The wedding was prepared by the best wedding planner in Rivera. Stella walked through the venue and noticed it was decorated with real flowers. The door gifts were even made of expensive preserved flowers.
Although not all the guests there were genuinely happy for the couple, the luxurious setup could not help but evoke envy among some of them.
“Albert is really generous. This wedding has got to cost at least seven figures, right?”
“Probably more than that. I heard that Hylda’s wedding ring alone is nearly a million.”
“How could a mistress act so audaciously? Has she no shame?”
“Sigh. Money is the only thing people care about nowadays. Shame is nothing for people who don’t care about their reputation.”
“Poor Rainee. She worked so hard her whole life. In the end, everything went to someone else.”
“Rainee had an affair too. There’s really no right or wrong in this relationship.”
“Are you sure? Although Rainee could be assertive, she treated Albert with all her heart. When Albert was just starting his business, she went to beg for her grandparents’
help despite being pregnant. I don’t think she’d have an affair after doing so many things for Albert. Instead, it’s more likely that Albert intentionally set her up to justify what he did.”
“I think so too. I heard they didn’t even have a proper wedding ceremony when Rainee married Albert because he was too broke. However, Rainee’s family was kind of rich. Her father didn’t approve of their
relationship, so they never had a wedding ceremony. Rainee used to talk about having a replacement wedding ceremony, but now that Albert finally did it, he did it for another woman. What a shame.”
“But the paternity test showed that Stella and Albert are not biologically related.”
“It could be fake.”
“That’s enough. Someone’s coming.”
Stella listened to their conversation quietly from afar before she suddenly turned to Keegan and said, “You can tell how much a man values his partner by the way he handles a wedding. My mom was too naive.”
Keegan kept quiet. He felt like she was indirectly criticizing him. He cleared his throat and said lowly, “We’ll do it however you want when we remarry.”
His words took Stella aback as she had no plan of doing that at all.
As the wedding march sounded, Hylda slowly entered the venue with Ian’s support. Hylda was only in her forties but looked about ten years younger with the makeup on.
Her foxy eyes and high cheekbones exuded a piercing aura. After years of living comfortably without having to worry about anything, she was no longer the same timid person when she once was when Rainee financially supported her. Her elegant movements seemed to tell everyone she was destined for a life like this.
Stella closed her eyes, and her mind was filled with images of Rainee lying in a pool of blood and how haggard she looked on the sick bed.
‘I know that this world is never fair, but that doesn’t mean that a low life like her can live without facing the consequences of what she did.’ Stella thought to herself.
Ian placed Hylda’s hand in Albert’s palm. Then, Albert held her hand and walked up the steps.
Under the witness of the marriage officiant, the couple exchanged vows of eternal love before taking the microphone over to thank the guests for coming.
Stella lifted her glass and took a sip as she gazed at Hylda through the crowd from a distance.
The smile on Hylda’s face immediately froze when she saw Stella. She widened her gaze in fear as she stared at Stella.
‘A dark green dress, curly hair, and bold lipstick… This… this is…’
“Move aside! Let me through!”
Suddenly, an argument erupted not far away amidst the joyous occasion, causing everyone to shift their attention to the source of the commotion.
