Chapter 8
[Seeing Mila cry makes me feel so sorry for her… She just meant well but messed up p>
[The bond between childhood sweethearts is precious. Wasn’t the bride overreacting p>
[Feels like this bride is being harsh, not giving the man any face. Who would want to marry someone like that p>
Since that’s how it was, there was no need to save face for anyone anymore.
I instructed my assistant to release the evidence I had.
Ten minutes later, the official Hayes Group account posted a long graphic.
It detailed every instance where Declan had left me alone for the sake of his “friendship” with Mila.
Whether it was birthdays, anniversaries, or important events like award ceremonies.
He always prioritized Mila.
The post concluded with:
[A true friend steps back with joy when their friend finds love, never putting them in a difficult position. True love, likewise, would never allow a ‘friend’ to repeatedly cross boundaries, leaving their partner feeling belittled and full of self-doubt p>
Not all hurt can be brushed off as a joke. Some lines, once crossed, can never be uncrossed.
It seemed to hit home for many, and public opinion began to shift.
[This is truly chilling when you think about it. Who was this guy really in a relationship with p>
[Putting myself in the bride’s shoes, it’s suffocating. Every time she needed him, he was with someone else p>
[To those calling the bride petty: I hope your future partners have such best friends, too p>
Of course, Declan saw this post.
He kept reading it over and over, finally realizing how much I had suffered over the past three years.
He stared at his phone in silence, his emotions raging, but there was no outlet.
Just then, Mila walked over. She had just gotten close to him but hadn’t sat down yet.
Declan suddenly looked up and stared at Mila coldly. “All these things… You did them on purpose, didn’t you? You deliberately called me away, made me neglect her p>

Mila saw the post on his phone and instinctively took it.
As her eyes scanned the comment section, filled with one critical remark after another aimed at her, her spoiled temper flared. She snorted at Declan. “You believe this nonsense? It was all just a series of
coincidences! Why would I be that vicious p>
“Are you even my friend anymore? You don’t understand me at all p>
In the past, Declan would’ve immediately started explaining.
But this time, he coldly stared at Mila.
“Then tell me, why did you wear a wedding gown? Why did you suddenly stage those unscripted moments at the wedding? Weren’t you deliberately trying to embarrass her p>
Mila froze for a moment, her face turning ugly, so angry that she nearly jumped up.
“Now you’re blaming me? Declan, ask yourself, when I acted like this before, were you ever unhappy? Every single time, you went along with it. Did I ever tie you up and force you to come with me p>
“Now it’s all my fault? What right do you have to blame me p>
Declan looked at the distorted face of the childhood friend in front of him, unable to say a word.
Yeah, in this situation, who could he blame but himself?
He sighed deeply and slowly spoke, “You’re right, I’m the one who upset Selena. I should be apologizing to her, not wasting time arguing with you here p>
“Mila, from now on, let’s not see each other anymore. Whatever happens, don’t come looking for me p>
Declan waited downstairs in my studio for three days, but he never saw me.
When he finally burst into my office, the lily of the valley bouquet in his hands had started to wilt.
“Selena, we need to talk.” He ignored the security guards stopping him and stared at me with pleading eyes. “I know you’re angry. I’m sorry. I was a complete jerk that day. I didn’t consider your feelings at all p>
