Chapter 757 Trying to Avoid the Worst
Mark’s water-like gaze also saw Jake mingling and interacting with the guests in his black tuxedo as if nothing had happened.Briana furrowed her brow, not understanding the actor’s change of heart.Hadn’t Celia and Jake said they wouldn’t attend the party to avoid upsetting the couple?If Karl and Luana see Jake...Too late. Karl was with other gentlemen when he saw Jake and immediately lost his previous smile.“Something wrong, Young Mr. Carvalho?”“Gentlemen, I apologize. I need to attend to an urgent matter.” Karl stepped away from the businessmen he’d been talking to.Mark also saw, from another angle, the furious fiancé heading straight for Jake.“Darling, I need to stop Karl!”Briana held her breath as Mark walked away.Mark quickly assessed who would meet first and decided to stop Karl.Karl felt a heavy hand tugging at the lapel of his tuxedo and turned to his left.“Mark, why are you holding me like this?”“Why are you running towards Jake Brett like that?” Mark responded wi
Chapter 756 Someone Who Shouldn’t Be Here
Mary Ellen hurried over and tapped the shoulder of a young lady dressed in emerald green, the fabric hugging her waist and physical features. The elegant updo added an extra touch of charm.Even from behind, Mary Ellen recognized the guest at a glance.“CELIA?!”The guest turned around, revealing herself to be Celia, smiling in a strange way.Mary Ellen's scanning gaze went directly to Celia's right hand, holding a champagne flute.“How many of these have you had?”“Mary Ellen, what a pleasant surprise!” Celia’s voice sounded different.Mary Ellen widened her eyes. “What are you talking about? You KNEW I’d be here!”“The surprise is on your part,” Celia replied indifferently. “Yes, I came. And my man is here too.”Mary Ellen turned her head in all directions — even to the FLOOR.“Where is he?”“Looking for the guest rooms so we can continue the celebration,” Celia finished off her champagne in a rather strange manner.To Mary Ellen’s sharp mind, this could only mean one thing = Celia
Chapter 755 The Fiancé and his Fiancée
Karl and Luana walked in, already feeling like they were at their wedding ceremony.The band resumed playing romantic ballads.Karl approached the table reserved for him and Luana. Next to it was his parents’ table.“Dad, mom, it’s official now.”Mr. Carvalho stood up and embraced his only son tightly. “Good, finally, my big boy!”Mrs. Carvalho wiped her gold-embroidered silk handkerchief. “My baby grew up, how emotional...”“Come on, woman!” Mr. Carvalho laughed as he broke the embrace. “Your ‘baby’ is already a grown man with a beard and hair ‘down there’!”“SHHH! Osvaldo, behave yourself!” Jade Carvalho, his wife, blushed to the roots of her hair.Karl leaned over and kissed his mother’s cheek while she was still sitting. “Don’t worry, mom. I’m too happy to care about your husband’s jokes.”“And to think my husband is your father...” Jade shrugged as if it was a tough fate.******At Vasconcelos Mansion, Katrina and Patricio had no escape but to face Althea’s fury, the conservative
Chapter 754 Repent Your Sins
“What do you mean?” Katrina raised an eyebrow.“Do you want to take the opportunity and apologize to me? That way, I’ll let you in.” Briana smiled maliciously, expecting a certain response from Katrina.Katrina felt her blood boil. “Briana, you should respect my pregnancy.”“Oh, right!” Briana responded mockingly. “I haven’t congratulated you yet for acting promiscuously and getting pregnant before marriage! How are you feeling? Do you even know who the father is?”Katrina rolled her eyes. “I believe YOU know who the father is. He’s here by my side, waiting to be invited too.”“Katrina, get this through your head: I’m not going to tolerate any more disrespect from you. Either you regret everything you’ve done to me, or we’ll stay as we are!” Briana lost her patience. “You’re not qualified to attend this party, period!”“Don’t you dare hang up on me...” Katrina reacted with extreme anger when she felt the silence on the other end. “Hello? HELLO?”Patricio took her phone. “Calm down, da
Chapter 753 Someone Needs to Go to the Party
At Mary Ellen’s apartment, she and Celia hugged in farewell.Near the door, Celia’s suitcases hinted at her move to Jake’s apartment.Jake stood nearby, holding two more bags, waiting for the friends to finish their goodbye.They pulled apart, and Mary Ellen’s eyes were misty. “Thank you so much for your friendship!”“Same to you, girl. You helped me when I was at rock bottom.” Celia nodded, wiping her face.“Now go have fun and keep watering that love garden of yours, okay?” Mary Ellen turned to Jake. “I want to be maid of honor at your wedding.”“Consider it done.” Jake joked. “I just don’t know who the ring bearer will be.”“It won’t be Karl Carvalho, that’s for sure!” Celia suddenly turned serious.Mary Ellen and Jake exchanged worried glances.“Celia, you need to let that go.” Mary Ellen placed a hand on her shoulder.“You’re right.” Celia took a deep breath and suddenly smiled. “There, forgotten!”“Then let’s go. Mary Ellen has a party to get to.” Jake said playfully.“Ugh, I’m

He remembered the mirror he had smashed with his fist — the one on Jake’s dresser, that day he heard Celia wouldn’t be coming to his engagement party.Karl hadn’t wanted Celia to miss such a joyful moment...But there was nothing else he could do. The conflict had escalated so much that even Briana and Luana’s friendship had been affected.In the end, he had to give in.Karl looked at the hand that still bore a scar from the stitches the nurse had given him.“I think I’m going crazy!” Karl muttered to himself, rubbing his face with both hands. “Karl Carvalho, you cannot be falling for your best friend’s ex-wife!”Taking a deep breath, Karl forced a smile and walked out of the bathroom, turning off the light.Luana was at the light switch, ready to turn off the rest. “Ready? Shall we go?”“Let’s go.” Karl replied gallantly.Luana glanced at her future fiancé to make sure he was okay and felt reassured.Tonight would be unforgettable.******Back at the Ferro House, Briana was now putti
