The bodyguards, spurred on by Ethan’s orders, continued their rampage. Objects were smashed to pieces, leaving only the empty casket standing alone in the wreckage.
In desperation and anger, I fought to break free from the bodyguards and made a beeline for Ethan.
I tried to grab the phone he was using to livestream, but a swift guard stopped me.
I was forcefully thrown aside, landing heavily on the ground.
As I lay there, blood trickling from my mouth, I glared at Ethan with a mix of rage and despair.
Ethan’s face contorted with disdain. “Still trying to put up a fight? Is this your usual arrogance?”
“You really think you can hurt me? You’re just a powerless woman, desperate to play the role of a ‘good wife’ in a relationship that you’re not even part of.”
With a malicious grin, he picked up a wine bottle from the floor and smashed it against the edge of a table. The shards flew towards me.
“Let’s see how you attract anyone with a disfigured face!”
The bottle shattered, sending a sharp piece slicing across my face.
Blood began to trickle down, painting a horrific, bloodstained scene.
He turned the camera back to my face.
“Feeling good? Enjoying yourself? It’s probably more exciting than interfering in other people’s relationships, isn’t it?”
“Look, everyone. This is what happens to a homewrecker!”
“The rule of law protected you. Otherwise, a woman like you would be in serious trouble!”
The hall was in utter disarray, with no place left to stand.
The floor was a mess, and the guests, with nowhere to go, huddled in the corners, trembling.
Ethan looked at my daughter’s memorial photo, sneered suddenly, and yelled, “Smash it! Not a single photo should be spared!”
I was stunned and shouted back.
“Don’t!”
“You can’t do this! It’s an insult to my daughter, and you’ll be punished for it!”
The bodyguards hesitated, unsure, and stopped in their tracks.
My heart was pounding, and I held my breath, afraid he might snap and destroy my daughter’s memorial photo.
Ethan looked at me with a cold, expressionless face, then suddenly sneered with a cruel smile. “Are you trying to threaten me?”
His dark gaze made me freeze.
“Go ahead!”
“I’ll handle the consequences. But if you don’t act, don’t expect any money!”
The bodyguards exchanged worried glances, clearly afraid to defy him.
I fought my way free from the bodyguard restraining me and stumbled toward the altar.
But I was too late.
