Chapter 6
The photo showed Charles and me standing on the beach, holding each other. He was kissing my cheek, his eyes full of love and attachment.
As a man, Benjamin saw clearly how Charles felt about me. Both Charles and I had grown up together. Because of this, Benjamin felt a deep dislike for him. Benjamin had worked hard to prove he was better. He even built a company for that.”
Still, Benjamin felt defeated everywhere. He believed he would always be overshadowed by Charles.
At the time, I had hugged Benjamin and told him, “No matter what Charles is like, you are the best boyfriend in my heart.”}
“I will only love you.”
At that moment, Benjamin’s value felt real to him. His anxiety left his body. But now, after a small disagreement, I had changed my groom to his greatest enemy?”
Benjamin’s eyes suddenly filled with tears. He felt like he would lose his mind.”
He shouted at the security guard, voice filled with desperation.
“I booked this entire hotel today!“}
“Open your eyes and look properly! I am tonight’s groom!”
“Where is Amelia? Where is she? I must see her!“}
The guard didn’t even look at him.”
He scratched his neck and replied casually, “Mr. Renaldi, the hotel already refunded your booking. The payment hasn’t gone through yet.“} “Everyone in the city knows Miss Williams will marry Mr. Woods today. Who do you think you are? I’ve seen many men who were left at the altar, but you are the first shameless one.”}
“Leave now, or I’ll have the guards carry you away. Mr. Woods said that if you dare show up, we must push you away.”
Benjamin’s whole body trembled with anger. The veins in his forehead stood out. Ignoring the guard’s warning, he rushed into the hotel. As he stepped onto the stairs, someone shoved him and he was kicked down.§
Immediately, he rolled down the steps in a terrible heap.
Laughter from wedding guests echoed around him.
“Goodness! Isn’t that Mr. Renaldi? Are you here to attend Miss Williams’s wedding party? Do you really get an invitation?”
“Hahaha, haven’t you heard? Miss Williams dumped Mr. Renaldi. I heard he even had twins with someone else. Who’s backing him now?” Benjamin could only lay at the bottom of the stairs, hurt and humiliated.
“Why are you pretending to be loyal when you’ve already cheated on her? That’s enough. All the guests here today are well–known people. Mr. Renaldi, you should go back and accompany your little lover. Don’t upset the Williams and Woods families, or you’ll have problems in London in the future.”
Every word of the cruel laughter felt like a slap across his face. Benjamin’s pride was crushed. He couldn’t understand how everyone had learned about his affair with Michelle. He had clearly tried to block all the news.
As long as the wedding happened, the two children would be registered under my name.
But now, everything had fallen apart.
He ran toward those people with red eyes, grabbed one man’s collar and shouted, “What did you just say? Who told you that?!“}]
