Eliza let out a scoff!
"So, for the sake of your reputation, the face of the Roth family, and Yvonne's supposed fragility—you silently agreed that I am a crazy, clingy woman, and you accepted all the dirty water they poured on me."
Eliza took a step back, as if getting even an inch closer to him disgusted her!
"Zander, you truly make me sick."
Those words completely shattered Zander's final line of defense.
He was thoroughly enraged.
"Fine... since you insist on making everyone miserable at a time like this..."
Zander gritted his teeth and handed the frail Yvonne into the arms of a bridesmaid standing behind him.
He snatched the pen off the table.
"Eliza, as you wish!"
He viciously pressed the nib against the agreement, the ink rapidly blooming on the paper.
Leaning against the bridesmaid and using the crowd as cover.
Yvonne's lips curled into a triumphant smile.
She won.
No matter how much Eliza kicked up a fuss, Zander ultimately chose her!
Zander's pen scratched across the paper.
Trembling, he barely finished signing the final letter of his name.
"Wooooooo!"
Without warning, the emergency siren violently shattered the peace above the yacht!
Immediately following, the previously clear sky above the ocean turned pitch black.
Thick, oppressive dark clouds rolled in from the horizon like spilled ink, blotting out the sun.
"What's going on?"
"Why did the sky suddenly turn dark!"
Screams erupted from the crowd.
Before anyone could even react, a terrifying gale mixed with freezing seawater crashed onto the first-floor deck!
The sea of white roses bordering the deck was instantly smashed, petals swirling wildly in the roaring wind alongside the seawater.
The massive champagne tower collapsed with a thunderous crash, shards of glass spraying everywhere.
"Storm! It's a marine storm!" accompanied the blaring sirens, a crew member roaring at the top of his lungs.
However, far more terrifying than the storm was the feeling of weightlessness coming from beneath their feet.
The giant yacht groaned with the sound of splintering metal. Beneath the surface, a colossal whirlpool was forming at terrifying speed, its immense suction dragging fiercely at the teetering vessel.
The yacht tilted!
The once flat deck instantly turned into a slanted slide.
He turned his head, searching through the apocalyptic scene for her figure.
"Eliza! Eliza!"
When he finally spotted Eliza through his rain-blurred vision, his heart nearly stopped.
Eliza had been pushed to the very edge of the deck, on the verge of tumbling over the glass wall.
"Zander! I'm so scared!"
Yvonne followed his gaze and immediately started screaming.
Right at that moment, a monstrous wave, dozens of feet high, carrying world-destroying power, smashed into the side of the yacht!
The vessel was violently hurled upward by the impact, before slamming back into the ocean at an even more horrifying angle!
"Ah!"
Yvonne let out a bloodcurdling scream.
Zander's hand had already lost its strength, and he could only watch as Yvonne screamed and was flung outward.
And Eliza, who was at the very edge, had absolutely nothing to hold onto.
The scenic glass railing, crushed under the dual pressure of the massive wave and gravity, completely shattered into glittering dust.
Amidst the torrential rain and collapsing luxury, Eliza and Yvonne were simultaneously thrown over the railing, plummeting into the bottomless whirlpool as Zander screamed in absolute despair...
"Yvonne! Eliza!"
