The Final Test

Aspen Snow was momentarily stunned before she smirked.

“Conrad, I was wrong to not have discussed this with you earlier.

“But if I told you about this, you’d definitely never agree to it.

“You’re my fiance, so what if you have to sacrifice yourself a little? Besides, nothing happened to you anyway.”

“Nothing happened?”

I raised my blood-soaked arm as my fingers trembled.

“To keep myself awake, I cut my arm open and submerged myself in cold water for six hours.

“Aspen, I’m your fiance. I’m not a tool that you can use to test another person’s loyalty!”

At the same time, the bride who was asleep through our conversation, Sadie Long, woke up.

Sadie overheard our conversation, and her sleepy eyes slowly widened in shock.

“You… you planned this?

“Brandon, why are you treating our marriage like this?”

She immediately looked at Brandon Reid in disgust.

Brandon frowned, but he still sounded confident.

“Sadie, I love you too much. Besides, it was just a tiny test…”

Sadie sneered. “I’m nauseated by your love. I’m not going to marry you anymore.”

Then, she left without looking back.

Brandon froze. A few seconds later, he immediately turned around to look at me.

“Conrad, did something really happen between the two of you? If not, why would she call off the wedding when she woke up?”

Upon hearing that, Aspen immediately started tearing up.

“Conrad, did anything happen between the two of you?”

I frowned. I found the whole thing ridiculous.

“Aspen, I was submerged in cold water for the whole night. Do you think anything could have happened?”

Brandon added fuel to the fire.

“Aspen, it may be for the better… After all, the Long family isn’t rich, but Sadie couldn’t even accept a simple test like this.

“But it’s not completely useless. At least, we managed to test Conrad’s loyalty toward you.

“Even if it might be just an act, he did cut himself open with a shard of glass.”

Aspen’s eyes dimmed. She flung my hand away as though she was touching something dirty.

“You should reflect on your own actions.”

After she said that, she left with Brandon.

I froze and felt extremely helpless.

I did nothing, yet I was treated so poorly and coldly!

After they left, I climbed out of the bathtub. I left a bloody trail behind me with every step I took.

I had to quickly go to the hospital…

The wedding venue was opposite the bedroom that I was in.

All the guests were waiting anxiously, but Sadie did not show up.

I leaned against the wall and stumbled into the hall.

I wanted to ask for an ambulance, but my voice was extremely weak.

“Help me…”

Brandon stood in the middle of the stage, facing the guests and Sadie’s parents, Howard Long and Jessica Long.

When he saw me appearing, a hint of malice flashed in his eyes.

“Howard, Jessica, you have to support me!”

He suddenly pointed at me as he immediately accused me with a loud voice.

“I was excited to get married today, but Sadie disappeared for an entire night.

“This morning, I found her in the same room as Conrad.

“After I discovered what happened, Sadie was furious, so she wanted to call off the wedding. Then, she left!”
