The wedding veil fell to reveal the fair and round shoulder of the bride. She had a curvy figure wearing a wedding gown full of diamonds.
The wedding gown had so many layers, and the hemline was as wide as a blooming white flower with white petals.
The wedding guests all gasped and felt how unusual the bride was. She kept throwing them surprises after surprises.
But the wedding gown...
Someone with a sharper eye suddenly screamed, pointing at the wedding gown," It's the same wedding dress that Tina wore when she died."
"What? Really? Oh my god, this bride is wearing the wedding dress that someone died in!"
"This is such disrespect for the president!"
Avery squinted. The woman grabbed Avery's wedding veil while holding her child with another hand. She gloated.
The wedding dress was worn by a dead woman?
Avery had to hold back the urge to vomit. She didn't know who did it. But the place was full of hostile people.
Everyone was pointing at her like they were watching a circus show.
The wedding dress was sent by Mr. Black. Did he know this and let her wear it?
What did he mean?
What did this mean?
Avery clenched the hemline as hard as she could. She could break the gauze into pieces.
Out of habit, Avery was eager to find Evan. But instead of care and anger, Evan's look was indifferent.
He would have charged over, held her in his arms, and told everybody to shut up in the past.
But he sat among the wedding viewers and couldn't care less about what had happened.
Avery gave Tinder who stood next to Evan an incredible look. He, out of guilt, looked down, and avoided eye contact.
In a fit of anger, Avery took back the gauze from the woman," Who orders you to do this!"
The woman was shocked. She turned around to run but hit someone who stood there to stop her.
She was about to swear when she looked up and saw it was the president. She looked down with scared," Mr. President."
Mr. Black ordered without dispute, "Apologize to Avery."
"I apologize."
The woman shivered to say it fast and ran away.
Mr. Black didn't ask his men to bring the woman back because he was in public. He just frowned at the wedding dress Avery wore. His look was as bad as it could get.
"Why do you have to wear it?"
"I thought you gave me this."
So the wedding dress was swapped without Mr. Black's knowledge?
"I hope you're telling the truth, or no one could save your daughter."
"Are you threatening me?"
Avery wasn't afraid of Mr. Black. After the series of events, she couldn't get more agitated. And she was troubled because of the way Evan treated her. She didn't want to deal with Mr. Black.
Mr. Black said, "Take Avery to get changed."
Avery held back her temper and didn't say anything. She didn't want to wear the dress, knowing a dead woman wore it. So she followed the maid to the changing room.
Mr. Black ordered no one should spread or talk about it anymore.
The maid brought Avery the spare wedding dress in no time after they had come to the changing room. It had a simpler style. It wrapped her body tightly, and she looked slimmer.
"Who's Tina?"
Avery asked the maid.
The maid hurried to answer, "I have no clue," she was so frightened. It was like she would invite fatal troubles for talking about it.
There was a gentle and nice voice at the door suddenly, "If you want to know who Tina is, you can ask me."
Avery looked back. The woman in the blue dress came closer," Tina used to have a touching and unforgettable romance with Mr. Black. She died in an accident a while back. And she was buried in the same wedding dress you wore."
Avery looked at her, coldly, "You know it so well?" She was curious about why Diana came to the ancient country. She didn't believe Diana came to her wedding.
"Mr. Black and Tina��s story is well-known to every household in the ancient country. You're about to marry him. How can you not know about his past? That doesn't seem right."
"Do you know it, so you can marry someone in the ancient country?"
The closer Diana was to Avery, the more she could smell George's perfume.
"Of course not," Diana smiled," Because of the ancient country, I get to have love. So I can't help loving it."
Avery sneered, "You... and George Lautner?"
"George Lautner?"Diana smiled and whispered by her ear, "Instead of that, you should call him Evan..."
"You..."
Avery was slightly surprised. But it made sense to her soon. Even Mr. Black knew George was Evan. Why shouldn't Diana know it too?
But what did she mean? What happened between her and Evan?
Diana seemed to read her mind, and answered bluntly, "I'm afraid Evan had no feelings for you anymore. He's falling head over heels for me."
"I don't believe your lunatic tales. You should be caged in a facility with mental issues since you're into fantasizing."
"You'll find out soon if I am lying or not. I hope you don't try to come between Evan and me. You have to remember you are a married woman. Happy wedding."
Avery felt Diana's smile got harsher and harsher. She wanted to reap her smiling face apart.
"What do you mean? What happened to him? There's no way he'll fall in love with you!"
Diana gave Avery a sympathetic pat on her shoulder, "Let's wait and see."
"Sir, you can't come in. The bride is getting changed. It isn't time to welcome a gentleman friend."
The bodyguard stopped Evan, and he said, "My girlfriend is inside. I don't need your permission to go inside to see her."
Avery recognized Evan's voice at once. And she heard the bodyguard's screaming when Evan punched him.
Avery was very nervous and said, "Let him come in."
She heard Evan said he would come in to see his girlfriend.
Her heart was so soft, hearing the word"girlfriend."
Soon, there was a tall figure by the door. Evan came in.
Avery couldn't tell his look since the light was behind him. He came right to Diana and asked eagerly, "Are you okay?"
Diana gave Avery a gloating look and shook her head, "I'm okay. Let's go. I don't want to disturb Your Highness when she gets changed and reapplies make-up."
"Okay."
Then Evan held Diana's shoulder to take her out.
"Wait," Avery suddenly said, "Can I have a word with Mr. Lautner in private?"
Diana looked at Avery with an alert, "What do you want to say?"
"Diana, if you're so sure about your relationship, why are you afraid of what I'm gonna say?"
To Avery's surprise, Diana didn't resist the idea. She whispered something to Evan and left the room.
It got quieter in the changing room after Diana left.
Avery held the long hemline and stared at Evan, who stood straight. She hesitated for a while to weigh what she was gonna say. Finally, she said slowly...
