Chapter 27
Athunderclap exploded in the indigo sky, and Clariva felt as if the thunder had struck her night on the forehead. Her dumond–studded crown already unsteady on her head, plopped down
Rain, which was held back all morning, began to drizzle down. The crowd dispersed, Iraving Clarissa standing on the rooftop like a stone, gazing despairingly at Marc’s departing figure. Mare did not look back, leaving with great determination and without any reluctance.
Mare, who used to shield her from any storm, was no longer offering her his umbrella.
She now realized just how wrong her decision to break up with him had been. She also became acutely aware that her chaotic life during those three years abroad was finally catching up with her.
Awedding that had turned almost into a farce came to an end in a downpour.

Although the guests did not get to witness a picture perfect romantic wedding, they did witness quite a spectacle, making them f event had been worthwhile.
The Males family members did not feel embarrassed. In fact, they hoped the wedding would not go smoothly. As long as Marc did not bring the Santos family’s daughter into their home, it was a good thing for them. They did not care about what others might say. After all, those people would not dare speak ill of them in front of them.
Moreover, Pearl had returned, and for them, that was a reason to celebrate.
The Santos family, however, was not taking it so well.
The series of incidents during the wedding turned Clarissa into a spectacle. It also made the Santos family the laughingstock of Machodean’s elate circles, causing them to lose face.
This is ridiculous! Absurd! We, the Santos family, are an illustrious clan. How could I raise a daughter like this? How could I face others from now on! How can your mother and I show ourselves in public? Mart Santos, Clarissa’s father, paced angrily in the room, pointing an accusing finger at his daughter. His gold–framed glasses were crooked, but he was too furious to adjust them.
Clarissa sat on the edge of the bed, crying non–stop. She was still wearing her wedding gown, which was now stained. It was as if she had gone from bring a blank canvas in Marc’s eyes to becoming a piece of discarded paper.
“Alright, enough already. It’s not Clarissa’s fault.” Lana Santos, Clarissa’s mother, tried to calm things down.
Matt snorted coldly. “It’s all your fault! Your parenting methods are flawed: You used to say that we had to be careful with our daughter and spend money on her upbringing. How much money have we spent on her! And now, she can’t even marry into a wealthy family. What was the point of spending all that money!”
Lana, after being blamed, also became temperamental “Oh, se, now you’re blaming me! Did I tell you to spoil her like this? It’s not my fault. It’s Lisa, your sister, who kept talking about marrying into a wealthy family. Clarissa was corrupted by Lisa”
“Enough!”
Clarissa screamed, covering!

Mati was about to say more when suddenly his phone rang, displaying “Lisa” on the screen,
“It’s Lisa calling!”
After a brief exchange with Lisa, Matt handed the phone to Clarissa Clarissa choked back tears and called out, “Aunt” before hearing a voice on the other end that sounded cold and disdainful despite its languid tone. “Why are you crying! This minor setback has you collapsing! You want to give up so easily!”
“What can I do now?” Clarissa said in despair. “He blames me for deceiving him. He doesn’t trust me anymore, and he thinks I’m pr

“Aunt, what should I do now?” Claris had lost all sense of direction. In the past, every smile and gesture she made none of it worked, and Mare was on the verge of leaving her for good.
“Don’t worry too much for now, Lisa reassured her. “Marc is definitely angry at the moment Walt until he cools down, and then, your Bungs ru lam As for his ex–wife Pearl, it seems we underestimated her. Rest assured, I’ll help you settle this score!”

As Marc’s ex–wife, she felt she had already done a lot by coming to help him. After all, they were divorced, and she was still assisting Marc

“Pearl, where have you been all these days? We searched everywhere for you. Mare even checked all the surveillance carneras within a hundred. miles but could not find a trace of you.
“Pearl, was that helicopter really your own? You actually know how to fly a plane! When did you learn? Why didn’t you tell us? Can you take me flying in the sky?”
Pearl smiled faintly. “Sure, we can do that. But it’s raining today, so we can’t fly. Maybe another day,”
“Wow, that’s amazing. Pearl! You’re the best!”
Mare, watching Caleb excitedly dancing in his seat, could not help but silently berate him for being so foolish. He raised his hand and patted Caleb’s backside, saying. “Sit properly
Caleb received a light smack and, upon seeing Marc’s stern gaze, immediately behaved.
Mare sat in the second row and discreetly glanced toward the back row. His eyes met Pearl’s. She sat upright, with an air of composure, next to Phoenix, and surprisingly, she did not look any less imposing
His brow furrowed. Marc could not shake the feeling that Pearl had transformed into an entirely different person since their divorce, with a demeanor that was completely different from before.
