"Understood!"
The bodyguards took off their clothes and pounced on Lola.
"No. No-" Lola released a blood-curdling scream. "Lena, you evil b_tch! I'll haunt you even after I die. Ahh-"
Her bone-chilling screams reached every inch of the banquet hall, sending shivers down everyone's spines.
"No, no. It wasn't me…" Lena was petrified and began to screaming in panic, "No, it's not like that. Turn it off. Turn it off!"
Amid her hysterical screams, Harry had already sprinted to the backstage and turned off the projector.
Unfortunately, it was already too late. All the guests had already seen and heard everything. Some of them even recorded it on their phones.
The jubilant and romantic wedding scene abruptly turned into a criminal trial with all the guests as witnesses.
The people in the video were clearly displayed. They were Lola, Lena, and several of the Chromas' bodyguards.
A few of them were even present.
Such a detailed and complex video was impossible to fabricate. Without a doubt, the evidence was conclusive.
Everyone was flabbergasted, including the Staytons and the Chromas.
Carla was stupefied after watching the video. Even though she knew about it a long time ago, she never expected it to be exposed during the wedding. She stared dumbly at the stage, then shifted her gaze to Zayn.
Zayn lowered his head to light the cigarette between his lips, then gracefully took a long drag, as though everything was within his control and was all part of his plan.
"Is this true, Lena?" Brad stood up and confronted her, barely controlling his emotions.
As the only son and backbone of the Chroma family, Brad's question forced her directly into the cusp of public opinion.
"N-No. Brad, listen to me…"
"Miss Chroma, I suggest you remain silent." A senior judicial officer amongst the guests yelled icily, "According to my experience, the video didn't look like a fake. The media live broadcast has already uploaded the video online. I believe that the police will contact you soon."
"No. Judge Loka, I…" Lena attempted to explain herself.
However, the judge was having none of it. He shot to his feet and bowed to Steven and Samuel before politely declaring, "My apologies. I'm a public official, so it's not appropriate for me to attend this wedding. Take care, everyone."
With that, the judge led his family out of the hall.
Other guests with official positions also left one after another. Some had the courtesy to bid the Staytons and the Chromas farewell, while others did not.
In just a few short minutes, most of the guests had already left.
By then, the projector had been switched off and the romantic music resumed playing. Unfortunately, no one was willing to offer them their blessings anymore.
Upon rushing back, Harry saw the dwindling number of guests and tried to persuade them from leaving.
Some of them refused to listen, storming away before he even reached them.
Some angrily scolded him, saying that he was a heartless man for committing such a heinous crime against his first wife just to associate himself with the Chromas.
Some of his relatives advised him against marrying such a vile woman, telling him to cancel the wedding and stay away from the Chromas.
Brad climbed to the stage to question Lena again, demanding if what happened in the video was true.
Lena denied it until the end and furiously lambasted the staff for ruining her wedding and happiness, swearing to make them pay.
The wedding had become a chaotic mess. Carla was still trapped in a daze when Zayn tugged her toward the back door.
Snapping back to her senses, she was about to ask something when she suddenly spotted Simon standing in a corner, glaring at Lena with bitter hatred gleaming in his eyes.
Under her shocked stare, he took out a pair of scissors from his schoolbag and hurtled toward the stage in a crazed manner.
"Simon!" Carla yelled, but her voice was drowned out by Lena's angry shrieks toward the staff.
Simon's little figure streaked through the crowd and bounded onto the stage. At last, the sharp scissors pierced into Lena's stomach. "Just die, you evil woman!"
