In the banquet hall, everyone’s emotions were calmed down, and despite the chaos, the wedding continued.
It was a wedding without a bride.
Rosalie Ray followed Faye Sterling to the hospital, while George Sterling stayed behind to soothe the other guests.
In the lounge room, George Sterling looked at Mrs. Faulkner with a somewhat awkward expression.
"In-law, there might be some hidden truth behind this matter, let’s investigate thoroughly before jumping to conclusions. Faye might have been framed."
After waiting for so many years, he just wanted Faye Sterling to marry into the Faulkner Family, and now it’s all for nothing; he was somewhat unwilling to accept it.
Faye Sterling, like her mom, was more of a liability than help, making him lose all face in front of everyone.
Mrs. Faulkner snorted coldly, "Don’t call me in-law; I’m not your in-law!"
What misunderstanding could there be? Everything was laid out there, and he still wanted to continue deceiving her.
Mrs. Faulkner smirked without true emotion, "Whether it’s a misunderstanding or a setup, it doesn’t matter; Faye Sterling is not marrying Alaric, so it’s none of our concern!"
George Sterling’s face turned stiff.
As for the groom outside, he had no idea who he was!
At that moment, the lounge room door opened, and Alaric Faulkner walked in. George Sterling immediately stepped forward to meet him.
"Alaric, what exactly is happening outside? Let’s cancel the wedding for now; having a stranger stand in for you at the wedding doesn’t seem right, does it?"
Alaric Faulkner glanced at George Sterling and said, "Once the wedding begins, it cannot be stopped.
Faye Sterling has already registered with Jack, so how can there be talk of standing in? Instead of worrying here, you’d better think about how to handle the aftermath."
George Sterling looked despondent.
This matter might be impossible to resolve.
Everyone knew that George Sterling’s wife had betrayed him, his daughter was not his biological child, and that Faye Sterling was pregnant with an illegitimate child.
At the thought of it, George Sterling wished he could strangle that troublesome mother and daughter pair; his reputation was entirely ruined!
Warren Hawthorne looked at Stella Hawthorne with an extremely cold expression.
"What is going on with Eleanor Sterling?"
Stella Hawthorne hesitated and avoided Warren Hawthorne’s gaze.
Seeing her evasive manner, Warren Hawthorne more or less guessed something.
Warren Hawthorne painfully asked, "Is she really my daughter with Jeanette Jennings?"
The thought of the missed connection between them left a heavy feeling in his heart.
Stella Hawthorne lifted her head and said aggrievedly, "Even though I deceived you, we are still married. I gave you Stella and Silas, so why are you still holding onto the past?"
Hearing this, Warren Hawthorne was even more tormented.
It was precisely because of this that he was overwhelmed with guilt and regret when he suddenly learned the truth.
He had betrayed Jeanette Jennings!
Even though Stella Hawthorne’s deception was a factor, he was also to blame for his lack of determination. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by novel-fire.ɴet
Warren Hawthorne did not blame Stella Hawthorne; he merely sighed, "Let’s go handle the divorce procedures in a couple of days."
Upon hearing this, Stella Hawthorne immediately panicked.
She rushed forward to hold Warren Hawthorne’s arm, earnestly saying, "Warren, please don’t! We’ve been married for over twenty years; are you really going to divorce me over such a small matter?"
Warren Hawthorne’s eyes were bloodshot, filled with emotions that consumed him.
Was it a small matter?
For all these years, he had been tormented by the regret of missing out with Jeanette Jennings.
The room door opened, and Stella and Silas walked in together. Stella immediately ran to Silas.
"Silas, Stella, your father wants to divorce me. Please try to talk him out of it."
Upon hearing this, Stella Hawthorne immediately looked at Warren Hawthorne, "Dad, are you really going to divorce mom?"
"My mind is made up; you don’t need to persuade me. If you have time, just comfort your mother."
After saying this, Warren Hawthorne opened the door and left.
He needed to escape this oppressive room to take a breather.
Seeing Warren Hawthorne leave without looking back, Stella Hawthorne collapsed weakly to the ground.
