- 4.
Today is the last day of the wedding
countdown.
It was also the last chance I gave to Jake.
When I was putting on my makeup, Lily sent
me a few text messages.
“What if you get married today? Do you
believe that as long as I show up, he may not
choose you?”
“If you know what’s good for you, you should
give up your seat as Mrs. Jacob sooner rather
than later.”
L
“He doesn’t even love you anymore. Why do
you still occupy the position of Mrs. Jacob? Is
it interesting?”
She was assertive and made no secret of her
ambition.
I looked at Jake hiding on the balcony
answering the phone, looking embarrassed,
and replied to her for the first time.
“As you wish.”
Jake didn’t cherish this last chance. He
indulged the young girl and held a wedding
for just the two of them at our wedding
venue.
く
And made the hotel room their wedding room
and went crazy all night.
On the wedding day, he was busy like nothing
had happened. He even took some time to
watch me put on my makeup.
When I appeared in a beautiful wedding
dress, Jake, who had just hung up the phone,
lit up.
“Brittany, you are so beautiful.”
Jake casually took the gift box from my hand
and asked with a smile.
“What is this?”
I took the box and put it aside.
“A wedding gift for you. Open it at night.”
He reluctantly took my hand and slowly
walked into the wedding venue. The flowers,
lights, and music created just the right
atmosphere.
Feeling the cold sweat in Jake’s palms and
his frequent glances toward the door, I knew
that today’s wedding would not go smoothly.
When it was time to say our vows, I asked
Jake.
“Jake, do you remember what I said when we
<
first got together?”
My question made his heart tighten.
“I hate deception the most. If I ever find out
that you’re lying to me, I’ll make sure you
never find me.”
I slowly curled the corners of my mouth, but
the smile didn’t reach my eyes.
Jake suddenly clenched his phone, his
knuckles turning white from force. After a
long silence, he slowly opened his mouth.
“I love you so much, how could I lie to you?
No way…”
L
I calmly curled the corners of my mouth.
“Good that you remember.”
As soon as the words fell, Lily, wearing a
wedding dress and holding a knife to her
neck, walked in, looking at Jake, who was
about to put a ring on my finger, with red
eyes.
“Honey, in the end, where am I not as good
as her? Can you look at me?”
Jake looked coldly at Lily, whose neck was
bleeding.
“Today is my wedding. I won’t allow anyone to
く
disrupt it. You have to recognize your place.”
He didn’t say the rest, but his trembling hands
had already betrayed him.
The light in Lily’s eyes instantly dimmed, and
her tone was resolute.
“Okay, I said I wouldn’t be a burden. I’ll keep
my word.”
“As long as you’re happy in this life, I’ll have
no regrets even if I die.”
After saying that, she stumbled and ran out.
“Lily! Where are you going!”
<
Jake finally shouted out of control.
Lily didn’t look back, whic
made Jake even
more flustered.
He was afraid of the eighteen–year–old
Brittany disappearing, but he forgot that the
person in his heart was actually twenty–eight.
He had just taken two steps when he
stopped, looking at me with difficulty.
“Brittany, I can explain everything. Can you
wait for me to come back?”
I said lightly.

“Are you sure you want to leave me behind?”
A complicated look flashed across Jake’s
eyes. Then, the way he looked at me
gradually faded away.
“Brittany, you’ve always been very kind in my
mind, but at a time when human life is at
stake, you shouldn’t be asking this.”
After saying that, he rushed to the front door.
After thinking about it, I finally chose to drive
after him.
Ten minutes later, a phone call came in.
<
“Ms. Brittany, all of your identity information
in the United States has been canceled.
Please go to the location we agreed on now.
Our staff is already waiting for you there.”
Half an hour later, the whole internet was
pushing a piece of news.
“Tycoon’s fiancé drives off the Golden Gate
Bridge today. His life and death are still
unknown…”
The next second, Jake’s phone began to pop
up with countless messages.
The man was gently coaxing Lily in his arms,
and was stunned in place when he saw his
<
phone.
