Chapter 252: Danger Lurking Beneath
Both Paul and Taylor frowned. "Such filthy curses," they thought.
Wyatt lifted the car window as he turned and held Yunice’s hand. The wedding convoy then drove out of Paul’s sight. Yunice lifted her head, looking at his expression through the bridal veil. Wyatt was indeed in a good mood; delight lingered at the corners of his eyes and brows. On the other hand, Yunice didn’t particularly feel anything. Having lived through so much turmoil, she had learned to remain calm wherever she ended up.
Upon arriving at the hotel, Yunice waited backstage. Freya and Jordan were by her side.
Jordan said, “Even though it’s the final step, Wyatt is still worried, fearing someone might come and abduct Mrs. Cooper.”
Freya leaned over the makeup mirror and said, in a mocking tone, “I never knew he was this obsessed with Mrs. Cooper.” Upon speaking, Freya lifted Yunice’s chin and said, “Let me see how the makeup turned out.” She gazed for a long time, then asked, “Has anybody ever told you that you are such a beauty?” There was no trace left of the injury Paul had caused on her face. After spending a few days with Wyatt, her face had started to look plumper. Without noticing, the once dull and lifeless Yunice had now become a luminous beauty with sparkling eyes.
Yunice wasn’t the type with striking facial features. Instead, her charm unfolded like a gentle drizzle—the more you looked at her, the more you found her gorgeous.
Freya then reacted, “No wonder Wyatt is so obsessed with you. It turns out he is attracted to your beauty.”
“Mrs. Cooper, it is about time you get on stage. Would you mind moving to the fitting room now? We would like to do a second check on the wedding suit.” A staff member approached, gave a polite bow, and asked.
Yunice was startled when the staff member called her “Mrs. Cooper,” but then she thought she was making a fuss over it. Thus, she stood up and walked towards the fitting room. The staff member locked the door after she entered, and she turned…

Yunice glanced back, and an instant cold flickered in her eyes. Just as the staff member was about to speak again, Yunice took a step forward. With a swift motion, she pierced a fine silver needle into the highest point of her head.

Feeling an instant numbness, the staff member was stunned as she tried to grab onto something for support. But unconsciousness soon took over as she collapsed onto the floor. Yunice stayed in her place, expressionless.
Chapter 257: Danger Lurking Beneath
Melina is blind, and she’s always by herself. How could she possibly know about my wedding today? Unless someone is trying to stir up trouble using her. Carl made up my death, and only those of my close acquaintances knew I was still alive. Who is trying to set me up? Yunice thought.
Yunice made a phone call: “Kingsley, are you at my wedding already?” Her gaze shifted slightly as she continued in a low voice, “There is a woman who has fainted in the fitting room backstage. Can you take care of her for me? I don’t want any unexpected occurrences during my wedding today.”
After hanging up the call, Yunice walked out of the fitting room as if nothing had happened. Neither Freya nor Jordan realized. With one on each side, they escorted her to the main doors behind the banquet hall.
As Owen and his group came to the banquet hall, the bride and groom hadn’t come in yet. They looked around and spotted a few people featured in the financial publications among the guests. A gleam of envy dazzled in her eyes as Elsie said, “I know that Mr. Carl is capable, but I don’t know that he has such a vast network.” Carl’s fame and status were definitely on par with the Powell family.
It was at this moment that Owen spotted a figure, and he pointed towards it, saying, “It’s Oscar.” Lily and Elsie looked over as they saw Oscar mingling among the crowd alone, his eyes roaming across the area.
Owen said, clearly annoyed, “Oscar gets mad and refuses to visit the Powell family; instead, he secretly attends this banquet held by the Crawford family. Don’t tell me he also wants Mr. Carl to acknowledge him as his honorary son.” The fact that Oscar had been eyeing Saunders Hospital bothered him, as he scoffed, “What a schemer.”

“…hasn’t gotten over Yunice’s death and intends on ruining his wedding out of spite?”
Startled, Owen widened his eyes and said, “How could that not be possible? It is very likely to happen!”
“Isn’t he digging his own grave! You two stay here; I’ll go get Oscar!” Owen said as he rushed through the crowd and searched for Oscar. Deep down, Owen knew the reason behind Yunice’s death. If Oscar falsely accused that jinx out of impulse, things were going to get out of hand.
Owen grabbed him at once and shouted, “Oscar, follow me!” Oscar gave Owen a once-over and, without moving, asked, “What are you doing here?”
Owen roared in his low voice, “Obviously, I’m here to stop you from committing something stupid! Do you know what kind of person Wyatt is? Trust me, before you rush onto the stage, you will be dragged out and beaten to death by his bodyguard!”
