Cynthia looked worriedly at Emma, who was holding her head and asked, "Are you not feeling well?"

Emma shook her head, and the mental images that she had envisaged disappeared.

"I'm fine!" said Emma as she stood back up.

"You really scared me! You are now a precious asset to our company. If anything happens to you, I can't afford to bear the responsibility. You'd better replace a safe corner and rest there." Emma was speechless. She replied, "Madam Leon, don't exaggerate things! I'm not that important."

"That's the truth. Stop talking, just come with me!"

Meanwhile, the ceremony was still going on.

The emcee's voice conveyed the happiness and sweetness between Naomi and Nelson.

"Next, let's witness the plot of their love story together!"

Then, on the large projection screen, photos of Naomi and Nelson were slowly shown in succession.

Naomi began to recall the pleasant recollections of the time they had spent together. Those photos really thrilled and moved her.

Those photos had all been carefully selected by them. For those photos that hadn't been recorded at that time, Naomi had asked Clint for his help.

He had withdrawn the footage out from the surveillance cameras by the roadside, and then found a professional photographer to edit them.

In the end, all the exhibited scenes were all real and genuine.

Just like Naomi, Nelson was also reminiscing about their past. Their eyes met and they gave each other a sweet smile.

All of a sudden, someone below the stage was curious.

They asked, "What's that?"

Naomi was puzzled, then she looked at the screen.

She thought to herself, "That woman seems familiar to me."

"Monique!" Someone called out her name out of the blue. Only then did Naomi realize that the person appearing on the screen was Nelson's neighbor, Monique.

Nelson once said that Monique was actually the

one who had harmed them.

However, she thought they had already filtered out all of the strange photos when they had been selecting the photos. She wondered why those photos had appeared on the screen. Similar to Naomi, Nelson was also perplexed.

He frowned. It was not until the next photo was shown that he was utterly dumbfounded.

The next photo was him going to Monique's house, who was wearing a provocative nightgown as she opened the door for him.

All of a sudden, the audience burst into an uproar.

Amos stood up as well and called out to Clint, "Clint, what's going on?"

Clint had originally wanted to be a quiet onlooker on that day. Unexpectedly, things just would not go his way.

Now that someone had started to make trouble, he couldn't stay idle anymore.

"I'll investigate!"

Naomi was already astounded, so she turned to ask Nelson, "What were you and Monique doing?"

Nelson furrowed his brow. He tried to explain himself, "Naomi, listen to me. I..."

Before he could finish his words, Emma suddenly let out a scream, "Ah!"

The uproar from the crowd stopped abruptly due to her scream, and shortly afterwards, all eyes were on her.

"It's him, it's him!"

Emma pointed at Nelson as she shouted loudly.

Cynthia was a smart woman. At the sight of her actions, she knew that things were complex, therefore she quickly held Emma in her arms.

"Did you recollect something? Don't be nervous, let's talk inside!"

However, Emma was having a breakdown. She shouted hysterically at Nelson.

She shouted hysterically at Nelson, "It's him! He was the one who contacted the supplier for me! He got me injured!"

By making such an accusation, she really did drop a bomb at an engagement ceremony

Naomi looked at Nelson in a daze.

She responded in an incredulous tone, "Are Emma's words true?"

Nelson's heart was in his mouth as he sensed the desolation in Naomi's eyes. He was greatly saddened by her disheartened appeal. "Naomi, let me explain myself."

"I don't want an explanation. Just tell me whether what Emma said is true or not!"

He pursed his lips before saying, "Yes, it's true, but this matter..."

"Is that photo real?"

Naomi asked again while pointing at the photos of Nelson and Monique.

"That's just a misunderstanding!"

Naomi sneered, "A misunderstanding? So, it is true. She isn't just our neighbor, is she? You know her, and you're on her side! You told me that she intended to bring harm to our family, yet it turns out that you're her accomplice!"

"Naomi..."

"Save your breath!" Naomi stepped back step-by-step, looking at him with disappointment.

"It turns out that I've been mistaken! You've harmed my family, yet I've always believed in you. I'm foolish enough to look forward to being with you happily. You said that you would protect me for a lifetime and grow old together with me. Is this the kind of protection you mean? You liar!"

After saying that, Naomi pulled off the white bridal veil on her head and threw it harshly onto the ground.

The veil and tiara were tangled together, both of them landing onto the ground. The diamonds and pearls embedded on its surface also fell with a clatter.

They were all broken, just like Naomi's heart.

"Naomi, calm down. I'll explain everything to you, okay? I'll tell you bit by bit about everything."

"That's enough!" Before he could finish speaking, Sugar Bun rushed forwards and threw a fist at him.

"What else do you want to explain? With all the photos and evidence here, what else do you want to say? Are you going to say that you don't know Monique, or that you've never harmed Emma?" Nelson's mind was in a state of chaos. He closed his eyes, trying to pull himself together.

Nonetheless, he clearly knew that those two incidents were true. Tried as he might, he couldn't justify his actions no matter what.

Nelson said through gritted teeth, "It's Monique. She's the one who's behind all this! Naomi, don't fall for her tricks!"

Naomi gave him a wry smile and looked at the photo again.

In the photo, Monique was wearing a strappy silk nightdress, which accentuated her sexy figure perfectly. She had a captivating smile on her face. Nelson was standing opposite to her, with his back facing the screen, thus people could not perceive his expression.

However, from that angle, it seemed that she was leaning in his arms, and he was not pushing her away.

"Fall for what? Your lies?"

Nelson clenched his fist hard, as if he couldn't wait to smash the screen with a single punch.

"I didn't touch her. She did this on purpose..."

"Why did she do this only to you, but not someone else?"

His actions were inexcusable.

"Naomi, you're hitting the ceiling at the moment, hence you can't see things clearly. I'll tell you about everything slowly when you have a clear mind later."

Naomi shook her head and said, "There's no need for that! I'm quite clear- headed now. You know what? I think that this is the most clear-headed I've been before. Everyone around me warned me that our relationship developed too fast and it would be too risky for me to fall in love with you just like that. I even had a quarrel with my mother and father over this matter, and I didn't take their advice seriously. I had put an unswerving trust in you. I didn't expect that you would be so skilled in lying!"

"You are cruel to others, and you are even more cruel to yourself! I can't imagine that you were willing to use your own body to allure me in order to bring down my family. You're sickening!"
