Chapter 65
The lights in the banquet hall finally came back on. Bright light bounced off the marble walls, revealing how ruined the scene was. Chairs were overturned, tablecloths were dragged, and shards of glass glittered on the floor.The rats that had caused the panic earlier were gone somewhere, leaving a faint stench that would make people pinch their noses.A man in a hotel uniform ran in a hurry, his face deathly pale. "Mr. Clark, we don't know how this could happen! Our power system has always been stable. We never had a problem before. And about the rats, we've never experienced anything like this."Before he could finish his sentence, a hard slap landed on his face. The man's head lurched to the side, almost losing balance.Harold stared at him with killing eyes, his breath coming fast. "You don't know? That's your answer? This hotel was paid a lot to make my son's wedding perfect! Do you think I'll accept a stupid answer like that?"The hotel man fell silent, his body trembling. He bo

"Aaahhh, no! My dress!" Mia screamed hysterically. She tried to wipe the stain on her gown, but the more she rubbed, the wider the cream spread.Another guest in a rush dropped a glass of wine right next to her. The dark red liquid spread out, making a striking stain that looked like blood."Oh my God, look at Mia!" whispered one of the guests, who glanced her way and then walked off again, not caring.Mia squirmed, trying to get up with cream smeared on her hands and face. Her hair was a mess, and her grand gown was badly stained. But every time she tried to stand, the panicked crowd kept bumping into her, sending her crashing back down to the floor.Frustrated sobs spilled from her lips, mixing with the noisy squeaks of rats scurrying around the banquet tables."Everyone, please stay calm!" Harold's voice boomed across the chaotic hall.He stood on the stage, raising his hands high, trying to control the situation. But the screams of guests and the clatter of overturned chairs drown

Unfortunately, Mia could not do anything to Kyra because she had to protect her image. She had to look like the victim so people would pity her."How cruel of you to say that! Silver Trust has been growing very fast lately. I'm sure Dominion Capital will give them much more funding than you received," she said firmly.Elsie, who had been sitting gracefully in her chair all this time, stood up. The heated atmosphere grew even more tense when her calm voice was heard. She was not only Harold's wife but also the illegitimate daughter of the capital's governor.Even though her identity was controversial, she gained influence from her father. In fact, Harold could develop his business in the capital because of her.With graceful steps, Elsie approached Kyra. "Young lady, you're too arrogant just because you received a little support from Dominion Capital. Do you think that makes you different from us?"Her lips curved slightly as she brushed Kyra's shoulder. "Your arrogance will only creat

Even though the truth about Halston's identity shocked everyone, Harold stayed calm. His lips curved in a mocking smile, as if Halston's earlier victory was nothing more than a child's game."Don't get too carried away by that cheap performance," he said flat but sharp. "If he's really from the special forces, why hasn't he had a single mission record in the past two years? Since marrying Mia, he hasn't once been called for a military operation. That means he's been cut off from the network for a long time!"Those words impressed some guests before they began doubting Halston again.Mia wiped the last tears, then lifted her head to glare at the man who used to be her husband. The confidence she had lost started to shine again."If you're really that great, why did your life become trash? Looks like you did something disgraceful during your service. Or maybe you were kicked out because you were hopeless, just like you were useless when you were with me," she accused.Nolan joined in, h

Halston kept sipping his wine, which only made Harold more irritated. The guests stared at him in disbelief because none of them would ever act like that if they were in his place. With Harold's influence right now, he could throw Halston out of Rivertone this very moment."It seems the rumor I heard is true. You've lost your sanity, so you can't act like a normal human being," Harold snapped."He once hit Jack and me," Nolan said, adding fuel to the fire. "If a lunatic like him is left alone, there could be more victims!"Several guests nodded right away, their faces full of disgust and scorn."That's right, someone like him doesn't deserve to be here.""How could a loser sit at the same level as us?""Harold should get rid of him immediately before he causes more trouble!"The atmosphere in the hall became something like a trial. Eyes that were once only curious were now filled with rejection. They whispered insults, calling Halston poor, lowly, and shameless for daring to attend su

Halston looked striking in his black suit, showing off his broad shoulders and well-proportioned body. His neatly slicked hair added a masculine touch. Every step he took carried a natural authority, making many women unconsciously hold their breath when they saw him.Beside him, Kyra walked in a sapphire-blue dress that shimmered under the crystal lights. Her long hair was left loose with gentle waves, adorned with diamond earrings that swayed lightly whenever she turned her head.They looked like a couple straight out of a world-class fashion magazine, a mix of handsomeness and beauty that left many guests in silent awe.Whispers started to spread in different corners of the hall."Who are they? I've never seen those faces before.""They look even more striking than the bride and groom...""How bold of them to come dressed that extravagantly at someone else's wedding!"Some guests even compared their appearance to Nolan and Mia, filling the air with new gossip. Harold stopped eating
