The Northern Wind Couldn't Keep Me Chapter 15
I turned around and wanted to leave. He suddenly asked with a hoarse voice, "Emma, if I hadn't changed your college application back then, do you think we'd end up differently?"I paused in my tracks. The breeze blew gently against my veil.I turned to him and smiled calmly. "Maybe, but you changed it, so there's no 'what if'." After saying that, I no longer looked at him. When the security guards brought him away, he called out my name desperately. His voice was carried away by the sea breeze. Very soon, I could no longer hear him. I walked back to William. He looked at me with pride and love. "Are you alright?"I nodded. "I'm great." The ceremony continued. The moment he put the ring on me, the sun shone on the sea as the sea glistened. William leaned down to kiss me. The crowd erupted into cheers and applause. I shut my eyes and felt extremely light. After that, I uploaded our wedding photo to social media with a caption. [I'm very glad to have

If I could, I would go back and hug her and tell her to not be afraid. The South was a wonderful place, and I would do good too. I would meet a lot of sincere friends and study a major that I truly liked. I would stand on the stage while receiving awards, and I would meet a man who truly loved me. He would not alter my college application or laugh at my dreams. He also would not treat my tears as a joke. All this while, he had only respected and protected me, allowing me to be the best version of myself. My father placed my hand in William's palm. He teared up and sobbed, "Emma, happy marriage." I nodded. "Thanks, Dad." William held my hand. The priest asked if he was willing to marry me. He answered, "I do." When it was my turn, I looked him in the eyes and said with a smile, "I do." Everyone clapped. My mother cried like a child. My college friends were laughing and cheering. Then, my friends from UN society shouted, "Emma, keep shining forever!"

"I'm standing here today, not just for myself, but also for all the victims who had been bullied, shunned, ridiculed, yet asked to be the bigger person."You didn't do anything wrong. "The victims should never be the ones who apologize or pay the price."After I said that, I refused to answer any further questions. William held my hand as we got into the car. The moment the car door was shut, it also shut all the commotion outside. I leaned against the car seat and let out a long sigh. William turned to look at me. "You're awesome." I laughed. "It sounds like you're humoring me." He pondered for a while and said, "My fiancée is acting like a queen today." I could not help but laugh. The car drove away from the courthouse. I saw Theo running after the car from the rearview mirror. He stood behind the crowd and kept calling my name. "Emma! Emma!" I did not turn back. His figure became smaller and smaller in the rearview mirror, and he finally disappeared

I sat on the plaintiff's side, and I felt I was transported back in time. Ten years ago, those words once cut deep into my heart.Ten years later, I only found them ridiculous. Alec asked Theo, "Do you admit that you've logged into Emma's account and altered her college application?"Theo remained silent for a long moment, before he finally answered with a hoarse voice. "Yes, I admit that." Alec continued, "Do you admit that when others humiliated and ridiculed Emma, not only did you not stop them, but you also joined them in bullying her?"Theo gulped. "Yes." "Do you admit that in the class reunion ten years later, you hit Emma, and forcefully dragged her?""Yes." Every time Theo admitted to a question asked, I felt another door shut in my heart. Those were the doors to the past. I would no longer open them. The other classmates sitting at the defendant's table started to panic. Some of them cried, "I was just going along with everyone else.""I didn't mean

He smiled. "Should we push the wedding back, then?""No." I immediately answered. William was stunned. I looked at him and said seriously. "I'm suing them for closure for my younger self."But I won't put my happiness on hold because of them." William's eyes softened into a smile. He bent down and kissed my forehead. "Alright. "Then, I'll continue with the wedding preparations."I teased him on purpose. "You're so busy, how are you going to personally prepare for that?"He held my hand and rubbed the ring on my wedding finger. "I don't want others to work on our wedding. I'm the one who's marrying you." My heart melted. He had healed me from all the humiliation, betrayal, and my broken heart. It wasn't about proving anything to Theo. It was just a reminder for myself that I deserved to be cherished. On the day the trial began, many reporters were gathered outside. It went viral a few times online. Initially, some people claimed that I was only pu

"Isn't Emma doing quite well now? I heard she's marrying a CEO."Fiona just became a civil servant. If she's sued, her future would be ruined." My mother sneered. "I don't know whether your daughter's future will be ruined."But my daughter was almost ruined by Fiona and the rest when she was just eighteen." Ruby was speechless. My mother continued, "Besides, don't say that my daughter's marrying well. "She worked very hard for what she has today."It has nothing to do with bullies like you." After she hung up, my mother turned around to hug me. She had a lot of gray hair compared to ten years ago. "Emma, I was always afraid of poking your wounds back then, so I didn't dare to ask. "It's only now that I know how much you suffered when you were alone in South City."I hugged her and whispered, "It's over now." My mother shook her head. "Even if it's over, they should apologize to you."We don't owe them anything." I teared up and nodded fiercely. She was r
