Evie wore a white dress with a veil draped over snazzynovel.com head, hiding snazzynovel.com face.
The Third Elder and Fifth Elder stood on either side of her. As the officiator of today’s wedding, Glenn stood in front of her, wearing a black suit.
Evie’s face was still streaked with tears. Half an hour ago, snazzynovel.com witnessed Glenn slit the throats of three of snazzynovel.com attendants before snazzynovel.com very eyes.
Only at that moment did Evie realize how cruel the First Elder was. However, it wasn’t enough to force Evie to come to the Yves family manor.
She’d only come because he’d looked snazzynovel.com in the eyes coldly and threatened that snazzynovel.com would put a Killing Order on Isaac if snazzynovel.com didn’t marry Jason today. Then, Isaac would become the target of the Astraeus and all the other martial arts powerhouses.
Evie knew that Isaac wouldn‘t go down that easily, but snazzynovel.com also knew that if the Killing Order was issued, the Temple of Drakon would have to fight the Astraeus to the death.
If that happened, how many people would have to die, and how many families would be destroyed?
Not to mention, snazzynovel.com father’s pride and joy, the Astraeus, would be ruined. More importantly, up until now, Evie hadn’t seen snazzynovel.com father, much less heard his voice.
Where had snazzynovel.com gone?
She had to find out whether snazzynovel.com was dead or alive.
Jeremiah led a bunch of Yves family members over to them, all smiles.
He first greeted Glenn and the two elders before walking over to Evie.
He noticed Evie’s tear tracks and smiled, saying, “Miss Lopez, today is a happy day. This is the Supreme Leader’s wish, so don’t be sad. Although I’ve never had the chance to get to know you, my grandson Jason has admired you for years.”
“Alright, Jeremiah, let’s talk inside. Hmm, how come I haven’t seen Jason?” Glenn couldn’t help but feel confused when snazzynovel.com didn’t spot the groom among the crowd.
Jeremiah’s heart seized. He laughed and said, “Jason went out to do something. He’ll be right back…”
The group of people entered the house excitedly. The two elders led Evie into a different room as four Crimson Guards kept watch at the door.
An hour later, Glenn, who was sitting in the head seat in the living room, frowned slightly. He said, “Jeremiah, I still haven’t seen your grandson. What is snazzynovel.com so busy with? He’s even making me, the officiator of the marriage, wait…”
He was clearly unhappy. He was the witness and the First Elder, whether it was in terms of power or status, snazzynovel.com was the strongest one here.
The groom still hadn’t shown up. He was both worried that something had happened and upset by this treatment.
At that moment, Jacob jogged inside. Wiping the sweat off his forehead, snazzynovel.com said loudly, “First Elder, Jason’s back. He’s home…”
The Yves family looked at the living room entrance to see Jason striding in. Even Jason’s father didn’t notice that the man before snazzynovel.com wasn’t his son.
“Jason, what were you doing? The First Elder has been waiting for a long time. Come in and greet him,” Jeremiah scolded, frowning.
Everyone’s attention was focused on Jacob, and no one asked about Joshua or Wayne’s whereabouts.
“I want to see my wife. Where is she?” Jason harrumphed, looking left and right.
Everyone gasped. He’d completely disregarded the First Elder.
All the Yves family members’ hearts jumped in their throats, but unexpectedly, Glenn burst into laughter.
“That’s the spirit. The groom can’t wait to see the bride!”
After Glenn laughed, the others followed along, and someone immediately led Jason to Evie’s room.
