Before the emcee on stage could react, Terry had already rushed up to pull Jessica.
Lucas also reached out to pull Jessica. Jessica's wedding dress was heavy. She was first pulled by Terry and then by Lucas. She staggered a few steps, and the veil on her head loosened. With Lucas pulling it down, the veil fell off.
"That's not Jessica!"
Someone from the front row cried out. Suddenly, people all realized that the bride was not Jessica. They hurried to take out their phones to take pictures.
"It isn't Jessica! Heavens! The person who's marrying Mr. Thomas today is not Jessica!"
"It's Luna, Mr. Thomas' first love! What's going on? I thought this was Jessica and Lucas' wedding!"
"Oh, dear! Is today's wedding actually for Luna and Mr. Thomas? That's why not many Halls have shown up."
The bride on stage was not Jessica, which made the guests below the stage curious and shocked.
The bride on stage was not Jessica!
This fact not only shocked the guests but also Lucas and Terry.
Jessica did not expect that Terry would come up on stage. She thought Terry wouldn't be so impulsive, yet he still stood out.
Jessica was settling the old scores with the Thomas family, so she didn't want to get Terry involved.
Seeing him on the stage, Jessica called out to him in a mess, "Terry."
Her voice was not loud. The venue was big, but Jessica was right down the stage. Terry had already seen her before she made a sound.
Jessica was wearing a plain long dress today. Her hair was tied up and she wore a pair of sunglasses.
No wonder no one noticed that Jessica was down the stage. With her attire, most of the guests thought that she was a star that came to liven things up.
Terry quickly reacted, turned around, and got off the stage, walking towards Jessica.
On the stage, Lucas also saw Jessica.
Noticing his gaze, Jessica no longer concealed her face. She directly took off the sunglasses on her face, revealing her delicate face.
Someone quickly recognized her. "Jessica's there."
"That is Jessica! The person on the stage is not Jessica! The bride is not Jessica!"
The surrounding people were all gossiping. Jessica and Lucas looked at each other for two seconds. There was a faint sadness in her eyes. Her red lips parted slightly and she mouthed, "Sorry."
Under the light, Lucas' face turned slightly pale. He turned his head and looked at Luna in her wedding dress. "What are you doing here?"
Luna looked at Lucas, her gaze falling on his red eyes, and the smile on her face froze. "I'm supposed to be your bride, Lou."
Luna could only pretend to be calm. The Thomas family would only recognize her once the wedding was done.
Half a month ago, when Jessica came to her with the offer of "cooperation", Luna thought Jessica was joking.
She didn't believe Jessica.
Jessica told Luna that both of them were just Justin's pawns. Justin was like an invisible hand moving them on a chessboard. But Luna still found it hard to believe Jessica.
After all, Luna had a history with Jessica, too.
However, Jessica called Luna yesterday, asking if she had made up her mind.
When Luna went out this morning, Trissy kept saying that this might be Jessica's trap.
If Jessica pointed out that Luna was the wrong bride in the process, Luna would be screwed. In due course, not only would the public criticize her, Justin wouldn't let Luna get away as well.
But when Luna saw Jessica, she suddenly believed her.
Luna didn't think Jessica was joking.
Thus, she changed into Jessica's wedding dress and put on her veil. As long as the wedding was over and Luna entered Thomas' place, her dream would be realized. Even if the Thomas family found out that she was not Jessica, they wouldn't drive her out, given the grand wedding. For the sake of their reputation, the Thomas family would still recognize her as Mrs. Thomas.
But Luna was not lucky enough. She could have succeeded if Terry hadn't shown up so early.
Now that the veil was off, everyone there knew she was not Jessica.
Lucas looked at Luna as if he was going to kill her.
