On the contrary, Matthew, beside Ashley, was exceptionally nervous.
He never dreamed that there would be a day he would marry Ashley.
Back when Ashley “died“, he even thought of holding a wedding with her “ashes“.
It was only when The Allen Family threatened him with their lives that Matthew finally gave up that idea.
Now his dream had finally come true; he had married the woman he had liked for so many years, and whom he also loved very much, and brought her home.
He would definitely treat her well from now on and never let her down.
As the emcee spoke, Ashley and Matthew were saying what the other was about to say.
It was originally Ashley’s turn to speak first, but she still handed the microphone to the man opposite her.
Matthew had given countless speeches in front of crowds in his life, but not once was he more nervous than this time.
Although
Although he had prepared a draft beforehand, at the very moment he was about to say it, he could only remember one sentence.
“Ash, I love you, until the last moment of my life.”
simple sentence made Ashley’s eyes suddenly redden, and she kept crying.
Frightened, Matthew in front of her quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears, but inexplicably, he saw sorrow in her eyes.
Yes, Ashley just felt very sorrowful.
If not for those things back then, perhaps she really would have become Matthew’s bride, and lived happily ever after with him.
But those things really and truly happened, so much so that every time she thought of them, it hurt so much she couldn’t sleep.
Ashley took a deep breath and took the microphone from Matthew’s hand.
“Matt, I have a surprise I want to give you right now.”
Hearing this, surprise and joy flashed in Matthew’s eyes.
But he didn’t know that he was about to fall deep into hell.
Soon, a staff member went on stage, took the USB drive from Ashley’s hand, and inserted it into the computer.
Then, the blank screen in the middle of the wedding stage began to play a video.
The wicked deeds Matthew had committed against Ashley over those three years were gradually displayed on the screen.
That truly ruthless Matthew, who disregarded human lives, was also gradually exposed in front of everyone.
Everything that followed was like a dream for Ashley.
She saw the guests below the stage first look surprised, then start whispering amongst themselves.
She also saw the reporters first look confused, then frantically press their camera shutters.
Finally, she saw Matthew first look surprised, then turn pale with shock, and finally frantically try to pick up a pile of flowers nearby and throw
them at the screen.
“Turn it off! Quickly turn these off!”
The scene turned into chaos, unfolding before Ashley like a slow–motion film.
This farce finally concluded with Matthew being handcuffed and taken away by the police.
Before leaving, Matthew finally calmed down and calmly looked at the woman in the wedding dress.
“Why?”
Those three short words drained all his strength.

Ashley smiled, smiling so happily for the first time, yet what she said was so cruel.
“Because I hate you. You ruined me, so naturally, I have to ruin you too.”
“Matthew, let’s never meet again in this lifetime.”
She lifted her veil and tossed it gracefully into the air.
In Matthew’s last memory, he only saw Ashley’s back as she walked away freely.
“Ash!”
But Ashley never looked back once.
Outside the wedding venue, Mary handed the ticket to America to Ashley.
“Congratulations, you’re free.”
Ashley took the ticket from her hand and exclaimed: “Yes, I’m finally free.”
From now on, she could only be Ashley.
