Penelope gasped, utterly shocked that Ashton had found out. She froze, unable to move. She lowered her head and began to sob softly.

"I'm sorry," Penelope whispered.

Ashton held back his emotions, then fixed his sharp gaze on her. "It's true, isn't it? You put something in Hannah's food?"

"I'm sorry," Penelope repeated.

"What is your problem?" Terry looked stunned. "Penelope, what did you do?"

"I just..." Penelope was at a loss for words.

Terry grabbed Penelope's arm and dragged her into the center of the village hall. Without hesitation, she began interrogating her in front of everyone. Penelope looked distraught as she finally admitted everything.

Ashton had never imagined that Penelope had feelings for him. To him, she was nothing more than a colleague in the program. He had never thought of her in any other way.

But Victoria didn’t want anything to interfere with their first night together.As soon as the door to the room opened, Hannah was in awe of the luxurious interior. This one still amazes her despite spending the last few years in and out of fancy hotels.“Victoria really went all out on this one,” Hannah murmured.Ashton whispered in Hannah’s ear. “Shall we go inside?”“Absolutely.”Hannah entered the room with Ashton.

Most had already departed, leaving only family members waiting with pale and anxious faces.Victoria visibly relaxed when she saw Hannah and Ashton enter the hall. The middle-aged woman hurried over to her son. Ashton gave her a toothy grin.“Mom,” Ashton greeted her.Victoria glared at him angrily. “Have you lost your mind? You left Hannah, and you think it’s okay? I didn’t raise you to be irresponsible, Ashton!”Ashton lowered his head. “I’m sorry, Mom. I just thought Hannah might not be happy with me, so I...”Ashton’s eyes flicked to Alden, who watched them from a distance and was too hesitant to approach.

    "What did you say?"Hannah was shocked at Aspen's words. Before Aspen could answer, Hannah's phone buzzed with several new messages. She quickly grabbed it and read the texts from Ashton."I'm sorry, but I feel like I'm standing in the way of your happiness.""Your groom is already here. And it's not me.""I can't compete with my own brother."Hannah's hands shook with rage as she read the messages.Without thinking, she stormed out of the room and rushed into the hall, where an uproar had already broken out. Everyone knew Ashton was missing. Hannah's legs felt weak, her heart heavy with disbelief.How could Ashton call off the wedding at the last minute and hand her over to Alden?"How stupid," Hannah thought bitterly.Alden approached her and locked eyes with her for a moment, frozen by her beauty in the wedding gown. He couldn't stop staring at his ex-wife, who looked more radiant than ever."Did Ashton send yo

  • Marrying the Chairman in the Wheelchair   188. Who's the Right One

    Though the cafe fight was eventually broken up by people around them, and Hannah left with Ashton, it caused quite a stir.The café fight became a hot topic on social media, especially since it coincided with the day of Sarah Young's death, dragging Alden, Hannah, and Ashton into the news.Hannah went straight to her room after Victoria told her to.

As soon as the meeting ended, Ashton walked up to her."Is something bothering you, dear?" Ashton asked.Hannah was silent for a moment, then shook her head weakly."Hannah?""Sarah Young died today. I saw the news and she died of cancer," Hannah replied quietly.Ashton had no idea who this Sarah was. Hannah had never mentioned the name before.

"I understand why Alden did that, because in the past there was an accident and Sarah was badly injured. Her mental illness could never be completely cured.""Okay, this is new information to me.
