Chapter 312
The wedding ceremony turned chaotic when uninvited guests stormed the stage, causing the groom to leave and the bride to be pulled around. It was such a cringy scene to witness, and some guests decided to leave while others stayed to record the incident with their phones. NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
Henry's parents stood up and hurried after their son, while Yvette's parents and closest friends quickly made their way onto the stage to pull the men away.
“Police! We'll call the police!” Yvette's mother declared, her voice rising with rage as she pointed at the two men.
Hearing that, Yvette paled slightly. “Mom, isn't this embarrassing enough?”
She whirled around to face the men, her gaze narrowed in suspicion. “I'm not sure who you are,” she declared, pretending not to know them. “Somebody has obviously paid you to come here and disrupt my wedding. If you don't leave right now, I'm going to have to call the police and have them remove you from the premises.”
Yvette indeed knew both men, but she wasn't their girlfriend as they claimed.
However, her relationship with them wasn't that innocent, either. After Henry's company prospered this year, he got busy and kept going on business trips.
Yvette had a lot of free time and decided to pass the time by playing games at home. Unfortunately, she wasn't very good at it. One experienced player noticed her lack of skill and asked if she was female. She replied in the affirmative, and they soon started playing games together.
Yvette's ranking rose quickly in the game. She also joined some teams. One of these teams then organized an offline meeting, which she decided to attend. On the day of the event, everyone got drunk. Yvette then had sex with the young man who taught her how to play the game.
The young man innocently asked if she wanted to date him after they woke up the next morning. Naturally, Yvette rejected him. After they went on separate ways, Yvette kept dreaming about their intimate session that night.
Henry was busy with work and rarely went to the gym. His belly wasn't visible when he wore a suit, but after he took off his clothes, it was hard to ignore.
Yvette was sorely disappointed every time they had sex as Henry would end things as early as possible.
She never wanted to betray Henry, but the young man was physically strong. He later came to Jadeborough with his friends on a trip. One thing led to another, and they soon became friends with benefits.
Six months later, the young man told her he found a girlfriend, so they ended their relationship mutually in peace.
Not long after, Yvette went to a bar to celebrate her birthday. She bumped into another young man when she was about to leave. They were both drunk at that moment, and she tried to refuse when the man carried her into the car. However, the last time Yvette had sex was over three months ago after she broke up with the first guy. Having sex with Henry felt more like torture. As such, under the influence of alcohol, she had wild sex with the stranger in the car.
The relationship didn't last for long, for Yvette ended things with him after Henry proposed to her.
Little did she know that both men would cause a commotion at her wedding six months or so later.
She naturally hesitated to call the police, knowing that doing so would only confirm the men's accusations and invite trouble for herself.
Nevertheless, there were many guests who remained behind to witness the chaos. Yvette was fully aware that she had been completely humiliated. Threatening to call the police would decrease the credibility of the men's accusations in the eyes of the guests.
The men were paid to kick up a fuss here, and they didn't want to end up in the police station.
Upon hearing Yvette's threat, one of the men struggled to break free from her friend's grip and quickly turned to leave the stage.
The other man took one look at Yvette and completed his act by declaring, “Yvie, I'll be waiting for you!”
After making that sappy declaration, he too turned to leave.
Yvette nearly went crazy as she stared at their retreating backs.
However, she had to remain calm as there were still guests hanging around in the ballroom.
Suppressing her frustration, she made her way down and assisted her parents in sending off the guests.
After that, she went to Henry to offer her side of the story. “Henry, listen to me. I don't know either of them! Someone who hated me must've hired them to cause a commotion at our wedding!”
From his seat on the couch, Henry gazed at her and then abruptly let out an icy snort. “Yvette, do you take me for a fool?”
Does she seriously think no one will find out what she did?
Henry had been busy since the previous year. He devoted most of his days to work and spent at least ten days every month away on business trips.
Every time he came back from a business trip, he'd discover some extra sexy clothes in their closet.
When Henry first noticed it, he didn't give it much thought. After several more instances, he came to the realization that something was amiss.
However, there was nothing strange about Yvette, save for the fact that she wasn't as proactive in bed anymore.
They had been together for three years, so he assumed that was because they had progressed into the state of an old married couple. As such, the passion they once had for each other decreased.
Henry then proposed to her in January. After that, Yvette went to work with him almost every day. Thus, he dismissed his previous suspicion.
However, when the two men showed up tonight, Henry was sure they knew Yvette.
He had previously seen one of the men in the photo Yvette took with her gaming friends on her phone.
“Of course not, Henry! I swear I'll die a horrible death if I betrayed you!”
Henry got to his feet. “I can't believe you're bold enough to make that vow. We'll file for divorce. If you don't want the matter to escalate, let's go to the City Hall tomorrow!”
“No! I won't get a divorce!” Yvette insisted.
It wasn't a matter of whether or not Yvette loved Henry. If they were to initiate divorce proceedings the following day, all the individuals present at their wedding that night would presume that she had indeed betrayed him.
Henry's company continued to thrive with each passing day, so Yvette was unwilling to let him go as she recognized his significant potential.
She flung her arms around Henry and wailed, “Henry, trust me! I didn't betray you! I'm telling the truth. Someone must have set me up. You remember how ill-tempered I was in university and how many people I offended, right?”
“Fine, then. Can you tell me who despises you enough to go to such lengths and frame you?”
Suddenly, Yvette thought of someone. “Sophia! It must be Sophia!”
Henry's expression changed when he heard her accusing Sophia. The sympathy he felt for her disappeared into thin air as he shoved her away. “I'll see you tomorrow at the City Hall. If you don't show up, I'll have to meet the men who showed up tonight!”
With that, he strode out and slammed the door shut behind him.
Yvette collapsed to the ground as her mind went blank.
When she finally regained her composure, she couldn't help but recall what Sophia told her a few days ago.
Sophia told me she has a gift for me! During the university reunion, I remembered she gave me a warning. Why would she offer me a gift? She wouldn't be so kind as to offer me a gift!
Comprehension dawned on Yvette, and she pulled out her phone to call Sophia.
Sophia had just stepped out of the car when her phone started vibrating. She fished for her phone in the bag and pulled it out.
Although she hadn't saved Yvette's number, she recognized it because Yvette had phoned her before.
Turning to Alexander, she remarked cheerfully, “She's most probably calling me to yell at me.”
She answered the call and put Yvette on loudspeaker. “Did you manage to resolve the situation at the scene that quickly?”
“It was you! You hired them to destroy my wedding, right?” Yvette screamed.
Sophia chuckled, but she didn't admit or deny it. “Ms. Saunders, what are you talking about? I don't understand a word you said.”
“It was you! Why did you do that to me? I didn't do anything to harm you, didn't I?”
Sophia's expression turned frosty. “Are you sure?”
