At the wedding reception, Kael approached me with eyes full of love, only to brush past me and take the bridesmaid's hand instead.
I thought his face blindness had kicked in, so I quickly separated their tightly interlocked fingers.
The bridesmaid, embarrassed and angry, shoved me away forcefully:
"Get lost! Don't touch my husband with your filthy hands!"
I was shocked and asked her what she meant.
She sneered and slapped the marriage certificate in my face, then pointed towards the screen in the banquet hall:
"You think you can marry into the Shaw family after cheating before the wedding and having another man's child die in your womb? Did you think my Kael was picking up trash?"
On the screen, intimate photos of me leaving the abortion clinic at the hospital with Kael's arch-nemesis were playing.
And on the marriage certificate, there was unmistakably a photo of him and Scarlett.
Holding back my anguish, I turned to Kael and asked:
"You're calling off the wedding over something so trivial?"

Forced to Kneel Before the Bridesmaid

I laughed at her transparent attempt to cover up her actions.


"Scarlett, did you really think you could pull the wool over everyone's eyes with what you've done?"


"I've already handed over the evidence to the police. If you still want to marry Kael, you'd better hurry up and throw another wedding!"


Hearing this, Kael tried to confront Scarlett.


But she was already panicking, clutching his sleeve as she tried to explain:


"Kael, don't believe her! This is all Faye's scheme! She's trying to drive a wedge between us!"


Caelan and I left without looking back.


Watching my retreating figure, Kael felt an inexplicable sense of unease.


With trembling hands, he dialed his assistant's number, instructing him to thoroughly investigate the details of my miscarriage at the hospital that day.


Scarlett tried desperately to stop him, which only made Kael more suspicious.


"Scarlett, are you feeling guilty about something?"
