Yvonne Knight finally realized the terrifying aspect of Serena Sterling; Serena knew better than anyone else what Yvonne loved and feared most. She loved vanity and feared losing, so during this wedding, Serena ruthlessly shattered her vanity and made her lose everything. Now Serena was stabbing her with every word, indeed, everything she cared about was gone. Her loved ones avoided her like a plague, and Serena showed her the irony of her life. Yvonne’s eyes heated up as large tears fell, and she cried aloud in despair. At this moment, the police stepped forward and took Yvonne away. With Yvonne taken away, the Knight family was the most embarrassed. Originally, Old Man Knight intended to gain popularity by righteously dealing with Yvonne, but Serena’s words turned public opinion around, and even Anabelle Rathborne and Pearl Nightingale were criticized by the audience. People say that those worthy of pity must have hateful aspects. Yvonne attempted murder and did deserve arrest, but seeing her leave so miserably, I couldn’t help but sympathize with her. Isn’t it true? Didn’t you see Old Man Knight jump up suddenly to slap Yvonne when Old Mrs. Rathborne was about to reveal the person behind Annette’s wrist-cutting suicide attempt? I think Yvonne was pushed out to take the blame; Old Man Knight desperately wanted to clean the Knight family’s reputation, yet I think he won’t succeed. As for Annette, she watched her mother be abandoned and taken away without saying a word. No matter what, Yvonne is still her mother, isn’t she too realistic? And today’s bride, Aurora, Yvonne is her aunt, yet she said nothing about the entire situation, just watched like us. The Knight family is really cold-blooded, not a trace of human warmth. The key is, can’t you see what’s happening? Yvonne has long wanted to harm Serena; I fear Serena has become a thorn in the Knight family’s side. I suspect the recent scandals were orchestrated by the Knight family trying to put Serena in the spotlight, hoping she’d be crushed by public scrutiny. I’m furious; I initially supported the Knight family’s side and was angry with Serena, only to realize I was manipulated by them! Old Man Knight’s face darkened. He suddenly understood that Serena intentionally used Lucas and Knight’s marriage to stall him, opening a breach through Yvonne. Once the breach through Yvonne was opened, the event flipped completely; Serena played this move beautifully. Even when Yvonne collapsed on the ground, Serena went up and said those words, ensuring that the Knight family would never cleanse their reputation. Old Man Knight looked at Serena. He underestimated her; she was indeed the daughter of Seraphina Linden -- wise, decisive, courageous, and relentless, overcoming adversity like a brilliant pearl. At this time, the host quickly grabbed the microphone and spoke, "Ladies and gentlemen, we had a slight accident, let’s refocus on today’s groom and bride. I announce the wedding ceremony, please groom and bride proceed to the red carpet." Aurora’s face looked ugly; today was supposed to be her long-awaited wedding day. She couldn’t believe Serena caused such a scene at her wedding. Now, the cheerful wedding march sounded, Aurora straightened her back, adopting a princess demeanor, and walked down the red carpet holding Zane Crawford’s arm. Yet people below were still whispering. Heavens, Yvonne was just arrested by police for attempted murder, but the Knight family still has the heart to hold a wedding? Does the Knight family have no compassion? Aren’t they planning to find a lawyer for Yvonne? I think Aurora couldn’t wait to marry Zane. Aurora has loved Zane for so many years, Zane finally agreed to marry her, and no matter what disaster strikes today, she’s determined to marry him. Official source is novel⚑fire.net Listening to the comments, Aurora’s smile froze, deep down she hated Serena. Serena already forced her and the Knight family into this awkward situation. Continuing the wedding would invite scorn, pausing it would still invite scorn. Aurora, biting her lip, thought bitterly, before the wedding, the whole world saw her as Zane’s destined bride. Now, public opinion drastically changed, she faced mocking, as if she feared not marrying Zane today! Aurora was boiling with anger; her nose flared in frustration, and Anabelle Rathborne wasn’t faring much better, she gave Serena a fierce glare. At this moment, Old Mrs. Rathborne sternly looked at Anabelle, whispering, "Annette, come here!" Anabelle quickly moved behind Old Mrs. Rathborne, like a child who had done wrong. Old Mrs. Rathborne glanced at Anabelle, "Annette, this time Grandma chose to protect you, I hope you’ll behave wisely in the future!" Old Mrs. Rathborne’s words were quite severe, her stern eyes bore disappointment. Annabelle abandoned her mother out of self-interest; the matriarch observed it all, bewildered that such an unworthy descendant emerged from the Rathborne family. Anabelle shivered, not daring to meet Old Mrs. Rathborne’s gaze, feeling guilty and evasive. Old Mrs. Rathborne sighed, then kindly looked at Serena, "Serena, you spared Annette as agreed, I thank you." Serena’s bright eyes fell on Old Mrs. Rathborne’s face. She smiled gently; this time, she cooperated with Old Mrs. Rathborne, who only asked to protect Annette. Serena did so without exception, as Annette was Rathborne’s bloodline, no matter what she did, the Rathborne family would protect her. "Madam Rathborne, you don’t need to thank me. Remember to discipline your granddaughter more, lest others do so." Old Mrs. Rathborne nodded, "I will." Old Mrs. Rathborne felt regret, knowing a distance had grew between her and Serena after this incident. Serena, a girl with a sharp mind, wouldn’t initiate ties with the Rathborne family as long as Anabelle was present. She would never agree to be her god-granddaughter. Naturally, Old Mrs. Rathborne felt it inappropriate to propose it further. Old Mrs. Rathborne looked at Serena, wondering why she wasn’t a Rathborne granddaughter. At this point, Hayden Crawford approached Serena, lowering his gaze to her radiant face, "You’ve stirred quite enough chaos, shall we leave?" Hayden wanted to lead Serena away. Julian Rathborne, Jude Crawford, and Old Man Knight’s gaze fell on Serena. She looked at the newcomers on the red carpet and suddenly smiled, "Leave? That was just the appetizer; now the show truly begins!"
