Chapter 1239 Has He Lost His Sense Of Judgement

"I've never mistreated Stanley! Alex, stop making a scene. We're in the middle of our wedding ceremony. Can we talk about this later tonight?"

Kate gently tugged at Alex's clothes, her pleading expression resembling that of a woman who was trying to consider the bigger picture.

The more she acted that way, the more Alex felt that there was something wrong with Kate. He was certain she had done something to Stanley. The thought of bringing this dangerous woman home became increasingly terrifying to him.

"If this matter isn't clarified, I won't go through with this marriage," Alex said emotionlessly, swiping Kate's hand aside.

"Alex, are you intent on breaking my heart? Do you really want to embarrass me in front of so many people? Do you still care for Emmalyn and me?" Kate said as a crystal-like tear slid down her cheek, a sight that would evoke pity in anyone.

Even though the guests below the stage were friends of Alex, they all felt that Alex's actions were somewhat excessive when they saw the pitiful look on Kate's face. Couldn't whatever it is wait until after the wedding ceremony? Why does he insist on upsetting Kate at such a time?

With an indifferent expression, Alex looked at Kate and said coldly, "Your little tricks are useless in front of me. Be honest and clarify this matter. If you don't, I can still replace out by asking others!" When Maria clearly saw everything that was happening on stage, her hand instinctively covered her mouth in fear.

Everything had been going smoothly until I uttered those words. After that, it was as if Alex had become a completely different person. Could it be that Mr. Jefferson actually heard what I just said? But that shouldn't be possible. We are so far apart and the music was so loud. How could he possibly have heard me?

Kate had once threatened her, stating that if she were to reveal the truth, not only would her job be at risk, but her children would also suffer the consequences.

At that point, the pastor could no longer bear to watch. He said to Alex, "Mr. Jefferson, no matter what, she is your future wife. How could you humiliate her in front of so many people?"

"An outsider like you has no right to meddle in my family affairs. Today, I'm simply trying to uncover the truth," Alex retorted assertively, leaving the pastor speechless.

Feeling utterly humiliated, the pastor left with a flick of his sleeve.

Alex's intense anger stemmed from the thought of Stanley's period of unusual silence and his fear of seeing Kate. The memory only served to further intensify the suspicions Alex harbored.

"I really haven't done anything wrong! Alex, if you don't want to marry me or don't want Emmalyn, you could have just told me directly. There's no need to go around in circles just to humiliate me!" Kate was crying, her tears falling like raindrops. As if she couldn't bear the humiliation Alex had wrought upon her, she attempted to turn and leave.

Under normal circumstances, Alex wouldn't pressure Kate once she began to cry. However, as this matter concerned Stanley, Alex insisted on getting to the bottom of it.

He didn't want to live a lifetime of regret when he saw Stanley's lifeless body one day.

Grabbing Kate's hand, Alex spoke with a chilling tone. "Did I say you could leave? You're not going anywhere until you explain this to me."

Tears streamed down Kate's face, as if she had suffered a great injustice. She looked at the man in front of her with a shocked gaze and questioned, "Alex, do you really not believe me? I told you I didn't do anything, yet you insist on putting me on a spot today?"

The guests below the stage had begun to sympathize with Kate. Even Flynn was somewhat confused. What's going on with Alex? If there really is an issue, couldn't they talk it out as a couple behind closed doors? Why does he insist on making such a big fuss here? Has he lost his sense of judgment?
