Chapter 457: A Leap Down
"What?" Elodie was stunned for a moment before she realized, "Wade."
Wade had been wandering outside for a few years, and when he was brought back, his mental state was not normal. But at this moment, Wade's voice sounded like that of a normal person.
Before Elodie could ask, she heard a few coughs from the other end of the phone.
She recognized it as Bruno's voice, asking, "What's wrong with Dad?"
"Oh." Wade's voice was very flat, devoid of any emotion, "Mr. Black is sick. I'm about to take him to the hospital."
"Dad is sick?" Elodie was skeptical, "I saw him this morning; he was fine. How did Dad suddenly get sick? What's wrong?"
"Well, that needs to be checked by a doctor to know." Wade answered.
"Wade." The call was disconnected while Elodie was talking.
When Elodie called back, no one answered.
Downstairs, the guests were filling the hall, and everything seemed to be proceeding in an orderly manner.
It seemed that no one noticed the groom being taken away by an ambulance.
No one knew that the bride was locked in a room on the second floor.
But on the big screen, wedding photos of her and Richard were still being played, and the guests were drinking and chatting. This scene appeared so bizarre to Elodie.
Suddenly, she remembered something and then called Esme.
Strangely enough, it was her wedding day, but she hadn't seen Esme all day.
Initially, Elodie thought Esme might be busy entertaining guests, but at this moment, Elodie felt something was wrong.
The phone rang a few times before it was answered.
"Mom, where are you? Do you know Dad is sick? An ambulance just came. Did you hear it? Richard was stabbed. Michael locked me in a room." Elodie said a lot, only to realize there was no sound from the other end. "Mom? Why aren't you saying anything?"
"Elodie. Esme is with me. What do you want to say?" Wade replied.
"Wade?" For some reason, a sense of fear arose in Elodie's heart, "Why do you have my mom's phone? Where is she?"
"Esme is taking care of Mr. Black." Wade answered.
"Give the phone to my mom. I want to talk to her." Elodie said hastily.
"OK." Wade didn't refuse her, seemingly handing the phone to Esme.
"Elodie." Esme's voice came through, urgent and distressed.
"Mom." Elodei asked.
"Elodie, run!" Esme shouted.
The call was disconnected again.
When Elodie called back, she couldn't get through.
Esme's words kept echoing in her ears.
Esme told her to run? What did that mean?
Today was her wedding day. She was the bride. Where was she supposed to run to?
Suddenly, the wedding march from downstairs floated in through the window.
Elodie exchanged a horrified look with the maid locked in the room with her.
According to the schedule, the wedding march was played when the bride made her entrance. But the bride was still in the room, so why was the march being played downstairs?
"Hurry! Push me over to take a look!"
The maid, filled with curiosity, didn't dare to delay, quickly pushing the wheelchair to the window.
The two of them leaned out to look.
The maid's face instantly turned as pale as paper.
Elodie, too, was shocked, her brows furrowing tightly.
In the garden below, two maids were carrying two paper effigies onto the stage.
One of the effigies was made using a photo from Elodie's wedding dress photoshoot.
Looking around, the white silk had all turned into black fabric.
"What is going on?" Elodie's voice trembled.
Elodie couldn't care about anything else. She stood up from the wheelchair, grabbed the window, and shouted, "Who's playing tricks? I'm Elodie, I'm here! Why are you decorating my wedding like this?"
Maybe the music downstairs was too loud, but Elodie's voice didn't catch anyone's attention. Her voice was soon drowned out by the music.
Elodie turned to glare fiercely at the maid.
The maid shrank back under Elodie's glare, "Ms. Black, are you a human or a ghost?"
"What do you think?" Elodie had put on beautiful makeup, but her expression was so ferocious at the moment that the maid really thought she looked like a vengeful ghost.
The maid became even more frightened and backed away, not daring to approach Elodie.
"Come here!" Elodie shouted. Seeing the maid continuously retreating, Elodie angrily went forward to grab her.
The maid screamed in terror, turned, runnnig out of the room.
Strangely, Michael didn't stop the maid.
But when Elodie rushed out, Michael blocked her.
It was clear that Michael was only targeting Elodie.
The wedding downstairs continued.
As soon as the maid got downstairs, she was knocked out from behind by Michael's men and taken to a room to rest.
Elodie stood by the window, half of her body leaning out. She watched helplessly as her bizarre wedding with Richard took place in front of everyone.
It seemed that in everyone's eyes, she was already dead.
"No, that's not it! I'm still alive I'm right here! You idiots, are you all deaf? Look up!"
Elodie screamed in near despair, but it was useless. It was as if she was truly isolated from the world. Except for Michael at the door, no one could hear her.
Even though she was wearing a white wedding dress, climbed onto the windowsill, screaming hysterically, she was still ignored.
"Everyone's gone crazy!" Elodie grabbed her hair toring at her dress, feeling like her world was collapsing.
Finally, she jumped from the upstairs.
A white figure drew a beautiful arc in the air.
Blood splattered on the spot.
Isabella had come with Quentin.
Before leaving, Quentin had someone meticulously dress her up.
Everything she wore was in Lova's style.
Even Isabella's hair had been extended overnight.
Looking at her face, completely made up to resemble Lova, Isabella could hardly recognize herself.
Isabella really saw Lova's shadow in herself.
At the same time, Isabella was secretly alarmed. If she hadn't stayed clear-headed, if Quentin's hypnosis had succeeded, she would have become a completely fabricated Lova.
Isabella didn't expect Quentin to bring her to Elodie's wedding.
During this time, Isabella had been under house arrest, but she had seen the news about Richard and Elodie's wedding on TV.
Isabella was full of doubts. 'How did things turn out like this?'
Isabella wanted to ask Richard in person, but she didn't expect to see Elodie, dressed in a wedding gown, jump from upstairs as soon as she arrived.
Strangely, the guests clearly saw it but pretended not to.
Elodie's white wedding dress was quickly stained red with blood.
At this moment, Michael came out with his men.
