Chapter 881 Last Chance
Lyle saw the wedding invitation on the coffee table and picked it up. He opened it and showed it to the others.
He said, "Look, the invitation doesn't have photos of the bride and groom or their names. Doesn't this seem familiar?"
It did feel familiar.
William's eyes darkened.
Lyle continued, "Remember when Emelie's sister, Eliana, got married, it was all hush-hush as well? Even if they changed the bride or groom at the last minute, no one would know."
If the bride and groom were indeed Wesley and Emelie, it would be stated in the invitation. The Filo family had invested enormous resources into this wedding, aiming for perfection. They wouldn't neglect something as minor as an invitation.
So, it was intentional. The groom being changed was a premeditated move.
Lyle set the invitation aside and finished his tea. 'Samuel is not Wesley. When he marries, it will be a genuine union."
"They'll be a real couple!" Patrice added.
Lyle said, 'Will, Samuel is different. He's Emelie's savior. Back then, he took her in when she couldn't find work after you blacklisted her. He's the only one who knew she survived three years ago.
"Not to mention, he injured his leg for her. She spared the Swanson family and Bryan because of him. Their bond is real!*
They weren't afraid if Emelie married her brother, but they would if she married a man she had feelings for. To be blunt, if Emelie married Wesley, the marriage might just be platonic. But if she married Samuel, they would surely have children early and grow old together. Emelie would truly belong to another man by then.
William's hand, which was holding the napkin, froze as he stared at the invitation. Complex emotions surged like waves in his eyes.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
Lyle repeated, "Their bond is real."
William replied with composure, "Not only that. Back then, when she refused to reconcile with Elena, who harmed her, it was Samuel's call that made her relent."
William had always known that Samuel liked Emelie.
Patrice clutched her head. "That won't do. Given their current circumstances, the Swanson family can't protect Emelie. Marrying Samuel might be worse than marrying Lyle!"
Lyle chuckled. "I wish I could, but I don't have a chance."
All jokes aside, Lyle said, "Will, if you want to do something, now's the time. It's your last chance."
The wedding was happening tomorrow.
William closed his eyes. "What can I do? Kidnap the bride? Even if she came with me, what could I offer her?" He smiled self-mockingly. "I don't have long to live, as you know."
At these words, both of them fell silent.
Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the night in Mercianna remained serene. The moon shone quietly above the colorful neon lights.
No matter how the world changed, the moon remained a constant. It rose and fell in its own time, regardless of anyone or anything. Similarly, tomorrow would come.
Security personnel were busy overseeing the security of all aspects of the wedding, including the venue, vehicles, and guests.
Household staff came and went, checking everything related to the wedding and adjusting everything that was within reach
They were so meticulous that they would even ensure every flower was facing the right way. No error was allowed, as they all strived to ensure the wedding's flawless execution.
The bride's room on the second floor was also brightly lit.
