Sunday, nine o'clock in the morning.
Since Joseph kept staying in the office, Veronica called him worriedly as she failed to wait for him to
come to the hotel.
“I'll be there later.”
After that, he finally realized that since last night, he just sat on the sofa and did not went to sleep.
His mind was preoccupied with the rejection given by Kathy.
As he tiredly pinched his eyebrows, he instructed John to come in.
After he changed into the groom’s wear, he departed from the company.
John looked at the boss apprehensively, today should be President Joseph’s great day, but his
expression was extremely cold.
He even worked overtime a day before his wedding.
John did not dare to ask anything and continued driving.
Hotel at City N.
The makeup artist was applying makeup on Ella, she wanted to raise a smile, but couldn’t.
The groom and bride were not allowed to meet before the wedding, but she was very worried as she
did not see Joseph last night.
This mood lasted until Reece came over.
He was dressed in a navy-blue custom-made suit which made him looked elegant and dignified.
It was just that Ella knew him too well, he was just like a wolf in a sheep’s clothing.
“You're here.” Ella said indifferently.
“It's your heart's desire to finally marry Joseph.” Reece approached and looked at his beautiful sister in
the mirror.
Although she was still a bit young, after this year of conditioning, she became more mature and
charming.
She was a beauty indeed.
“Yes, it is, thank you brother.” Ella raised a false smile.
“I'm going for a walk outside, call me if there is any problem.” Reece turned around and went out.
Ella’s smiling face gradually disappeared.
Time passed, and it was getting closer and closer to the time of the wedding.
Ella called the bridesmaids in, “How is it going with Joseph?”
“Mr. Joseph is already outside.”
“Then let's head out.”
At that moment, outside the hotel.
Kathy sat in the cab, looking at the shiny hotel, hesitating to make any movements.
“Miss, we’ve arrived.” The driver reminded impatiently.
“Oh, okay.” Only then did Kathy came back to her senses.
After pushing the door to get out of the car, but her feet were slow to move.
What’s the point on coming here?
She lowered her eyes which were full of loss.
However, she did not have control over it.
At the same time, a tall figure came over to her side.
“Dylan?” Kathy frowned.
“Not bad, you still remember my name.” Dylan was dressed in a white suit, and it looked marvelous.
Kathy did not react much, paused for a bit, but finally decided to leave.
However, Dylan blocked her, “Since you're here, let’s go in together.”
“I don't want to go in, Dylan.” Kathy frowned, felling a little unhappy.
Dylan lifted his hand and raised his chin towards Kathy, “Don't worry, with me around, no one will bully
you.”
Kathy was still reluctant.
Dylan was now a little frustrated.
Although he looks were average, with money, women normally would not refuse his invitation.
However, Kathy repeatedly refused him.
“What a shame.” Dylan was angry, and his tone was a bit impulsive.
Kathy still remained indifferent so Dylan ignored her and went in.
The rooftop garden was beautifully presented, with pure white flower bulbs decorated all over the
garden.
Joseph was already there, wearing the groom’s suit which was pure black, and the aura around him
was very bitter, but it added to his mysterious and arrogant temperament, causing many women's eyes
to linger on him. It did not take long for Ella, accompanied by her bridesmaids, to walk in slowly.
Below her gaze was Joseph’s handsome face, making her dazzled when looking at him.
This respected man was going to be her husband.
Her lips slowly raised into a smile, and her pace could not help but sped up.
However, in this quiet occasion, a sulking sound erupted.
A woman dressed as a noblewoman followed by a group of bodyguards walked in briskly, and her
looks were similar to Ella.
Ella was very familiar with the voice.
Her body froze, she did not dare to move.
Her face was slowly turning pale, her fingernails had almost embedded in her flesh.
Finally, Maria’s footsteps stopped in front of her, she then raised her hand and gave her a slap.
Everyone was immediately shocked.
Ella looked at the noblewoman in front of her, tears gradually gathered in her eyes.
She bit her lips hard to keep her tears from falling.
“Mom.” She really cried out.
However, Maria had immediately instructed the bodyguards behind her to take the her away, leaving no
room for negotiation.
“The wedding is canceled.”
No more explanation was given after the sentence was said.
“Mom, I'm not leaving!” Ella tried hard to struggle, and even tried to pull Joseph.
But she was no match for the bodyguard, and the man beside her, coldly pushed her away.
“Joseph, stop my mother!” Ella could not help but cry, seeing the distance between herself and Joseph
getting further and further apart, she was not happy about it.
She had waited so hard for this day to come.
However, the man's face was indifferent, and his gaze never once fell on Ella.
The surrounding guests watched the scene, but were completely unaware of what was going on.
“Joseph! Joseph!” At this moment, all Ella wanted to do was to ask Joseph for help.
However, even after screaming as loudly as she can, she only saw Joseph turn around and leave.
She was forced into the car by the bodyguard.
In her ears were her mother's angry words, “Who decided on this matter!”
Ella cowered in fear and did not dare to make any sound.
Maria had already known about it and angrily scolded, “I shouldn't have let you stay by Reece’s side!
This wedding, I will never agree to it, you better give up now.”
“I rather die!” Ella also tore her heart out and retorted!
...
The hotel corridor, Kathy did not expect that she would get lost, she could not find the bathroom even
after making a few turns.
She then turned back, intending to go out along the original path, but unexpectedly crashed into
someone.
“Sorry.”
"Where do you want to go?" A pleasant voice sounded in her ears.
However, Kathy was not in the mood at all now and did not pay attention to the man.
Reece frowned, looking at Kathy’s backside, he spoke in a deep voice, “You can't walk out through
here, do you need me to show you the way out?”
Kathy stopped and finally turned to look at the man.
His body was ripped and he looked handsome, and he was properly dressed. Quite eye-catching.
Kathy still remained expressionless and said indifferently, “Then sorry for being a bother.”
However, she did not expect Reece not only did not take her to the hotel entrance, but brought her over
to the garden at the back.
However, the grand wedding expected to be conducted here, was only left with a wretched scene.
The guests had almost all left, and the staff was already cleaning up.
The wedding ... was over so soon?
Reece was obviously also surprised, the shades under his eyes surfaced and his fists were clenched.
At the same time, one of his subordinates hurriedly ran over to report to him, but was stopped by him.
He then looked and Kathy and said, “I'll bring you out first.”
“Thanks.” Kathy froze and spoke.
However, she still could not help but look at the place, did the wedding ended… or was it interrupted.
Thinking about the latter possibility, she was actually a little glad.
But then she quickly dismissed the idea.
