Chapter 255: The Bride Went Missing

There wasn’t the slightest glimpse of Elsie. He hadn’t expected her not to attend his wedding, Paul thought. Paul was in a bad mood. He intended to use Melina to lure Yunice so she couldn’t attend the wedding. He hadn’t expected that plot to fail. Paul watched the ring on her finger from the video. He held tight to the ring in his palm as he went through the wedding ceremony with a cold look.

During the banquet toast, Paul finally learned that Wyatt had married Yunice, who was Carl’s daughter.

“Wyatt had married Yunice, which practically meant he had secured the Northvale project. Lucky you, Mr. Paul. You can just tag along with Wyatt without doing a thing. You’re the real winner in life here.”

“Mr. Jackson founded the Powell Corporation, now you have the Kendall family supporting you from behind, and Wyatt clearing the path ahead—the future’s all yours, Mr. Paul!”

These complimentary words sounded so mocking to him. Lucky? Come on, you’re just implying that I’m winning everything by doing nothing. When he was young, he enjoyed those words. He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Without doing anything, he was loved by the entire family. From the moment he was born, he was the heir of the Powell family.

Back then, to him, Wyatt was nothing but a dog that could only feed on his leftovers. If he didn’t feel like sharing, Wyatt could go starved for all he cared. Little did he expect, Wyatt was not raised to rot; instead, he made something of himself. Yunice, once a woman being mocked and insulted, turned into the daughter of a top-tier family as they got married. Now, not only didn’t people sneer at this marriage as a scandal, but instead, they were praised as a perfect match.

What Jackson wished to see—none happened today. No one talked about Yunice’s medical history or her past marriage. Even Wyatt’s leg had somehow recovered. All those wounds in the past that were made fun of by them vanished overnight. Jackson could barely manage to put on a smile throughout the wedding; he was so enraged that he was on the verge of a heart attack more than once.

Paul couldn’t stay at the venue anymore. Without telling anyone, he left the banquet early.

Wyatt was still busy entertaining the guests and drinking while Yunice was sent to the hotel room to rest. Outside the banquet hall, Oscar was found pushing Owen away as he roared, “I’m sure the bride is Yunice. All of you are lying to me; she never dies!” Watching Oscar charge towards the banquet hall without second thoughts, Owen cursed under his breath as he rushed to stop him.

“Wyatt, your leg recovered just in time!” a voice chimed in.

“It looks like Yunice is your lucky charm! Ever since she showed up, Wyatt has been lucky. Today is a day of good fortune!” Another voice remarked.

Someone can be seen counting on their fingers as they exclaimed, “Firstly, Wyatt’s leg has healed. Secondly, Wyatt gets married. Thirdly, Wyatt is now the son-in-law of Mr. Carl, which means the Northvale project is in his hands!”

“As a matter of course, Yunice outshines the Powell family!”

“Here’s what I heard: the Powell family was so mad that their noses were twisted, and the wedding ended in a rush.”

Wyatt leaned against the table, listening to their chatter, barely touching his drink.

“Wyatt is having his wedding night with Yunice. Of course, he doesn’t want to drink with us!”

Wyatt wasn’t ashamed of the laughter that broke out around him. As he put down his glass of wine, he stood up and said, “You guys enjoy. I’m heading back to my room.” The young men exchanged cheeky glances, and their grins grew slyer than ever.

Before Wyatt could leave, Jordan rushed to his side in a hurry. Seeing him in panic, Wyatt frowned as he thought, Jordan wouldn’t run in such an unbecoming manner unless something major was happening. Just as expected, Jordan leaned close to Wyatt and whispered something in his ear.

Wyatt wore a solemn expression as he hurriedly exited the hall, leaving the crowd in confusion. He pushed open the door to the hotel room where Yunice was, only to find Carl and Freya inside, with Yunice nowhere to be seen. Yunice’s dress was seen on the bed. Wyatt strode over and asked in shock, “What happened?”

Coldly, Carl replied, “I’ve just arrived as well.”

Freya said, “I was the one who first found out she was missing. When Yunice was changing into her dress, one of the matching earrings was found missing. Thus, I went for a search in the…”

Freya then walked towards the fitting room. As she opened the door, everyone paused their breath for a second. Behind the door lay Gill, her head soaked at the back, with blood dripping from it. She was knocked out, unable to answer any questions. Jordan moved forward as he asked someone to have Gill sent to the hospital at once.

Yunice was missing. Under the heavy protection and surveillance of the hotel, Yunice, in her bridal dress, went missing without a trace. Wyatt walked out in determination as he asked, “Where is the Saunders family?” Freya and Jordan followed him and replied, “Lily and Elsie are both under our supervision; they don’t have a chance to strike.”

“Oscar and Owen tried to make a fuss at the scene but were then detained by us as we locked them in another room,” Freya and Jordan continued.
