Then she flashed Alexa a brilliant, victorious grin.
Alexa nearly lost her mind.
At that moment, Vincent stormed into the hall.
The second he saw Juliet standing beside another man, his face drained of all color.
"Juliet!"
Ignoring everyone around him, Vincent rushed toward the stage.
But before he could climb the stairs, several bodyguards dressed in black stepped in front of him.
"Move!" Vincent roared. "I need to talk to her!"
The men didn't budge.
"Mr. Han has ordered that no one disturb the wedding."
Vincent glared at Juliet, his eyes bloodshot.
"Juliet! How could you do this to me?" he shouted. "You cheated on me! You said you loved me!"
The entire hall fell silent.
Juliet looked down at him calmly, as if he were nothing more than a stranger causing a disturbance.
"Cheat on you?" she repeated coldly. "Mr. Jacobs, you were flirting with a thousand other women while expecting me to wait for you like a good wife."
She shook her head.
"You really need to learn to respect other people. You lost any right to interfere in my life the moment you chose someone else over me."
Vincent's expression crumbled.
Juliet continued mercilessly, "Forget about me, Vincent. You already have more than enough people around you willing to agree with whatever you want to hear. You don't need me."
Vincent shook his head desperately.
"No, Juliet. Please." His voice cracked. "Come back to me. I know I was wrong. I can change. Please give me another chance."
For a moment, Juliet simply stared at him.
Then, without hesitation, she turned toward Cassian.
She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him.
Cassian immediately pulled his bride against him and hungrily deepened the kiss.
The guests erupted into applause.
Vincent stood frozen.
The last shred of hope inside him shattered completely.
His eyes turned red, tears threatening to spill over at any moment.
He looked as though he might burst into tears right there in front of everyone.
