Chapter 85: She Is as Beautiful as Always
Lariette didn’t let the chaos of the ruined wedding bother her too much. After Stephanie and Samantha left through the back door, she and Ruediger led Chairman Delaney back to the villa.
One thing was for sure—this scandal wouldn’t fade easily.
Both families wouldn’t stop blaming each other as the outsiders gossiped about them.
"Oh... it’s raining."
Sitting by the window in the backseat, Lariette threw her gaze outside. The light pitter patter of the rain began falling from the sky, some showering on the sedan as it sped down the road.
"We didn’t expect any rain these few days," commented Chairman Delaney, also staring at the darkened sky outside, "Wrong case of weather forecast, I think."
Lariette nodded quietly. Her sapphire eyes trailed the passing view of the beach. The ocean lost a little of its shimmering luster under the darkened sky.
Based on the time, all of them should be at the reception hall by now. How conveniently ironic for the rain to fall after Matthias left Stephanie at the altar.
Lariette, Ruediger and Chairman Delaney arrived at the villa in another five minutes. As they walked down the hallway, the elderly man said he would stay in the bedroom until dinnertime.
"Get some rest, Grandpa. Don’t think about anything else, please. Let them settle the mess themselves."
Lariette hugged Chairman Delaney, feeling sorry that her grandfather was unjustly caught in the chaos. Still, she knew that this elderly man wouldn’t simply do nothing.
