Chapter 964: The Wedding Ambush Tina believed these words.
She thought to herself, perhaps only in a harmonious family like the Brooks could such a situation unfold without inviting speculation from others.
Uncle Isaac truly had the kind of magnanimity that could support the entire Brooks family. "Tomorrow's the big day. Are you nervous?" Alina suddenly asked.
Tina, calm and composed, replied, "Not at all." Alina smirked. "I wasn't asking you. I meant the one who's been counting down the days on the phone nonstop." Tina: "..." Following tradition, she hadn't seen Uncle these past few days. She wouldn't see him until the day of the wedding.
For reasons unknown, Uncle had been calling her every night, talking for long stretches before finally feeling at ease. His nervousness was palpable even through the phone.
She sighed, got up, and said, "Mom, stop eavesdropping on our conversations." Alina muttered under her breath, "Who's eavesdropping? You're the one talking so loud..." As Tina turned to leave, Alina's tone suddenly turned serious. "Something's not right over there. Tomorrow might be a tough battle. Prepare yourself." Hearing this, Tina paused mid-step. "Tomorrow's my wedding. No one will stop it." "Oh, by the way..." Tina turned back. "Make sure to invite Poppy from the Swanson family to the wedding tomorrow. Last time, at your wedding with Dad, he wasn't invited. He's been holding a grudge about it ever since. Don't forget this time." Alina froze for a moment.
She had completely forgotten about that.
Back in her room, Tina received a call from Jayden.
"Miss, we've tracked Mark's movements. He was seen in the Vortex area and returned with a woman. Her identity is unknown." Vortex. A woman.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTina's eyes sharpened. She sent orders to Jayden: "Spread the word. Tomorrow, all members of the Mountain Veil Order are on standby." What hadn't been resolved before would be dealt with this time.
The next day, the wedding.
At dawn, the motorcade from the Farrell family arrived at the Pace family's residence. Jared, dressed in a custom- tailored suit, entered with Hayden and Nathan as his groomsmen. Upstairs, Tina sat calmly on her bed in a diamond-embellished wedding gown, her elegant features focused on the snacks and nuts beside her.
She was eating them one by one.
She'd been up since five in the morning, enduring hours of makeup and wardrobe preparations. She hadn't even had breakfast.
If she didn't eat something now, she feared she'd collapse from low blood sugar before the ceremony even started.
Hearing voices from downstairs, Velma and Paula, her bridesmaids, becinstantly nervous. Velma began pacing in circles. "What do we do, Tina? Are they here already? I'm so nervous!" Paula, peeking out the window, swallowed hard. too. I just saw Hayden! What if they really storm in later? Should we stop them or not?" Tina: " " She suddenly missed Courtney.
If Courtney were here, she probably wouldn't say a single word in this situation.
Looking at the two bridesmaids fussing over nothing, Tina calmly handed each of them a red date. "Want a snack?" Velma and Paula spoke in unison, "How can you still eat at a tlike this?" Tina was stunned.
Since when were these two so in sync? Also, this was her wedding, not a battlefield. Was there sunspoken rule that forbade eating on your wedding day? Downstairs, the sound of footsteps grew closer.
Jared's deep voice called from outside the door. "Tina, I'm here to take you." Hearing Uncle's voice, Tina responded decisively, "Cin!" But Velma and Paula quickly rushed to block the door, gesturing wildly at Tina. "No! He can't cin yet!" Tina was speechless.
They were the ones who were scared. They were also the ones insisting on blocking the door.
Did they have singrained belief about the duties of a bridesmaid? Did they really need to follow this tradition so rigidly? Just as Velma and Paula were figuring out how to demand a red envelope, two cards were slipped through the door crack.
Jared's voice followed. "One million. Use it however you like." Velma: " || Paula: "" Stopping him any further would just make them seem unreasonable.
The door opened from the inside, and Jared's eyes landed directly on Tina.
The wedding gown had been custom-made for her, and the diamonds on the bodice had been meticulously placed by Jared himself. But all of that paled in comparison to Tina's radiant smile. No gown, no diamond, could outshine her.
Their eyes met, and Tina's face lit up with a dazzling smile.
Jared stepped forward, taking her hand with deep affection. "Tina, cwith me." "Okay, Uncle." The two left as if no one else existed. The others in the room stared blankly for a moment before rushing to catch up.
The motorcade followed its planned route to the venue.
Inside the car, Jared held Tina's hand tightly, as if holding the most precious treasure in the world, unwilling to let go for even a moment.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTina comforted him. "Uncle, it's going to be fine." Jared responded softly, but the tension on his face didn't ease.
"Boom!" A loud explosion erupted ten meters ahead of them.
Hayden, driving the car in front, nearly dropped the steering wheel in shock. "Holy crap! They're actually throwing bombs in broad daylight!" Before he could finish speaking, another explosion went off ahead.
Fortunately, Jared had prepared in advance, ensuring all the vehicles were armored. Otherwise, the passengers wouldn't have been so lucky.
This time, Hayden couldn't help but believe it. "Tina, are you e you skind of prophet Good thing you didn't ride in the lead car. Otherwise, well..."
Traditionally, the bride and groom were supposed to ride in the wedding car. But at the last second, Tina had pulled Jared into Hayden's car, which was at the back of the convoy. This had annoyed the brothers in the lead car to no end.
Hayden had thought Tina simply preferred his car. He hadn't expected this twist.
Before Hayden could process what was happening, Tina suddenly tossed him a handgun. "Nine o'clock, two snipers!" Hayden: "What?" Jared calmly pulled two guns from behind him. "Tina, keep your head down. I'll handle the ones on the roof." Hayden: "..." What kind of day was this supposed to be? Before he could react, the snipers opened fire, aiming directly for his head.
It was clear their enemies intended to leave no survivors.
Luckily, Hayden wasn't just there for decoration. He quickly neutralized the snipers in the distance.
Getting out of the car, he saw several of his brothers engaged in combat with dozens of men in black not far away. His expression turned icy. "Tina, it's an ambush!" "Fight through!" Tina and Jared exchanged a glance, holstered their guns, and switched to more suitable weapons before charging into the fray.
