Chapter 347
Peter Moore’s gaze was fixed on Jessica Rodriguez.
The moment their eyes met, Jessica could see the amazement in his eyes.
He must have liked her looks today.
The red carpet was only a few hundred feet long.
However, Jessica seemed to have a flashback of the first half of her life when she walked the carpet.
She had been a despised illegitimate daughter since she was born.
Although she had no choice in this matter, others would not let her off…
Mockery, humiliation, and beating were the norms of Jessica’s life.
Even her biological father felt that she was a stain on the family.
Jessica always thought that she was born to atone for her sins.
She did not deserve any feelings from others.
Then Marina Bailey appeared in her life.
So did Peter Moore.
One gave her the courage to face the world.
The other gave her hope to live on.
Jessica’s life would be rewritten when she finished walking the red carpet. It would be a brand new chapter for the future.
She would no longer be the illegitimate daughter who had to hide in the dark.
She would become Miss Rodriguez.
She would become Mrs. Moore.
She might even become a mother in the future..
Even a grandmother at some point.
“I would wait until my hair turns gray,” Jessica thought.
“And recall this moment with Peter; we would probably just laugh it off.”
The distance between them shortened as Jessica walked down the aisle.
She was about to reach Peter at the end of the red carpet.
He reached out to her with a gentle smile.
Jessica thought she would be able to jump out of her quagmire past when she grabbed his hand.
“Grab his hand!” she thought.
“Grabbed him lightly!”
Just as Jessica reached out to grab her redemption.
A flash suddenly appeared on the big screen behind Peter Moore.
Almost immediately, the looped photos playing turned into a video.
Everyone’s attention was instantly affixed to the screen.
Jessica also looked up.
The resolution of the video was not good, as if it was taken from some surveillance footage.
However, it was still visible to make out the people in it.
Chapter 347
Peter Moore sat in the middle of the crowd in the video.
The surroundings were noisy and chaotic.
It was obviously a bar.
At this point, Peter noticed everyone’s strange expressions and turned around to look at the big screen.
His face turned from confusion to a white sheet when he saw the video.
“Turn it off; quickly turn off the video!” Peter shouted to the emcee beside him.
The emcee was equally dumbfounded by what happened.
He was taken aback; the video was not part of the rehearsal.
Judging from Peter’s anxious look, the emcee immediately left to look for help.
But it was too late.
The person in the video had already begun to speak.
“Mr. Moore, if you can get that girl just now, I’ll give you my new sports car!”
“Why are you rushing to give him a gift?”
“Everyone knows about Mr. Moore’s prowess. There’s no girl in this world that he can’t get.”
“Let’s wait and see. Mr. Moore, don’t make me regret offering you the gift!”
Peter did not utter a word.
Everyone present in the bar burst into laughter.
Jessica’s bright smile and eager anticipation immediately took a dive.
The smile on her face froze.
Her smile then started to retract as if it was being played in slow motion.
Immediately after, Jessica’s face turned pale; she looked like she was about to faint at any moment.
Meanwhile, she hoped she was deaf.
The laughter from the video was like a sharp knife.
It stabbed deeply into her heart.
Jessica suddenly recalled the scene.
She seemed to have gotten played by Peter’s friends back then.
She left the bar and ran away in a hurry.
Jessica did not expect the men to use her name in vain to make a bet after she left.
“Jessica, don’t look, don’t listen!” Peter looked even paler than her.
He stepped forward and wanted to block the video behind him. Alas, how could a small figure block such a giant screen?
The video behind him quickly changed to another scene.
The people present were still the same.
The background was still a noisy bar.
All except the clothes were different.
Evidently, the video was taken on a different day.
Like in the last video, Peter sat in the middle of the crowd.
“Mr. Moore, any progress on your end? My sports car is parked in my garage. Do you still want it?”

“What’s the hurry? I’m about to get it.” Peter then leaned leisurely on the sofa behind him.
He casually swirled the wine glass in his hand.
“Wow, are you still at first base? Have you kissed her?” The crowd gathered with interest when they heard Peter.
“How dare you insult him, you moron? At least fourth base, right, Mr. Moore?”
Peter smiled without saying a word.
But the look on his face confirmed the speculation.
“Mr. Moore, speak up! Show some evidence if you have gotten her in bed. Otherwise, I won’t give you my car.”
“Show him some evidence, Mr. Moore, and make him admit defeat!”
“That’s right!”
The men egged Peter on.
The rest of the crowd agreed in unison.
Peter looked a little dazed as he watched the crowd jeer.
He slowly took out his cell phone.
He seemed to be searching for something on the screen.
A young woman next to him suddenly snatched his cell phone away.
She quickly assessed his gallery photos.
Moments later, she raised Peter’s cell phone in front of everyone.
The phone happened to be facing the camera.
Everyone in the wedding hall saw the photo on the screen clearly.
It looked like a private photo of sorts.
The woman in the photo only wore a shirt that reached her thighs.
The shirt was obviously not hers.
She looked like she had just taken a shower.
Her hair was still wet.
Therefore, she did not wear anything under her clothes.
Although it was not clearly visible, her naked body under the clothes still stirred up some primal reaction among the audience.
Jessica’s body repeatedly teetered when she saw the image on the big screen.
Peter Moore took that photo of her.
Jessica had just come out of the shower and did not bring her pajamas. Peter lent her his clothes instead.
After putting on Peter’s clothes, Jessica felt uneasy and embarrassed to leave the bathroom.
However, Peter told her not to be bashful as no one else was in the house except them.
“He also refused to get her any pajamas.
Hence, Jessica had no choice but to bite the bullet and come out of the bathroom.
Peter was bedazzled the moment she stepped out.
He quickly took a picture of her in his clothes.
Jessica wanted him to delete it immediately.
But Peter said he would only keep the photo for himself.
Chapter 347
Moreover, it would be locked, and no one else would see h
He promised he would be the only one who would see the photo.
Jessica stared at the big screen behind Peter with bloodshot eyes.
