She Is as Beautiful as Always

Lariette didn't let the chaos of the ruined wedding bother her too much. After Stephanie and Samantha left through the back door, she and Ruediger led Chairman Delaney back to the villa. 

One thing was for sure—this scandal wouldn't fade easily.

Both families wouldn't stop blaming each other as the outsiders gossiped about them.

"Oh... it's raining."

Sitting by the window in the backseat, Lariette threw her gaze outside. The light pitter patter of the rain began falling from the sky, some showering on the sedan as it sped down the road.

"We didn't expect any rain these few days," commented Chairman Delaney, also staring at the darkened sky outside, "Wrong case of weather forecast, I think."

Lariette nodded quietly. Her sapphire eyes trailed the passing view of the beach. The ocean lost a little of its shimmering luster under the darkened sky.
