This sudden situation caught him rather off guard and left him feeling quite uneasy.

Compared to Xavier, Christopher, who was expected to panic most, looked rather calm as the groom. He stood there emotionless as if this incident had nothing to do with him.

�This is bad! Miss Smith is gone! We could only find her wedding gown in the waiting room!� Someone came delivering the news after a short while.

�Gone?� Xavier grabbed the person by the collar, angrily shouting. �Don�t spread lies! Cecy is the bride here! How could she have gone missing? And she would never take her wedding dress off for no reason!�

�It�s true! If you don�t believe me, just go to the waiting room and see for yourself!�

Xavier then turned to look at Christopher, visibly anxious. �Chris, what are you doing just standing there? This must be a test from Cecy. Let�s go look for her together!�

However, the groom seemed uninterested. �These tests have gone on for an entire day. I�m sure she�s chosen her answer, and I won�t force her to do anything she doesn�t like.�

�Oh man, what are you even saying? She chose you! You�ve been together for so long! You�ve been through so much already, so don�t just give up at the very last second!�

Christopher still didn�t intend to get a move on. Instead, he seemed rather optimistic as he consoled Xavier. �Calm down. She�s an adult. She knows how to take care of herself.�

Hearing this, Xavier found himself speechless.

Christopher then turned to the guests, who were still gossiping amongst each other. �As you can see, it seems that the bride changed her mind about the wedding and chose to leave. I deeply apologize for having wasted your time, so let�s treat this as a simple gathering hosted by the Jacobs! Please do enjoy yourselves!�

�These youngsters are still too immature. We are truly sorry, everyone.� Christopher�s parents maintained a humble demeanor as they bowed toward the guests, despite feeling absolutely ridiculed in this situation.

With this, the chaotic mess soon subsided.

Suddenly, someone stood up from the crowd, announcing. �The bride didn�t leave on her own!

Someone else is behind this!�

The guests gasped in shock as they looked toward the person who was speaking. It was Ruby, the.woman who had managed to win the best actress award last year.

At the time, Ruby was sitting right next to Charlotte, which meant that she was sitting in the same row as Stefan and Renee.

She kept a low profile the whole time, silently sitting next to them without causing a ruckus. Hence, she was able to watch as the two interacted with each other.

From an outsider�s perspective, Stefan and Renee acted as if they were sworn enemies. However, Ruby�s sharp observation skills notice the special relationship between them, which made their banter seems rather flirtatious.

She was consumed by jealousy, which strengthened her determination to take Renee down. JrNovels.com
