Chapter 270
“Rebecca, I’m counting to three! If you’re not out here, today’s wedding is canceled p>
“One p>
“Two p>
When he actually started counting, the bridesmaids and the bride’s family were stunned.
He had no patience for their games, and his attitude made it clear he didn’t even want to marry the bride.
“Three p>
He said the numbers crisply, without a hint of hesitation.
And on “three,” he turned to leave.
Penelope’s eyes narrowed. This wedding was happening whether he liked it or not. She couldn’t be the only one who knew how despicable they were; everyone had to know.
She was going to make it so that the Sullivan family and Rebecca could never hold their heads high in Orenth again.
“A wedding is no joke,” she said loudly.
Her voice seemed to trigger something in Zebulon. His eyes turned red. “I never imagined that on my wedding day, you would be a bridesmaid instead of the bride p>
“Don’t be ridiculous p>
“Can you really bear to watch me marry someone else p>
“Zebulon p>
“I actually regret it p>
Penelope wanted to roll her eyes. Playing the part of the devoted lover at a time like this wasn’t just shameless; it was pure malice.
“A wedding is supposed to be lively! We’re just trying to add to the festive atmosphere. If you leave because of this, you’ll make us look like the bad guys!” she exclaimed, her voice loud enough for everyone to hear.
The other bridesmaids snapped out of their stupor and rushed to block Zebulon’s path.
“We were just trying to help! Don’t make us look bad p>
“If we’d known you were going to be like this, we wouldn’t have wasted our time and energy to be bridesmaids p>
“If you didn’t want to marry Rebecca, why didn’t you say so earlier? Why cause a scene now and put us in this position p>
The bridesmaids grew angrier as they spoke, finally joining forces to push the reluctant Zebulon back.
Just then, the door was thrown open, and Rebecca rushed out.
“Zebulon, I’m here! I’ll go with you p>
But when Zebulon saw her, his frown deepened. He shot her a harsh glare and once again turned to stride away.
Rebecca gathered her skirt and hurried after him.
The bridesmaids and the bride’s family watched, dumbfounded. They had never
seen such a petulant groom or such a desperate bride.
“No wonder he was with another
woman the night before. He clearly doesn’ love the bride and doesn’t want to get married one of the bridesmaids whispered
The groomsmen overheard and were confused. They asked the bridesmaids what
was going on and how they knew about the groom and another woman.
The bridesmaids, still fuming, spilled everything how Rebecca was the other woman, how Zebulon had cheated with his girlfriend’s best thend how the two of them were partners in crime, and how Zebulon had been with another woman last night while the bride’s side watched a live broadcast of the whole thing.
The groomsmen got a juicy piece of gossip and immediately started sharing it with each other.
As she watched Zebulon and Rebecca being pushed into the wedding car by the wedding party, Penelope let out a huge sigh of relief.
A scumbag and a home-wrecker deserved to get married and torture each other for
the rest of their lives. That was a perfect ending.
Susan walked up to Penelope, her face a mask of guilt, looking like she wanted to say something but didn’t dare.
“Go on, tell me. How is Rebecca planning to humiliate me p>
“How did you know?” Susan asked, shocked.
Penelope’s lips curled. “She invited me to be her maid of honor. It certainly wasn’t to make herself feel better. It was to embarrass me, preferably in front of all the big
circle, sof’d be run out of town p>
Hames in Orenth’s busing not
Susan let out a breath. “You’re right p>
