Chapter 503 Mrs Torres

But just as Zavier was about to speak, Riley gently placed a hand on her father’s arm.

“Dad, let me take it from here.”

Zavier paused, meeting his daughter’s calm, steady gaze.

It dawned on him then; Riley no longer needed him to shield her under his wing.

She had the strength and the right to steer her own life.

His surprise melted into unreserved trust.

He gave a small nod, stepped back wordlessly, and ceded the center of the stage entirely to her.

“Go ahead.”

Riley moved to the microphone with quiet poise, her gaze sweeping across the sea of curious faces below, a measured smile playing at her lips.

“First of all, thank you all for being here today.

“However, what my father just said is only half the story.” She paused, letting the suspense build. “Beyond announcing my return to the Harper family…”

She turned toward Sebastian beside her and extended her hand.

Sebastian caught on instantly. He stepped forward, laced his fingers with hers, and stood shoulder to shoulder with her.

Riley turned back to face the room, her smile widening as she declared clearly, “I am now officially and legally Mrs. Torres.”

The hall erupted.

“Wait! Mrs. Torres!”

“Did I hear that right? She and Mr. Torres are already married?”

୮

When Sebastian had first accompanied Riley onto the stage, most had assumed the two families were simply sealing a powerful alliance through an engagement.

No one expected they’d skipped every step and gone straight to the altar.

From the crowd, a middle-aged man well-acquainted with both families called out, “Ms. Harper, are you saying you’ve already tied the knot with Mr. Torres?”

That question was on everyone’s lips.

All eyes swiveled to Sebastian.

Sebastian drew Riley a fraction closer and answered on her behalf.

“Yes. Riley and I are legally married. She’s been my wife for some time now.”

He paused, his gaze softening as he looked down at her with undisguised adoration. “When the time is right, we’ll hold a proper wedding ceremony. And when we do, you’re all welcome to share in our happiness.”

His confirmation cemented the news beyond doubt.

Several guests familiar with the Torres elders immediately turned toward the head table, directing playful, probing remarks at Miranda and Wayne. “Mrs. Torres, Mr. Torres! You kept Sebastian’s marriage.under such tight wraps; not a whisper slipped out!”

Miranda, beaming with pride, shot the speaker a mock-annoyed glance, her tone dripping with satisfaction. “When you find a daughter-in-law who ticks every single box, you keep her close and savor the joy behind closed doors! We had to enjoy it privately first-now we’re ready to make you all jealous.”

The message was unmistakable.

The Torres family approved of Riley wholeheartedly.

Elsewhere, Lucas stood frozen in the shadows at the edge of the hall, feeling as though he’d been plunged into an icy abyss.

In that instant, it was as if every taut string in his mind snapped at once, unleashing a deafening roar.

The chatter around him blurred into distant, muffled noise, like sound filtered through water-only the distorted, excited faces

remained visible.

He had assumed that Riley’s appearance today was merely the Harpers’ bid to solidify their standing through a marriage alliance
