Chapter 606 Heart-Wrenching
Rock also heard the sound of the helicopter and immediately tightened his grip on Winnie's hand. Compared to her restlessness, Rock appeared calm.
A hint of fierceness flashed across his usually gentle expression as he embraced her, a cold smile dancing on his lips. "Winnie, don't fret! I anticipated his arrival and had allies both inside and outside the hotel. It will be a challenge for Lawrence to gain entry. Lymington belongs to the Harrington family; if he dares to intrude, he will face his demise here."
Rock continued, "And I don't believe he would dare to snatch my wife in front of so many people! What can Lawrence do? Would he dare to disregard the reputation of the Rodriguez Group? There are so many reporters covering our wedding!"
Winnie's cherry lips trembled as she pressed them together. Others might not understand Lawrence well, but she did.
She had seen his most erratic behavior. He already had a psychological disorder, and no one knew what he might do.
The wedding was about to take place, she had rescued Oscar, and she didn't want to take any risks.
"Rock, let's leave. I don't want to see him. We can make it up later."
A shadow clouded Winnie's delicate brows.
Rock gave her a complex look and said, "Don't worry too much. Let's first toast to our elders."
He was mindful of Lawrence's skills. While he doubted Lawrence could surpass the numerous bodyguards, he knew that it was not the right moment to directly confront him.
There was still no news from Ronnie's side about making a move.
Lawrence stepped down from the helicopter.
Jeremy called him, " Lawrence, have you not arrived at the scene yet? Please don't go. Rock has organized the wedding in grand style, and photos and videos from the event have already been leaked. He has even invited numerous reporters for live coverage, and news about Winnie's wedding is dominating all major platforms and trending topics. If you doubt me, just check the news. Rock has orchestrated this deliberately. With so many reporters around, I'm concerned that Bob might be the first to spot you. If you cause a scene at the wedding, your father will be beyond angry. Additionally, being part of the leading family, can the Rodriguez family members tolerate you tarnishing the family's reputation? Your actions have an impact on the entire reputation of the Rodriguez family nationwide..."
"Beep-beep—". Lawrence hung up the phone.
Jeremy's breath fell silent, knowing that things were about to take a turn for the worse. His brows furrowed in worry.
Mrs. Rodriguez beside him turned as white as a sheet.
After ending the call, Lawrence stood beneath the helicopter, the clear morning light piercing his eyes. The vast sky above was blinding.
His mind went blank, his fingers stiff as ice, yet he still managed to open the trending topics on his phone.
There was no need to search; netizens enthusiastically discussed the news of Winnie and Rock's wedding. The internet was full of photos of her in a wedding dress, standing in the hotel lobby, holding a bouquet, ready to walk towards Rock.
The sacred prelude of the wedding played in the video... She appeared like a graceful swan, with almond eyes that remained bright and proud, though now adorned with a gentle and affectionate smile.
In her eyes, Lawrence unexpectedly saw a peaceful and happy future.
'How could she marry another man and find happiness?!' Lawrence thought.
The curve of her smile was so alluring.
He recognized her beauty from their first meeting three years ago, leading him to allow her to bear his child. Back then, he believed her genes were exceptional, despite her being a member of the Granger family. He was willing to wear a mask to prevent any potential issues with her.
Heh... The memories before him felt like yesterday. Yet she was about to become someone else's bride!
He couldn't imagine her pledging to the priest and Rock, saying, "I do."
Just the thought of it tore Lawrence's heart apart.
The pain was suffocating, and he thought he would never forget it in his lifetime.
'No.'
'She couldn't marry.'
Lawrence thought to himself.
He would never allow another man to claim his woman. If Rock dared to try to possess her, he would make him regret ever being born!
"Lawrence!" Ray looked at him and said, "Why are you doing this to yourself?"
Lawrence bent over, coughing up a hint of blood. Veins bulged on his forehead, and as he raised his head, his deep pupils were filled with a sense of death.
Like a demon from hell, he silently gazed at the wedding hotel in front of him.
His thin bones creaked as he gestured and said, "Ray, no matter how many bodyguards are inside, assist me in gaining entry. We must put an end to her!
Ray replied, "I'm afraid Rock has set up a trap for you!"
At the wedding banquet hall, Winnie approached Rock. When Elliott placed her hand in Rock's, Winnie whispered, "Rock, ask the host to hurry up, and then I will leave the banquet hall with Sidney."
Rock narrowed his eyes and stated, "I've stationed at least 60 bodyguards. Lawrence hasn't arrived, so he can't enter! But if you're concerned, let's hasten the ceremony."
Winnie turned to Olivia and inquired, "Olivia, where's Sidney?
Olivia, dressed in a bridesmaid's gown, pointed towards Laura and said, "Sidney was very anxious to find you earlier. I had Laura take him to prevent him from getting lost in the crowd."
Winnie nodded. Suddenly, at that moment, the entrance of the banquet hall fell into an abrupt silence!
A tall and terrifying figure strode in, his pace not hurried but urgent and lazy, with a specific and ominous rhythm.
The man possessed a strikingly handsome face that would make anyone pause and admire.
Dressed in a black suit paired with a crisp white shirt, he appeared quite formal. The fitted suit jacket was slightly wrinkled and left unbuttoned, exposing his toned and powerful legs clad in trousers.
Despite his rushed steps and hair falling into his eyes, his noble and aloof demeanor was evident. The man's commanding presence, akin to a snowstorm freezing a thousand miles, quickly quieted everyone present, establishing absolute dominance.
As the strong wind outside caused his shirt to billow, the Windsor knot at his collar remained impeccably in place, framing his face that appeared to have emerged from hell itself.
In Lawrence's eyes, a surge of blood rose, slowly spilling over his pupils, his expression eerily serene.
As he advanced, those nearby involuntarily gasped. The temperature in the banquet hall suddenly dropped.
The strikingly handsome man who had intruded exuded a menacing aura, as though he intended to wreak havoc. Even the most oblivious could sense that he was not there as a mere observer.
In a state of panic, Olivia touched her forehead, realizing that the inevitable had come—Lawrence had arrived! She urgently nudged Winnie's arm, trembling, "Winnie, it's too late! It's him, he's here..." Winnie turned slowly, and amidst the crowd, she gazed towards the man at the entrance.
Silhouetted against the backlight, he appeared blurred, almost like a demon, steadily approaching her and Rock. His intense gaze locked onto her without a word. Winnie noticed blood trickling down the length of his pristine white shirt. Her hand began to tremble.
'This lunatic... despite being blocked by over 60 bodyguards, he somehow managed to breach them!' Winnie thought.
