But she didn’t know what was happening at the scene.
Everything proceeded in an orderly manner. It must have failed, Callie thought.
The camera switched, showing many familiar faces in the audience. The director was skilled, capturing significant figures in every shot. Even Jamir was there, looking indifferent and fiddling with something.
She instinctively wanted to get up. If she disappeared, would he notice?
At that moment, she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.
It was brief but clear-
Joaquin!
He was moving through a corner, very low-key.
The camera cut quickly, but Callie recognized him. He… he arrived safely. What about Karlee?
Seeing this, she clenched her fingers, her pulse racing. Was there still a chance?
Before her hope could ignite, she saw Anthony following behind Joaquin…
How could this be? Did Nelson discover Joaquin?
How much did he know… Callie slowly calmed down again.
At the scene.
As Charlotte, dressed in her wedding gown, walked towards Nelson, a voice came through his earpiece: “We’ve brought Joaquin in, along with Karlee. They’re backstage now.”
Nelson remained composed, taking Charlotte’s hand and leading her to the center.
“But… what Karlee brought is significant. It could… it could ruin this wedding, Mr. Oconnor. Should we wait until it’s over…”
Sienna did not give a parental speech but let the young people speak for themselves.
Charlotte took the microphone from the host and spoke of her admiration for this man and the hardships over the years.
Nelson raised his hand to cover his lips and whispered, “Let Joaquin do whatever he needs to do.”
He didn’t even ask what it was!
Anthony was shocked. “But! This could jeopardize Oconnor Group…”
Nelson only said, “Let him do it.”
Calm and forceful.
As if he were merely discussing what to eat later, everything here seemed unrelated to him.
Charlotte finished her speech, tearfully looking at the man beside her. Following the melodious background music, she said, “Nelson, today we can finally hold each other’s hands, feel everyone’s blessings, and step into the hall of marriage. From today on, as your lover, I will take on the duties of a wife, supporting each other through poverty and wealth, good times and bad, never letting go of your hand until death.”
As she spoke, she seemed to see her future smooth sailing, tears uncontrollably falling.
Nelson smiled back at her.
Many in the audience raised their phones to take pictures.
The media live stream viewers went wild: Wow! So romantic!
Oh my god, Maevelyn looks like she’s so in love!
Nelson is so handsome too! This is a dream wedding!
…
In the abandoned factory, Callie watched this scene, memories of her past with Nelson flashing through her mind.
In this world, nothing lasts forever.
Ahmad showed a gratified smile, tears welling up. There was nothing happier than watching his daughter get married.
After reciting their vows, the host asked them to exchange rings.
Nelson took the diamond ring from the attendant and lowered his head to put it on Charlotte’s finger. She whispered, “Nelson, let’s get our marriage certificate right after the wedding, okay?”
Nelson didn’t answer but tightened his grip on her hand and smiled at her.
This action made Charlotte think he agreed.
In this world, no man is unattainable. With enough time together, he will develop feelings for her.
At this moment, Charlotte was still very confident.
