Chapter 024 Being Cheated On
Hailey did not pay attention to the situation on Benson’s side. All she cared
about was what was happening on the stage. The time had finally arrived, and the emcee went up to the stage to host the wedding She munched on her potato chips and listened to the emcee’s opening speech. Then, the groom came on the stage to the warm applause of the guests. The sound of her eating chips also came to an abrupt end. Owen Moore, her ex-husband, stood on the stage. Under the light, he waved at the crowd with a calm expression. His tall and handsome appearance shone even brighter under the bright light. His brilliance was intimidating.
She was used to seeing him in a suit, but this was the first time she saw him in a white suit. There was a hint of warmth on his usual cold face.
It was probably the happiest day for him to finally be able to marry his
sweetheart.
Hailey chewed on the potato chips and felt that the chips might have expired as
the taste was bitter. After the emcee finished introducing the groom, he was just about to invite the bride out when he heard a clear shout from the main table, “Wait a minute!” Under everyone’s gazes, Benson took three steps forward and jumped onto the stage. He handed over the information he had just received to Owen with a serious expression on his face. “Owen, look at this!” “Benson, you’ve caused enough trouble these past few days. If you dare to
cause any more trouble today, you will face the consequences.” Owen frowned
Then, Owen gestured for Jose and the others to pull Benson away. As Benson struggled, the information in his hand fell onto the stage but was kicked to the side by Owen without even looking at it.
When Brook saw this, he couldn’t help but shake his head. “He disappointed
Shouldn’t have given him such a big role.” “What role?” Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Hailey noticed that something was not right and narrowed her eyes as she looked at Brook. “Are you up with something? What information is Benson holding in his hand?”
Responding to that, Brook smiled mysteriously and turned his head back. “Continue to watch. The show is about to start.”
With professionalism, the emcee tried to smooth things over. “This is part of
the show, hahaha… I guess the bride can’t wait to meet the groom. Next, please welcome the bride, Miss Eliza Brown, to the stage! Let’s give her a round of applause!” Eliza held a bouquet of white flowers in her hand, had a crown on her head, and her face lit up shyly. In the company of the group of bridesmaids, she was as
beautiful as a fairy in the flowers. Step by step, she walked toward Owen. However, just as she was walking toward Owen, the originally melodious piano music suddenly changed to a woman’s coquettish moan. “Ah… yes…”
The wedding venue used the best sound system, and thus the output was excellent. Every breath could be heard clearly, just like a 3D sound effect. The old drivers coughed lightly, the adults who brought their children here quickly covered their children’s ears, while Eliza instantly stopped, and her face turned pale. What was going on? This seemed to be… her voice. Owen’s expression changed, and he asked with a cold face, “What’s happening?” This mistake made Jose’s mentality almost collapse. He quickly sent someone to check backstage, but after a moment, the music was playing again. “Let’s focus on our beautiful bride tonight!” The host laughed loudly. The suite used the best sound system too. Hailey listened to the voice and narrowed her eyes. “Is this Eliza’s voice?” Although
it was in a foreign language, the bone-chilling voice was still recognizable. “Let’s continue watching,” Brook said calmly.
Eliza forced herself to calm down and quickened her pace to walk up to Owen.
Then, she whispered, “Owen, I’m a little scared. Is someone framing us up?” “Don’t be afraid.” Owen reassured, “I am here.” Hearing that, Eliza nodded gently. She took the microphone from the host and regained her confidence. “Today is the happiest day of my life. The most beautiful love in this world is when the person you love reciprocates your feelings. Owen and I are each other’s first love. Although there have been many passers-by in our respective lives, and we have been through a lot of changes, our love for each other remained the same. I believe we are each other’s fate.” In the suite, Hailey crushed the potato chips in her hand into pieces. Who was a passer-by? Why did Hailey not like to hear it? “So, I prepared a surprise for you, Owen.” She winked at Owen playfully, held the microphone, and acted as the host. “Please look at the big screen.” The eyes of all the guests followed her gesture and looked toward the big screen. The moment the big screen lit up, the entire audience was in an uproar.
Eliza was very satisfied with the response. She still had her back facing the
screen and smiled sweetly. “This is carefully prepared by me. This VCR recorded the process of the two of us getting to know each other…” Below the stage, people were whispering to each other, and no one was listening to her. The guests’ faces were full of sneers, or they covered their mouths and laughed. They were pointing at Eliza as if they were watching a joke. No matter how retarded Eliza was, she could feel that the reaction in the
audience was a little strange. The atmosphere around her became awkward, and a cold voice sounded in her ear. “Is this the surprise you were talking about?” Eliza turned her head and saw that Owen’s face was gloomy. His face seemed to be covered with a layer of ice, without a trace of warmth. The
look in Owen’s eyes as he looked at the big screen became dark, and a trace of haze flashed across his eyes. What happened?
Confused, Eliza did not understand what was going on, so she turned to look at
the big screen, and she was so shocked that she almost lost her balance.
On the big screen, what was playing was not the VCR she had prepared, but countless photos of her were playing on a slideshow. Eliza almost fainted. She looked at herself on the big screen in disbelief. How could these photos appear here? On the sofa, Hailey quietly looked at the photos flashing on the screen. The
scale was not too big and was not too overwhelming. However, the scene was like a male celebrity being surrounded by hard-core female fans, but in this case, there were all kinds of men, kissing, hugging, and playing with the lady in the center. There were men of all sorts of races, and the lady was having her body on theirs, having fun together. Hailey had already seen these photos in the data and knew what Eliza had done in those years abroad. Therefore, she was calm and did not say anything about
However, Owen was different. The pure and flawless innocent lady in his heart
suddenly became a slut. How big of a blow was this? “So this is the show you prepared?” Hailey said to Brook, “You don’t understand Owen. Although he is a simple man, he is not conservative to that extent. With his love for Eliza, he might just be able to accept it.” “You don’t understand men. No man would like a woman who would say yes to any man. He’d have to worry about being cheated on all day and every day.” Brook shook his head.
“This is just the beginning. The best part is yet to come.”
