Chapter 5

Jeremy tilted his head slightly and narrowed his eyes while staring at the small balcony that connected to the empty attic. After two seconds of silence, he whispered an order, “You can lead the guys in for now.”

“Well, uhh…” Tommy was surprised, but he did not dare to question Jeremy’s order. He could only do as he was told and wave his hand to give the men behind him a signal.

“Everyone, come on in with me.”

The Holdens’ wedding entourage was blocked by bridesmaids begging for gifts at the door of the Carews’ villa, making for a particularly lively atmosphere.

No one noticed that the groom had gone around to the back door of the compound.

There, a girl was strolling and humming ‘Wedding March’ as if no one would recognize her.

She had barely taken a few steps when a hand grabbed the back of her neck by force. Her entire body had been lifted into the air, and both her feet were dangling like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

“Did you think you could just run away?” The man’s voice was as sonorous as a cello. There were strong hints of aggression in his tone, and it sounded rather cold to the ears.

Corinne might not be facing the man who attacked her, but she immediately recognized that the voice belonged to Jeremy.

She was surprised that Jeremy had recognized her from that distant glance earlier. Even so, she was ready for that eventuality.

Corinne turned her head to look at Jeremy and spoke with a lisp in a feigned tone. She stammered and said, “M—M—Mister? Who are you? Why are you p…pulling my arm?”

Jeremy was given a small fright when she turned around. He let go of her hand in an instant, almost as if he had seen a ghost.

The woman in front of him had plenty of moles on her face, a unibrow, sausage lips, and eye shadows in all colors of the rainbow.

Her appearance was exceedingly ugly, and one could even say that it was much worse than gag scenes of cross-dressing men in movies.

Corinne reveled at the sight of Jeremy’s expression after he had been frightened by her ugly appearance.

She acted stupid once more and said in a daze, “Mister, you’re getting m—married, yes? You went t—t—the wrong way! You need to go the fuc—
