Chapter 599
"Everyone else, please step back," Albert said.
What kind of messed-up order was this?
Cole and Phoebe accompanied Mila off the stage.
Then, the music started. Yale went up from one end of the corridor while Fenna walked up to the stage.
There was no sense of ritual at all.
Lillian was furious as she watched the chaotic entrance ceremony on the stage. She was embarrassed. She didn't know whether to start over or wait on stage.
Ever since she stepped onto the stage and scolded Albert, her wedding had turned into a joke.
With a forced smile, Yale walked onto the stage. He took Lillian's hand and comforted her, "Lillian, it's okay. As long as we're together, it doesn't matter who's the best man or maid of honor. "The wedding is not important either. What's more important is you."
Hearing his words, Lillian calmed down. She finally smiled.

Fenna was still expecting sother interaction with Nathan, but Albert took out his script and started reciting congratulatory words.
After a long stretch of congratulations, he immediately said, "The bride and groom will exchange rings."
It caught Fenna and Lillian off guard.
Things didn't go like this during rehearsal. They were supposed to talk about each other's good qualities, how they met and fell in love.
Then, the bride and groom, along with the best man and maid of honor, were supposed to play games. Only then would they exchange vows and rings.
But a big part of it was skipped.
Lillian was furious. She gritted her teeth and angrily asked Albert, "Can you even host? We didn't even talk about how we fell in love or do anything else. How can we exchange rings now?" Ignoring her, Albert smiled politely.
He announced, "Best man and maid of honor, please give the rings to the bride and groom."
Fenna was disappointed, so she hesitated to give the ring box to Lillian. She gritted her teeth as she glared at Albert.
Nathan took out the ring box from his pocket and handed it to Yale.
Yale accepted and took out the ring. He didn't care about the process he only cared about the result. As long as they could get married, it was fine. For him, how they got there wasn't important.
The audience looked at Fenna, feeling like she was being weird. All she did was glare at Albert. She was not as pretty as Mila; no wonder she wasn't allowed to play games on stage.
Fenna felt annoyed. But with Albert in control, she couldn't do anything. She could only give the ring box to Lillian.
Lillian murmured, "Fenna, don't be disappointed. I'll give you another push."
Fenna nodded.
Lillian took out the ring.
"The bride and the groom have chosen to exchange rings to symbolize their commitment to each other," Albert announced.
Nathan took out a handkerchief from his pocket before inching closer toward Yale.
Just as the two exchanged rings, Yale gasped and furrowed his brow in pain.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmUpon a closer look, there was a tiny needle inside the ring, which pricked Yale's finger and made him bleed.
Before they could react, Nathan quickly grabbed Yale's hand with the handkerchief.
The audience didn't clearly see what had happened. They only knew Nathan suddenly wrapped Yale's hand in the handkerchief.
Yale looked at Nathan warily.
Nathan pulled back his hand again,
then swiftly put the blood-stained
handkerchief into his pocket. Subsequently, he took out a clean handkerchief and covered Yale's finger again.
"Still bleeding," Nathan said.
Yale was nervous. He hurriedly snatched the handkerchief from Nathan.
Albert said, "They're already done exchanging their rings. Best man and maid of honor, please step down."
Lillian and Fenna were taken aback. Their faces pale as they glared at Albert intensely.
What was going on? Had he skipped all the wedding entertainment again?
Fenna was on stage for less than a minute. She was called off the stage immediately after presenting the rings, having no presence whatsoever.
