Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts novel Chapter 324

"Rita, chill out." Zander said, patting Rita's hand in a comforting way. The usually calm and collected man was showing signs of anger.

"If you're here to celebrate the wedding with us, you're more than welcome. But if you're here to stir up trouble, then please leave. We don't need your drama." he said.

"I'm just looking out for you guys. Marrying someone like her will only bring trouble to your family. I'm just trying to help." Tina stated defiantly.

Joy could feel Jeffery's grip on her hand tightening, and it hurt. She knew he was pissed, but she was too overwhelmed to even speak, let alone explain her complicated past. She could only stand there helplessly.

"Ethan, what should we do? Rita seems really upset. I think she's really mad." Ines said.

Ethan looked at Rita on stage, "Don't worry, I've already called security. They should be able to handle this soon."

As soon as Ethan was done speaking, the hotel manager came over with two security guards. Ethan pointed at Tina and said, “The woman in the blue jacket is causing a scene,” and asked them to escort her out. The manager nodded, and the guards promptly grabbed Tina's arms.

She shrieked loudly and put up a fight, "What are you doing? Jeffery, how could you let them do this to me? I was trying to help you, you can't let this wicked woman deceive you. She's bad news."

After the security guards escorted Tina away, her cursing still echoed in the air. The guests started whispering among themselves.

Then, Zander's voice came from the stage, "Rita, what's wrong?"

Ines was taken aback when she saw Rita collapse into Zander's arms. She hurriedly grabbed Ethan's clothes and shouted, "Ethan, Rita passed out."

"Izzy, just stay calm." Ethan held her tightly, worried she would rush up on stage.

Jeffery immediately released Joy, picked up Rita, and headed outside, followed closely by Zander. Joy stood there in a daze for a while before she followed them out.

Ethan and Ines were a bit slower, as he was being careful with her pregnant belly. By the time they got outside, Jeffery's car was already pulling away. Ethan tried to hail a cab, but it was a busy area and took a while to get one. By the time they got in, Jeffery's car was nowhere in sight. As they settled into the cab, Joy caught up. Ethan gave her a glance but didn't say anything, he simply told the driver to go.

"Izzy, do you know which hospital they might have gone to?" Ethan asked since he wasn't familiar with B City.

It was Joy who provided the hospital address.

"My wife is pregnant. Could you please drive a bit more smoothly?" Ethan requested the taxi driver.

"Sure, I got you." The taxi driver said.

When they arrived at the hospital, Rita was in the emergency room receiving treatment. Zander and Jeffery were both standing outside, looking shell-shocked.

Ines turned pale, "Zander, why did Rita faint?"
