Lahat ng Kabanata ng That’s My Bouquet!: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

Rage boiled over, and I stormed up to the stage, slapping Selena hard across the face.Her eyes immediately reddened, and tears streamed down her face.“Trish, I can look past how you always make my life hard. But this is my wedding!” she cried. “Who has ever heard of giving a bouquet back after a swap? These glass bouquets are all over online shopping platforms for just ten bucks. Fine, I’ll give you a hundred to make up for it!”My fiancé, Ian Carter, rushed to the stage and shielded her behind his back, while my brother, Sean Scott, stormed toward me, his face dark. Without a word, he slapped me hard across my cheek.“Enough. It’s just a bouquet! If you want one, I’ll buy you a truckload. Stop making a scene. This is Selena’s wedding!”I stared at him, shaking with anger as I shouted, “That bouquet is mine! It was carved from the finest jade by Granddad himself! It’s his blessing to me!”“Blessing?” Sean sneered. “It’s just a bunch of flowers. You’re acting like a spoiled prin

“How could this be? Trish, you’re joking, right?”Selena’s face turned pale as she stared at the fresh bouquet in my hands.I looked at her, a faint smile tugging at my lips.“I just came from paying respects to my granddad and my father. They can’t be with me at my wedding, so this is the only way I can include them. I went to the cemetery myself and told them I was getting married today. This bouquet is my way of honoring them, so that, from above, they’ll be able to witness it too. “I just didn’t expect to run into another bride on this route. It seems you had the unique idea of arranging your wedding convoy to pass right by the cemetery, Selena.”The crowd suddenly realized something was off.That was right. My granddad passed away last year, and he was a world-renowned artist who was mourned deeply when he died. My dad, on the other hand, had been killed in a car crash the very day I was born.The public opinion in the livestream shifted instantly.“Wait a second, doesn’t

He looked at me, as if he couldn’t believe what he’d just saw.I nodded. “The media should still have the footage.”There was no way I was going to let Sean sweep that under the rug. Selena’s face went pale as she glanced between Sean and Ian. Despair filled her eyes.That bouquet was really worth a hundred million? Even if she sold herself, she could never repay it.“Fine, we’ll pay!”Sean and Ian gritted their teeth and finally stepped forward. With so many influential people watching, dragging it out any longer would only make things worse.“Pay? You think money can fix this? That bouquet was priceless! Trisha’s already being merciful, offering it to us for just a hundred million!”“Do you even understand the kind of sin you’ve committed?”Mr. Crossby and Mr. Lincoln, both long-time patrons of art and history, glared at the four of them with such fury that it looked like they might tear them apart on the spot.“Mr. Crossby, Mr. Lincoln, please don’t be upset…” I said soft

“Mom…” I dove into her arms.“My girl, you’ve been through so much.” She stroked my hair, her eyes full of tenderness.“How is this possible… Wasn’t your flight the one that crashed?” Sean asked“Oh, that flight?” she answered lightly. “I never boarded that plane. I can’t believe you’re bold enough to bribe my assistant, Sean. If I hadn’t come back, who knows where you two illegitimate siblings would’ve sent my daughter off to? Hiring killers is a crime, Sean. You really went that far, huh?”Sean’s eyes flickered sinisterly. Even if we found out, without proof, he’d walk free.Mom’s face hardened. Did they really think she was dead and gone?“Sean,” she said, voice icy, “you may be a Scott, but you’re not a part of this family. By blood, we’re not related at all. You have no right to inherit anything from us. When your father passed away early, I only kept you around because I pitied you and because I thought Trisha needed someone to watch over her, but it seems I have raised a t

Ian panicked. He wanted desperately to return to the Carters. However, Gwen had handed over evidence of his embezzling of company funds to James Carter, their father.James was so furious that he suffered a stroke and was left half-paralyzed in bed. With the company’s finances in shambles, James had no choice but to sell off Carter Inc.’s shares.Through our cooperation, Gwen quietly bought them up at low prices. Piece by piece, she swallowed all of Carter Inc. without anyone realizing until it was too late. As for Ian, he was abandoned by the Carters and reduced to homelessness.Meanwhile, Sean tried to resist, relying on the core technology he still controlled. However, even he was betrayed. Flynn, tired of Sean’s arrogance, secretly leaked his technology to rival companies. Just like that, Sean lost his last bargaining chip.“It’s about time we close the net,” I said with a smile, finishing the last sip of tea in my hand.The alliance of four collapsed quickly. Ian, abandoned a
