At our wedding, Toby Webb, the impoverished student my fiancee, Elvira Britton, has been sponsoring, barges into the venue while wailing at the top of his lungs. "Elvira, a wasp has stung me down there! Does this mean I won't be able to…" Elvira doesn't hesitate to ditch all the guests and me in favor of whisking Toby away. I quickly grab her wrist and suggest to her that we should finish the ceremony first before finding a doctor to save Toby. But she reacts by shoving me to the floor instead with an enraged look on her face. "Wallace Cochran, if you truly loved me, you wouldn't stop me at this time!" After that, she quickly takes Toby to the lounge in the wedding venue. By the time I arrive at the lounge, I witness Elvira straddling Toby. The very same woman, who had once promised me that she'd preserve her virginity for our wedding night, can be seen glaring at me angrily. "Toby's condition is very severe, you know! How am I supposed to sit by and watch him suffer? It's just virginity, isn't it? Since you want it that badly, I can just get myself repaired and let you try again, can't I?"

Sunset Over an Empty World Chapter 9
I brought Whitney home to recuperate and arranged for the world's top doctors to care for her.Just a few hours after I had Elvira arrested, Mr. and Mrs. Britton came rushing to my door again in a panic.The moment Mr. Britton saw Brock, his face went pale with shock."Mr. Griffin, what are you doing here?"Brock pinched the bridge of his nose and said with displeasure, "You got it all wrong, you old fool. Wallace is right here, and yet you dare to greet me first? Do you have a death wish or something?"With his years of experience navigating both the lawful and underworld, Brock's imposing demeanor wasn't something an ordinary person could withstand.Mr. Britton's face instantly turned ashen with fear. He dropped to his knees with a thud right in front of me."Wallace—"Before he could even finish his sentence, I hurled the glass from the table at him."What did you just call me?"I knew full well Mr. Britton wouldn't dare to dodge.Trembling with fear, he didn't move an in

I knew Elvira was afraid.She'd always believed that our two families were equals here in Northbank, all because Mr. Britton Senior once saved Grandpa.But after all these years, everyone in Northbank knew my family had long been the ones calling the shots.If it weren't for that sliver of gratitude, the Britton family would never have been able to latch onto mine. And it was precisely that pitiful sense of obligation that gave Elvira the delusion that she could push my family around.But Brock was different.Elvira only knew that Whitney had married someone from Bayfront, but not who she married.If she'd known that Whitney was married to Brock, the rumored underworld boss of Bayfront, she'd never have dared to cross her.Elvira pulled Toby down, and they fell to their knees with a heavy thud before Brock."Mr. Griffin, Toby misspoke. Please don't take it to heart."Elvira was groveling before Brock like this only because Mr. Britton still had business dealings with him."Th

But the wedding was only a short while ago, so how could Elvira be pregnant already?I had initially thought Elvira had at least a shred of conscience left and that she'd come to the hospital to see Whitney.It never occurred to me that she and Toby were actually here for a pregnancy check-up.In that moment, my heart died completely."Elvira, you already slept with Toby long before the wedding, didn't you? All this time, you've been lying about saving your first time for me, right?"Elvira instinctively wanted to deny it, but the panic on her face had already betrayed her.Years of relationship dissolved into thin air before my very eyes. Elvira was no longer the innocent girl I once remembered."Elvira, the flower has fallen," I said.Elvira frowned, not understanding what I was getting at."Wallace, stop this. If you keep making a scene, it won't be good for either of our families."The flower had fallen, and the Britton family was about to fall with it.I wiped the tears

I was at the peak of despair when Brock finally arrived at the Eastern Suburb Villa with the emergency rescue pod and a doctor.The moment he saw Whitney's injuries, Brock clenched his fists tightly."Wallace, who on earth dared to hurt Whitney like this?"I swallowed the bitterness in my throat. "Get Whitney to the hospital first. I'll explain everything to you later."I collapsed onto the floor outside the operating room, as if my soul had left me."Wallace, were you stalking me?"Elvira leaned against Toby, looking at me with suspicion, which then turned into a flicker of contempt."I knew you couldn't let go of me. Only if you go to my parents now and beg for forgiveness will I agree to continue with our wedding."Toby chimed in beside her, "Yeah. As long as you don't interfere with Elvira and me, I won't mind you being her husband. After all, I love her even more than you do."As he spoke, Toby burrowed his head into the crook of Elvira's neck, looking utterly pitiful.E

A flicker of doubt crossed Elvira's face as she looked at Toby.Seeing Toby lower his head with a hurt expression, Elvira turned back to me and snapped, "That's enough, Wallace. How dare you threaten my parents with divorce? Toby was just trying to help me get back at you."Besides, I have every r

The microphone on Elvira's wedding dress hadn't been removed.Moans rose and fell from the wedding venue's speakers.The guests turned to look at me—some smirking, some sympathetic.My fingers clenched the wine glass so tightly my knuckles went white. I drained the glass of bitter wine along with
