Chapter 766
Aiden smiled, "I told Tyler's dad to let Tyler and Cassie spend some time together."
The Hernandez family fell silent instantly. Although the Bennett family wasn’t as prominent as the Hernandez family, they were also prestigious. Moreover, Cassie was now very noble, so it was normal for the Bennett family to consider marrying her.
Celeste was momentarily speechless, feeling a twinge of resentment. She couldn't believe that Cassie, despite being abandoned, was still so charming.
On the other side, Joseph raised his glass in a toast to the guests but kept a watchful eye on Cassie. As Tyler approached, Joseph involuntarily tightened his grip on the wine glass.
"Joseph, Lucas."
Suddenly, Michael hurriedly appeared. He was still wearing yesterday's clothes, which was wrinkled and had a smell of alcohol.
Lucas glanced disapprovingly at Michael. "Look at yourself. At least change your clothes."
"I was not in the mood to change clothes. I'm so angry," Michael said irritably. "I..."
“The ceremony is about to begin. We can now bring out the bride," the emcee interjected, interrupting Michael.
Michael looked frustrated, but no one paid him any attention.
"Alright." Joseph nodded and instructed Lucas and Michael to escort Megan.
At 12:18, the wedding ceremony began on time.
Megan, dressed in a magnificent palace-style wedding gown, slowly walked out amidst the sprinkled pink petals. She wore a crown adorned with countless diamonds, making the women attending the wedding envious.
Megan walked into the white pavilion and came face to face with Joseph.
He stood there in a custom-made white suit, emitting an extraordinary aura akin to that of a handsome and dazzling sun god.
Megan's heart was racing.
She had waited so long for this day, and now it had finally arrived.
Megan couldn't help but glance at Cassie on the grass.
In the end, Joseph was about to marry her.
In the future, she and Joseph would have children, and Joseph would be all hers.
"Joseph..." Megan looked affectionately at Joseph.
Joseph felt conflicted. He had decided long ago to marry Megan, as it was a wedding he owed her. However, at this moment, he felt incredibly uneasy.
The emcee held the microphone and started to inquire, "Mr. Hernandez, do you accept Miss Ray as your wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, until death do you part?
"I..." Joseph clenched his fist, about to say "I do."
Suddenly, a group of police officers burst in from outside.
"Sorry, police," a captain approached Megan and said, "Miss Ray, two days ago, we discovered the body of a foreign man by the river. We believe his death may be connected to you. Please come to the station to help us with our investigation.”
The guests were all shocked.
Megan felt as though she had gone from heaven to hell. Her expression soured as she retorted, "I have no idea what you're talking about. I don't know any foreign man.”
