He Chose His Girl Bestie, I Chose Her Groom Chapter 9
A few months later, Larry and I attended the wedding of a mutual friend, Beatrice Hilton.As soon as we walked in, Mom smiled and introduced me to everyone. "This is my daughter-in-law, Amber."I had barely sat down when Larry swapped my iced drink for a warm one."You have a sensitive stomach, so go easy on cold drinks."Across the room, Julian was watching us. He stared for a long time before downing the drink in his glass.Before the reception had even ended, another online scandal erupted.Nicola had re-edited the wedding-day footage and posted it again. She cut out every scene showing how she had taken my place, leaving only the clips of me marrying Larry instead.Her caption made it sound like she was the one who had been betrayed. She claimed Larry and I had been secretly involved long before the wedding, and that my decision to marry him was part of a carefully planned scheme.The video spread quickly. Before long, even people in the ballroom recognized me and began whi

After that, Julian stopped showing up at my door with relatives and friends in tow and began dealing with the fallout from the wedding.I heard that he packed everything used at the wedding into a single box. He also issued a public apology in the group chats shared by both families.He admitted that the wedding had fallen apart neither because I was being unreasonable nor because Larry had stolen the bride.Rather, it was his own fault. He had known it would hurt me, yet he had still allowed Nicola to take my place again and again.The long-overdue clarification didn't earn him a single response from me. Instead, it brought all his past acts of favoritism toward Nicola back into the spotlight.Even the people who had once made excuses for him began avoiding him. Only then did they realize that, while they'd treated the wedding as entertainment, they had been making a joke of my place as the bride.Meanwhile, Nicola still refused to give up.When she found out that Larry and I w

On the morning of the third day, Mr. and Mrs. Bennett showed up at my door, just as I'd expected. They'd brought several family elders, along with some of the guests who'd cheered the loudest at the wedding.When I opened the door, Mrs. Bennett was holding the jewelry box. The moment she saw me, her eyes reddened."Amber, I'm heartbroken over how things turned out too. But you and Julian have been together for seven years—you can't throw away a lifetime together just because things got out of hand at the wedding."The family elders beside her chimed in as well, saying, "A wedding is one thing, a marriage is another. You have every right to be angry, but you can't let a moment of anger decide the rest of your life."Mrs. Bennett opened the jewelry box and held it out to me. Inside was the heirloom necklace."You've always been the daughter-in-law we wanted for this family. If you're willing to come back, we'll hold the wedding again and do everything exactly the way you want."I

As soon as I woke up the next morning, a flood of messages popped up on my phone.Videos from the wedding had gone viral, and the first person to post them was none other than Nicola.She had deliberately clipped only the part where I married Larry, adding a caption that made her sound both heartbroken and wronged."Seven years of love, all undone by a sudden change of heart."Before long, people were rushing to take her and Julian's side in the comments.They accused me of turning against Julian on our wedding day, claimed Larry and I had been involved long before this, and said I had humiliated both families.Before I could even respond, Nicola posted a second video. In it, she was wearing the Bennett family's heirloom necklace as she snuggled up to Julian.Her caption was even more pointed."Some people take everything from others, then turn around and play the victim."After she posted that, public opinion actually began to shift. People finally started noticing how Julian

The wedding was taking place in the ballroom on the top floor.Inside the invitation was the couple's bracelet I had just taken off, and beneath it lay a small note."Since you insist on playing this game to the very end, I'll marry the man who never mistook someone else for me."Julian froze completely and clutched the invitation so tightly that his hands began to tremble uncontrollably.By the time he stormed up to the top floor, Larry and I were already exchanging our vows. He stared at us from across the room, his anger finally spilling over.I was standing onstage when I heard Julian's voice drawing closer."Amber, are you seriously going to marry Larry just to spite me? Have you lost your mind?"The emcee, Emerson Hodge, paused and turned to look at me.Holding my hand, Larry spoke with effortless courtesy and grace. "Come downstairs with me now, and you and Julian can still have your wedding. I'll pretend none of this ever happened."I glanced sideways toward the doorwa

Back on the top floor, the makeup artist, Tamara Winn, touched up my makeup.I had barely settled into my seat when word came from downstairs that Mr. and Mrs. Bennett were about to bring out the family heirloom necklace.My fingers froze, and I immediately got to my feet.On our engagement day, Julian had held out the jewelry box to me with a smile and said, "This necklace has been passed down to the daughters-in-law of my family for generations. And on our wedding day, I'll put it around your neck myself."I remembered those words for a long time, so I knew exactly what that necklace meant.By the time I reached the private room, Mrs. Bennett had already opened the jewelry box. The necklace inside shimmered under the lights.Quite a few of the elders had gathered around.Someone said with a laugh that the heirloom necklace was meant for Julian's wife, while someone else remarked that this wedding was getting more entertaining by the minute.I interrupted them from the doorway
