The wedding venue had descended into utter chaos when a booming voice resonated throughout the room.

"Police! Everyone quiet down!"

In an instant, almost everyone turned towards the source of the voice. A squad of uniformed officers stood at the entrance.

The scene fell silent immediately.

The lead officer nodded with satisfaction, lowered his megaphone, and strode purposefully towards the stage.

Vivienne was stunned, while a flicker of panic crossed Jaxon's eyes.

Seeing that someone was about to handcuff him, Jaxon quickly cried out, "This is a mistake! I'm a law-abiding citizen!"
