Lola had regained some of her sanity without anyone realizing when. Her calm and composed gaze fell upon Dominick

Even though she didn’t speak, her eyes were no longer empty. In them, Dominick saw a reflection of himself.

A knife, stained with blood, fell to the ground behind her, making a piercing noise. Lola instinctively looked towards the sound, but Dominick gently lifted her chin to meet his gaze.

He offered a light, seemingly carefree smile. “Don’t be afraid. I’ll be by your side no matter what happens.”

Lola felt a strange feeling, and it was also a familiar sensation.

“Take Lola, and get out of here. It’s too complicated here, and she shouldn’t be further stressed.”

Before Ethan could respond, Dominick handed Lola over to him, his tone unusually friendly.

Ethan was slightly taken aback and surprised that Dominick was concerned about Lola’s well–being even in such a situation

“Are you…okay?”

As soon as he spoke, Ethan was taken aback by his own words.

He had sworn to destroy Dominick and the Sinclair family, yet he found himself concerned for Dominick.

He thought maybe it was because Dominick had been deceived too, or maybe because he was desperately trying to protect Lola

Ethan’s gaze darkened, and without saying anything more, he left with Lola.

Lola’s emotions were tangled. As she was about to leave the hall, she looked back at Dominick

He stood there in the same pose, his pale face wearing a gentle smile, tenderly looking back at her.

Just one glance, and she hurriedly looked away

“Nobody is leaving!”

Suddenly, the hall’s doors were shut from the outside. Laura slowly walked up to the stage, holding something in her hand.

She seemed to have lost her mind, staggering her face wearing a smile but her eyes filled with desperate madness.

“Why do you

think I invited you to this wedding?

“You all attended my son’s wedding. Now, I’ve invited you to his wife’s wedding with someone else. You all flatter and bless them, just like what you did before

“You all deserve to die! Today, no one is leaving. You’re all going to join my

As she finished, chaos erupted among the attendees

y son!”

Only then did they realize that what Laura was holding wasn’t just anything but a remote for a bomb!

“She’s gone mad! Completely mad! Run!”

“Run! I don’t want to die here!”

Laura watched the people scatter in panic, murmating to herself

“Landon, I’m about to make them pay for what they did to you.”

Without hesitation, she pressed the button!

In an instant, Dominick ran towards Lola, pulling her into his arms and shielding her beneath him,

Even Ethan was caught off guard!

Lola, stunned, met Dominick’s gaze. He smiled at her and his eyes still filled with tenderness for her even on the brink of death.

At that moment, his only thought was that sacrificing his life for Lola to live was worth it.

After seconds of silence, the anticipated explosion did not occur.

Laura frantically pressed the button several times to no avail

“What? What’s happening?

*Explode: Come on. Explode! Kill these people! Hurry and kill them all

Laura, seemingly insane, repeatedly pressed the remote. The hall remained silent, and she furiously threw the remote on the ground, stomping on it.

“Just explode!”

“It won’t explode.

A woman’s voice came from outside, followed by the opening of the 10–foot–tall doors.

A female figure stood in the doorway, her face unclear, but she was wearing a long dress and a veil

Sunlight streamed in, and the terrified people finally snapped to their senses, scrambling to escape the scene.

Soon, the hall was left with only a handful of people.

Dominick stood up.

and guided Lola to a safe corner to prevent anyone from accidentally bumping into her.

“Who are you? What have you done? Why didn’t it explode? You tampered with it, didn’t you?” Laura charged forward, seemingly out of her mind.

But that person remained calm, walking steadily towards Laura.

“Heather?” Lola recognized the person with slight surprise.

Ethan hadn’t expected Heather to be there. He hadn’t even called her yet

“It’s been a long time, Laura,”

Heather stopped in front of Laura without removing her veil, yet her eyes alone were enough for Laura to recognize her.

As expected, Laura, who had charged over furiously, froze in place at the sight of Heather.

It took her a full minute to convince herself she wasn’t dreaming. She stepped back half a step in disbelief, her gaze frantic and unfocused.

“Are you a ghost or a human?”

Years ago, Laura had ordered Heather’s assassination, receiving news of her death

Yet there she was, standing right in front of aural

“Does it matter, Laura?

“You’ve played the role of the understanding, gentle, and graceful Mrs. Sinclair for so long. You must be exhausted, right?” Heather’s voice was soft, but

each word was sharp.

Laura’s previous s madness was replaced by panic. She couldn’t even bring herself to meet Heather’s gaze.

“What are you talking about? I’don’t understand.”

“It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand. Do you understand the meaning of facing the consequences of your actions?”

Heather stepped closer to Laura, her voice growing louder. “You were right. Landon’s death was no accident. But you know better than anyone how he died, don’t you?”

Dominick’s brows furrowed, his hands slowly clenching into fists.

“Do you remember, Laura, when you had your men tamper with Dominick’s car? You pretended to be a loving mother, promising the Sinclair family that you would take good care of Mr. Sinclair, but you were scared. You feared this talented child would threaten your son’s status, so you sabotaged the brakes, hoping Dominick would die in an accident.

“But you never imagined Landon would be in the car that day!

“You keep saying you are innocent, that these people should stone for your son. But the one who truly needs to atone is you! You killed your own son with your actions!”

After speaking, Heather slowly lifted her hand to remove the black veil, revealing a face marred by ferocious scars, her gaze as menacing as a demon emerged from hell.

“Why can’t you look at me? Have you forgotten how you used my mother to threaten me back then? Did you forget how you took my son and then silenced those involved?

“You never thought I’d live, did you? You never imagined I’d come back to make you pay!”
