Chapter 129 The Bride Is Harmed
Finally, Shirley got tired of the seesaw battle, so she reluctantly accepted the necklace.
She reached out, pulled up Cherry, who had fallen to the ground, and said a bit helplessly, “Fine. I’ll take
it. But you said so yourself that I could do whatever I wanted. I’ll toss it into the trash bin later.”
Cherry was not angry. Instead, she smiled bitterly, “Go ahead. Anyway, I can’t bear to do it myself, and
that makes you the only one who can do it… As I said to Braden before, I am convinced of losing
to you.”
Her words made Shirley confused.
Shirley thought, how strange! I thought they were planning to elope. Why am I involved? What is she
talking about? Losing to me? What is that supposed to mean?
Well, I don’t think I should ask her further.
After all, she is the bride. She gets to decide whether she wants to elope or hold the wedding. If I gossip
too much, it just makes me look like I care.
Tsk! I don’t care at all!
It was almost dusk, and the sun was sinking bit by bit, dyeing the sea and the sky orange. The scenery
was simply stunning.
The church, with a blue roof and a white body, was built with glass walls. Sitting in the church, one could
enjoy the beautiful, extremely romantic scenery thoroughly.
A few bells rang, and it was time for the ceremony. The host was ready, and the guests had already
taken their seats, eagerly waiting for the bride and groom to appear.
Shirley highly doubted that whoever arranged the seating had a vendetta against her. She and Braden
had divorced already, but they were still arranged to be seated together.
Braden was on her right. And what pissed her off more was that Jane, her old foe, was on her left.
She felt sandwiched.
Shirley glanced at the expressionless, cold man on her right, and then she looked at the woman with rich
expressions on her left. In an instant, she wanted to sit somewhere else.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJust as she was about to get up, the host announced the groom, Karen, to appear.
Therefore, she could only grit her teeth and sit down awkwardly.
Dressed in a white suit and holding bright roses, Karen walked gracefully past the church to the
stage in the setting sun.
The low cries of the women rang out, and they were stunned at his excellent appearance as if they
were looking at their Prince Charming.
“Gosh! Karen is so handsome.”
Shirley almost stood up and applauded.
She clicked her tongue silently and thought, a handsome man with flowers waiting sincerely for his
bride to show up… What a moving scene.
Meanwhile, Braden, who had always ignored Shirley, glanced at her sharply and said coldly, “You
are not the one getting married. Why are you so excited?”
His voice wasn’t exactly loud, but it wasn’t low either. All the people around them could hear his
voice.
Shirley blushed and clenched her fists in anger. She retorted, “I’m just saying that he is so
handsome. Mr. Stewart, why are you so bitter here? If you think you are better than him, go on stage
and compete with him. See which one of you the bride will pick!”
“Stupid woman!”
Braden was so angry that his face turned livid. He turned his eyes to the stage and swore that he
would never talk to her again.
“Hey! Don’t get mad. I didn’t say anything wrong, didn’t I?”
Shirley didn’t understand what Braden was angry about.
She thought, you don’t have the nerve to get Cherry back, and you are jealous of Karen’s
handsomeness. Why are you mad at me? You are such a bully. Do you know anything better besides
picking on me, the weaker one here?
On the stage, the host, dressed in a black robe and holding a book of vows, said to the other side of the
church, “The groom has entered and is waiting. Now let’s welcome the bride.”
In the next second, the solemn and sacred music sounded. The guests followed the host’s gaze and
looked in the direction where the bride should appear.
Strangely, the music was over, but the bride was nowhere to be seen.
“What’s going on? Why hasn’t the bride appeared yet? Is it a test for the groom?”
Everyone was discussing
The host had never encountered such a situation before. He cleared his throat and said, “The
perfect match comes late, but it’s worth the wait. Let’s welcome the bride again!”
The music sounded again.
But until the music ended, Cherry was still nowhere to be seen.
Both Cherry and Karen’s parents were so anxious that they immediately sent someone to see what
was going on.
The guests were speculating.
The scene was in chaos.
Shirley couldn’t help but nudge Braden with her elbow and asked in a low voice, “Hey, did you do this?
Did you hide the bride?”
Braden pulled a long face. He said coldly, “If you are not afraid of having your tongue cut out, go ahead
and spread the rumors.”
Shirley didn’t say anything.
She swallowed and instantly went silent.
She thought, alright then! There’s no need to be so mean! You stingy man.
Keith was the most anxious one. He immediately rushed onto the stage to calm everyone down.
“Everyone, don’t worry. Karen and Cherry love each other so much. I’m sure they have something
special planned for their wedding. Everyone, be patient.”
Keith had been having a crush on Cherry for years, and he was willing to go all out to do anything for her.
He had been busy around for a long time, and all he wanted was for her to marry Karen smoothly. He
wanted her to be happily married.
The sudden situation caught him off guard and made him have a bad feeling.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmKeith was agitated. On the contrary, Karen, the groom, who should be most anxious, seemed calm.
Karen stood in situ indifferently, and his gentle, refined face was expressionless as if the
unforeseen event had nothing to do with him at all.
“Damn! Ms. Tierney is gone! Only her wedding dress is left in the lounge!”
Someone said soon.
“Gone?”
Keith grabbed the person who said so and said angrily, “Don’t spread the rumors! Cherry is the bride.
How could she disappear? On no ground would she take off her wedding dress.”
“It’s true. If you don’t believe me, you can go to the lounge to take a look.”
Keith turned around and looked at Karen. He said anxiously, “Karen, why are you still standing there?
Cherry must be testing you. Let’s go find her together.”
Karen didn’t move. He said calmly, “She has already been testing me for a day. I believe she has.
already made her choice. I won’t force her.”
“What? What the heck are you talking about? She chooses you. You’ve been together for so many years,
and have encountered all kinds of dilemmas. It’s so close now. Don’t give up at the last stage!”

Karen wasn’t moved because of Keith’s words. Instead, he comforted Keith calmly, “Calm down. She is
an adult. She knows what she is doing.”
Keith was choked by Karen’s words.
the Karen looked at the people, who were whispering to each other, and said, “As everyone can see,
bride probably regretted her choice, so she chose to leave. I’m sorry for wasting your time. It’ll be
appreciated if you can think of today as a party organized by the Whelan family. I wish everyone a good
one.”
“The two are young and insensible. Sorry, everyone.”
Although Karen’s parents were embarrassed, they still maintained their poise and bowed to the crowd to
apologize, looking with real class.
The chaos gradually subsided.
Suddenly, a person stood up from the crowd and shouted at everyone, “The bride didn’t leave on
her own. She is harmed!“
