Chapter 768
But Megan made him very contemptuous.
He didn't say it outright, as he already held a great deal of respect for the Hernandez family.
"Joseph, the police investigation should be managed in a coordinated manner," Walter began, speaking with a commanding tone. "If Megan is found to have no issues, the wedding will proceed as planned in a few days. As the Hernandez family, we have no shortage of funds for weddings, but the future Mrs. Hernandez must be a woman with no questionable relationships.
"Joseph, do as your grandfather says." Mildred also nodded in agreement.
Mildred and Walter didn't like Megan, but since Joseph insisted on marrying her, they couldn’t do anything. Now that the police were here, if Megan really had an improper relationship with another man, Mildred and Walter would never let Joseph marry Megan again.
Even if he wanted to marry Megan, he had to investigate clearly.
After all, this was Joseph's second marriage. If he divorced again in the future, the Hernandez family would truly become a joke.
Megan panicked, her eyes red. "Grandpa, I know you have never liked me, but today is my wedding with Joseph."
"I said, we, the Hernandez family, are not going back on the wedding. We are also cooperating with the police investigation. If you have no problems, the wedding will still take place." Walter was also annoyed by Megan.
It seemed as if he was deliberately preventing Megan from marrying Joseph.
"Joseph, do as your grandfather says." Mabel also spoke up.
"Let's go." The captain also became impatient, had the two police officers take Megan out, then turned to Joseph and said, "Mr. Hernandez, you may not have realized yet that the foreign man was murdered. This is a criminal case. It is very serious."
Joseph, who had wanted to say something, fell silent instantly.
As a lawyer, Joseph understood criminal matters very well. If the police said the situation was serious, it meant Megan might be sent in jail.
So, it was indeed unlikely for Joseph to keep Megan now.
“Cooperate with the police investigation, Megan," he said gently to her. "I believe in your innocence. I will bail you out soon, and we will postpone the wedding for another day.
"Joseph, I am innocent, Joseph, I'll wait for you."
Hearing Joseph's words, Megan didn't feel comforted but rather very disappointed and anxious.
Megan was overwhelmed with a sense of being lost and anxious like never before. She was terrified at the thought of Joseph discovering her relationship with Rex. However, she knew she couldn't afford to panic, scream, or cry, as that would only further expose her. At that moment, all she could do was hope and pray that the police hadn't uncovered anything.
So that in a few days, she could still marry Joseph.
The wedding came to an abrupt halt.
Joseph quickly calmed down and said to the guests, “Hey everyone, I apologize for the chaos that has disrupted our wedding plans and for inconveniencing you during this busy time. I feel truly sorry and regretful about the situation. While we may have to cancel today's wedding, please feel free to stay and enjoy a meal before departing."
Aiden, seated at the third-to-last table, turned to Cassie and said, "Cas... sie, shall we stay for the meal?"
"Why? It's not like we can't afford a meal."
Cassie put down her cup and got up; after all, she was just here to watch the show.
Having finished watching the show, she was very satisfied and ready to leave.
