Chapter 144
By the time Sebastian returned to Ravenview City, it was already 4:00 am. Hydra had been waiting at the exit for a while.
“Head to the Smith residence!” Sebastian said urgently after getting in the car.
Hydra panicked. “O Supreme One, Ms. Smith is no longer there.”
“Then, where is she?” Sebastian asked hurriedly.
“The Walter family’s people already took her to Wave City last night!” Hydra said.
“Go to Wave City right away! Also, prepare another coffin!” Sebastian ordered coldly. He had believed this issue would be over when he ruined the engagement the other day.
However, he hadn’t expected Lionel to be so stubborn and refuse to give up on Lillian. He even skipped the engagement and went straight to the wedding instead. Lionel truly had a death wish for trying to take his woman away from him.
Wave Hotel was the largest and most luxurious five–star hotel in Wave City. It was one of the Hunter family’s businesses. The hotel had been closed to the public for the past two days because Lionel, the eldest son of the Walter family, was holding a wedding.
The Walter family was initially one of the four prestigious families in Ravenview City, but later on, they moved to Wave City to develop their business. Now, they were a first–class family in Wave City.
In addition, Lionel was an executive of Phoenix Corporation, so the Hunter family prioritized his needs and vacated the entire hotel free of charge.
In the presidential suite, Lillian was sitting in front of the dressing table in a white wedding dress. Getting married was the happiest moment in a woman’s life, but at this moment, she looked haggard, with no trace of joy on her face.
“Oh, Lili. You look so beautiful!” Lionel said, his gaze intense. He leaned down to kiss her cheek, but Lillian quickly stood up and avoided his touch.
Lionel’s expression darkened. “Lili, we’re getting married. Can’t I show you a little affection?”
“I’m going to be yours after the wedding anyway. Can’t you wait a little longer?” Lillian retorted.
Lionel was speechless, but in reality, he was also annoyed. Lillian had agreed to marry him because he promised to spare Sebastian’s life if she did. If it hadn’t been for that, there was no way she’d marry him.
Even though their wedding was about to begin, Lillian still refused to let him touch her. Anyone would be upset at that.
“I’m going to mess you up on our wedding night!” Lionel thought viciously.
Soon, he left the room to greet the guests.
There were many guests. Basically, all the members of the top families in Wave City were at the venue, as well as the big families in Ravenview City.
Any one of these guests was a well–known figure, and someone like Clement wouldn’t even be among their ranks.
“Congratulations, Mr. Lionel.” Jordan approached Lionel with Lyra to congratulate him.
“Thank you! I’m sure your wedding is also coming soon, right?” Lionel glanced at Lyra with a trace of intensity in his gaze.
Although Lyra didn’t look as good as Lillian, she was still among the best–looking women.
Moreover, Lyra and Lillian were two completely different types of people. Lillian was an ice queen, while Lyra was passionate and enthusiastic, often exuding sultry in her speech and movements. She would definitely be a very enjoyable woman to fool around with.
“We’re not in a rush. We’ll deal with it later on,” Jordan said half–heartedly. He did plan to marry Lyra initially, but in the past few days, he had heard some rumors about her, saying that she had been with several men. If those rumors were true, he would just be a cuckold if he married her.
As Ronan and Evelyn were the bride’s parents, many people came to congratulate them as soon as they showed up. This made them overjoyed. Ever since the Smith family fell from grace, many people from the great families never paid any attention to them.
But now, even the top families in Wave City were coming to butter them up, and this moment of glory was thanks to their new son–in–law, Lionel.
“The time has come! Let us welcome the bride and groom!”
The wedding was a traditional wedding. When the emcee finished speaking, Lionel, who was already ready, slowly walked into the room with Lillian.
Lillian was known as the belle of Ravenview and was also second to none in Wave City. In addition, she was wearing a beautiful wedding gown, making her look like a fairy. She looked breathtakingly beautiful.
All the men were stunned at the sight, and they bore an unconcealable hint of passion in their gazes. Other than some relatives, all of them had impure feelings for her, “She’s so pretty! She looks just like a fairy!”
“As expected, the belle of Ravenview lives up to her name. If I could marry such a beautiful woman, I wouldn’t mind dying young.”
“She’s so beautiful that anyone would be happy to get even a fraction of her beauty.”
There were snany women present, but their beauty was nothing compared to Lillian’s.
At this moment, Lionel was excited because the woman he had longed for was about to become his wife.
“Your weakling gift has arrived!” Just as Lionel was about to exchange rings with Lillian, a group of people barged into the venue.
The man leading them was a man in a black trench coat. The man had a resolute expression and a sharp gaze.
Next to the man was a young woman with a red leather jacket and leather pants. Every part of her was beautiful, especially her long legs. Just looking at her was enough to make the men’s minds wander. They were eager to show her a good time.
There were also four people behind them, carrying a coffin.
