Chapter 6 Chapter 6 Every single pair of eyes snapped toward the red carpet entrance. Backlit in the doorway, a tall figure in a blindingly white wedding dress walked forward step by step. In the dead silence and collective gasps, Scarlett strode directly to the altar. At 5'9″ plus 4-inch heels, her presence was commanding. Her prosthetic leg was completely visible, no attempt to hide it as guests stared with shock and curiosity. Her gaze swept over Declan's ashen face before settling on me, lips curving in a triumphant smile: "Ms. Whitmore, since you've already burned bridges... how about..." She turned to Declan, her expression instantly shifting to tender devotion-yet with an undeniable authority: "Declan, marry me." The crowd erupted in whispers, buzzing about this audacious woman. 'Scarlett! Are you out of your MIND?! Get OUT!" Declan was furious, nothing like the tender lover from the video. He pointed at her, eyes blazing: "Who told you to come here?! Security! DRAG HER OUT!" Scarlett wasn't fazed at all-she actually laughed: "Declan, you're just losing one fiancée. You've got me." 'Can't you be honest with yourself? You love me." Her gaze turned flirtatious, voice sultry: "When we're together, you tell me I'm like a wild rose-thorny but irresistible, driving you crazy... it's all on that video, honey." Scarlett's words were gasoline on the fire. Declan charged at her, screaming: 'Scarlett! SHUT UP! When did I ever say I loved you?! That was... that was..." He stumbled over his words, panic-stricken as he shouted: "You SEDUCED me! I was drunk and stupid-just that ONE time! I didn't even know what happened! I regretted it the second I woke up! I only love Grace! Always have, always will!" As if trying to convince me, he lunged at me again. His voice broke, almost sobbing: "What's so great about her anyway? She's a CRIPPLE! How could I actually want her? Grace, think about it-she can barely walk straight, how could I genuinely care about a disabled person? I helped her out of PITY!" "YES! Pity! Like feeling sorry for a stray dog! How could I throw away you-throw away six years-for HER?!" "DECLAN!" Scarlett's face went completely white. 16.21 Dear Hubby Your Riessct Virtalma: Chapter 6 Chapter 6 Every single pair of eyes snapped toward the red carpet entrance.

In her heels and emotional state, Scarlett stumbled hard when he shoved her, nearly falling as her prosthetic scraped against the ground with a harsh grinding sound. She looked completely pathetic. But suddenly, Scarlett let out a twisted laugh. She flashed a deranged smile and pulled a folded paper from her purse, waving it high: You think you can just dump me? Declan, look closely!
