A Bride for the Cripple Chapter 9
The next day, headlines across the city were dominated by the scandals of the Cale and Luthor families.Cale Group's stock opened at its daily limit down. Under aggressive pressure from Astor Group, nearly a hundred billion in market value evaporated in just three days, pushing the company to the brink of collapse.The Luthor family fared even worse. Under Cale's retaliatory attacks, the family business fell apart overnight.Mr. and Mrs. Luthor were buried under massive debt and forced to move out of their villa into a crumbling old apartment building. But they didn't take Veronica with them.Veronica was thrown out of the family home. She went looking for Lex, only to be humiliated by him. During a violent fight, she miscarried—and ultimately lost her mind.Mr. and Mrs. Luthor came all the way to the gates of the Astor estate to find me, crying until their voices gave out."Catherine! Please come out and see us! We were wrong! We know we were wrong!""Catherine, please—if only

"Of course it's Lex's baby! Who did you pay to Photoshop these pictures? Catherine, you bitch! You're faking this just to destroy me!" Veronica pointed at me and shrieked."Faking?" I calmly pulled out a DNA report. "The report shows that the child you're carrying has no biological relation to Lex whatsoever."The entire banquet hall erupted."Veronica! You evil snake!" Lex grabbed her by the throat, his voice hoarse with rage. "You not only lied to me and used me—you even cheated on me! Whose bastard are you carrying?!""Cough… let go… let me go…" Veronica struggled, her face turning purple as she fought for air."Veronica, I must have been blind to ever get mixed up with you. From today on, the Cale family and you are enemies. I will make you pay for everything you've done."With that, he turned and dropped to his knees in front of me. "Catherine, I'm sorry. I was wrong—I know I was wrong! The person I've always loved is you. It's always been you."It was that bitch Veronica w

Three hours later, the Astor and Cale families each sent cars to take Veronica and me to the wedding venue.Suddenly, Veronica stepped onto the stage with a bright smile and addressed me."Catherine, today we're both getting married at the same time. As your sister, I'm truly happy for you."But I also have a few words of advice. I know you like to have a good time, but marriage is different."I hope that after you marry into the Astor family, you'll behave yourself, honor your duties as a wife, and not do anything that would embarrass Charles or bring shame to either one of our families."The crowd burst into knowing laughter. Everyone looked at me as if I were some kind of spectacle.I took the microphone and replied calmly."Thank you for the well wishes, Veronica. As they say, 'one good turn deserves another.' Since you've given me a gift, it's only right that I give you one in return—along with my dear ex-fiancé, Lex."I pressed the remote.The giant screen behind me lit

Charles gestured for James to place the gift box on the coffee table.Inside was a wedding dress encrusted with countless shimmering diamonds. It sparkled with dazzling light, so beautiful it was almost suffocating."Yesterday, I took Catherine to meet the designer for her custom gown," he said calmly. "We spent quite a while selecting fabrics and taking measurements. By the time we finished, it was already late, and the mountain roads were unsafe. So I had her stay at my place."He handed the wedding dress to me, his gaze indulgent."Catherine, if you need anything, call me anytime. With me, you'll always come first."Three days from now, I'll personally come to pick up my bride."With that, he turned and left.The moment he was gone, Veronica broke into tearful pleading."Catherine! This dress is so beautiful—I really love it! Can we switch?"The one I have was also custom-made by Lex. It's beautiful too. I'll give mine to you, okay? Please, I really like yours."Lex frowne

"The fact that they made you marry me in Veronica's place only worked in my favor," Charles said. "Catherine, don't be afraid. Marry me, and from now on, I'll protect you. I'll never let anyone bully you again."That night, I stayed at his estate.The next day, he drove me back to the Luthor family home.The moment I stepped through the door, Lex pointed at me and demanded, "Catherine! So you actually know how to come back? Where the hell were you last night? You're a young woman, and you have no shame whatsoever—staying out all night like that!"I looked at him coldly."And what business is that of yours? Lex, don't you think you're overstepping?"My mother frowned, her voice full of reproach."Catherine, why are you getting more and more out of control? Is that any way to talk to Lex?"Do you even care about this family anymore? Yesterday, you cut up your sister's wedding dress, and neither she nor I said much about it. Yet you're the one who disappeared afterward!"You didn

A man in a wheelchair appeared at the entrance of the alley, pushed forward by a bodyguard dressed in black."Who the hell are you?" the thug snarled. "Mind your own damn business!"The bodyguard, James Leiter, stepped forward, his voice flat and cold."My employer gave you an ultimatum. You'd better think carefully before answering.""Who gives a damn about your employer?" another thug shouted. "We've already decided we're having our fun with this girl tonight. Stay out of things that don't concern you."As he spoke, he reached for my ankle.Crack!James snapped the man's wrist in one swift motion.Blood immediately poured from the wound."Annoying," the man in the wheelchair said calmly.Then he turned his gaze to me."Catherine, it's over now. Come here." He took off his suit jacket and draped it around my shoulders. Warmth instantly wrapped around me."What would you like to do with them?" he asked quietly.I clutched the edge of his jacket tightly, my voice shaking.
