullest extent.
Wherever the camera turned, there were exquisite flowers, and wherever the eye landed, there
was a display of wealth.
Suddenly, Billy spotted Leah and Shane chatting and smiling with the guests. Their smiles revealed anunderlying affection.
Leah, dressed in a purple gown, looked elegant and mature, with a slender waist accentuated by thedress. Her hair was styled in a classic updo, adorned with a ruby hairpin.
Shane stood close to Leah, wearing a well-fitted suit. His tie, whether intentionally or coincidentally,matched Leah’s dress in color, giving the impression that they were coordinating outfits.
Billy felt a surge of annoyance. He couldn’t care less about it being Liliane’s wedding day andimmediately called her.
“Liliane, what is your mother doing? How can she allow Shane-
Interrupting her father’s angry voice, Liliane said with irritation, “Dad, do you know what day it is today?It’s my wedding day. With so many guests here, you can’t attend because you’re feeling sick, and Momcan’t greet all the guests alone. Can’t she ask Uncle Shane for help? Why are you being so petty?”
