Scars Of A Broken Bond

Alice hesitated before answering, her gaze lowered, “At Mr. Olson’s birthday, Bella was mean to me because of Sabrina. It made me so angry…”

After a brief pause, Lance addressed Royce, “Royce, I apologize.

Keilani brought it upon herself. Please don’t heed her nonsense and lies.”

Keilani seethed with anger at Lance’s words but held back from retaliating. From NôvelDrama.Org.

Royce dismissed the situation, instructing, “Alright then. Lance, since you’re here, make sure to watch over her. Keilani, please listen to your brother.”

“Yes,” Keilani replied reluctantly.

Back in her room, Keilani was still sulking, tempted to throw things around to lash out her anger, yet she restrained herself, fearing Royce and Lance might hear.

She dwelled on the situation and got more frustrated. She couldn’t believe her uncle and brother were taking Sabrina’s side.

“Was I beaten for nothing?” Keilani muttered, gritting her teeth. She couldn’t accept the situation as it was.

Alice rolled her eyes and suggested, “Of course not, my dear. We shouldn’t let them off the hook easily. But if you’re thinking of revenge, we need to plan carefully. Don’t act rashly…”

Keilani, feeling annoyed, sighed deeply. “Good thing you’re wise enough to take the blame for me. Alice, you’re too good-hearted. Rest assured. I know how to repay your favor. I’ll make sure you marry my brother!”

Alice managed a smile. Keilani’s deceit was transparent to the room.

Her lying then would spell troubles for herself. After all, there was a surveillance video in place.

Admitting the full truth, though, would surely earn Keilani’s disdain.

So, Alice had to carry the blame for Keilani’s sake. With her picky words, wise guys like Lance would know she was taking the fall for Keilani. An idiot like Keilani wouldn’t detect her underlying meaning.

That way, Lance wouldn’t end up hating her.

After Tyrone left the police station, the wedding of Sergio and Marnie was put on the agenda again.

However, Marnie was pregnant with an obvious baby bump.

The wedding ceremony was simple. With Marnie’s big belly, others could easily tell it was a shotgun marriage. Plus, a complicated wedding ceremony might exhaust a pregnant bride.

Surely, Marnie desired a grand ceremony to tell the world she was marrying Sergio but held back any complaints. If she insisted on having a grand wedding, others might frown at her indifference toward the baby in her belly.

At about five o’clock in the morning, the wedding car set off from Mathias to pick up Marnie. When they arrived at the destination of the ceremony, it was already eight o’clock.

Marnie was dressed in a luxurious and exquisite dress, and Sergio was in the suit. The two stood together and were ready to go through the wedding procedures.

Sergio accompanied Marnie to the room.

Sabrina, a part of the Blakely family, along with Lena and other close relatives, welcomed the guests.
