Chapter 480: Mrs. Westbrook
The crowd stared in stunned silence for a moment… but Benjamin’s confident demand rang like a command.Clap for your new king and queen.One by one, hesitant palms began to come together. Polite claps turned to steady applause… then into a thunderous ovation. Even those who despised him clapped — because fear gripped their souls tighter than pride ever could.Benjamin’s satisfied smile widened as he turned his gaze to the bodies on the floor.“By the way, Jacob,” he said casually, as if discussing weather, “don’t worry — I didn’t kill your men. The only one I killed was the one who idiotically made a move at me.” He pointed with his fork. “The rest? Shot with bullets filled with tranquilizer. Strong stuff. They’ll sleep for about fifteen hours.”He gave a light shrug. “So relax.”Jacob clenched his fists, veins bulging, fury boiling in his eyes — yet he couldn’t utter a word.Benjamin cleared his throat and raised his voice cheerfully.“So now… please, can the food and drinks be share
Chapter 479: Mrs. Westbrook
Benjamin then smiled faintly, his thumb brushing Cordelia’s cheek. “How about you and I get married right here, today?” he asked softly, yet loud enough for everyone to hear. “And later… we’ll hold our main wedding properly. Do you love that idea?”Cordelia stared at him with wide eyes, disbelief and hope swirling through her heart. “Really?” she breathed out, her voice trembling slightly.Benjamin nodded confidently. “Yes. Of course.”Cordelia swallowed hard, then nodded with a small smile and whispered, “I’ll marry you then.”A collective gasp swept through the guests.Benjamin turned toward the pastor. “You’ll officiate us. Now,” he said calmly. Then he looked around. “Where are the rings?”Someone pointed toward the table where Raymond and Cordelia’s wedding rings had been placed earlier.Raymond suddenly stormed down from the stage, fury boiling in his blood. “If you want to marry her,” he snapped, “why don't you go set up your own place? Are you too poor to afford a wedding for
Chapter 478: Marshall’s Tape
Benjamin nodded, eyes softening as he cupped her cheeks gently. “It’s me, my love. It’s me, Madam Cordelia…” he whispered. “Your Elysian student.” That was all it took. Cordelia’s emotions burst like a storm. Tears poured down her cheeks as her fists began striking his chest and arms. “Where did you go?!” she cried. “Why did you leave me alone?! Did you go to another woman?! You don’t love me anymore!” Her hits were weak — fueled by pain, not anger. Benjamin didn’t flinch. He wrapped her in a deeper, firmer embrace, holding her as if he feared losing her again. He lifted her face delicately, brushing tears with his thumb. Then he pulled her into a deep, passionate kiss — one that silenced her sobs and shook her entire body with longing. He broke the kiss only to speak close to her lips: “I didn’t go to see any woman. I had one mission… and now I’m back. Forever — only with you.” He hugged her tight again, shielding her from every eye around them. But Marshall stood
Chapter 477: Benjamin’s Return
Her legs weakened, memories flashing behind her eyes — laughter they shared, promises whispered, the day he vanished from her world. And now here he was… Looking at her like she was the only person alive. Her heartbeat whispered the truth she had been trying to bury: The man standing before her… was the man she truly loved. Benjamin also stopped walking for a moment… because the sight of Cordelia almost took his breath away. Cordelia stood on that stage with a grace that felt almost unreal — her figure more refined, elegant curves accentuated by the wedding gown in a way that made his chest tighten. Her waist looked slimmer, her posture confident and womanly. The dress hugged her body perfectly, showing how she had matured into a stunning, breathtaking woman. Her hair fell beautifully around her shoulders, her skin seemed to glow under the lights, and the light blush on her cheeks made her look even more divine. Even with the veil removed, there was still something dreamlike ab
Chapter 476: The Vows
Marshall’s wife also nodded happily, and Marshall himself stood tall with pride. Two bridesmaids approached Cordelia, helping her rise gracefully. Her veil still covered her face as Rose followed.Cordelia took in a deep breath as she approached the stage, each step feeling heavier than the last. Her heart pounded in her chest, but she kept her posture calm and graceful. When she reached the steps, she gently lifted her dress and climbed up, standing beside Raymond.The pastor looked at Raymond first and asked softly,“Are you ready, young man?”Raymond nodded quickly, a nervous smile on his face.“Then please unveil the bride.”Raymond’s hands trembled slightly as he reached for the veil. He lifted it slowly—revealing Cordelia’s face.Gasps spread through the crowd. Her makeup was light, yet she looked breathtaking—like she was glowing. Raymond’s mouth opened a little in awe.She’s… incredible… he thought.Cordelia kept her eyes lowered to the ground, shy and quiet. A wave of applaus
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
