Chapter 64 Youâre All Liars!
After delivering the demand, Roland immediately left Selenaâs side and returned to his seat. Pierre was seated not far away from her and stole a glance at her. It happened that she was looking at him too.
Their eyes met, but none of them looked away. Finally, she snorted and retracted her gaze. Outside the room, Juniper flung Joaquinâs hand away. âI donât need you to lead me around!â
He turned around and stared at her with his usual aloof expression. âYou all are liars! You and your dad are nothing but liars!â
She glared fiercely at him.
He had nothing to say because they had indeed lied to Selena and Juniper. Earlier, Pierre had instructed the twins to tell the same story; he even introduced their surname as Moody.
âDo you think Iâll be grateful to you after you saved me today? I wonât!â Then, she left in a fit of rage. At that moment, Linda finally found Juniper. âGosh, little girl, where did you go?â
âLetâs leave, Miss Linda.â Juniper took Lindaâs hand, and before she left, she turned around and gave Joaquin a final look. The young boy merely stood there, not knowing what to do.
In the banquet hall, Linda brought Juniper to Selena. âMommy, I have something to tell you! Do you know that Mr. Handsome has a wife? His wife is the witch I met at the bakery!â
Agitatedly, Juniper blurted out to her mother. At first, Selena was thinking hard about how to explain Pierreâs situation to Juniper.
She was surprised that her daughter had known about it.
âI heard Jojo and Jamie call that woman âMommyâ. Sheâs that woman from the bakery!â Sighing deeply, Selena gently caressed Juniperâs head. âI found out about it as well.â
Juniper cocked her head and stared at Selena with a pout. âMommy, donât be sad. You donât need to be sad for someone like him. Instead, you should live happily, and you will meet better men in the future.â
Selena flashed a faint smile. âYes, there will be a better man whoâll be more suited to be your dad!â
The mother and daughter exchanged comforting smiles. When the wedding march was played in the hall, the wedding officially started.
Following the agenda, the groom, Finneas Lake, went down on one knee in front of the bride with a fresh bouquet in his arms, just like any other groom.
All the guests were admiring the courage of the newlywed. Not long ago, the bride had been spewing nonsense, which caused her to be slapped by the groom. However, in the blink of an eye, everything went back to normal as if the drama before had never happened.
Joaquin and Jameson served as the flower boys at the wedding. Originally, Juniper should have been a flower girl, but she refused to do so. Left without choice, they arranged for two flower boys to join the proceedings.
The wedding went on smoothly according to the plan up until the wedding toast segment by the coupleâs families.
Roland, Jezebelle, and Finneasâs parents all delivered their toasts on stage. The movie star who was awarded best actress, Meredith, became the highlight when she gave her speech, and the two sisters hugged each other emotionally on stage.
âGreat. We also have Miss Selena Yard with us. Sheâs the president of the JNS Corporation. Do you wish to make a congratulatory toast to your sister?â The wedding host learned about Selenaâs title right before the wedding and had to bring it up.
Hearing that, Megan scrunched up her face into an awful expression.
After Selena was cued, she went up to the stage and took the microphone.
Megan and Finneas were standing slightly behind to make room for the speech givers at the front.
When Finneas saw Selena walking up the stage, he breathed heavily. If sheâs willing to come up to the stage out of courtesy, it means that I still have a chance!
She took the microphone and smiled before saying, âItâs my honor and my pleasure to attend this wedding. The wedding...â
