The party was still going on at the Mo mansion. The crowd gathered and everyone enjoyed the beat of the drums. The wedding cars were decorated with bright red roses and dolls hugging each other on the front. Amelia felt quite uncomfortable at the sight of the red roses.
Soon, the main wedding car arrived and it pulled over in front of the Mo mansion. Jasper got off the car. He looked absolutely refreshed and joyous in his beige suit. He was laughing merrily. The word "groom" was written across his chest. Amelia stood behind the crowd and watched the man she had once loved accept congratulations for his marriage.
Amelia was quite a vision in her red coat, with her long curly hair, and made-up face. Needless to say, she stood out amongst the crowd.
As his eyes swept through the crowd, Jasper found Amelia standing in the distance. The smile on his face disappeared at once. He bowed apologetically to the people surrounding him before walking towards Amelia.
"Amelia, thank you for coming." Amelia was lost in her own thoughts, so she was frightened when she suddenly heard this voice.
'Ha ha. This is so funny. He's acting as if he needed me here to get married,' she thought snidely to herself.
Amelia smiled faintly despite the mixed feelings that were stirring up in her heart. She said politely, "I wish you happiness. I hope you have a good marriage."
A sheepish smile appeared on Jasper's face.
"Of course, Amelia, I'm going to have a good marriage with Jasper." Yolanda suddenly appeared in her white wedding dress.
With an embarrassed look on his face, Jasper was worried that Yolanda would make things difficult for Amelia. He hurriedly approached Yolanda and said, "Yolanda, the ceremony's at ten. I thought you wanted to fix your makeup. I'll come with you now."
Yolanda shook off Jasper's hand and warned Amelia with a ferocious look on her face. "Just because you're married to Lucian doesn't mean you can do whatever you want. I'm telling you that I'll come for you once I've found a place in the city with Jasper."
It was no secret that Yolanda was a fierce woman. She wouldn't hesitate to take what Amelia had especially if she knew that it was what Amelia had always wanted. At that time, Amelia thought this was all just a game for Yolanda. While she really didn't care, she just didn't expect Yolanda to fight this hard for her love.
The crowd was buzzing as they pointed and stared at Amelia.
"Yolanda, you're the bride, right? Shouldn't you be focusing on getting married?" Lucian suddenly said. Upon hearing his voice, people turned to look at Lucian instead.
"Oh my God! Isn't that the CEO of the Zhan Group? I didn't expect him to be so young and handsome!"
"They said he married the second daughter of the Mo family and they want to keep things in private. He admitted their relationship to the press, but they still want to be given their privacy. Can you imagine? What a lucky girl his wife is!"
"If I ever married someone as handsome as that, I would just die!"
The gossip continued.
Even if Lucian didn't really say anything, the crowd was going nuts over his mere presence. After this, Jasper's face darkened and Yolanda was visibly furious.
Yolanda had always been a jealous woman. She couldn't stand the idea that on her own wedding day, someone else was getting the attention! They were also focusing on Amelia's husband instead of Jasper!
She couldn't bear this anymore.
"Shut up, all of you!" she turned around and shouted at her bridesmaids.
Everything suddenly quieted down.
Yolanda had always been short-tempered. She often shouted at her servants for being stupid.
The four bridesmaids exchanged glances when Yolanda flared up. After looking at each in obvious discomfort, they said, "Yolanda, this is your wedding day. We want you to have a good time, but we just can't do this—not if you're like that. We just can't be your bridesmaids anymore."
With that, the four of them left hand in hand.
The atmosphere was thick with tension. Yolanda had always been a proud person. She stiffened when her four bridesmaids walked out on her. She threw herself into Jasper's arms and cried, "The wedding's off!"
