The Lawyer’s Romance in Law

“I’m telling you, there’s no way we’re getting a divorce. Just carry on with the wedding, or I’ll make life a living hell for you. It has taken me a lot of effort to come this far, so I won’t allow anyone to get in my way!”

Stephanie sobbed and closed her eyes in despair. Am I going to spend the rest of my life like this? Why did I even fall in love with a poor man like him in the first place? Why?!

Unbeknownst to her, their first encounter was also part of Crispin’s plan.

Soon, it was the wedding day.

As Stephanie’s sister, Amanda naturally had to attend the wedding. Jack had requested Aiden to be a pageboy.

The young child was reluctant, but he eventually gave in to Jack after the latter persuaded him for a long time.

Elias was also in attendance. Since he was only Amanda’s former husband, he didn’t have to come. However, he and Jack were business partners.

“Are they getting married just like this? I still haven’t come around to that idea.” Amanda was in a dazed state. After all that had happened, Stephanie was eventually marrying Crispin.

Elias picked up a glass of wine and scanned his surroundings. All the guests were people he was familiar with. Jack had invited most of the prominent business people, which went to show how much he prioritized the wedding.

All of them were smiling except for Stephanie. Presently, she was spacing out in the lounge.

The woman looked at herself in the mirror. There was no doubt she was beautiful with delicate makeup and a wedding dress. However, when she recalled Crispin’s evil nature, she felt disgusted.

Unfortunately, she didn’t dare to resist, nor did she have any idea what to do.

When Amanda entered the lounge and saw that Stephanie’s mind was somewhere else, she said, “The wedding will begin shortly. Are you ready to go out?”

Although the bond between them wasn’t strong, she was her older sister, after all. Moreover, she wouldn’t want to be a wet blanket since it was Stephanie’s wedding.
