Chapter 35: The Truth About the Wedding House
Calder didn't even turn around. He glanced over his shoulder at Sian, who was trembling and clinging to his suit jacket with her torn bridal veil hanging over one eye. A cold sneer appeared on his face."Why did I do this to you?" he asked. His voice carried across the banquet hall, cutting through the fading shouts and murmurs. "Sian Vanecek, have you really forgotten how you used to mock me whenever I visited Tamsin? Every time you saw me, you called me a poor, useless man. You whispered in Tamsin's ear, telling her to dump me because I wasn't worth her time!"Sian's breath caught. Still crouching behind Calder, she grabbed his sleeve with trembling, bloodstained fingers and hurried to defend herself."No! Calder, listen to me!" she cried. "That wasn't my idea! Tamsin was the one who cared about money and expensive things! She hated that you didn't have a luxury car or a penthouse. I was only her best friend. I just went along with what she said because I didn't want to upset her!"
Chapter 34: The Stage Brawl and the Exposed Truth
Garrick Holt was standing beside the altar as the chief witness when he noticed the sudden silence in the banquet hall. Frowning, he looked around and followed the guests' shocked expressions toward the enormous LED screen.The moment he saw what was displayed, his blood seemed to boil.There, in clear high definition for hundreds of wealthy guests to see, was Sian sprawled across a luxury hotel bed. She looked completely at ease, her expression full of pleasure. This was the same woman he had given two hundred thousand dollars to just hours earlier. He had also spent half a million supporting her wedding, only to find her bedroom photos displayed for everyone to see."You filthy whore!"Garrick completely lost control. He charged across the stage, pulled back his right arm, and slapped Sian hard across the face.Smack!The sound echoed through the hall. The force of the slap turned Sian's head and sent her bridal veil flying from her hair. She stumbled sideways and struck the floral
Chapter 33: The Grand Display
The sound of camera shutters filled the otherwise silent banquet hall. With so many people holding up their phones, the clicking seemed especially loud.At table two, Director Vanecek was still standing. His face had turned purple with anger, and the veins in his neck stood out as he pressed his knuckles against the white tablecloth."Calder Reid!" he shouted, his voice shaking with rage. "Who gave a nobody like you the right to insult my daughter and my family? Security! Drag this bastard out!"The entire banquet hall seemed ready to descend into chaos.Tamsin felt her head spin. The disapproving looks from the hospital board members, the snickering relatives at the other tables, and Garrick's disgusted expression nearby all made her feel as though she had nowhere to hide.If this situation got any worse, everything she had worked for would be ruined.She hurried forward and grabbed Calder's arm with both hands, trying to force him back toward his chair."Calder Reid, have you comple
Chapter 32: The Front-Row Exposé
The loud objection immediately silenced the ballroom. The cheers stopped, and everyone turned toward the first table.Calder slowly pushed his chair back and stood up. He straightened his cuffs and looked toward the stage without saying a word.Beside him, Tamsin turned pale. She quickly reached for his sleeve, her voice low and anxious."Calder, what are you doing?" Tamsin whispered, her voice shaking as she tried to pull him back down. "Sit down! Sit down right now! Everyone is looking at you!"Calder glanced at her hand, gave her a small smile, and shook his head. He gently freed his sleeve from her grip and remained standing.On the stage, Sian's face changed. The smile she had worn moments earlier disappeared, and she stared at Calder in alarm.She wanted Calder's money and attention, but she had never planned to leave Burl at the wedding and run away with him. If Calder exposed their relationship in front of all these guests, her father would never forgive her. Her family's repu
Chapter 31: The Staged Vows and the Shattered Proposal
The lights in the ballroom dimmed, and soft purple lights came on, shining along the aisle."Ladies and gentlemen, family and friends, the wedding ceremony is about to begin!" the host announced through the microphone. "Please welcome our bride and groom with a warm round of applause!"The double doors opened, and the wedding march began to play.Burl walked in wearing a fitted tuxedo, holding Sian's hand as they made their way down the aisle. He kept his head held high, trying to look like a proud groom. Sian, however, seemed barely interested in the ceremony. She walked beside him without much expression, her long silk dress trailing behind her.As they approached the first table, Sian looked toward the guests. Her eyes soon landed on Calder, and she gave him a flirtatious wink.She even swayed her hips slightly as she passed his seat, making it clear that the gesture was meant for him.Calder watched her in silence. He had never seen anyone behave so shamelessly at her own wedding.
Chapter 30: The VIP Seat and the Stage Setup
By eleven that morning, the grand ballroom of the Diamond Luxe Hotel was already filled with guests. Crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling, and every table was decorated with white flowers and fresh calla lilies.Near the floral arch at the entrance, Sian stood in her white wedding gown. Her diamond veil sparkled under the lights, but she looked anything but happy. She barely smiled and kept checking her watch, as though she couldn't wait for the ceremony to be over.Beside her, Burl adjusted his bowtie and forced a smile whenever a relative passed by. But inside, he was furious.Just wait, you greedy woman. Once we're married, I'll make sure you pay for every cent you've taken from me!Just then, the glass doors opened, and Calder walked into the ballroom in a dark suit.Martha was standing near the guest registry when she spotted him. Her face immediately changed, and she walked toward him with an angry look."Calder Reid! What are you doing here?" she demanded. "Who invited you
