Jeff walked around the venue a few times but didn’t see Ethan. Not only that, he didn’t see Chris or
Chloe either. He knew that Marina was Chris’ only child. He wondered why the parents weren’t present
for her wedding. He did see Otto, who looked older and depressed.
Jeff felt tired after walking around the venue a few times. He wanted to find a spot to rest when he
heard a woman taking near him.
“Marina, do you think Olivia will come?”
The mention of Olivia’s name attracted Jeff’s attention. He looked toward the people who were talking
and saw Marina sitting in her wheelchair in a wedding dress. She looked exactly like the woman on the
poster outside the hotel.
Jeff realized that she was the woman Ethan was going to marry. He was surprised to see her in a
wheelchair.

subsided a little when he saw that Marina was crippled. He began to think that there might be more to
the story. Maybe there was a misunderstanding.
Jeff didn’t plan to confront a young lady. He wanted to wait for Ethan to give him an explanation.
Marina’s complexion worsened visibly. She gritted her teeth at the mention of Olivia’s name. ” Nothing
will change with or without her here. I’ll be the rightful Mrs. Miller from today onward.”
“That’s true. Olivia as Mrs. Miller is ancient history now.” Calista had learned her lesson. She no longer
dared to speak ill of Olivia around Marina.
Marina’s temperament changed drastically after the death of her parents. She gripped the armrests of
her wheelchair and said with a contorted expression, “That bitch is still trying to seduce Ethan after
their divorce. I won’t let her off easy.”
“Marina, no matter what she tries to pull, you’re the one Mr. Miller is marrying. You’ve won. All you need
to do now is to rest and get well soon. Your parents will be able to rest in peace knowing you’re in good
health.”
Jeff wanted to speak up and reprimand Marina, but then he heard Calista talking about her resting in
peace. It instantly grabbed his attention.
“What did you say?”

Calista and Marina turned to see the person standing behind them. Jeff wore plain clothes, looking like
a normal middle-aged man.
Marina had never seen Jeff before. She didn’t know who he was. He also looked way slimmer than he
used to be. Even Calista, who had seen him before, didn’t recognize him even though she thought he
looked familiar.

Calista saw his dirty shoes and thought he was an attendant whom they had met before.

“Who are you?”
Jeff was very emotional, and even his voice trembled slightly. “What did you say happened to her
parents?”
“Who do you work for? How can you say something so rude?” Calista glared at Jeff as she spoke.
It was public knowledge that Chloe died from leukemia and that Chris committed suicide to follow her in
death. Asking about that before Marina was like pouring salt on her wound.
Jeff quickly approached Marina. She looked at this slim, middle-aged man. His stride was weird. It was
different from how people usually walked.
For some reason, Marina felt an inexplicable sense of affection for this man.
Jeff walked up to her and asked with a serious expression, “What happened… to your mom.”
Tears welled up in Marina at the mention of Chloe. “What does that have to do with you? How did you
sneak in? Where’s security? Why did they let someone like this in? Get away from me!”
Jeff didn’t let up. He looked at Calista and asked, “What did you mean they could rest in peace?”
“What do you think I meant? Are you playing dumb, or are you trying to start something? Mrs. Carlton
passed away two months ago. Why are you asking these questions now?”
