Chapter 245 A Gathering of Power

Hazel and the others thought Evan had finally arrived, so they immediately turned around. But the moment they did, it felt as if something exploded in their minds.

Their eyes widened, their faces full of disbelief.

The people who had arrived were not Evan. They were powerful figures from every corner of society.

Sean, Belinda. Raymond, Flint, and Arthur. One after another, they appeared, like a procession of nobles strolling through the streets.

‘Good heavens…’

Hazel and the others were stunned, their mouths hanging open.

Seeing so many brides in wedding gowns lined up to register their marriages had already been shocking

enough.

But that had only been the beginning. Now, an entire group of influential giants had arrived to stand

behind them.

What on earth was happening at the courthouse today?

When their daughters publicly chased after a man without hesitation, what parent wouldn’t want to

witness such an important moment in person?

Hazel also noticed a small detail.

Sean, Raymond, and the other prominent figures were actually gathered around another group.

These people carried an overwhelming presence in every movement, like towering mountains rising

above the earth.

Especially the tall, white-haired elderly man standing in the center.

He was clearly very old, yet the pressure he gave off felt like a mountain that reached the sky.

Today was the wedding day of Gaius’ beloved little princess. Of course, Victor, Seth, Tyson, and the others had come to show their support.

Naturally, they wore simple suits. If they had appeared in full regalia, it might have caused a public stir.

When the girls at the scene saw their elders arrive, their confidence instantly surged. They straightened their backs and carried themselves with pride.

Before setting out, each of their elders had given them the same advice.

“Don’t be nervous. Don’t lose your composure. Be graceful and confident. Show Mr. Norwood the most beautiful side of yourself.”

Whether things worked out or not would be up to fate. At least they had tried. At least they had fought for the chance. That alone was enough.

Thousands of women might compete for Evan. But in the end, only one woman could stand beside him.

The competition was brutally fierce. All they could do was try their best and leave no regrets.

Even before Evan arrived, the girls had already begun competing with one another in dazzling displays. None of them was willing to lose.

The scene was mesmerizing.

Completely out of place in this dazzling spectacle, Hazel and the other two stood frozen in shock. Their bodies trembled, sweat sliding down their foreheads.

“H-Hazel, why am I suddenly so nervous?” Anya kept wiping her forehead, her voice trembling.

“Don’t even mention it. I’m sweating too…” Roxanne kept taking deep breaths.

Among the three heiresses, only Hazel remained somewhat calm.

She told Anya and Roxanne not to let themselves be affected. She told Anya and Roxanne not to let

themselves be affected.

This was other people’s business, not theirs. They had come here today for one reason only-to get divorced.

But how could they not be affected?

There were too many powerful people here. Too many beautiful women were openly competing. An invisible pressure crashed over them like a tidal wave.

The three heiresses could only retreat, step by step, until they reached a corner. They barely dared to breathe.

“Where’s Evan? Still no news?” Anya asked again.

At this point, they already wanted to leave. Standing here felt like standing over an open fire. It was unbearable.

All they wanted now was for Evan to show up quickly. Whether they actually divorced or not didn’t even matter. They just wanted to leave this place first.

“No. Still nothing.” Hazel grew angry the moment the topic came up. Deep down, she grumbled, ‘He still hasn’t come. Unbelievable. Is he really that tired of living?’

“Hazel, let’s go. Evan probably isn’t coming.”

“Yeah. Whether he comes or not, once the divorce cooling-off period ends, the divorce still counts.”

Hearing that, Roxanne and Anya both became convinced Evan wouldn’t show up and began urging Hazel

to leave.

“Let’s wait a little longer…” Hazel countered.

More than anything, she wanted to see Evan swallow his pride. She didn’t necessarily want to punish him. She just wanted to see him yield, especially after waiting an entire night without sleep.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to accept it.

“Wait, something’s not right. Why are those big shots suddenly arguing?”

But soon, the three heiresses noticed something strange.

When those powerful figures first arrived, they had been chatting pleasantly, smiling as they spoke with

one another.

But somehow, after one particular topic came up, they suddenly started arguing, their faces turning red.

Unfortunately, Hazel and the others were standing too far away to hear clearly.

“It sounds like… they’re all talking about their daughters…” Hazel caught a few fragments of the

conversation.
