Fresh bouquets and wreaths adorned the Hudson residence. An expensive red carpet stretched all the way to the roadside.I stood outside in silence, looking at the wedding venue before me. Was someone from Wendy Hudson's family getting married? Why keep it from me?As I walked in, I could hear the guests talking all around me."Did you see her? The bride is gorgeous!""Yeah. I heard she just came back from abroad—basically rushed home for this. How sweet!""She's the eldest daughter of the Hudson family, right?"Their whispers made me frown. Perhaps it was all a coincidence. However, when I stepped through the main doors, the host's voice stunned me in place."Welcome, everyone, to the wedding of Timothy and Wendy…"The names hit me like a blow. Timothy and Wendy? Weren't they uncle and niece? How had they suddenly become bride and groom? Could it just be two people with the same names?When the bride and groom walked out from backstage, the last of my illusions shattered.Tim

At the sound of the announcement, everyone turned to look. Luther and Janet entered slowly. Their eyes swept over the chaos scattered across the floor, and Luther's face darkened instantly.He looked up at the three of us on the stage, his gaze full of anger. I smiled to myself, thinking Wendy had dug her own grave this time. "Mr. Hudson, you came at just the right time. Wendy—"A sharp slap landed across my face. "It's you again, you madman! Didn't I tell you to stay away from my daughter?"The sting of the blow left me frozen in place. When I turned my head, I saw Wendy and Timothy smirking at me with unmasked mockery. They had known all along.Two soft chuckles echoed through what was supposed to be a solemn wedding. Every eye in the room was on me, waiting to see me humiliated.Janet pointed at me and shrilled, "All these years, Wendy has been supporting your studies, but apparently, it isn't enough for you. Marrying her? Dream on!"Seeing my shocked expression, Luther let ou

The roar of the helicopter darkened Luther's visage. He glared at me, teeth clenched. "You thought calling for backups would save you?"I forced the words out through gritted teeth. "Try taking a look at who's here.""Heard you've been looking for me all these years, Luther."An authoritative voice echoed through the room, leaving everyone stunned. They turned and saw Dad."Oh, my God. Isn't that the nation's richest man?""Why… How is he here? Wasn't he dead?""He sure was. I even saw the news about his death recently and left flowers in the comments."Unlike the other guests, everyone in the Miller family went pale. They stared at Dad in shock.Janet's voice trembled as she exclaimed, "N-No way! This is impossible! How could you still be alive? Back then, we clearly—""Clearly bribed me to trap Mr. Miller to his death, right?" said a man beside Dad.Not only was I shocked, but even Luther and Janet looked like they had seen a ghost when we saw the man. Their eyes were wide

Those words shattered the last of Wendy's illusions. Everything that she ever knew about the past crumbled into cruel truths. For a moment, her life became foreign to her."Was Mr. Hudson telling the truth? You really sent my mom onto that ship and killed her?"Luther gritted his teeth. "It was an accident. The men I sent to protect her were exposed—""Stop talking! I don't want to hear a thing!" she screamed. "Why? I just want to know why!"No one knew where he found the strength, but he suddenly broke free from Harold's hold and shoved her aside. "You think I wanted that? You think I didn't love your mother? Back then, our supply chain collapsed. There was a massive cash shortfall."I had no way out. I listened to those people and used false intelligence to lure him onto that ship. If I hadn't, our family would've been finished! They promised me nothing would happen. That was why I even let your mother go on board."Do you honestly think her death hasn't torn me apart? I…""Oh
