Chapter 12
“Isn’t that the eldest daughter of the Quinn family? What is she doing here?”
“Tsk, tsk. Shit’s about to go down!”
“I heard that she was supposed to get married to Mr. Timothy today.”
“Oh, snap! A love triangle!”
Lucy found their comments unbearable, causing her face to turn ashen and her hands to grow cold.
Holding her hand, Matthew whispered to comfort her, “Don’t listen to them. Hold your head high and keep on walking.”
Taking a deep breath, she did as she was told.
When they entered the Royal Hotel side–by–side, there was another round of gasps.
“Wow, he’s so handsome!”
“She’s gorgeous!”
“What a perfect match!”
“They’re a match made in heaven!”
“Hey, isn’t that the eldest daughter of the Quinn family?”
“It really is Lucy!”
“What’s she doing here?”
Everyone speculated as they were shocked to see her here.
Luna was in her white wedding dress when she noticed everyone looking at the entrance while complimenting Lucy. Her face was full
of spite at first, but she quickly put on a show of happiness before speaking.
“Lucy looks gorgeous. Who’s the man next to her? Is that her boyfriend?”
After hearing what Luna said, Timothy clenched his fists. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
He deduced that Lucy must have cheated on him! Sensing that Timothy was angry, Luna put on a smile and said, “Timothy, let’s go over there. I’m glad that my sister has a boyfriend now. She won’t be sad anymore.”
Timothy put his arm around Luna’s waist and pulled her toward Lucy. He stared at Lucy so hard he almost bore a hole through her.
Matthew looked stern as he stood in the middle of the hotel while holding Lucy’s hand.
Meanwhile, Timothy and Luna stood across from them.
Smiling, Luna leaned closer to Timothy and said, “Lucy, you’re here! I’m so happy you came! Thank you for coming to our wedding. You must’ve come to give us your blessing!”
Lucy’s complexion paled at her two–faced sister’s words. She felt the urge to deliver a slap across Luna’s cheek.
Timothy put his arms around Luna, staring at Lucy indifferently. “Lulu, it looks like you’ve long been involved with another man. I guess I don’t have to feel guilty anymore.”
Lucy’s heart shattered as if someone had just stabbed her.
What a shameless piece of shit! He was the one who cheated on her with Luna. How dare he assume that she did the same?
Matthew’s piercing gaze fell upon Timothy. Narrowing his eyes, he said contemptuously, “Lulu, it was because of Mr. Lucas‘ infidelity
that I now have you as my wife, and for that, I’m glad.”
He turned the tide with a single sentence.
The crowd instantly came to a realization that it was Timothy’s betrayal that led to the change of bride! Timothy glared at the imposing man, questioning, “What are you doing here?”
“I’m here to wish the vile couple a long–lasting marriage.” A contemptuous smile appeared on Matthew’s face.
Clenching his fists, Timothy began to spit out the words, “You…”
Luna leaned into Timothy’s arms with a twisted expression, her eyes full of jealousy.
Lucy did not deserve to be under that man’s protection.
Now that she finally managed to snatch Timothy away from her, Lucy found herself a man like Matthew to protect her.
“You bitch!” Timothy cursed, unable to control his anger.
Right in that instant, a slap was delivered.
Withdrawing his hand, Matthew said arrogantly, “If you call her that again, I’ll destroy you.”
