After saying that, the two of them passed by us, protecting Quinn.
My best friend's tears started falling again at that moment.
I wiped the tears from her face with heartache.
My best friend and I were both girls from ordinary families.
Meanwhile, the Huerta Family was beyond our reach.
Until we accidentally saved Mrs. Huerta's life.
Mrs. Huerta was Garry's mother and Jarvis's grandmother.
It was her who facilitated the marriage between me and my best friend to Garry and Jarvis.
I could feel that Garry liked me a little bit.
But this love was nothing compared to his first love Quinn when she returned from abroad.
In fact, this love even caused my only relative to lose his life.
In the face of the Huerta Family's power, we could not even seek justice for our loved ones.
I hugged my best friend and said, “Let's go, as far away from them as possible.”
We sent our parents' bodies to the funeral home for cremation.
After getting the ashes, we went back to the Huerta Family's old house to meet Mrs. Huerta.
Seeing my best friend and I standing in front of her holding our relatives' ashes, Mrs. Huerta choked up and could not utter a word to plead for us.
She grabbed my hand and my best friend's hand and said something bitterly after a long while, “I am sorry. The Huerta Family is willing to compensate you.”
I smiled bitterly and said, “Mrs. Huerta, no need to do that. We just don’t want to continue this marriage.”
Mrs. Huerta had a complicated look in her eyes and finally returned the marriage certificate my best friend and I had without her agreement.
The Huerta Family was a traditional large family and a marriage certificate should be approved by the head family. If not, then our marriage was not official enough.
I still remembered that Garry and Jarvis expressed their sincerity in marrying me and my best friend.
They wrote a marriage certificate with their own blood, implying that they would be loyal to us forever.
They were sincere to us then. But that sincerity came and disappeared quickly, like an illusory phenomenon.
My best friend and I curled our lips in a wry smile.
That time, without this marriage certificate, Garry and Jarvis were free.
After doing all this, my best friend and I changed out of our wedding dresses.
When we were packing our luggage to leave, Garry and Jarvis came back, bringing back Quinn with him.
