Remorse After Breaking Up (Sebastian) novel Chapter 1040

The following morning, the wedding took place as scheduled.

The Berry family was set to welcome a new son-in-law, and the ceremony unfolded at their grand manor. As dawn broke, the estate came alive with vibrant decorations. Festive banners fluttered in the morning breeze, infusing the air with celebration and anticipation.

Although the Berry family had fallen on hard times, they still held the prestige of being a prominent family. With the marriage being facilitated by Deimante from the Bejeweled Tower, guests from all the notable families in Wonderton arrived to congratulate them.

However, the Berrys were in a state of panic. The wedding was about to start, but the groom was nowhere to be found.

Trevor was frantic and quickly sent someone to contact Deimante.

Dressed in her bridal gown, Lila approached him. "Dad, there's no need to panic. This is a blessing in disguise. If the groom is missing, we can just call off the wedding."

"How is this going to be okay? What about the contract?" he asked anxiously.

She smiled. "We've fulfilled our part of the deal with Ms. Sidorov. If the groom is missing, it's not our problem. Besides, we already signed the contract."

Trevor's expression turned serious. "You're making this sound too simple. Ms. Sidorov gave us that contract because of him. They might cancel the wedding without a second thought if the wedding doesn't happen. For our peace of mind, we must locate him now."

Lila's face paled at his words. "There's no way we can find the groom."

"What do you mean?" he asked urgently.

"He's dead," she said.

"What?" Trevor was taken aback. "Lila, you've gone too far! How could you kill him? If Ms. Sidorov finds out, we're done for."

"It wasn't me! It was Waylon who did it!" Lila hurriedly explained.

"Why didn't you tell me sooner?" His anxiety turned to irritation.

She realized the gravity of the situation and asked, "Dad, what do we do now?"

"What else can we do? For now, we have to act like we don't know anything. We might lose the contract, but let's just hope Ms. Sidorov doesn't take it out on us."
