Chapter 347: Are You So Unwilling To Marry Me?
Yvonne saw James and almost subconsciously wanted to escape, but was stopped by him.
James said breathlessly, "Yvonne, where did you go? I finally found you."
Yvonne did not want to argue with him. She wanted to break free from his hand, but she could not. She said anxiously, "James, I don’t have time to explain anything to you. Let go of me first."
James held her arm tightly and refused to let go no matter how hard she struggled.
His eyes fell on the suitcase in her hand, and his pupils contracted.
"I won’t let go. Our wedding is about to start." "Who wants to marry you?" She kicked him in a hurry. However, James refused to let go.
"Yvonne, I know I’m making things difficult for you, but marrying me is still better than marrying that scumbag. You might not feel it now, but you’ll understand later."
Yvonne was confused. However, she was not in the mood to understand anything.
She said anxiously, "I don’t know what you’re talking about. Let me go. I have something urgent to do."
However, no matter what she said, he did not move. In the end, she said with red-rimmed eyes, "Please, James, I beg you."
She had a pleading look on her face.
His heart skipped a beat when his eyes fell on her red and swollen eyes.
"Are you so unwilling to marry me?"
"Now is not the time to talk about this. I really have something to do."
She was so focused on breaking free that she did not notice the change in his expression.
At that very moment...
"Yvonne, I finally found you."
Stanley stopped in front of them, panting.
When he heard that today was Yvonne and James’s wedding, he immediately rushed over.
Originally, he had wanted to find Yvonne and ask her about it, but after looking around the hotel, he could not find any trace of her.
He didn’t expect to meet her here.
"Yvonne, you... Didn’t you say you would marry me? Why did you suddenly change your mind? Did he threaten you?"
James already gave her a headache. She was in no mood to care about Stanley.
Yvonne didn’t want to waste her time like this, then she simply turned to James and said, "I’m not lying to you. I really have an urgent matter to do. Please give me ten minutes. I promise you that I will come back and give you an explanation in ten minutes. I beg you."
James couldn’t bear to see her pleading look. Thinking of this, he closed his eyes and said, "OK, I believe you."
With that, he slowly let go of her hand.
Yvonne thanked him gratefully and ran away in a hurry with her suitcase.
"You haven’t answered my question yet, Yvonne."
Seeing this, Stanley wanted to catch up, but was stopped by James.
"It seems that you do not take my words to heart at all."
With a grim face, James stretched the muscles and bones in his arms and approached him.
Stanley guiltily said, "Don’t... don’t come over..."
In the dressing room...
Seeing that the wedding was approaching and there was still no news of Yvonne, Grace was like an ant on a hot pan.
According to her agreement with James, if she still could not find Yvonne, she would not be able to get the rest of the money.
...
Thinking that the sure thing was messed up, Grace was very unwilling to give up.
Just then, the door was kicked open from the outside.
Hearing the noise, Grace glared at the person who had kicked the door. When she saw Yvonne standing at the door, she was slightly stunned.
"You still come back." Grace came to her senses.
Yvonne ignored the words and angrily stopped in front of her with the suitcase in her hand. She raised the photo in her hand and questioned, "Grace White, please answer me, did you ask people to take these photos?"
Only then did Grace sweep the gaze over her hand. However, when she saw the photo, she admitted without hesitation, "That’s right, I did."
Yvonne had not expected her to admit to it so easily. She continued, "Why did you do that?"
Grace felt funny. "Back then, it was your mother who was shameless and cheated on my brother. Shouldn’t I do it?"
Her tone and her extremely contemptuous expression were the insults to her mother. Yvonne’s eyes were red with anger.
"You’re lying! My mother is not that kind of person."
Grace snorted, "Really? You can see the photos. They can’t be faked."
"You..." Yvonne resisted the urge to rush forward and said, "Well, since you keep saying that my mother cheated on my father. But what’s going on between you and my father."
Grace was stunned. She looked at her incredulously, "What nonsense are you spouting?"
Yvonne gritted her teeth and said, "You know very well in your heart whether I’m talking nonsense or not. Grace, do you think I don’t know what you have done? You love my dad, right?"
"You..."
There was a look of panic on Grace’s face. However, she quickly covered it up.
"Yes, I love your father. So what?"
Although she had already known that this was the truth, Yvonne was still shocked when she heard her personally admit it.
When I was reading the diary before, I was not that sure, and I didn’t expect it to be true.>
Only then did she remember that when she was a child, she always saw Grace following behind her father.
At that time, she was too young to understand these things and only thought that they had a good relationship.
She didn’t expect it to be like this.
Yvonne suddenly understood.
"That’s why you’ve been bullying my mother the entire time. You want to replace her, right?"
Grace roared, "You shut up!"
"Grace, you are a complete bitch."
The next second, a slap landed heavily on Yvonne’s face.
Grace said fiercely, "Shut up. You don’t deserve to evaluate me. Yvonne, remember, there is no one in the world who loves my brother more than I do. Your mother is just an accident. Do you know what an accident is? She has never been within my brother’s plan."
Yvonne covered her burning cheeks and stared at her with hatred.
She would not believe her words.
Previously, I didn’t understand why Grace had been targeting me.
Now I understand!>
...
Yvonne continued to think, "It turns out to be because of my mother."
Thinking of this, she was even more certain that her mother’s death was related to Grace.
She then deduced, "You killed my mother, didn’t you?"
But Grace just glanced at her coldly.
"As everyone knows, your mother died of depression by jumping off a building. You can’t blame me."
"But do you dare to say that before she chose to jump off the building, you didn’t irritate her?"
Grace just snorted, "Even if I did, so what? It was she who wasn’t strong enough and chose to die. Who can you blame?"
Her words were like a heavy punch to Yvonne’s body.
Yvonne angrily clenched her fists tightly. "Grace, one day, I will make you pay for what you have done."
Grace glanced at her contemptuously.
"Do as you please. However, you must walk through this wedding ceremony properly today."
Then Grace didn’t give her any chance to object, and shouted, "Come and help her put on her makeup and change her clothes."
At this time, the wedding auditorium was full of people.
All the guests were waiting for the wedding.
On the stage, James stood straight and looked in the direction of the door.
However, as time ticked by and auspicious hour approached, the door still didn’t open.
The guests gradually began to talk about it.
"What’s going on? It’s been so long, but the bride hasn’t come yet."
"Could something have happened?"
"What will happen on this day? How ominous."
The discussion of the guests surrounded James, but he turned a deaf ear to it.
Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, the emcee couldn’t help stepping forward and asking, "Mr. Taylor, the auspicious hour of our wedding is coming soon. Do you think..."
James’s eyes darkened. "Would she come?" James asked himself.
In fact, he was not sure.
But at this moment, he was still willing to believe her.
He said, "Wait a little longer."
Hearing his words, the emcee continued warming up the audience.
At this time, Janice and Christopher just came and sat below the stage.
Both felt that something was wrong.
"Honey, did something happen?"
Christopher said, "I don’t know."
Janice couldn’t sit still. She only had one best friend, and she didn’t want anything bad happen on this grand occasion.
"I’m going to the backstage to see Yvonne. Previously, you said that the wedding was about to begin, so I didn’t go."
Just as Janice was about to get up, Christopher stopped her. "There are so many people here. You are heavily pregnant and it’s not convenient for you. How about this? I’ll find someone to see what’s going on."
Upon hearing him say this, Janice sat back down.
However, she was still worried. After all, the wedding had been held in such a hurry that she had not heard Yvonne mention it before.
Besides, she hadn’t been informed the wedding until an hour ago.
Thus she and Christopher rushed over in a hurry and had no time to ask about it.
Soon, Rob who had been sent out to inquire about the situation, returned.
"Mr. Bateman, I heard it’s because the bride is missing."
