Chapter 503 Jonathan Is Not the Groom Everyone in the audience was seated a bit far away, so they couldn't see the groom's face clearly. Even Yara, who was on stage, found her view obscured by the cascading petals. Although she couldn't see the man's face, his tall and imposing figure slowly approaching her was something she couldn't look away from.
Her heart skipped a beat with every step he took, and by the the was almost in front of her, she felt like she could barely breathe.
Jonathan... Setting aside his identity as the ruler of the Finches, his mere appearance was handsenough to outshine any celebrity. It was enough to make her infatuated, and this outstanding man was going to be her husband.
He stopped just a step away from her as the petals continued to fall more densely now. All he needed to do was reach out, and he could hold her hand.
Yara gulped nervously, barely containing her excitement. She wished that the petal rain could stop so that Jonathan could lift her veil and admire her beauty.
As the exhilarating music stopped, the petals gradually stopped falling. Yara was ecstatic, but as she finally saw the man's face clearly, all her anticipation seemed to freeze into ice.

At the main table, everyone's expression changed, including Clover and Miles who were seated beside Rose. The moment they saw the groom's face, they exchanged a glance, and both of them shared the sconfusion. What was going on? Without receiving an answer, they immediately looked at Rose, who showed no sign of surprise when seeing the groom's face. Instead, she was frowning as if she was still lost in thought.
On stage, the groom took another step closer to Yara, reaching out to take her hand. The touch snapped Yara out of her panic, and she shook his hand off almost instinctively and pulled away.
She stepped back and was trembling as she questioned him, "Why is it you?" She was so flustered that she didn't even notice the microphone in the emcee's hand was still near her.
Just like when she had announced her pregnancy earlier, her panicked and disgusted voice instantly echoed throughout the venue and reached every corner.
Even the media outlets that were broadcasting live transmitted her words to everyone following the wedding at home.
The scene fell silent in an instant. Everyone stared at the couple onstage and was puzzled by Yara's question. What did she mean by that? Realizing her loss of composure, Yara tried to regain her bearings, but the groom smiled indulgently and looked at her with deep affection.
"Today is our wedding. Who else could it be if not me?" Their wedding? These words shattered Yara's calm she had been trying to maintain. She lowered her voice and hissed to the groom, "No, it's not you. Jonathan is the person I'm supposed to marry-Mr. Finch. There must be smistake!" Her mind raced. Yes, there had to be a mistake.
The groom simply smiled and said, "Yara, what are you talking about? What Jonathan? What Mr. Finch? I'm the groom today." He stepped forward again trying to take Yara's hand, but she pulled away once more. "No, that's not right." Yara kept backing away. She didn't want to be associated with this man. Today was supposed to be her and Jonathan's wedding, and she didn't want the man to ruin it.
She glared at the man and quickly shifted her gaze to find Jonathan, but she couldn't see him anywhere after scanning the room.
In desperation, she looked toward the main table where Eleanor was seated. "Grandma, where's Jon?" All eyes turned to look at Eleanor, and Rose also glanced over. Eleanor's expression remained calm despite everything that had happened as if nothing had surprised her.
Yara's inquiry was met with silence from Eleanor, making her even more anxious. She then turned to Bella. "Where's Mr. Finch?" Her gaze at Bella was filled with questions. How could this be happening? What was going on? Bella was just as confused and panicked as Yara was onstage. After all, she recognized the "groom" standing on stage.
Yara still didn't get an answer. Just as she was about to handle the man on stage, there was suddenly a loud band as the door burst open.
"Mr. Finch..." Yara's face lit up with joy when she saw who it was.

The title she called out confirmed Jonathan's identity for those who hadn't seen him before. All eyes were instantly on him, including cameras from media outlets following him closely.
Without even glancing at Yara onstage, Jonathan deliberately walked past where Rose was seated. He paused slightly when he reached her and continued to the main table, sitting down in the empty seat beside Eleanor The entire wedding venue was silent, and no music was playing. Only an eerie stillness filled the air.
Jonathan adjusted his suit and looked around. His smile carried an Imet intimidating presence. "Why is everyone staring at me? I'm just a little late. The wedding's not mine, so it doesn't matter if I arrive date, right?"
He seemed to be joking, but no one dared to laugh or even smile.
papilom Unhappy with the palpable tension in the air; Jonathan spoke up. "Go on, why is everyone frozen in place?" The emcee realized his cue and quickly proceeded with the ceremony. "The flower girls are now ready to present the rings to the couple."
Rings? Couple? Yara couldn't take it anymore. She tried to rush toward Jonathan, but the bodyguards kept her onstage. Despite this, she refused e to give up. With a forced smile, Yara shot Jonathan a begging look. "Mr. Finch, stop joking. Today is our wedding, and I don't even know who this man is." Yara's firm tone only drew a mocking smile from Jonathan. He looked at her coldly. "Our wedding? I only know that today is the wedding alliance between the Finch and Maize families, who said it was a wedding between you and me?" Yara was stunned. She instantly
recalled the invitation and details at the venue. It seemed that none of it of had Jonathan's non it, only the word's Marriage alliance between the Finch and Maize families QUMS But in Yara's heart, Jonathan was the only person she wanted to marry. As for this man...
