The wedding video was very romantic. Lucas realized for the first time that he and Olivia had so many photos and videos together.
How could he repeatedly break appointments with Natasha and abandon her?
The video showed Olivia’s birthday. At the grand rk family birthday party, under the smiling gazes of the rk family and Margot and Emmanuel, he gantly embraced her and danced a light opening dance. From a distance, they looked like a golden couple blessed by their families.
The camera panned across the entire venue, but Natasha was nowhere to be seen.
Lucas’s eyes suddenly reddened.
The guests all assumed he was touched by memories with Olivia. However, the rk family, sharing his true feelings, knew how unbearable it was to be forced to revisit the past and confront their former self from an outsider’s perspective.
Natasha never had celebrations like this.
Her birthdays only ever brought endless gloom and incessant criticism.
But all of this should have been hers.
Madeline suddenly covered her mouth and leaned against Andrew’s chest, her fingers trembling, as she silently shed tears.
Noel also clenched his fists, staring at his own image on the screen,ughing brightly while watching the couple on the dance floor.
At that time, Natasha was clearly Lucas‘ girlfriend.
Olivia was truly shameless. All the proofs of her love were built upon usurping Natasha, the rightful girlfriend. How dare she brazenly reveal them to the public?
Margot and Emmanuel also hadplex expressions.
Who knows? The couple they once approved of would end up like this, and both the Wright and rk families would fall from grace.

The only one in a good mood was probably Olivia, lost in her glorious past, her eyes full of longing for her former self.
Off–camera, Alexei lowered his head and gently kissed the top of Natasha’s head, who was safely watching the show in his arms.
In the past, they were ignorant and muddled, failing to treat Natasha well. Fortunately, she was with him now, and he wouldpensate her for everything she lost.

The guests didn’t quite understand why the atmosphere suddenly became heavy after the short film of the bride and groom was yed, but the host keenly sensed the change in the bride and groom’s expressions.
In his many years in the profession, he’d seen arranged marriages and couples who hated each other but put on a show. But this pair gave him a seriously weird vibe.
The venue was fancy, the backdrop beautiful, the bride was even smiling… but he had a bad feeling, like he was hosting a funeral, not a wedding.
He secretly nced at the groom, reeking of alcohol with red–rimmed eyes, and the family members below the stage who were crying profusely. He dismissed his wandering thoughts, cleared his throat softly, and tried to lighten the mood.
“Ladies and gentlemen, our bride and groom are truly a perfect match! It’s rare for childhood sweethearts to tie the knot. Let’s give them a round of apuse to wish them well!”
‘Apud, now!‘ he thought.
The unsuspecting guests pped along, and the venue finally became lively again.
However, before the host could finish celebrating, he got a chilling re from the bride.
What did he say wrong now?
Getting red at by both the groom and the bride all day, the host felt miserable.
He pretended not to see and continued.

“Lucas Wright, do you swear to uphold your marriage vows? Will you love Olivia Sutton, respect her, protect her, through poverty or wealth, sickness or health, good times and bad, for the rest of your life?”
Lucas did not answer. <fna5fd> Original content can be found at Find_Novel(.</fna5fd>
“Mr. Wright? Mr. Wright?” The host’s voice went from a gentle reminder to a subtle breakdown.
But Lucas just stood there.
Every second on that stage felt like torture.
Love her?
Lucas couldn’t say it.
The only love of his life was Natasha.
Lucas‘ prolonged silence caused the audience to grow restless again, and even the most professional host struggled to maintain a smile.
Margot and Emmanuel frowned, their faces showing anger. ‘What is he trying to do now? He wants this marriage, and with the wedding almostplete, does he intend to run away?‘
Olivia’s face also fell.
She stared at him coldly.
As everyone grew increasingly uneasy, Lucas closed his eyes and uttered with difficulty, “I… do.”
The host finally let out a sigh of relief. He desperately led the guests in apuse, wishing he could immediately cover up that awkward moment.
Damn it, this wedding keeps halting today. It’s torture!
Finally, after they sessfully exchanged rings and the ceremony wasplete, the host secretly wiped away some sweat and smiled faintly.

“As the bride’s former brother, I’ll deliver this blessing.” Thomas suddenly stood up from the guest seating area and looked at Olivia on the stage.
Olivia’s triumphant smile froze on her face.
“Thomas, it’s my wedding today,” she said with a warning tone.
‘What is he trying to do?‘ she wondered.
This was the wedding she had nned and anticipated for a long time. The rk family was already disgraced in their circle; was he going to say something disruptive and drag her down with them?
She stared at him as if he were an enemy
However, Thomas looked rxed. “After all, Miss Sutton was raised in our family for seventeen years, and even as she left, she left us a souvenir. Our rk family has to return the favor.”
The former siblings, one on stage and one below, exchanged nces across the distance.
Olivia’s anger boiled in her chest. She didn’t believe Thomas had good intentions.
The host awkwardly smoothed things over, saying, “Okay, it seems her brother is rather eager. Then, may I first invite…”
The main <i>door </i>was suddenly pushed open.
Thomas smiled. “No need to invite anyone; my gift has already arrived.”
Upon seeing who was standing at the door, all the guests in the venue burst into an
uproar.
“What? What’s going on?”
The host’s words caught in his throat again
Several police officers walked in. Amidst the astonished murmurs of the crowd, Thomas looked at thepletely pale Olivia.

“Two months in prison doesn’t seem to have been a profound enough lesson for you, Miss Sutton. However, our rk family got you out back then; that’s how you’ll go back now. Olivia, do you like this gift?”
Taking hits without fighting back wasn’t the rk family way.
The police officers, facing the intense gaze of everyone in the hall, stepped forward. “Miss Sutton, you are used of stealing trade secrets. Pleasee with
us.”
Margot and Emmanuel suddenly stood up, looking incredulously at Thomas and Olivia.
On her wedding day, to be sent to prison by her elder brother? What an utter disgrace!
Olivia also couldn’t believe it. She nced at Andrew and Madeline, but saw no surprise on their faces.
They had all nned this together to ruin her wedding!
Olivia’s body trembled in her wedding dress, but her words remained defiant as she gritted her teeth. “You have no proof.”
She’d covered her tracks perfectly.
Thomas, however, smiled. “Olivia, do you really think I had no precautions at all?”
After Olivia was released from prison and returned to work at thepany, he added several surveince measures she was unaware of.
At the time, it was simply out of his usual cautious habit, and he didn’t truly believe she would do anything. Who knew it would now be the best evidence against her?
Too bad the damage was already done.
He had endured and waited until today to make her fall from the height of her triumph.
Did she really think she could still happily be Mrs. Wright after betraying the
B
rk family?

The once close family had long since torn off their pretense and were now openly hostile.
Olivia grabbed Lucas’s arm tightly.
No. She couldn’t go back to prison.
She never wanted to see that square cell again!
