Just then, Charlotte let out a sigh. �Though, you have to be careful around that witch, Everheart. Don�t be fooled by her nonchalant act. She actually has a lot of tricks up her sleeve, you know?�

"Back then, when Briar Desrosiers was pregnant with Stefan�s child, Everheart went as far as to destroy her! So I don�t dare to provoke her either. I�m avoiding her at all costs!�

Ever since Briar lost her place in the family, Charlotte had been meaning to find someone in her circle as a replacement, Ruby was definitely her best option as of now.

Ruby�s beautiful face was brimming with pride and confidence, smiling slyly. �Her tricks are child�s play compared to the entertainment industry! You should know that I managed to work up from the bottom to where I am today, so how could I possibly lose to her?�

In order to prevent more gossip, Renee quickly separated from Stefan and headed straight for the dessert section. She had been starving during their quest to find the seashells and wanted to reward herself in some way.

Seeing how the woman was rushing off, Stefan felt upset but didn�t stop her this time. Instead, he walked backstage to meet with Christopher and the others.

From afar, a figure in white appeared before him. Surprisingly, it was Cecilia in her wedding gown.

Stefan furrowed his eyebrows slightly, his expression distant. �Why are you here?�

Cecilia seemed depressed, on the verge of tears, as she said, �Stef, can we go somewhere private for a bit? I have something to say to you.�

�Just say it here.� Stefan remained cold, keeping his distance from the woman.

�I need to speak to you in private. Please, I�m begging you, or else this wedding can�t go on��

Stefan looked rather hesitant. Many famous figures were present at Christopher�s wedding, and it would be humiliating for the Jacobs if something were to go wrong.

�Stop hesitating, okay? Just take it as a sacrifice for your precious little Chris! I�ll move on after our conversation is done!� Cecilia chewed on her lip as she grabbed Stefan by the arm, heading straight to the VIP room at the side.

Out of consideration for the bigger picture, Stefan reluctantly agreed to follow.

Cecilia shut the door and instantly pounced into the man�s arms. It was as if she had been suppressing all her emotions up till now, sobbing hysterically.

�Stef, I regret everything! I really do! I don�t love Christopher at all. It�s always been you!�

�After breaking up with you, I�ve always dreamed of getting back together with you. I just didn�t think you�d marry so soon! Thank god you�ve divorced now��

Tears continued welling up in Cecilia�s eyes, her expression pitiful as she stared back at Stefan, carefully asking, �What if I told you I wanted to start over? Would you take me away from this wedding?�

�No!" Stefan quickly replied, his voice dismissive.

�Impossible!� Cecilia broke down, wailing at this point. She wrapped her arms around his neck, rubbing her cheek against his as before, hoping to rekindle his love. JrNovels.com
