<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cassandra, who was standing nearby, was even more upset upon seeing how much attention Nichs was giving to Jocelyn.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Nichs, why are you defending her at a time like this? If she had spoken up earlier, we wouldn’t have been caught off guard, right?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Upon hearing those words, Nichs cast a frosty gaze toward Cassandra.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">In just a fleeting moment, a chill ran down Cassandra’s spine, making her shudder slightly.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Nichs was typically gentle, but for some reason, she felt as if his gaze just now was filled with murderous intent.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Elena was the first to regain herposure, immediately instructing for the projection to be turned off. Then, she addressed those present. “My apologies, that was just a minor hup.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">However, many people, especially some of thepany’s shareholders, were not convinced.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Mdm. Elena, what on earth is going on? How did ourpany’s projects get stolen? Are you just finding out about this now?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“We, the shareholders, aren’t fools, Mdm. Elena. You owe us an exnation”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Remember when you secretly had Nichs take over Nathaniel’s position and got caught? What did you promise us then? You imed that Nichs wouldn’t be any worse than Nathaniel. What about now?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“We are witnessing a drastic decline in our shares, and thepany’s profits are dwindling!”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Some shareholders spoke bluntly. Since their money was all gone, they no longer cared about offending anyone.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Elena’splexion turned gloomy. She was so taken aback that she couldn’t find the words to retort.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">She was beginning to feel some regret now. Back then, Nathaniel was only visually impaired, so he wouldn’t have made such a huge mistake.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">When Robert saw how rapidly things were progressing, he was filled with delight. He stepped forward, feigning concern.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Everyone, please, calm down,” Robert implored. “On my ount, let’s respect my nephew’s wedding. If there are any issues. can we please address them after the ceremony?”</font></font>

<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">The chatter had significantly died down, but there were still some who couldn’t ept the situation. They watched as the stock plummeted continuously, aware that it was their ‘money that was being lost</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cassandra stood beside Nichs, growing increasingly anxious.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Nichs, what should we do?”</font></font>
Logically speaking, a marriage alliance between our two families should be beneficial. So, why is something like this happening at my wedding?
Ralph managed to squeeze his way through the crowd to reach Queenie’s side. “Queenie, are you still mad at me?”
He shamelessly tried to curry favor with Queenie.
Upon hearing his irritating voice, Queenie felt nauseated.
“Didn’t I tell Cassandra? If youe, I won’t be here.”
Ralph didn’t show any signs of anger, forcing a smile. “How could I, as a father, not attend my daughter’s wedding? I wouldn’t want to give people a reason to gossip.”
“I’vee to realize my past mistakes. I never really had feelings for Pa, you know that. Everything I did was for the sake of the Smith family’s wealth.”
Ralph believed he was still as youthful and handsome as he once was. He was convinced that Queenie harbored feelings for him
Little did he expect, in the next moment, Queenie’s bodyguard would forcefully escorted him away, throwing him out.
Cassina watched from the side, a touch of surprise in her eyes. “Mom, what’s this?”
“Remember not to have any expectations or hopes in men,” Queenie cautioned Cassina.
Cassina gave a nod
In truth, Queenie had no feelings for Ralph. It was just that back then, Ralph hade across as incredibly honest and well- behaved. She needed someone to marry, and so she ended up with this good–for–nothing man.
