Chapter 7

Wedding Seven
I picked out a black, perfectly tailored suit that looked both sharp and formal for the wedding ceremony.

In accordance with the comments in the comment section, Jaiden's supposedly "rich aunt" was actually a loan shark with ties to the criminal underworld.

I simply thought that this wedding was bound to turn into a complete disaster.

Maisie wore a coordinating evening gown and took my arm as we headed to the venue together.

Upon arriving, the wedding scene was already crowded with guests,

    In the end, Zoe was sentenced to three years in prison for her mid-street assault on a pregnant woman.Maisie secured the building with an astonishingly high bid that no one could match on the day Sutherland Group's assets went up for auction. She presented the deed to me as a gift, saying, "I'd like to give this to you—this will serve as the new Sorenson Group headquarters in the future."I looked at her and pulled her close by the waist with a smile. "You're quite the high roller, Ms. Shepherd. You're really not afraid of me blowing through your fortune, huh?"Maisie leaned into my embrace and said earnestly, "All that I own belongs to you—my life included."…It was several months later, and Maisie gave birth to a healthy baby boy—and on the occasion of his one-month celebration, the Sorenson and Shepherd families hosted a magnificent banquet. Dad formally announced that he was handing over full authority of Sorenson Group to me during the banquet.Maisie, on the other hand,

    Zoe collapsed to her knees, sobbing as she begged for my forgiveness. "I was out of my mind back then. I should never have listened to Jaiden—that prick—or humiliated you at the wedding. I hope you'll forgive me, Waylon."I'm all yours if you can get the Sorenson family to reinvest and save Sutherland Group, and also save my mother. I'll cut all ties with Jaiden. I'll even marry you and spend the rest of my life making up to you. I'll do whatever you say, Waylon!"Upon seeing her groveling like this, completely stripped of her pride, I felt absolutely nothing. I just found the entire situation utterly absurd.There were some who commented in the comment section."In the novel, the female lead was different; she was cold-blooded when the supporting male lead begged for mercy.""Zoe is such a hypocrite. She's all for being ruthless until she's the one on the losing end."I felt a dull ache spreading through my chest as I saw that. I then stated deliberately, "It's already too late,

    Zoe's complexion went dark with rage. She directed a murderous stare at me, looking as though she wanted to tear me apart, limb from limb.I remained indifferent and whispered in her ear, "You'd better not forget that your company still owes Sorenson Group a billion dollars in bridge loans, Zoe. It's due this coming Monday, so make sure to settle it then."I ignored her crumbling expression and turned away with poise, taking Maisie's hand as we walked out.I later found out from the comment section that Zoe and Jaiden had forced their way through the wedding ceremony, though the atmosphere remained incredibly awkward.Zoe dragged Jaiden off to meet his so-called influential aunt, Katie Hall, in Stonecreek right after the wedding ceremony ended, only to find out that this so-called aunt was nothing more than a petty gangster running a small loan-sharking business.Katie glanced at the disheveled Zoe, sizing her up. She then blew out a puff of smoke and said nonchalantly, "I have no

    Zoe, faced with the sea of cameras and the gossiping guests, found herself backed into a corner. She knew that she would become the laughingstock of Stonecreek if this wedding turned into another disaster, with no possibility of ever making a comeback. She merely gritted her teeth and stared at Jaiden with a conflicted expression.Jaiden acted as if she hadn't noticed her expression at all. He held Zoe around the waist with a blissful smile and addressed the crowd. "Thank you all for attending Zoe and my wedding today. You might be wondering why I'm the groom today instead of Waylon."He teared up and, with a heavy touch of melodrama, put his hand over Zoe's flat stomach and continued, "It's because Zoe is pregnant with my child, and for the sake of the unborn child and our relationship, Waylon graciously chose to step back."Zoe whipped her head toward Jaiden, her eyes brimming with shock and suspicion."Zoe is stunned yet again! She honestly manages to make me laugh every singl

I simply thought that this wedding was bound to turn into a complete disaster.Maisie wore a coordinating evening gown and took my arm as we headed to the venue together.Upon arriving, the wedding scene was already crowded with guests, with camera flashes flickering nonstop.Zoe stood at the end of the red carpet in a white wedding gown, wearing a confident smile. She froze for a moment after spotting me, though she regained her poise almost instantly.Those in the comment section burst out laughing."Zoe actually believes the supporting male lead dressed up like this just to be petty with her.""Does she really think the supporting male lead will still give in to her? I'm dying to see what happens next; the way the plot i

    In that instant, everyone in the comment section went wild."Your so-called husband is no longer in the picture, Zoe!""It seems like the female lead recognized the big shot as the stand-in she had previously hired. It is such a satisfying reversal! Is the story moving toward the female lead chasing after her childhood sweetheart now?"Zoe's expression shifted as soon as she recognized Maisie. "Do you really take me for a fool, Waylon?"She then pointed at Maisie and continued, "Isn't this the stand-in I paid 100 thousand dollars for? Didn't you get enough of the act at the wedding? How could you drag her here to act out this 'loving married couple' routine?"Jaiden covered his mouth in mock surprise, though his eyes were brimming with contempt. "How could you do this, Waylon? Zoe is already stressed to the limit with Sutherland Group! You're not only not helping her, but you also hired someone to put on a show just to rile her up! You're being so inconsiderate!"He then turned t
