Chapter 475
The guests responded with polite applause, while Raymond’s gaze remained fixed on Cordelia, noting the graceful way she held herself despite the veil. Every small movement of hers seemed magnified in his attention, the elegant lines of her dress, the delicate arch of her shoulders—it all made him shift slightly on the stage, feeling the weight of the moment.The Winslow family stepped forward with poised smiles. Marshall offered a firm handshake to Jacob Hansen, exchanging polite greetings full of practiced respect. Stella stood and smiled warmly, while Shulamite observed Cordelia with curiosity and a subtle grin. Rose gently guided Cordelia to her seat, taking the space right beside her as Marshall and his wife sat with composed pride.The host returned to the center of the stage, adjusting the microphone with a cheerful tone.“Before we invite the pastor to join us and begin the solemnization,” he announced, “we would like to welcome anyone who has brought gifts for the happy couple
Chapter 474: Wedding Day II
Cordelia smiled faintly and whispered, “Thank you,” to Rose. Rose beamed, hugging her gently before stepping aside — just as the door opened again. Marshall Winslow entered, dressed in a sharp black suit and an expensive watch glittering on his wrist. His presence immediately shifted the atmosphere — heavy, controlled. The makeup artists and assistants instantly bowed their heads and hurried out when he gestured, leaving only father and daughter in the room. He looked Cordelia up and down with a strange smirk that made her skin crawl. “Well… look at you,” he said slowly. “The Hansen family is truly getting… a desirable woman.” His tone was wrong, too personal — admiration tainted with something possessive and unsettling. Cordelia stared blindly at her reflection, refusing to give him the reaction he wanted. Marshall’s smirk vanished. He cleared his throat and spoke with firm authority: “Today is important. Do not embarrass this family. When you arrive there, you will smile. You

Chapter 472: Austin and Matthew Meets Suzy
The next day, Austin and Matthew dressed up nicely in suits and each got into their individual cars before driving to NexaSky.An hour later, they were allowed into the building and led to meet the CEO, Suzy Williams. Their former colleagues stared at them in disbelief as they passed — shocked the two even dared to return.Inside Suzy’s office, she sat behind her desk, dressed formally and wearing a shade, which she slowly removed as soon as she saw them. Her expression was cold.Austin greeted her respectfully, and Matthew followed.“You left seven months ago, abandoning your positions… and now you’re back?” she asked sharply.Austin and Matthew swallowed and exchanged a glance.“We’re sorry, boss,” Austin said. “Something happened which delayed us for so long… but now we’re back.”Suzy let out a short mocking clap. “So I should applaud you? Because clearly you’re the ones who run this company, right?” she snapped. “You think I’ll be kind enough to give you back your jobs after you l

The guard’s face instantly paled.“You know what he’ll do to you?” she continued, leaning closer. “He’ll have you beaten, dragged out, and fired on the spot. Me? He’ll just yell a little — maybe scold me. But you? You’ll lose everything. Should I go tell him?”The guard gulped hard, his throat tightening in fear. “No, ma’am… please, no need for that.” He stepped aside quickly, opening the door for her.“That’s better,” Rose said softly, brushing past him and stepping inside.Inside, Cordelia was lying quietly on the bed, her face turned toward the small window. When she heard the door open, she sat up suddenly.“Rose?” she said, surprised.Rose gave her a small smile and walked closer, setting the tray down. “Hi, sis. I brought your food again.”Cordelia blinked, still processing her presence. “Why did you come back here again?” she asked gently.Rose sat beside her and sighed. “I went to see Raymond,” she said. “I tried to talk to him, to convince him to stop this marriage, but he wo
