บททั้งหมดของ The Deaf Bride Isn't Deaf?: บทที่ 11 - บทที่ 20

Two bodies intertwined on the sofa, breathless gasps breaking the silence. Their faces remained obscured, leaving the guests to murmur among themselves."Who are they? To think they would dare ruin Mr. Warhol's wedding—this won't end well for them.""Exactly. Everyone knows how much he loves his fiancée. Turning his wedding into this mess? He's going to explode."But Grayson recognized them instantly. The figures on the screen—himself and Ruby.Rage surged through him. He spun toward the emcee and roared, "Turn it off! Shut it down now!"The emcee had only been following Violet's instructions when he played the video. He had no idea what it contained. The moment the first frame appeared, his stomach dropped. He rushed backstage to stop the video, but panic made his hands fumble. The computer froze, refusing to respond.On the screen, the video reached its climax. The woman, who had been resting her head against the man's shoulder, lifted herself up and began to undress. The man,

The guests below the stage were already in shock the moment they saw the coffin.At first, they thought it was some cruel prank from a rival family. But when they saw Grayson's reaction—so raw, so unfeigned—they realized the truth. The person in the coffin was indeed today's bride, Violet.Everything suddenly made sense. The long delay before the ceremony, the explosive video that had played before the guests' eyes. It all pointed to one thing.Violet had known about Grayson's betrayal long before today. She had orchestrated the video. She had planned her own funeral to arrive at the wedding.The room was filled with murmurs and sighs.No one had ever imagined that Grayson—the man who always presented himself as devoted and affectionate—would have an affair. When they learned the truth, it felt like a heavy blow. But their shock was nothing compared to what Violet must have felt. She had lived inside a beautiful lie for so long, and when the illusion shattered, she could not bear

On the other end, Ruby was momentarily stunned by how quickly Grayson agreed. Then, delight surged through her.She had assumed that today, being Grayson and Violet's wedding day, convincing him to leave his bride's side—even with the child as an excuse—would require effort. But he had agreed without hesitation, rendering all the words she had prepared useless.Her heart pounded wildly.Did this mean she now held a more significant place in Grayson's heart than Violet? If so, how far could the position of Mrs. Warhol be from her grasp?After all, the child she carried was his first and only.A glint of certainty flashed in her eyes.Even if Violet became Mrs. Warhol today, who was to say she could keep that title?Seizing the moment before Grayson arrived, Ruby slipped into a silk nightgown, spritzed on his favorite perfume, and lay elegantly on the sofa, waiting.When Grayson pushed open the door, the first thing he saw was Ruby lounging in a slip dress on the couch.His eyes

The bodyguards, having rushed over upon receiving the order, pushed open the door and stepped inside. Without hesitation, they seized Ruby, who trembled violently, and prepared to escort her to the hospital as instructed.She struggled with all her strength, but these men were professionally trained. There was no chance of her breaking free so easily. As they dragged her toward the door, she screamed, her voice raw and desperate."Grayson! You said you only love Violet! But we spent so many nights together—don't you feel anything for me at all? You told me you loved me!"But Grayson remained unmoved. His gaze never wavered, and he gestured for the bodyguards to proceed.Ruby fought against them the entire way to the hospital. Once inside, she cried out to the doctors and nurses for help. But this was a private hospital under the Warhol Group. Every employee knew who Grayson was. Whatever he said, they followed.Strapped to the operating table, she could do nothing as the anesthesi

Emily looked at Grayson. Her son's gaunt face was drained of life, and all she felt was pain."Grayson, get up and eat something, will you?"But he remained motionless, as if sealed inside a world where no sound could reach him.She had never been fond of Violet, the daughter-in-law who couldn't hear. But she couldn't change her son's mind, so she had no choice but to accept it. Still, she couldn't bear the thought of other wealthy wives mocking her for having a deaf daughter-in-law. That was why she and her husband had used a business trip as an excuse to skip the wedding.Yet, they had been gone for only two days, and the entire Warhol family had fallen into chaos.Violet had committed suicide, and even arranged for her coffin to be sent straight to the wedding venue. News of her son's affair had spread like wildfire. The company's stock price had plummeted. And now, her son was drowning in despair.She blamed it all on Violet.In high society, who didn't keep a mistress or tw
