"What did you say? Where's my father?"
Evelyn never imagined that her father would disappear on her wedding day.
Grace was very anxious.
"I don't know either. The groom is on the way. I looked everywhere, but I couldn't find Mr. Ethan. He didn't answer his phone. I wonder if something has happened."
Hearing Grace's words, Evelyn stood up abruptly and ran out, lifting her skirt.
"Ms. Evelyn, you're the bride. You can't go out."
The makeup artist shouted after her.
Evelyn turned a deaf ear. All she cared about now was her father's safety.
Where was he?
Today was her wedding day. Her father definitely wouldn't go far, but why didn't he answer his phone?
So many questions came into her mind.
Her phone rang just then.
Evelyn had a bad premonition.
She took out her phone and saw that the call was from an unknown number.
Evelyn hesitated for a moment, but she still pressed the answer button.
"Hello? Who is this?"
"If you want your father to be safe, then take this opportunity to kill Nicole today."
The caller's voice had been processed by a transducer.
Evelyn's heart tightened nervously.
"Who are you? Today is my wedding day. Release my father!"
"As long as you promise me to kill Nicole today, I will release your father."
The other person was extremely resolute.
Evelyn was on the verge of having a mental breakdown.
"What are you talking about? Today is my wedding day. Blood brings bad luck! Besides, Nicole is my family. How can I kill her? If I hurt her, my marriage will be ruined."
"I don't care. Is your husband more important to you or is your father? Make your decision. Of course, I won't let you get married without anyone giving you away. Your father is in the wine cellar. You can get him out, but he was poisoned by me. If you don't kill Nicole today, your father will die. Evelyn, think about it. One is your father who raised you through hard work, and the other is a woman who is not even close with you. Who means more to you?"
The caller hung up afterwards.
Evelyn was going crazy.
"Ms. Evelyn, you should go back. The groom will be here soon. I'll go find Mr. Ethan."
Grace managed to catch up with Evelyn and quickly stopped her.
Evelyn looked at her and asked, "Grace, how long have you been working for my family?"
Grace was slightly confused by this question, but she quickly replied, "It has been twenty years."
"Twenty years. In this sense, you're like my mother to me. She passed away when I was three years old. You have been taking care of me since then, right?"
Evelyn looked at Grace with tears in her eyes.
"Yes, Ms. Evelyn, why are you suddenly talking about this?"
Seeing Evelyn like this, Grace couldn't help but feel sad.
Evelyn smiled, her eyes teary.
"Yes, why did I bring this up? Perhaps I'm too excited about getting married today. Other girls are all taken care of by their mother on their wedding day, but I am not. Fortunately, I have you. Thank you for taking care of me all these years."
Grace felt something was wrong, but she still held Evelyn's hand and said, "The most important thing now is to find your father. It will be awkward if he doesn't show up when the groom comes. All the guests are here."
"My father is in the wine cellar. Have someone bring him out."
Evelyn walked into the room, lifting her skirt, but she no longer felt the joy and excitement of getting married.
Grace was puzzled.
"The wine cellar? What did Mr. Ethan go into the wine cellar for? Ms. Evelyn, how did you know that your father is in the wine cellar?"
But Evelyn didn't answer her.
When she returned to her room, the makeup artist scolded, "The makeup hasn't been finished yet. The groom will be here soon. Look at your sweaty face. You need to get your makeup mended. By the way, did you find your father?"
"Yes."
Evelyn nodded and said nothing else.
When the makeup artist saw that she had no intention to say anything, she stopped asking and began to concentrate on her makeup.
Evelyn's bridesmaid was one of her cousins.
When Tim and his best men arrived, they were kept outside the door by the bridesmaid. They and the bridesmaid talked, laughed and sang cheerfully.
This was the moment Evelyn had been looking forward to, but now she was not happy at all.
The Masons had always been cautious, but because of her wedding, they had been socializing with many people coming into and going out of their house. It was very likely that someone had taken advantage of this opportunity to get into their house and poisoned her father.
She had been worried that Major's men would openly hurt Nicole, but she did not expect that she would have to do the killing herself.
Evelyn kept thinking about how her father had been taking care of her since her childhood.
His business was very successful, and he would often travel to another country for business, but every time she missed him or on her birthday, he would come back for her.
Evelyn knew that her father had poured too much effort and love into her.
If she were poisoned and used to threaten her father today, he would definitely save her without any hesitation.
But what about her?
What was she thinking?
She was still thinking about Nicole.
