A wedding that had turned almost into a farce came to an end in a downpour.

Although the guests did not get to witness a picture– perfect romantic wedding, they did witness quite a spectacle, making them feel attending the event had been worthwhile.

The Males family members did not feel embarrassed. In fact, they hoped the wedding would not go smoothly. As long as Marc did not bring the Santos fa

Moreover, Pearl had returned, and for them, that was a reason to celebrate.

The Santos family, however, was not taking it so well.

was too furious to adjust them.

Clarissa sat on the edge of the bed, crying non–stop. She was still wearing her wedding gown, which was now stained. It was as if she had gone from being a blank canvas in Marc’s eyes to becoming a piece of discarded paper.

“Alright, enough already. It’s not Clarissa’s fault.” Lana Santos, Clarissa’s mother, tried to calm things down.

Matt was about to say more when suddenly his phone rang, displaying “Lisa” on the

screen.

“It’s Lisa calling!”

After a brief exchange with Lisa, Matt handed the phone to Clarissa. Clarissa choked back tears and called out, “Aunt,” before hearing a voice on the oth tone. “Why are you crying? This minor setback has your collapsing? You want to give up so easily?”

“What can I do now?” Clarissa said in despair. “He blames me for deceiving him. He doesn’t trust me anymore, and he thinks I’m promiscuous. He doesn

Lisa chuckled. “Even if a woman is promiscuous, can she be more promiscuous than a man? These things don’t matter. As long as you can captivate him, he’ll surely want to

“Pearl, was that helicopter really your own? You actually know how to fly a plane! When did you learn? Why didn’t you tell us? Can you take me flying in the sky?”

Pearl smiled faintly. “Sure, we can do that. But it’s raining today, so we can’t fly. Mayber another day.”

This caused an uncomfortable, mysterious discomfort in his heart, a lingering unease.

Phoenix and Amanda also had a lot of questions they wanted to ask Pearl. Pearl said, “I’ll explain everything when we get home.” After hiding her identity

“First of all, I want to apologize to everyone,” she began. “My real name is Pearl Woolery, and I am from Nanston.”

She bowed to express her apology, but her demeanor remained dignified.

The elders were seated, while the younger generation stood.

Marc stood not far from Pearl, watching her profile as she honestly revealed her true identity. Even though he had known this for a while, he still felt a se

His surprise was nothing compared to the shock that the Males family members, who had been kept in the dark, were experiencing.
