Chapter 344 Her in His Heart and Eyes
Chapter 344 Her in His Heart and Eyes
"No! No! No! That's impossible!"
Chase's face drained of all color.
He refused to accept this reality.
Watching him, Kathy suddenly felt her desire to save him wasn't so strong anymore.
She laughed cruelly, her voice unbearably gentle. "Chase, do you know who she's marrying?"
"...Who?"
"Adrian."
"That's impossible!"
Chase denied it immediately. "What kind of status does Adrian have? How could he possibly marry Serena?
This can't be real. I don't believe it's real. You're lying to me, aren't you? Serena sent you to lie to me, didn't she? She's deliberately trying to upset me, right?"
Kathy went along with his words. "I don't believe it's real either. She and I were both your women. Now that you're in prison, she and I should have ended up the same way...
But why? Why have I become a crazy woman everyone despises, while she gets to live in a villa, wear expensive clothes, and eat gourmet dinners?
She even gets to marry Adrian, that brilliant, radiant man...
Why? Why? What's the difference between us? Why are our endings so different?"
She muttered in disbelief, her words full of jealousy toward Serena—insane jealousy.
Before Serena got together with Chase, Kathy had been jealous—why did Serena get all of Chase's attention?
Later, when Serena was openly with Chase, she was still jealous—why could she only be a mistress in the shadows while Serena could marry Chase openly?
Now that Chase was in prison, she was even more jealous—why, when they were in the same situation with the same fate, did they have such different outcomes?
Chase, hearing Kathy ramble on without saying anything he wanted to hear, shouted, "Kathy, Kathy, what are you even saying? Speak clearly!"
Kathy's clouded gaze focused on him slowly, empty and emotionless.
She spoke slowly, word by word, devoid of feeling. "I'm saying Serena and Adrian are getting married today. The news is everywhere. Even in your prison, you should be able to see their wedding news today. Watch it yourself. I'm done. From now on, even I won't come see you anymore..."
Kathy finished speaking and left without waiting for Chase's frantic shouts behind her.
At lunch that day, every channel broadcast news of Adrian and Serena's wedding.
Chase refused to accept this reality. He went crazy in the prison, screaming that Serena was his wife.
No one believed him.
After all, how could the CEO of Locke Group's wife be the wife of a convict?
Everyone thought Chase had lost his mind.
...
The wedding venue, however, was a scene of pure white perfection and vibrant life.
This was the most prestigious convention center ballroom in New Valley.
The entire space had been completely transformed—Adrian had spared no expense to create a grand, pristine hall wrapped in magnolia blossoms.
No excessive ornamentation, only ultimate simplicity and grandeur.
White magnolias bloomed in layers, their petals clean and translucent, refracting light like frozen moonlight.
Wind flowed gently from hidden ventilation systems, carrying the faint scent of magnolia—crisp and refined.
The aisle wasn't ordinary red carpet but a translucent frosted crystal walkway covered with a light layer of magnolia petals, forming a floral corridor.
Serena stood at the end of the corridor.
Her wedding dress was also minimalist in cut, without excessive design, only embroidered with subtle magnolia patterns at the shoulders and train that appeared and disappeared as she moved.
Sarah walked with her slowly onto the crystal pathway.
Hidden warm white LED strips beneath lit up with each step they took, making it seem as if they walked on flowing light, refracting dreamily through the gaps in the petals.
Serena felt like each step landed on clouds—floating, unreal.
If not for Sarah standing beside her, personally walking her down the aisle—
If not for Adrian standing opposite her in his groom's attire, smiling quietly as he waited—
She truly would have thought this was a dream.
This was a scene she wouldn't dare imagine even in dreams.
When they finally reached Adrian—
Sarah looked at him. "Adrian, I'm entrusting my most precious sister to you."
Adrian's lips curved slightly, but his words were for Serena. "For this life and the next, I will never fail you."
He extended his hand to her.
Sarah held Serena's hand and solemnly placed it in his palm.
Sarah quietly withdrew.
Before countless watching guests, Adrian and Serena exchanged rings.
The officiant recited vows.
But Adrian seemed not to be listening. His eyes never left her.
Her shy, beautiful face reflected in his eyes.
His heart and eyes were full of her.
"May I now kiss my bride?"
Adrian looked at her with a smile.
Serena nodded shyly.
They embraced deeply and kissed.
A long kiss that seemed endless.
In that moment, the entire world seemed to disappear, leaving only countless petals dancing in the air.
Sarah watched this pure, flawless world, then looked up at the azure sky. Grandpa, I've sent Serena to his side.
She'll be happy.
Don't worry.
A magnolia petal drifted gently onto her hair.
Frank reached up to remove it for her.
Sarah met his gaze briefly and said lightly, "Let's go."
Frank nodded.
While everyone's attention remained on the newlyweds onstage, Sarah and Frank quietly left...
—The End—
