Chapter 257 A Wedding in Shambles
Finished
Elsie continued, saying, “Today is Paul’s wedding. Of course Yunice wouldn’t be happy. So I think her mission today was to run away from her own wedding to ruin your reputation and please Paul,” Elsie said.
Then she glanced at Wyatt and added in a whisper, “She stayed by your side for so long just for this day. She’s loved Paul for over ten years. You’re just a few days.”
Even Carl couldn’t stand what she was saying anymore and snapped at her with a cold voice, disgusted by her scheming.
Wyatt’s lips were drawn into a thin line. He didn’t say a word.
Just then, Jordan burst back in. He glanced at everyone in the room before carefully informing Wyatt, “Wyatt, Paul Powell is also missing from his wedding. The Powell family has already called off the ceremony.”
Everyone reacted differently to the news, and no one dared to speak.
Except for Elsie, who gave everyone a wicked look and muttered, “I wasn’t lying. My sister left on her own. She doesn’t want to marry Mr. Cooper.”
Wyatt curled his finger.
“Someone come here.”
Elsie instinctively recoiled in fear. But Wyatt pointed at her.
“Sew her mouth shut.”
Elsie went completely pale.
Wyatt adjusted his collar in annoyance and stormed out of the room.
“Find Paul Powell. If you can’t find him, find his father.”
He was beyond angry.
Jordan followed cautiously. Everything that needed to be arranged had already been done. But…
He reminded Wyatt quietly, “The guests are still waiting. If this drags on, people will start talking.”
Wyatt stopped in his tracks, his head bowed with a dark expression.
Jordan knew he was trying to think of a solution. He couldn’t help but ask, “Wyatt, is it possible that Elsie is telling the truth? Ms. Saunders and Paul have been engaged since childhood. She’s always thought of him as her future husband. They’d done everything couples do. The only thing

Wyatt’s face grew colder. He gave Jordan a sharp look.
“Are you tired of having a mouth?”
Jordan remained silent.
Why couldn’t I just tell the truth…
The search was still on.
Finished
To keep it quiet, they had to search discreetly, avoiding any public announcements that might cause a scandal.
They even tracked the surveillance footage from the Powell wedding, but it stopped where the roads became too narrow to follow.
Everyone at the Powell banquet was still waiting. Time passed, and the whispers among the guests grew louder.
Jordan suggested, “Wyatt, maybe we should make an excuse and get through first.”
Wyatt didn’t respond, which meant he didn’t agree.
Jordan looked around the banquet hall again, now completely at a loss.
“Actually, I think Madam Lily’s idea might work. We could have Elsie step in and make the toast. No one saw Ms. Saunders clearly during the ceremony anyway, what with the veil and the distance…”
The wedding toast was for the newlyweds to accept the blessings of the elders and guests. It was also a way to introduce the bride to the groom’s circle.
But Yunice was missing.
Wyatt couldn’t make the toast alone, but it would be rude not to.
Jordan was practically tearing his hair out.
“No, no, Elsie won’t do. You just ordered someone to sew up her mouth. How is she supposed to go out with you bleeding like that?”
Argh, this was maddening.
Jordan almost wanted to put on the veil herself and go with Wyatt.
Wyatt looked at his watch again…

She hadn’t left the hotel. She was in one of the elevator control rooms.
The room was cramped and easily overlooked, as if it had been made to be forgotten.
Her eyebrows were furrowed as she glared at Paul with obvious disgust.
“Do you have any idea what you’re doing?” Yunice asked.
Paul sat across from her in his white tuxedo.
Finished
He is undeniably handsome. At school, he was always the popular one. Everyone knew he had a fiancée, but that didn’t stop anyone from pursuing him.
Because Paul never stood up for her. So no one took the fiancée seriously.
And today, Yunice saw her past self reflected in Taylor.
Paul Powell is really an awful partner.
Even someone as wild and unruly as Wyatt managed to follow all the traditions on our wedding day, every little detail in place.
But Paul had left his bride behind just to mess with me.
Even if it meant that his bride would be criticized or looked down upon.
Now, not only had he ruined his own wedding, he wanted to ruin mine.
