Chapter 118 At the entrance, he turned to the two bodyguards stationed there and instructed, "Keep a close watch." "Understood." As Aaron arrived at the hotel entrance, he immediately spotted William.

William was clad in a crisp white suit, seated in his wheelchair. His refined features basked in the sunlight, exuding a warmth akin to a gentle sunbeam. Yet, his eyes, deep and inscrutable, were like icy pools.

The two of them stood out starkly, one in black and the other in white, both exuding an equally formidable presence.

They instantly becthe center of attention.

The crowd's gaze fell upon them, uncertain of whom to focus on.

"Mr. Vance, it's been a while," William greeted Aaron with a slight nod, taking the initiative to break the ice. Aaron's cold eyes scrutinized William, "Mr. Grayson has been in Alderburg all along, so how could it possibly have been a while?" William smiled faintly, "It seems Mr. Vance is well-informed about my whereabouts." "Mr. Grayson seems to know quite a bit about my affairs as well. I didn't send Mr. Grayson an invitation, yet here you are at my wedding. Clearly, you take a particular interest in me." The corners of William's lips lifted slightly, a trace of amusement flickering in his eyes.

Aaron frowned, "What amuses Mr. Grayson so?" William's smile deepened, "Nothing..." He merely recalled Serena's comment about his excessive interest in Aaron.

Aaron, seeing the smile on William's face, felt an inexplicable irritation.

"Today is my wedding to Serena. If Mr. Grayson has cwith good wishes, you are welcome. However," he narrowed his eyes, his tone turning icy, "Mr. Grayson, mind your own business." With those words, Aaron turned and walked away.

William watched Aaron's retreating figure, pressing his lips together.

He wheeled himself slowly into the hotel.

Today, he had indeed cwith blessings.

Not for Aaron and Serena's eternal happiness and a blissful future, but rather wishing for Serena and Aaron's early separation.

Guests took their seats.

The wedding ceremony commenced shortly.

With the assistance of the staff, Serena slowly made her way towards the banquet hall.

A path that should take mere minutes to traverse had taken Aaron four long years to finally agree to walk.

Serena's face was veiled.

Through the veil, she looked at Aaron, but instead of the anticipated excitement and joy, she felt only indifference.

Aaron was also looking at Serena.

His parents' marriage had been far from happy, and throughout his childhood, he had witnessed countless arguments.

To him, marriage was akin to a tomb.

Serena had proposed getting married, and he had agreed because, at the time, they frequently quarreled over Cynthia Lynwood.

He thought that perhaps getting married would quell Serena's unrest.

Yet, deep down, he still feared marriage.

So, when Cynthia Lynwood called, saying she had returned, he went along with the flow to pick her up.

But he hadn't expected...

He shook himself from his thoughts, focusing on Serena's beautiful face.

In that moment, his fear vanished.

Even if they would continue to argue post-marriage, he was willing to spend his life loving Serena, protecting her, ensuring she lived without worries.

The officiant's voice rang out, "Mr. Vance, do you take Miss Sullivan to be your lawfully wedded wife, to love and cherish in sickness and in health, for richer or for poorer, as long as you both shall live?" Aaron's lips curved slightly, "I..."

Before he could finish, a piercing ringtone shattered the silence of the Shattered wedding.
