Talented Wife 18
Kennard spotted Alina about to leave and hurriedly caught up, calling out, "Alina!" "Kennard, don't leave me, Kennard!" Despite Sybil's pleas, Kennard didn't turn back.
The groom had vanished from this wedding. This wedding was destined to become a farce. Now, the entire world knew that Sybil had become a laughingstock today.
As Alina left, Kennard caught up to her.
"Alina!" He grabbed her arm.
"Where have you been all these years? I've been looking for you for so long. Are you doing well? Are you back for good now?" Kennard stared at Alina, his eyes never leaving her.
He had always seen Alina as a girl in need of protection, but now looking at her, he felt she had grown up, different from before.
"I've been fine," Alina replied.
Kennard was relieved. "Don't misunderstand my marriage with Sybil. I don't like her. She drugged me and got herself pregnant. Otherwise, I wouldn't have married her."
Kennard desperately wanted to explain his relationship with Sybil to Alina. He still held a glimmer of hope that Alina could still fall in love with him. "Alina, now that you're back, then I...
"I'm married, and my child is five years old." Alina interrupted Kennard.
She knew why Kennard said those words, and understood his feelings for her, but she didn't want to give him any hope.
Kennard froze, unable to believe his ears. He asked in disbelief, "Wh-what?"
"I'm here today just to offer my congratulations, nothing else. After all, Sybil is my sister. I had to attend her wedding. But Sybil isn't a good woman. As your friend, I truly hope you find happiness. Marriage is a big deal. I hope you consider it carefully." Alina hadn't brought anything with her. She had a stack of dirt on Sybil, but she felt there was no need to use any of it. She knew that just by showing up today, this wedding wouldn't proceed.
"I've got to go now. We can catch up another time," Alina said casually.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Alina left decisively, and Kennard's feet felt like they were encased in lead, unable to catch up.
Alina was married and had a child. This news was too overwhelming for Kennard. Even if Alina were divorced, he knew his family wouldn't approve of him marrying a divorced woman. Once in the car, Alina saw Sybil running after Kennard, looking utterly disheveled.
Six years ago, she had gone to the mountain church to pray, and on the way down, the brakes failed, leading to a tumble down the mountain. This incident had everything to do with Sybil.
This time she returned, seeking revenge not just on Johnny but also targeting the Woolery family for her vengeance.
Sybil's envisioned beautiful wedding shattered, and her eyes were swollen from crying.
"Mom! How could Alina not be dead? She must have deliberately chosen to come back today! Where has she been all these years? How does she even know Mr. Sutton? Mom, this time I'll witness Alina's death! I'll definitely repay today's

humiliation!" Sybil was nearly drawing blood from her clenched palms. She was determined to completely eradicate Alina, making her vanish from this world.
In the past, Alina always outshone her. No matter how hard Sybil tried, she couldn't measure up to Alina. Alina learned quickly. Just a glance at something, and she'd grasp it. Alina was pretty. Nearly all the guys' eyes were on her. During the six years of Alina's absence, Sybil had found her confidence again. Now, she wouldn't allow Alina to take everything away.
"Sybil." Barbara entered in high heels, masking any disdain in her gaze as she approached Sybil.
"Barbara, are you here to mock me too?"
"Of course not. I'm your best friend. I'd never mock you. Today's all because of that hor
