Alice hesitated before answering, her gaze lowered, At Mr. Olsons birthday, Bella was mean to me because of Sabrina. It made me so angry
After a brief pause, Lance addressed Royce, Royce, I apologize.
Keilani brought it upon herself. Please dont heed her nonsense and lies.
Keilani seethed with anger at Lances words but held back from retaliating.
Royce dismissed the situation, instructing, Alright then. Lance, since youre here, make sure to watch over her. Keilani, please listen to your brother.
Yes, Keilani replied reluctantly.
Back in her room, Keilani was still sulking, tempted to throw things around to lash out her anger, yet she restrained herself, fearing Royce and Lance might hear.
She dwelled on the situation and got more frustrated. She couldnt believe her uncle and brother were taking Sabrinas side.

Alice rolled her eyes and suggested, Of course not, my dear. We shouldnt let them off the hook easily. But if youre thinking of revenge, we need to plan carefully. Dont act rashly
Keilani, feeling annoyed, sighed deeply. Good thing youre wise enough to take the blame for me. Alice, youre too good-hearted. Rest assured. I know how to repay your favor. Ill make sure you marry my brother!

That way, Lance wouldnt end up hating her.
After Tyrone left the police station, the wedding of Sergio and Marnie was put on the agenda again.
However, Marnie was pregnant with an obvious baby bump.
The wedding ceremony was simple. With Marnies big belly, others could easily tell it was a shotgun marriage. Plus, a complicated wedding ceremony might exhaust a pregnant bride.
Surely, Marnie desired a grand ceremony to tell the world she was marrying Sergio but held back any complaints. If she insisted on having a grand wedding, others might frown at her indifference toward the baby in her belly.
At about five oclock in the morning, the wedding car set off from Mathias to pick up Marnie. When they arrived at the destination of the ceremony, it was already eight oclock.
Marnie was dressed in a luxurious and exquisite dress, and Sergio was in the suit. The two stood together and were ready to go through the wedding procedures.
Sergio accompanied Marnie to the room.
Sabrina, a part of the Blakely family, along with Lena and other close relatives, welcomed the guests.
