“I am nothing! A father and a stepfather like you are nothing to me! I hate you! I hate both of you!”
Then, he glared murderously at Nicole without blinking for a few seconds. After that, he suddenly
snickered, but there was a hint of sadness in that scornful laughter.
“Evan will be marrying Sir Musgrave’s daughter now, Levant. If you want, you can stay. Otherwise, you
should head back to Wicked Palace.”
Murphy gestured to his men to send Levant back.
“There’s no need for that! I’ll see myself out!” roared Levant.
After standing still for a moment, the man lifted his seemingly heavy legs and left.
The guests below the stage continued their discussions.
They had originally been there for Levant’s wedding, but someone else unexpectedly replaced the
groom.
The three failed weddings instantly became big news, and many felt sympathy for Levant.
Since Evan had replaced the man as the groom, the wedding became nothing more than a formality.
Nicole kept holding Evan’s hand tightly and cared not what others had to say. At that moment, the two
only had each other in their eyes.
The woman was dumbstruck by the turn of events.
She thought she and Evan would have to go their separate ways for the rest of their lives. Never did
she imagine him to appear suddenly and even become her bridegroom.
To Nicole, that was more than a pleasant surprise – it was a downright miracle.
Although they had been through many twists and turns, Nicole still felt fortunate.
When they finished the ceremony, Evan made a promise to her. “When we get home, I will give you a
romantic and unique wedding.”
“Okay!” she nodded excitedly, her eyes gleaming like stars in the night sky.
When they got back to the estate, Sheila looked at Nicole and sincerely apologized to her.
“I’m so sorry, Nicole. I didn’t know you wanted to marry Levant to save Evan. I thought you really fell for
Levant and decided to abandon Mr. Seet. I even accused you of being cold-hearted. Please forgive me
for my ignorance.”
“It’s okay. I don’t blame you. I would have done the same. You know how the both of us are like – we’re
both straightforward.”
Holding Nicole’s hand, Sheila nodded vigorously.
Davin chimed in, “You even made John and I misunderstand Nicole. We believed you when you say
those things about her.”
“Anyhow, I believe everyone is happy about how things turned out in the end.” John chuckled before
turning to Sophia.
“Ma’am, I knew you’re an extraordinary woman who can do extraordinary things, but I never expected
you to be a member of Wicked Palace and a sister to Murphy.”
“Do you think it’s a good or bad thing that I was a member of Wicked Palace?” Sophia asked with a
chuckle.
After some thought, John glanced at Jonathan and replied, “Good thing. It’s definitely a good thing.”
Sophia then exclaimed, “I didn’t expect Murphy to treat me the way he did more than twenty years ago.
He’s a fine brother indeed!”
“Now that you have Wicked Palace’s got your back, the Seets wouldn’t dare cross you, Ma’am.”
John started to butter Sophia up at the revelation.
The woman lifted her head to look at Jonathan, Evan, and Davin. “What do you think, Seets? Is John
right?”
Her husband coughed slightly but said nothing, while Evan nodded and replied softly, “Yup.”
Davin walked up to his mother to give her a massage, hoping to flatter her.
“Of course he’s right! From now on, you’ll be of utmost importance in our family!” Davin then gave
Sophia a big thumbs-up.
Sheila pouted as she watched the way Davin acted. She was worried that the man would probably side
with his mother if she ever fought with Sophia.
Is it really a good idea to marry this man?
The woman sighed to herself and decided that she would test Davin when she gets the chance. She
wanted to see if she was more important to him than his mother.
