"This is utterly shameful and disgusting…"

The wedding that was supposed to be romantic turned out to be a disaster.

Accompanied by everyone's gossip, Sharon raised her head to look at the giant screen. A few pictures that had been enlarged were being displayed.

The main female character in the pictures was her, and the man on the bed with her was not the bridegroom, Howard Zachary!

At that moment, Sharon was stunned. 'What's going on? Why is there such a picture?'

The way the pictures of herself and the man on the bed had been taken made it so that her face at different angles was revealed while only the back and side view of the man could be seen.

She was certain that she did not know who that man was!

Subconsciously, Sharon looked at Howard. Howard stared at her. Additionally, his face darkened as his eyes began to gleam with rage.

"Woman! How dare you betray me!"

Without waiting for her to reply, Howard gave her a tight slap!

Sharon was slapped and ended up falling to the ground. Her cheek immediately turned red and became swollen. She held her face, raised her head, and defended herself, "Howard, it's not what you think. There must be a misunderstanding!"

"Misunderstanding? You dare say you're not the lady in those pictures?" He had lost his cool, and he was roaring exasperatedly.

Sharon's body began to tremble. "I… I have no idea what's going on as well." She looked stupefied. She had never been with another man before except for that night…

Howard grabbed hold of her chin forcefully. "Are you brave enough to swear that you didn’t fool around with another man?"

"I…" before Sharon could finish talking, her bestie, Sally Luke, spoke up, "Shar, you didn’t return for the whole night during Howard’s birthday last night. That night, who were you with?"

Sharon was dumbfounded. She was drunk that night and vaguely recalled being in a hotel with Howard.

She immediately replied, "I spent the night in a hotel with Howard!"

However, Howard chuckled. "That night, I went home early because I was drunk. How is it possible that I spent the night with you at a hotel?"

Sharon was suddenly stunned as the color on her face gradually began to fade.

'If he wasn’t the man I was with that night, who else could it have been?'

She slumped on the ground, and Howard’s words struck her like a thunderbolt.

Howard saw her reaction and said in a way as if he was sure of something, "Good, very good! Not bad, Sharon! I hereby announce that the wedding is canceled!"

"No!" Sharon snapped.

"I didn't betray you, Howard. Someone framed me. You must believe me. Someone must have been plotting a scheme behind me…" she said nervously. 'Who the hell set me up?'

Howard was utterly disgruntled; he had lost his cool, "Sharon, quit acting. You really make me feel like puking!"

He kicked her away ruthlessly. All of a sudden, he leaned over and grabbed her wedding dress forcefully. He was no longer gentle like he used to be.

"What are you doing, Howard?" Sharon was trembling.

"Take it off! What right do you have to wear it?!"

Sharon continued to struggle, but it was fruitless. She ended up having the wedding dress that had been custom-made for her stripped off in public.

Howard glanced at her with a cold stare, turned around, and handed the wedding dress to Sally. "Sally, will you marry me?"

Sally could not suppress the excitement within her and answered, "I do!"

Sharon stared at her best friend as the latter put on the wedding dress. She was astonished.

Howard even placed her wedding ring on Sally's ring finger!

"No! Sally, how could you… he's my husband!" Sharon's eyes were red as she stared at her best friend.

Sally, who was standing, looked down at her. "Sharon, let’s make it clear. Right now, Howard is my husband." With that being said, she purposely displayed the huge diamond ring on her hand.

With a smile on her face, Sally leaned beside Sharon's ear and said with a soft voice that could only be heard by the two of them, "Sharon, are you satisfied with the wedding gift I gave you?"

Sharon was thunderstruck and suddenly came to an understanding. 'The pictures were her doing!'

Anger rushed through her mind, and she wanted to rip off Sally’s fake smile so badly. "It was you, Sally…"

Before Sharon could finish accusing her, Sally raised her hand and ordered the security guards, "Chase this cunning woman out!" She put on an act as if she was Mrs. Zachary.

"Let go off me!" No matter how much Sharon struggled, it was useless. She was held down by the security guards and taken away.

Sharon felt the flames of anger rise in her chest. She had never expected that she would be set up by her best friend!

Not to mention, the man who had promised to marry her merely stared at the scene coldly.

Sharon was thrown away at the entrance of the hotel. Then, without even being able to let the pain settle in, she received a call from the hospital, "Miss Jeans, your dad has just passed away after his illness returned."

"What?!" Her hand began to shake uncontrollably, and she dropped her phone on the floor. She felt as if her heart had been pierced ruthlessly.

She was struggling to get up to head over to the hospital when she suddenly felt pain in her stomach. Subsequently, she saw blood flowing all over her thighs…

She was startled. She held onto her stomach in pain as she cried helplessly, "Baby…"
