Alle Kapitel von My Bridesmaid Shamed Me, so I Respawned: Kapitel 1 – Kapitel 10

Theodore hesitated for a beat, clearly torn. Just then, Nicole burst out laughing, completely unapologetic. "Oh, Mer, that's rich. If you've got nothing to hide, why are you so desperate to get Theodore to defend you?"Her heels clicked against the floor as she crossed the room before stopping in front of me."You're not seriously going to deny you were at the gynecologist's on the 15th of last month, are you?" she drawled, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "Swear you weren't there, and I'll get down on my knees and apologize to you right here."Suddenly, every eye in the room was on me.The hesitation in Theodore's eyes vanished, replaced by fury and humiliation. "Meredith, answer her!"He pointed at me, his voice trembling as he demanded, "Were you at the OB-GYN clinic at First General Hospital on the 15th or not?"I met his gaze and replied calmly, "I was there."Once again, murmurs swept through the room. My parents were beside themselves with worry. Tears welled up i

Nicole's eyes darted around, and before anyone could react, she snatched up my clutch. "I really didn't want to take it this far, but you really have no shame!"She turned to the crowd, held up my clutch, and said, "Hey, don't blame me for getting involved. I was just helping Meredith gather up the wedding gifts earlier, and I couldn't help noticing something in her bag."As she spoke, she yanked open the zipper, turned the clutch upside down, and shook everything out. My lipsticks, powder compact, and tissues spilled across the floor. After that, an unopened box of pills fell out, along with a crumpled ultrasound report. And then came a key card from a five-star hotel. Nicole snatched up the ultrasound report and held it up for everyone to see. "Look! It says she's seven weeks pregnant!"Having said that, she kicked the box of pills aside."Mifepristone! These are abortion pills, plain and simple!" she yelled, her voice shrill enough to cut through the noise. Nicole covered

The doors were kicked open with such force that the crystal chandelier overhead swayed. The chorus of curses abruptly died away, and every eye in the room turned toward the entrance. Leading the group was a middle-aged woman in a striking red designer trench coat. She wore four-inch black stilettos and oversized sunglasses. The woman carried herself with an icy, commanding presence.Behind her, four burly bodyguards in black suits dragged a man behind them as though he were nothing more than a sack of trash.His face was streaked with blood, his suit torn to shreds. Moreover, his features were so swollen and battered that he was almost unrecognizable. With a dull thud, the bodyguards hurled the heavyset man onto the red carpet. The man writhed on the floor, whimpering weakly. Eventually, someone in the crowd realized who the battered man was. Then, a shrill scream tore through the crowd. "Mr. Smith? That's Patrick Smith from Ignis Capital!""Oh my God!" another exclaimed.

The moment I finished speaking, I hurled the box of abortion pills, with Nicole's name printed on it, into her face. The sharp edge of the box cut across her forehead, drawing a thin line of blood. I looked down at her and said, "Your name is right there. Even the date and time match exactly what you just said. So, this is a joke too?"At that, Nicole crumpled to the floor, completely limp. She couldn't get a single word out, and all that escaped her were raw, desperate sobs. Just moments ago, Alice had been screaming that she was going to tear me apart and beat me to death. But now, she had been reduced to stunned silence.She sank to the floor with her mouth hanging open, unable to make a sound. Her face had gone deathly pale, too. Meanwhile, Theodore's face flushed red. He looked like the world's greatest victim, as if he were the one who had been cheated on. "Nicole Reed, you bitch! You ruined my wedding!" he yelled. Theodore sprang to his feet and lunged at her, inte

With the ballroom in chaos and everyone's attention on the brawl, Nicole seized the chance to make her escape. She dropped to all fours and scrambled desperately toward the back exit. "Get that bitch back here!" Ms. Thorne barked, her gaze icy. Two bodyguards dressed in black immediately strode over and grabbed Nicole by the hair. "Let go of me!" she screamed. They dragged her back without mercy, then hurled her to the floor in front of the stage. "Trying to run, huh?"Ms. Thorne sneered before driving the heel of her stiletto into Nicole's face, grinding her cheek into the carpet. "My lawyers filed a police report against you this morning. You ran up half a million dollars on my husband's black card. Either you pay every penny back today, with interest, or I'll make sure you spend the rest of your life behind bars!"Hearing that, Nicole broke down. She screamed hysterically and clung to Ms. Thorne's leg. "I'm sorry, Ms. Thorne! I spent it all on handbags and jewelry. I'l
