99 Bloody Lashes And A Bullet To His Hear novel Chapter 76

He shook his head, still looking worried, “With such a grand wedding, Olivia must have seen it. I wonder how she is

now.”

The others were stunned, but seeing his genuine concern, they were taken aback.

“Wait, Joe, today is your wedding with Sophia, not with your little secretary.”

“Joe, you can’t really have feelings for her, can you? What about Sophia?”

Hearing Sophia’s name, Joe sighed deeply, finally pulling himself together. “I… I love Sophia, of course. Our wedding with Sophia must go on. But I feel a bit guilty for keeping her waiting for seven years. Forget it, I won’t think about it anymore. Once we go back, I’ll make it up to her.”

He turned to head towards the stage, seemingly trying to push aside his thoughts. Yet his hand still clutched his phone tightly, as if waiting for something.

As he passed by the guest seats, he overheard a conversation. “Did you hear? The richest family in London, the Williams family, and the Brown family announced their marriage news just these past few days!”

“Did you see the photo of the bride? She looks so familiar.”

“You don’t know? The Brown family’s daughter studied in Edinburgh. After graduation, she worked at Joe’s company as the secretary to Joe. I’ve seen her before when discussing business. She’s a cute girl.”

London, the Williams family, Edinburgh university, his secretary…

The pieces quickly fell into place, and Joe felt his world spin. He couldn’t believe the news he was hearing.

Trembling, he took out his phone and opened the news article. The top trending topic was about the marriage alliance between the Williams family and the Brown family, and the woman smiling happily beside Charlie was

none other than Olivia.

Joe quickly exited the page and frantically dialed her number. But it was no longer reachable–had he been blocked?

The realization hit him with a sense of disbelief. Texts, messages, every possible way of reaching her had been blocked. Even his friend list was deleted.

Feeling a mixture of panic and anger, he turned toward the rest area, only to hear some voices coming from inside.

Frowning, he thought there might be a thief, but when he overheard the conversation, he recognized Sophia’s voice.

“I asked you to do something, but you failed. How dare you still come to ask me for money?”
