Emmeline pressed her lips together. "It's all in the past now..."

Rosaline felt a little embarrassed by how nonchalant Emmeline seemed.

"I admit that I had been harsh on you, and I hope you can forgive me."

"...I know you're only worried about Abel."

"Alright then, let bygones be bygones. We are here to give you two your gifts."

Emmeline did not say anything.

Madame Ryker knows how to maintain harmony. But what if the groom had been the other guy instead? Will she neglect me after she gets the antidote?

"Sorry the wedding isn't grander," Rosaline said.

"We'll have another reception next time," Lewis said. "The ceremony today is held under exceptional circumstances. We need to thank Emma for devising this plan to save Abel."

"Yes. Emma is doing this for Abel. I was wrong to mistreat her," Rosaline said.

Emmeline lowered her head slightly.

If Rosaline had already said that, there was nothing more left for her to say.

The ceremony continued, and the master of ceremonies announced the list of gifts from the Ryker family,

The guests exclaimed in surprise and admiration as the list was read out.

The Ryker family was the wealthiest family in Struyria. It was no surprise they wanted to keep up with their image.

"Thank you, Father. Thank you, Mother," Emmeline said to Lewis and Rosaline.

Tears welled up in the old couple's eyes.

Waylon and Benjamin were smiling at the happy ending, but at the same time, they felt forlorn that their little girl had finally grown up.

Ethan covered his mouth and began to sob. Grace hugged him and comforted him. "Emmeline is finally married, and she married Abel. Shouldn't you be happy?"

"Mm." Ethan nodded. "I'm so glad things turned out this way. I couldn't sleep last night."

Abel was thankful to Waylon.

If Waylon had not cured him, Emmeline would have been Pockmark Face's wife by now.

He would regret it for the rest of his life.

After the ceremony was complete, the only thing left was the antidote.

Abel took Emmeline's hand. Suddenly, he raised his head and shouted, "You b*stard! It's all thanks to you that my face has become like this! I'm as ugly and hideous as it gets! Emmeline has fulfilled your condition. You'd better show yourself now!"

"Anthony Green!" Emmeline also shouted. "I've done what you wanted, and I hope you can keep to your end of the promise! Give me the antidote now! Don't forget that you still need me!" Antidote? Everyone was confused at first, but they soon realized what was going on.

Emmeline held the ridiculous wedding ceremony to obtain the antidote, and Abel's face became hideous because of the poison.

A few seconds later, the door to the banquet hall opened.

Everyone turned their heads toward the door.

Emmeline and Abel clasped their hands together tightly.

The person who appeared at the door was...

A delivery boy.

The delivery boy was dressed in a gray uniform, but his helmet was bright red.

He was shocked to see everyone staring at him.

"Ex... Excuse me, delivery for Ms. Emmeline Louise!" he announced.

"That's me!" Emmeline said.

"You have... a parcel!"

The delivery boy was surprised to see the beautiful woman in the wedding gown. He stumbled up to her and gave her a small cardboard box. Is this the antidote? Emmeline thought.
