Everything was clear now—the person who saved Finnian that day had been Amara!
Because it all happened at the Everly Estate, Tina, who was just an ordinary servant there, actually knew the truth. But for some reason, Finnian mistakenly believed that it was Liliana who had saved him...
As Hogan thought it over, a chill ran down his spine. If Tina hadn''te forward yesterday to reveal the truth, no one would have ever known that the baby Amara was carrying was actually Finnian''s. Finnian would have remained deceived by that scheming woman, Liliana, especially since he was about to marry her...
And Finnian, who loved Amara so deeply, had fathered a child with her yet he waspletely unaware...
Hogan''s face twisted, his demeanor growing so dark and ominous that it was almost frightening. This was a staggering conspiracy! Liliana, you really are a cunning woman-well yed!
He nced at his watch, and his eyes widened in rm. Oh no, the wedding reception is about to start!
He suddenly sprang up from the sofa and charged toward the door.
"Hey, where are you going?" Celeste stepped in front of him. "I haven''t finished talking to you yet! Back then, it was all Liliana''s scheme. But she pinned the me on me, because she was holding something over my head-or more urately, over my parents..."
She truly wanted to confide in Hogan; life abroad had been extremely tough for hertely, and she missed him a lot. She just wanted a chance to really talk things through with him.
But the wedding reception was about to begin, and Hogan had no time for this. He brushed past her, saying, “We can talk about thister. I have something urgent I need to do right now."
"What is it?"
"I have to stop Finnian from getting married."
Celeste stared at him, eyes wide in disbelief. She had rushed back just for Finnian''s wedding, and now Hogan was saying he wanted to stop it... What kind of situation was this?
Minute by minute, the clock hands crept toward five o''clock-Finnian and Liliana''s small wedding reception was about to begin.
Liliana was wearing a striking red Chinese-style dress and dramatic makeup. Red had always suited her, but today she looked especially stunning-she truly took everyone''s breath away when she walked in.
Finnian was dressed in a suit. Technically, he should have worn a traditional outfit as well, but he had little enthusiasm for this marriage and didn''t want to make a big deal out of it-so he simply wore a suit.
Atst, five o''clock arrived, and the wedding dinner officially began. Emma beamed
and announced, "It''s time-let''s go in!"
She instructed the waitstaff to open the doors. Two servers pulled them open simultaneously, revealing the scene inside.
Finnian and Liliana walked in
ld
together, facing nearly a hundred tables of guests in the banquet hall Finnian, though sharply dressed, wore an expression of col indifference he looked more like man attending a funeral than his own wedding.
Liliana kept an elegant smile on her face, taking Finnian''s arm and leaning in closer to him.
Emma, Mr. Kevin Everly, and several members of the Everly family followed behind. They were all preparing to make the rounds and toast the guests, as was custom at Wye family weddings.
Emma was dressed in a soft<pvender qipao, looking regal and graceful as ever. Raising her ss she said warmly Todays Finnan and Liliana''s wedding reception—a truly joyous asion. Thank you all foring to celebrate with us..." Cóntent
