The first floor was empty.

She headed to the second floor, continuing her tirade. “I watched Chloe grow up. She might have some minor flaws, but she’s a good person. Don’t go too far! How am I supposed to explain this to Aunt Sandra?”

The study door was open, but the bedroom was empty. In the brightly lit villa, the only sounds were Miranda’s footsteps and her shouting.

Question after question went unanswered. Accusation after accusation brought no explanation.

After a long while, Miranda finally realized Ethan wasn’t home. She pulled out her phone and called Leo

Martinez.

‘Leo, where is Ethan?”

Ms. Hale, Mr. Hale should be boarding a plane by now,” Leo answered.

Miranda checked the time-5:00 AM. Her rage intensified. “Where is he going?!”

Everett. There was an emergency.”

Ridiculous!” Miranda’s vision went dark for a second. “No emergency is more important than the wedding! Stop he plane immediately! He is not allowed to go!”

eo remained silent. Even if he had the ability to stop Ethan, he certainly didn’t have the guts.

Miranda’s head was thrumming with pain. She sat down on the edge of the bed, her gaze landing on a medical eport sitting on the nightstand.

The anger and curses died in her throat. Her breath hitched as she grabbed the report and scanned it. Her pupils lilated instantly.

Ms. Hale, I’m sorry, I…”

Before Leo could finish his apology, the call was disconnected.

Miranda read every word of that report, from top to bottom. Her expression gradually turned grim. In the quiet ‘illa, a suffocating atmosphere began to spread.

After an unknown amount of time, her phone rang. It was Chloe Bennett.

Mrs. Hale, it’s almost time. Did you find Ethan?”

Not yet,” Miranda replied, her tone stiff and cold.

Chloe let out a soft sob, sounding hurt but acting magnanimous. “Don’t be angry, Mrs. Hale. Ethan must have been delayed by something. But today is the wedding-you have to find him no matter what. The Bennett family’s

ace isn’t important, but if the Hale family becomes a joke…”

Miranda didn’t respond for a long time.

‘Mrs. Hale?” Chloe called out cautiously. “Are you still there?”

I’m here.” Miranda gritted her teeth and asked, “Chloe, tell me the truth. Are you and Ethan together because you

Chloe didn’t hesitate. “Of course. Ethan and I grew up together. We love each other. He’s willing to marry me, and you support us, don’t you?”

From the moment Chloe was born, Miranda had intended for her to be her daughter-in-law. This idea was deeply rooted in her mind; she was the one who had proactively influenced both the Bennett mother and daughter.

“Mrs. Hale, what’s wrong?” Chloe asked urgently. “Why are you asking this? Is Ethan trying to back out? You have to help me…”

“Don’t worry. I’ll give you a satisfactory explanation today!”

Miranda interrupted her pitiful whining and hung up.

She returned to the Hale manor first, pretending everything was fine as she led the family to the hotel. Under her arrangement, the process of Ethan picking up the bride from the Bennett house was skipped. The two families met directly at the hotel banquet hall.

The wedding car brought Chloe to the hotel. Normally, Ethan should have been there to help her out of the car. But Ethan was nowhere to be seen, and the atmosphere on-site began to freeze.

Miranda told Chloe to get out of the car herself. Sandra Bennett made a scene, complaining that Ethan wouldn’t show his face, and was visibly upset in front of everyone.
