Chapter 348
The guests present at the wedding had mixed emotions when they saw the image on the big screen.
They began to whisper to one another.
Daisy Bailey was so angry her face turned pale.
She had to fight the urge to wring her son’s neck after what happened, not wanting to cause a scene at the wedding.
Peter Moore also went blank when he saw the photo on the big screen.
However, he quickly reacted by picking up a stool beside him and throwing it at the screen.
The big screen flickered a few times and instantly went off.
The videos that gave him a splitting headache finally disappeared for now.
Peter’s back still faced Jessica; his entire body trembled, anticipating what he would see next.
He did not dare to turn around.
He was afraid of meeting Jessica’s eyes.
Meanwhile, Jessica Rodriguez had already recovered from her initial shock.
She calmed down and returned to her usual self.
She looked like a criminal who had been waiting for her verdict and had finally learned of the outcome.
Meanwhile, Marina Bailey refused to see Jessica being retreated this way.
She stepped forward, wanting to teach Peter a lesson.
However, Jessica stopped her.
She shook her head at Marina.
“Jessica,” Marina’s voice was a little hoarse.
“Let me handle this matter myself,” Jessica said in a deep voice.
Marina frowned and hesitated for a moment. In the end, she relented and stood still.
“Thank you,” Jessica squeezed a smile. as she glanced at Marina appreciatively.
“Thank you. What does it mean?” Marina wondered.
“Why are you thanking me?” Marina felt ashamed she could not protect Jessica from such public humiliation.
She had never expected things to get so ugly at Jessica’s wedding.
However, the latter was not in the mood to care what others thought.
Jessica glared at Peter’s back without a word.
Her face was extremely pale; then she spoke.
“I’ve been very restless recently, but I couldn’t figure out why.
“Especially after you proposed to me. I feel like–I’ve been dreaming all this time.
“I know there’s a huge gap between us, but–I agreed to marry you anyway.
“I know I’ll definitely regret it if I don’t give it a try.
“I’ve been waiting for the past few days for an ending.
“Today, I’ve finally seen it,” Jessica said quietly without emotion..
Peter clenched his fists when he heard that.
He had hoped she would curse him aloud.

She could even beat him up if she so desired.
However, with Jessica’s declaration, he felt they could no longer go forward as a couple.
Peter moved his lips as if he wanted to say something.
However, he was at a loss for where to start and could not utter a word.
He was clearly in the wrong.
He did not even have the right to defend himself.
“Thank you for giving me a beautiful dream all this time,” Jessica continued.
“I can’t thank you enough. I’ve had a great time with you, Peter.
“Now, it’s time to wake up from this dream.
“But there are some things I have to remind you of
“Privileged individuals like you probably don’t understand the value of human nature.
“You were born with a silver spoon in your mouth and all the wealth that others would spend their entire lives searching for.
“That’s why you always feel you’re superior to others.
“You think money can buy everything.”
“I didn’t!” Peter denied it aloud.
He turned around and looked at Jessica standing before him; he felt his eyes aching terribly.
Jessica no longer had the usual gentle smile on her face.
All that was left was indifference and desolation.
“You didn’t? What about those videos just now?” Jessica squeezed a smile.
Peter’s face turned even paler.
“Perhaps you didn’t realize it at all. You may think that you are not high and mighty.
“But you don’t have to insult or bully others to understand the difference.
“I can tell from your words and actions.
“You think it’s a joke to trample on others‘ feelings and that it’s entertainment at others‘ expense.
“Do you still think you don’t look down on others?”
Peter opened his mouth but could not utter the supposed explanation on the tip of his tongue.
“Mr. Moore, there are many things in this world that money and power can’t buy,” said Jessica.
“Such as feelings!
“They are strong enough to move mountains and break open rocks.
“Yet they will dissipate when the wind blows when weak.
“But when you want to piece it together again, you won’t be able to make up for it.
* “Jessica.” Peter panicked.
He stepped forward to grab her.
However, she took a step back immediately and avoided him.
Peter’s hand stopped in mid–air.
Jessica avoided his touch.
She even called him Mr. Moore.
Chapter 349
She had never called him that, even when they first met, it sounded so distant and cold.
Peter was so flustered he could not settle his mind.
“Mr. Moore, we have to return to our individual lives after waking up from the dream,” Jessica said calmly
“Let’s part ways here. Don’t play with others‘ feelings like this in the future.
