Chapter 251

"It's okay, it's not too late to know now."

In the blink of an eye, it was already the following Monday. James and Sophia barely slept all night. At one in the morning, a makeup artist came to do Sophia's makeup.

After the makeup and styling were done, several girls helped Sophia into her wedding dress.

On James's side, he put on a suit—simple and already very handsome.

After the makeup was finished, the makeup artist left the dressing room, and James stood behind Sophia.

James gently embraced Sophia from behind, "Sophia, do you know how long I've been waiting for this day? The wedding is about to start, and I really feel like I'm dreaming. Are you really going to become my wife?"

Sophia turned around and hugged James.

"Of course, James. You're not dreaming, and neither am I. We're really together now. Anyway, the Brown Group is already on track. After the wedding, let's have a baby, okay?"

Actually, Sophia had been thinking about this for a while, but she felt that James had a rather cold personality and didn't know if he liked children.

Someone with James's personality probably wouldn't like noise and chaos, but Sophia really loved children.

Hearing this, James was slightly stunned and felt particularly touched, "Sophia, do you like children that much? But I heard that giving birth is very painful."

James couldn't bear to let Sophia suffer any pain.

"It won't be that bad. What other women can endure, I can endure too."

While the two were talking, David's voice suddenly came from outside the dressing room.

"Mr. Smith, Mrs. Anais Smith is looking for you. It's almost time to go on stage. You'll enter from the back door, Mrs. Sophia Smith from the front door, and you two will meet on stage."

Hearing this, James reached out and gently patted Sophia's shoulder, "Let's continue this conversation tonight on our wedding night."

Sophia's cheeks turned red, and she smiled shyly. Then James turned and left.

Sophia looked at herself in the mirror and suddenly felt that the world was beautiful. She once thought her pain and misery would never end.

But she never expected happiness to come so suddenly.

At that moment, she heard hurried footsteps at the dressing room door. She turned to look and was startled—she never expected to see Veda standing there with an angry expression.

"Veda, what are you doing here? The Smith family didn't invite you, did we?"

To avoid disturbing Sophia's mood, James not only didn't invite Veda to today's wedding, he didn't even tell Hayden.

Invitation?

Veda snorted coldly.

"Who cares about your invitation? Sophia, I'm here to tell you that today I'm going to be your nightmare. I'm going to ruin your wedding."

Hearing this, Sophia was stunned and looked at Veda strangely. She looked her up and down.

Veda was still injured—what made her think she could ruin the wedding?

"Veda, I know the Brown family's troubles have affected you greatly, but think about it carefully—all these things were caused by yourselves. Your current situation is what you deserve."

Back when she graduated from college and Mia was sick, if Hayden and Hazel had been willing to give her some money to help and let Mia get through that difficult time, Sophia had never wanted to claim the inheritance.

Because she grew up in the countryside, and after coming to the city, she just wanted to have enough food and clothing. Although she knew Ava had left an inheritance, Sophia never thought about taking it back.

After all, Sophia knew she didn't have the power to fight against the Brown family at that time, and besides, she was satisfied with her life then.

Until later when Mia got sick and Sophia desperately needed money, plus the Brown family's aggressive bullying, she finally developed a competitive spirit.

"Sophia, I admit that everything happening to the Brown family today is what we deserve, but if it weren't for you, none of this would have happened. So you're the one who started all this."

Sophia stood before Veda in her wedding dress, radiant and dazzling.

Watching Sophia stand before her like a princess, about to enter the hall of marriage, Veda was driven mad with jealousy.

"So, Sophia, no matter what, I won't let you have happiness today. Today, I'm going to take you down with me."

After saying this, Veda viciously stepped forward. Sophia was about to call for help.

There were many Smith family servants coming and going outside. As long as they heard her voice, security would take Veda away.

But before she could speak, Veda suddenly came forward with a needle and injected something into her body. Instantly, Sophia collapsed to the ground.

Veda laughed coldly with a sinister expression, then dragged Sophia to the stairwell. Taking advantage of everyone at the wedding being distracted, she drove off with Sophia.

At the wedding, Anais and Aiden were greeting guests. When Anais saw James waiting at the entrance to go on stage, she walked over to ask, "James, are you nervous? This is the most important moment of your life. You must experience it well and remember it forever."

James smiled, "Of course I know. I had David prepare many cameras. I want to record every detail of this beautiful moment today."

Just then, a girl's scream suddenly came from backstage.

"Something's wrong! Mrs. Smith is missing!"

James looked over at the commotion with a displeased expression, "What happened? Why all this noise at such an occasion?"

Today was his and Sophia's big day—James absolutely wouldn't allow anyone to ruin it.

"Mr. Smith, something's wrong—Mrs. Smith is missing."

James's expression turned serious, somewhat confused, "What do you mean Sophia is missing? Wasn't she just in the dressing room?"

The girl nodded frantically.

"Yes, Mr. Smith. Mrs. Smith was clearly in the dressing room just now, but when I went in to call her, she was nowhere to be found. So I checked the dressing room surveillance footage."

The girl was really panicked. She had gone in to tell Sophia it was time to come out, but found the room empty. Since it was already time, she took it upon herself to check the surveillance.

James frowned, "What did the surveillance show?"

When the girl spoke again, her voice was tearful.
