Chapter 100 Meanwhile , Brian had rushed back to find me after sending Adeline to the hospital . But Adeline clung to his arm to stop him . " Mum and Dad just called . They said they already rescued my sister and took her home . If you leave now , I'll be all alone . " Brian couldn't help but feel irritated with the crying Adeline . He kept recalling my last cold , distant look . It left behind a strange unease in his chest.N However , Adeline kept talking , " Mum said Lilian's resting . And you're marrying her tomorrow , remember ? It's bad luck to see the bride the day before the wedding . You'll see her tomorrow . Don't worry . " It was only after Adeline told Brian that I was safe and sound that he exhaled slowly . He told himself that he would make everything up to me tomorrow and for the rest of our lives . The next day , the wedding was everywhere in the news . Everyone was talking about the grand union between the Wyatt and Herbert families , calling it the wedding of the century . Brian stood at the altar , excitement lighting up his face as he saw the bride walking toward him in a sea of flowers . He rushed forward and pulled " me " into his arms . < " Lilian , I missed you so much ! " he said warmly.§ But then the bride turned around . Brian's entire body froze . With a shocked expression , Brian angrily asked , " Adeline , why are you here ? Where's Lilian ? " } -8 As soon as Brian stopped asking , Adeline stopped at her tracks . She couldn't help but clutch the wedding dress tightly . Tears fell onto the hem like pearls from a broken string . Her voice was trembling so much it was hard for her to breathe when she said , " Brian , Lilian is gone . Yesterday , she packed her bags and said she would never come back after she left the kidnappers . " " I knew today was your wedding . I was afraid the marriage between our two families would fall apart . I didn't want you to be humiliated , so I wore her wedding dress and stood here for her . " " Brian's eyes widened in shock . His fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white . His voice was sharp and filled with disbelief . " Impossible ! Lilian promised me she would stay . She wouldn't leave ! " The surrounding guests immediately broke into whispers . " So the bride isn't Lilian ? Then , who is she ? " " " Did Lilian run away ? This was supposed to be the wedding of the year , but it has turned to this now Brian ignored them all . Pushing aside the still - crying Adeline , he ran out of the hall . He grabbed his phone and dialed my number over and over with desperation . But no one answered . He called again and again , but there was only silence . A heavy panic began to rise in him . It was a feeling he had never experienced before . Breathing hard , he opened our chat and began sending messages one after another with trembling fingers . [ Lilian , please stop being angry , okay ? Where are you ? ] } [ Adeline was wrong to wear your wedding dress . I already scolded her . When you come back , I'll have a hundred new ones made for you . ] [ Please , just reply with one word . Don't make me worry like this . ] " But no matter how many messages Brian sent , there was no reply . When he tried calling again , the cold automated voice answered . " The number you dialed is turned off . " Eventually , Brian became upset the moment Adeline and my parents came rushing out after him . Adeline looked at him with reddened eyes as she confronted him in grievance , " Brian , how could you leave me there like that ? Everyone was watching ! The media , the guests ... I was almost laughed out of the room ! " This time , Brian just frowned . He looked at her with a trace of irritation . " " Adeline , I'll say this for the last time . Today was supposed to be my wedding with Lilian , She is the only woman I will ever marry . You should never have been standing there in her place . " } Adeline's expression darkened for a moment , but she quickly replaced it with a pitiful look . She then tried to hold him , but he refused . Eventually , she sniffled as if gathering courage before speaking in a trembling voice , " Brian , I didn't want to say this , but I can't watch you be fooled anymore ... " ... " Lilian hasn't really loved you for quite a long time . Her private life is messy . She's been with several men behind your back . " " When the Lloyd Family proposed a marriage alliance , she realized they were richer than the Herbert Family . She asked our parents for one billion dollars and left to marry into the Lloyd Family instead . Yesterday , she packed her bags and went to Thame P P them ! " " Exactly ! " Mrs. Wyatt immediately stepped forward as she spoke bitterly , " How could we have raised such a shameless daughter ? She abandoned a good man like you and even tricked us out of one billion dollars ! She's disgraced our entire family ! " Mr. Wyatt let out a heavy sigh before adding , " Brian , stop looking for her . A woman like that isn't worth it . Just let Adeline stay by your side instead ... " Before they could say more , a group of reporters burst through . Cameras were flashing as they captured every word . Meanwhile , Brian's face turned dark . " Get them out of here ! No filming ! " he shouted to the bodyguards . " The bodyguards immediately moved to block the reporters . " Yet , Brian didn't even glance at Adeline or my parents . He got into his car , clutching his phone so tightly it hurt . His heart pounded with fear and anger . Deep down , he refused to believe it . No way . I wouldn't do this to him . After all , the me whom he knew was kind and innocent . I couldn't have betrayed him ... could I ? !!
