Lord Grayson wore a grim face throughout the entire ceremony, not a trace of a smile to be seen.But Chloe Bishop didn't mind. If it weren't for Lady Grayson still being alive, she knew Xavier Grayson probably wouldn't have wanted anything to do with the old man or the eldest branch of the family.After the formalities were done, it was time to head to the wedding venue and start welcoming the guests.Once they were in the car, Xavier Grayson never let go of Chloe Bishop's hand—their fingers intertwined the whole way.Xavier Grayson said to her, "I'll be announcing Adrian's identity today. I already talked to him about it last night."Chloe Bishop nodded. "He mentioned it to me too. Honestly, it doesn't matter whether it's announced or not. Adrian is so thoughtful—I'd be thrilled just to have him call me 'Mom.'"Xavier Grayson said, "No matter what title he uses, in his heart, you're already his mother. Are you tired? Get some rest."Chloe Bishop nodded and leaned her head against his

Alice smiled and said nothing more.When they reached the projection area, Tim personally handed the USB drive to the technician and watched as the wedding photos were successfully displayed on the big screen. Only then did he feel at ease.Before leaving, Tim called two men over to stand guard. He also made a point of telling Alice and the staff member inside, "I'm leaving this in your hands. If anything goes wrong with the playback, you'll bear the consequences."Both Alice and the technician nodded repeatedly in agreement.After Tim left, the technician muttered to Alice in a low voice, "It's just a wedding photo slideshow. Who makes such a big deal out of it? What could possibly go wrong with something like this?"Alice smiled casually. "Well, wealthy families have their secrets. Let's just do our part—and besides, I'm here keeping an eye on things for you."The technician nodded. "Good thing you're here too. Otherwise, even going to the bathroom, those two bodyguards outside woul

Chloe Bishop was stunned. So Zara was actually a native of New York City—no European blood at all. She had to admit, the woman's skills in disguise were truly astonishing.Zayed continued, "After Alice returned to New York City, she had Charlotte assaulted, recorded the whole thing, and took photos. Xavier Grayson and the New York City police have been looking for her all this time.""Today, she disguised herself as a hotel staff member and slipped into the wedding venue. But Xavier Grayson already guessed her plan and has had people watching her from the shadows."Chloe Bishop understood Alice's objective immediately. Just imagining the possible outcome made her scalp prickle. "I see. Go see if there's anywhere you can help."When she saw Xavier Grayson returning, she quickly tucked the photos away. She didn't want him to know that she knew about this.By the time Xavier Grayson came back to her side, the deep furrow between his brows had eased. She could sense that the tension weigh

"Watch out!"When the bodyguards saw the gun in Alice's hand, instinct took over—they dodged.Alice seized the opening and ran with everything she had."After her! The gun's not loaded!"Tim roared, then drove his foot into Vaemond's abdomen.Vaemond was like a madman—he hit the ground, scrambled back up, and threw himself at Tim again without a care for his own life, tangling with him once more.Alice fled into an office and slammed the door shut behind her, locking it.When the bodyguards kicked the door open, they saw a woman trembling in the corner, crouched low with her hands on her head.The men stormed in and searched the room."Where is she?"Lace came in from behind and demanded of the woman.The woman pointed toward the bathroom and warned, "Be careful—she has a gun."Then she scrambled out of the office and fled.The bodyguards kicked open the bathroom door—only to find it empty, with no window to escape from.But one of them found a pile of clothes and a wig under the desk

Screams of terror erupted from all around.Xavier Grayson's hand shot out and caught the blade mid-air—bare-handed. Then he raised his leg and drove a brutal kick into Alice's chest, sending her flying back. "Get away from her!"Crash!Alice's body slammed into a display stand, toppling it over with a deafening noise.Vincent immediately rushed forward and pinned her to the ground."Are you okay?"Xavier Grayson checked Chloe Bishop anxiously, his eyes full of concern.Shaken to the core, Chloe Bishop's face was ashen. She shook her head, then grabbed Xavier Grayson's hand, staring at his bloodied palm. Her lips trembled. "Your hand… it's bleeding. Tim… Tim…"He could feel her entire body trembling. She was terrified. He pulled her into his arms without hesitation. "Don't be scared, Chloe. It's over. It's over…"Vincent hauled Alice to her feet and announced loudly to the crowd, "Everyone, this woman is a fugitive wanted for murder. The police have been hunting her for some time—she s

"Looks like this wedding isn't happening today.""Of course not. Have you forgotten who Xavier is? There's no way he'd tolerate being cuckolded.""I thought they were well-matched... What a mess, honestly."The branch of the Grayson Family led by Het and his wife, who least wanted to see Xavier join forces with the Bishop family, couldn't hide their glee—and of course, they weren't about to miss the chance to kick someone while they were down.Het Grayson was livid. "I thought she was noble and refined. Turns out she's nothing but a cheap little tramp. Our Grayson Family has no use for such a woman!"Isabella chimed in, "She seemed like such a fine girl, but did you see those photos just now? That expression on her face—so enjoying herself, so wanton...""Shut up! I won't have you slandering my daughter like that—there has to be more to this story!"Xavier had Lan collect the photos, but he couldn't silence the gossip.Charles Bishop's family was frantic, arguing loudly with the onloo

Chloe Bishop felt deeply grateful to have such a wonderful family.She thought heaven had been kind to her—at this critical moment, her family, her friends, and the man she loved had not abandoned her.They all stood by her side, arguing on her behalf. No matter whether the woman in those photos was actually her or not, their first instinct was to protect her.Not long after, Caesor arrived.Among the Grayson Family's relatives and friends, egged on by Het Grayson's family, anger was simmering. Many wore expressions that said: if the Bishop family didn't give a proper explanation, today's matter was far from over.Xavier Grayson took it all in. He said a few words to Caesor, then walked up to the wedding stage. His sharp, eagle-like gaze swept over the indignant crowd below.Soon, the murmurs died down. Everyone turned to look at him, waiting for him to speak.But Xavier Grayson remained silent for a long while.Het Grayson and his wife felt a chill run down their spines under Xavier

When Caesor stepped onto the stage, he had someone bring up a table.He placed the computer on it, opened it, and nodded to Xavier Grayson.Only then did Xavier Grayson raise the photos in his hand and address the crowd: "Everyone—the woman who threw these photos just now is a murderer. The person she killed is the female lead in these pictures."The crowd was stunned. Was Xavier Grayson saying the woman in the photos wasn't Chloe Bishop?Caesor immediately pulled up images of Charlotte's body and projected them onto the large screen.When everyone saw the woman on the screen, gasps rippled through the hall.At first glance, they thought it was Chloe Bishop—but on closer look, there were differences. Still, the resemblance was uncanny.Chloe Bishop quickly covered Adrian Grayson's eyes when she saw the body, afraid he'd be frightened.Charlotte was partially clothed, so everyone could only see above her collarbone. The image was high-definition—the marks of violation on her body were

Chloe Bishop hadn't expected Xavier Grayson to clear her name so swiftly. She said "It's alright" to those who came to apologize, then turned her gaze toward him.From this moment on, she knew—this was a man she could trust with her whole heart.No matter what came their way in the future, as long as they held on to each other, there was no obstacle they couldn't overcome.She curved her red lips into a faint smile and reached out her hand toward him.Xavier Grayson stepped down from the stage and walked over to her.Chloe Bishop immediately turned to Tim. "Take him and get that wound treated."Just now, he had caught Alice's blade with his bare hand—his palm had been slashed with a long, deep gash.Tim had already had his men bring over a medical kit, ready to tend to Xavier Grayson's hand the moment things wrapped up.Xavier Grayson pointed to a corner and said to Tim, "Do it here."Then he looked back at the crowd. "Whoever hasn't apologized—keep going."Tim and Xavier Grayson move

Charles Bishop and Shawn's wife finally relaxed when they heard Lady Grayson's words. Today, Xavier Grayson and Lady Grayson had not disappointed them.They could rest assured—Chloe was marrying into good hands.Through this incident, everyone could see how deeply Lady Grayson and Xavier Grayson cherished Chloe Bishop.Everyone remarked on how fortunate Chloe Bishop was. Had this happened in another family, today's wedding would have been called off for sure.Only Xavier Grayson had the ability to react so swiftly—and to come up with a countermeasure in such a short time. Otherwise, those photos would have spread, and even a dozen mouths wouldn't have been enough to explain things away.Not to mention, Xavier Grayson had thrown caution to the wind and caught the attacker's knife with his bare hand to save Chloe Bishop—putting himself in harm's way without a second thought.The guests were also impressed by Chloe Bishop's courage and commanding presence. Any ordinary woman would have c
