Chapter 240
Despite being one of the Ten Acclaimed Socialites, Zoey had a really nasty temper.
“How stupid. What's the point of doing it after the ceremony? The only way to stop this wedding is to
act before they walk the red carpet! Is that understood?” she scolded.
“Y-Yes, I'll make the arrangements right away!”
Zoey gently swirled the glass in her hand as her lips curled into a malicious smile.
Oh, things are about to get interesting. There's no way the Luther family would be able to continue the
wedding after everyone sees Rhonda having sex with some random stranger! This is what she gets for
stealing my man!
Having lost her patience after waiting seven long years, Zoey was determined to kick Rhonda out of the
Luther family for good.
Meanwhile, a waiter entered the dressing room with a glass of milk on a tray.
“Here you go, Mrs. Luther. Have some milk. You haven't eaten anything all morning.”
Since Rhonda was indeed feeling a little hungry, she took the glass of milk over without giving it much
thought. “Step outside, all of you. I want some time alone.”
“Yes.”
About five minutes later, Rhonda realized something was not right as her body started heating up, and
waves of discomfort swept over her.
Thinking she had yet to recover from her recent miscarriage, Rhonda staggered to her feet and
glanced about. Since there were no restrooms in the dressing room, she lifted the hem of her gown and
went looking outside.
The corridor was completely quiet as she made her way toward the restroom at the end of it.
Suddenly, the door to one of the rooms along the corridor was opened. An arm then reached out and
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdragged her into the room.
“Ah! Help—”
The door closed before she could finish her sentence, and the corridor was plunged into silence once
again.
Meanwhile, Felicity was socializing with a couple of wealthy women when Beatrice politely interrupted
them and pulled her aside.
“It's almost eleven now, Mrs. Luther. Why isn't Artemis here yet?”
“What? It's eleven already?” Felicity paused and glanced at her watch. “Oh, my goodness! I was so
busy socializing with the guests that I forgot about the time! I'll give Artemis a call and ask him where
he's at!”
She then retrieved her phone from her handbag and punched in Artemis' number.
Right as she was about to make that call, the projector on the stage started flickering all of a sudden.
What followed was an ear-piercing buzz and shocking footage.
As the lighting in the footage was bright enough, all the guests were able to see what was going on
clearly.
The sounds of them gasping in shock echoed throughout the hall, and everyone started freaking out
moments later.
“My goodness! Isn't that the bride?”
“Who else would be wearing a wedding gown worth three hundred million?”
“What is she doing? Is she having a quick one before the wedding ceremony? That guy on top of her
doesn't look like Mr. Luther, though...”
“Oh, my... Is she seriously cheating on Mr. Luther in front of everyone?”
Felicity and Beatrice were so shocked that they both froze on the spot.
Standing among the crowd, Gerald simply frowned when he saw the footage.
Clarence, on the other hand, was panicking so much that he felt tempted to just flee the scene.
“Mmph...”
A questionable moan could be heard coming from the speakers, causing the guests to lose their minds
once again.
“Whoa! Did you hear that? She sounds like she's enjoying it!”
“This has got to be the most exciting wedding I've ever been to my entire life! Is this how the most
prominent family in Hallsbay prefers its weddings?”
“What are you guys standing around for? Let's go to the dressing room and watch from there!”
Felicity felt her legs giving out beneath her.
Fortunately, Caridee happened to be nearby and caught her just in time. “Go have a look, Mom! I'll call
Artemis and tell him to come over!”
Gerald came over and helped hold Felicity steady as he said, “Calm down. For now, let's just head over
to the dressing room and find out what's really going on. Caridee, tell Simon to lock the place down and
cut the livestream. After that, you can give Artemis a call.”
“Got it, Dad!”
Meanwhile, in Shelbert Condominium, Artemis and Bailey exchanged glances when they saw the
livestream of the wedding.
“Pfft! Looks like you won't be able to carry out your plan, Mr. Luther! Someone else has made their
move on Rhonda!” Bailey exclaimed with a snicker.
The look in Artemis' eyes turned gloomy as he uttered, “First an abortifacient, and now a knock-out
drug... Just who did Rhonda make an enemy of?”
Bailey froze upon hearing that. “You mean the person who drugged Rhonda is the same one who gave
her the abortifacient a few days ago?”
Artemis shook his head. “I'm not sure. This is just my guess at the moment. I'll need to head over to
Century Hotel and investigate this matter.”
Meanwhile, in the dressing room, Rhonda had truly experienced what it was like to fall from grace as
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmshe lay shivering in Beatrice's arms with a red blanket wrapped around her body.
“You're okay now, Ronni. Everything is all right. Don't be afraid, okay?” Beatrice comforted her, but
Rhonda was in too much shock to hear her.
I can't believe I got violated at my own wedding! This has got to be the most humiliating thing I've ever
experienced! How will I ever recover from this?
Gerald sat in front of her with Felicity, who had passed out from the shock in his arms.
“This isn't Ronni's fault, Mr. Luther. Someone set her up! Luckily for us, we were able to stop it before
things got out of hand. All that's left to do is investigate this matter and find out who did it!” Clarence
mumbled nervously from the side.
Gerald simply kept quiet.
Suddenly, the door to the dressing room was opened, and Simon came in saying, “Dad, we have the
situation outside under control. All the guests and journalists are currently being contained in the event
hall. I have yet to find out who drugged Rhonda, though. Whoever it was did a really good job at
covering their tracks. I can't find anything from the surveillance camera footage, either.”
Gerald nodded. “What about your brother? Is he here?”
“He said he'll be here soon.”
Gerald gave it some thought and told Clarence, “Looks like we won't be able to proceed with this
wedding today. While this incident has brought great shame to both our families, everyone else will
place the blame on your daughter alone if we can't find out who drugged her.”
After hearing that, Clarence went pale instantly
No, this can't be happening! I've been waiting for my daughter to marry into the Luther family for so
many years! Why would something like this happen now?
Rhonda, who had been silent the whole time, stammered all of a sudden, “N-No, I'm not canceling the
wedding! I will become Artemis' bride no matter what!”
