Shane nodded in understanding. “He really can’t make it here?”
Leah glanced at Shane with a hint of reproach. “I administered a significant dose. Even if he manages
to come, he won’t be able to make it. Let’s not mention him anymore. It’s a joyous day. Let’s go greet
the guests. If anyone asks, I’ll introduce you as Liliane’s godfather.”
“Alright.”
Shane and Leah descended the stairs one after another. Although they didn’t display any overtly
intimate gestures, the underlying affection between them caught the attention of the other guests.
Liliane finally put on her long-awaited, exquisite wedding gown in the bride’s dressing room. The
shimmering diamonds added a touch of brilliance under the lights.
The stylist carefully placed a priceless vintage crown on Liliane’s head and couldn’t help but express

$15,000,000 at auction.”
The stylist never expected to witness such opulence in her lifetime.
Filled with happiness and contentment, Liliane smiled at her reflection in the mirror, realizing her long-
held dream. She was in a cheerful mood.
“Do you want to try it on?” she asked.
The stylist shook her head. “No… I wouldn’t dare. It’s such an expensive crown. I can’t afford to
damage it.”
Liliane smiled and said nothing.
She took out her phone and checked her earlier social media posts. Many people had liked and
commented, but Esther hadn’t responded in any way.
Liliane went straight to the chat box with Esther and typed a somewhat insincere message.
[Esther, it’s my wedding day today. I hope I have your blessing.]
After contemplating for a while, Liliane finally pressed the ‘Send’ button. She didn’t receive a reply and
regretted not being able to witness Esther’s helplessness and sadness firsthand.
As the wedding time approached, Billy, who was still at the Ansteys’ villa some distance away, tumbled
down the stairs due to feeling unwell. He called Leah while lying in a pool of blood, but Leah merely
glanced at her phone indifferently, choosing not to answer.
Unable to reach Leah, Billy had no choice but to dial the emergency number while nursing his injured
body. While waiting for the ambulance to arrive, he turned on a live-streaming app and watched the
wedding ceremony.
The wedding planning company had showcased Bradley’s wealth to the fullest extent.
Wherever the camera turned, there were exquisite flowers, and wherever the eye landed, there
was a display of wealth.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSuddenly, Billy spotted Leah and Shane chatting and smiling with the guests. Their smiles revealed an
underlying affection.
Leah, dressed in a purple gown, looked elegant and mature, with a slender waist accentuated by the
dress. Her hair was styled in a classic updo, adorned with a ruby hairpin.
Shane stood close to Leah, wearing a well-fitted suit. His tie, whether intentionally or coincidentally,
matched Leah’s dress in color, giving the impression that they were coordinating outfits.
Billy felt a surge of annoyance. He couldn’t care less about it being Liliane’s wedding day and
immediately called her.
“Liliane, what is your mother doing? How can she allow Shane-
Interrupting her father’s angry voice, Liliane said with irritation, “Dad, do you know what day it is today?
It’s my wedding day. With so many guests here, you can’t attend because you’re feeling sick, and Mom
can’t greet all the guests alone. Can’t she ask Uncle Shane for help? Why are you being so petty?”
