Chapter 541: Shock
Autumn was in shock. Or maybe she was dreaming or in a nightmare. She had no idea. She had been walking around in a daze since this afternoon. She stared at the shiny fork sitting in front of her as if it would answer all her questions.
Pierce and Bianca... The very fact that she could not process their betrayal and cry was proof that she was numb at the moment. It was okay if they wanted to marry each other. One was the boy she loved and the other, her best friend. She would have wished them happy if they had told her. But why did they do what they did today?
They planned to hurt her. It was a carefully calculated way to hurt her. And she couldn’t understand why. When she’d left B town, it had been these two who had suported her, truste her. Pierce had voewd that he loved her, had always been talking to her on the phone, emails, etc. He’d even confessed his love and proposed on the phone! And he was the one who had said that she should meet him at the courthouse today.
She shuddered as she thought back to the scene from this afternoon. She’d been sitting for almost an hour then, when she first saw Pierce walking towards her. He’d looked so handsome, dressed to the nines in his suit. The relief and happiness she’d felt at that moment...
Then she saw his cousins. They were following him, all well dressed as well and she felt some more warmth. So Mrs Pearl had not approved their marriage but Pierce’s cousins had all come out to support him. She smiled at Pierce when he looked her way, but suddenly, he jerked his eyes away, turning his head to the side.
And that was when she had seen... Biance dressed in an all white lace dress, her arm threading through Pierce’s holding his hand. The hand that already had a wedding ring on it.
And then she heard the malicious comments from the cousing," Pierce, she really is like a loyal dog.. She’s still waiting here for you."
"They stopped a few feet away from her, and made no attempt to lower their voices," I told you, there was no need to have this farce. Now see, she is going to create a scene and spoin your day."
"You should’ve just messaged her that you were not marrying her."
"Did she really think you were going to marry her? Miss ’Beautiful’, did you really think that our cousing would marry a hoe like you? What is wrong with you? You should have run away when he did not turn up."
"I think she is pretty shameless. Forget leaving before they came here. She’s still here, even after Pierce and Bianca are standing before her."
