The Walker estate.

‘Is this it?’

As she sat still while hands moved around her, adjusting fabric and brushing powder across her skin, Irene couldn’t stop the thought from echoing inside her head.

It floated there, hollow and unreal, like a question asked into a void that never answered back.

Over the night, she had imagined… no, desperately begged for a miracle to happen.

Something dramatic, something impossible, a sudden interruption, and a last-minute escape. Even a disaster would have sufficed, as long as it tore this moment apart and spared her from stepping into the hell waiting at the end of the aisle.

She had hoped desperately and pathetically.

But now, time was no longer crawling… it was marching forward with cruel precision, closing in on the moment she would be forced to exchange vows she didn’t believe in, promises that tasted like poison.

  • Chapter 430 – Not So Quick

    ******At this moment, the young master’s eyes were hollow and unfocused, appearing as though something vital had already been carved out of him and discarded.His back was stiff, his shoulders drawn tight, and every muscle locked in place like prey pretending to be invisible.Anyone perceptive enough would notice the way his fingers trembled faintly at his sides, or how his breathing came shallow, cautious, like he feared making too much noise.Especially with the aura Alaric was emitting.It was oppressive and heavy, the kind of presence that didn’t need shouting or violence to terrify.It pressed down on the air, making it hard to breathe, making the young master’s chest feel tight, his heartbeat frantic.Alaric hadn’t even looked at him, hadn’t said another word… but the threat lingered, unspoken and absolute.The young master desperately hoped Alaric would ignore him.And as though luck was on his side...Suddenly, the music that signified the bride walking down the ais

  • Chapter 429 – The Wedding Hall II

    ******In James’s mind, Glenn was already finished, broken, and neutralized.All that was left now was to go there, and... a ruthless glint suddenly flared in his eyes, sharp enough to make everyone who saw it flinch. He was so eager to make Glenn go through the most horrific torture and agony known to mankind.Thinking all this, James felt invincible and untouchable.‘How dare a nameless person lay a hand on me?’‘How dare he humiliate me?’‘How dare he eat my carefully prepared meal before me?’‘Hehehe… he would regret getting born to this world!’James felt so giddy that he nearly wasn’t able to sit still again.Poor James.Only if he had any idea that doom wasn’t just creeping up on him at the moment, it was running.But unfortunately, he thought he was still in total control of things.….Meanwhile, sitting beside James at the moment was the second groom, someone… noticeably less pleasant to look at.And who would that be?Alaric, Irene’s supposed groom.At this m

  • Chapter 428 – The Wedding Hall

    ******At this moment, the entire Walker estate was brightly, beautifully, and colorfully decorated, every corner drenched in an exaggerated celebratory glow.Ribbons fluttered in the morning breeze, flowers overflowed from vases that cost more than most people’s monthly salaries, and polished floors reflected smiling faces.This was a very big day for the Walkers.Their two daughters were getting married at the same time.Not just married… they were being paraded, displayed, and exchanged like priceless assets.To the Walkers, this wasn’t merely a wedding; it was a public declaration of victory.They weren’t just sending their daughters off. They were “taking” two of the most successful, heaven-favored young masters in the city… men praised endlessly for their backgrounds, influence, and supposed virtue.Young masters who were respected, loved, and greatly envied.Both grooms came from prominent, well-known families in Jay City. Families that usually looked down on others. A

    ******Before Irene even realized it, her vision had already blurred, her eyes reddening as tears welled up despite all her efforts to hold them back.But just before they could fall…“Miss Irene, I know these are tears of joy,” a light, almost playful voice suddenly chimed beside her, “but could you please hold them back? We wouldn’t want your makeup ruined before the ceremony.”The words startled her.Irene flinched slightly, her body reacting before her mind caught up. Then she turned her head, forcing her lips upward into a fragile smile that felt like it might crack at any second.She nodded her head obediently, swallowing the ache in her throat.“Yes,” she murmured softly.But at that very moment…“Let her makeup ruin,” a sharp, cutting voice sliced through the room. “Everyone will understand. She’s just too happy.”Irene froze, then she slowly turned.That voice belonged to none other than her sister… Avery.At this moment, Avery sat there not far from Irene in her
