NINETY SIX: THE WEDDING CONFRONTATION!
Victoria stood at her pace, her hands clenched at her sides, eyes blazing with fury. Her voice cut through the murmurs of the gathered family. “Everyone here needs to understand one thing! Alexander Armitage has misbehaved with me, and he must pay for what he has done!”She pointed at Alex, her tone sharp and unyielding. “He is a nonchalant playboy! A man who has no regard for decency or respect. And Isabella,” she turned suddenly toward her sister, voice lowering but filled with venom, “if you think he is safe to marry, you are mistaken. If he can do this to me, he can certainly do the same to you. You need to back out. You need to stop this wedding now before it’s too late!”The room fell into stunned silence.

She waved at a server. “Bring me a drink,” she said, voice crisp and controlled.Minutes later, a chilled glass was placed in front of her.

At first, nothing seemed unusual, but then a strange warmth spread through her body, a heavy dizziness that made her stomach twist.Her head spun violently, and she gripped the edge of the pool chair. “What… what is this?” she murmured to herself, stumbling slightly.

You are welcome here. You are welcome to stay with this family for as long as you desire, and you will have my blessing to marry Isabella.”Alexander looked at him, his brows raising slightly, not expecting the sudden shift in tone. “I… thank you,” he said carefully, measuring every word. “I did not expect this from you after the reception I received earlier.”Hogan’s eyes softened slightly but his voice remained firm. “Consider it done. You are family now. Your presence here is sanctioned. Nobody will oppose you, Alexander. You have my word.”Victoria, who had been standing near the doorway, her arms crossed tightly across

Caleb’s hand faltered mid-air, confusion and hurt flashing across his face.Victoria Horgan frowned, stepping closer. “Isabella, what’s going on? Why are you acting like this? You’ve been avoiding Caleb again.”Isabella’s lips curved into a faint smile, a mixture of amusement and determination. “It’s noth
