Chapter 309 Why Doesn't Your Philip Smile?
Everyone's eyes widened in disbelief at the scene playing out before them.
Next came a sex tape of Kaitlyn and Brock - absolutely unwatchable.
Brock had originally come because a girl he'd been pursuing recently was also attending the wedding today. He never expected this to happen.
Brock immediately turned to explain to the girl, only to receive the same treatment as Philip and Kaitlyn.
The girl slapped Brock hard across the face.
She had come today on behalf of her brother to deliver a wedding gift to Philip and never expected to witness such a disgusting scene.
"Brock, you're absolutely filthy."
The girl turned and left without hesitation, taking back the wedding gift she had brought.
Kaitlyn had just been enraged by the video of Philip and Cheryl, and now her affair with Brock was exposed too.
But it wasn't over yet.
The third video was a phone recording of her contacting Cheryl to find someone to disfigure and kill Lyra for her.
Hidden in the shadows, Cheryl sneered coldly. Everyone thought she was stupid, but in the endshe got her revenge.
Philip's eyes flashed with shocked disbelief.
Philip turned to look at the woman clutching his arm tightlyand, his voice trembling, said, “Lyra’s injury wasn’t an accident — you did this?”
Guilt flashed across Kaitlyn's face, but she still tried to explain.
"Who gave you permission to do that!" Philip roared. Ignoring her desperate grip, he pushed her away and tried to leave.
Philip was surprised about her taking money from Allannah, but not this angry. However, seeing Lyra unconscious in the video made his heart ache terribly.
Kaitlyn cried and grabbed his sleeve, but Allannah had someone pull her away.
Graham demanded Philip come home with him right now, while many friends crowded around trying to calm them down.
At some point, someone threw the first punch, and the wedding scene turned into complete chaos.
Sophia and Lyra took off their glasses and smiled at each other— they had no interest in what happened next.
After Philip did such things, when Graham and Allannah found out they were already filing for divorce, they wouldn't think it was Lyra's fault.
Before removing her glasses, Sophia spotted Cheryl standing behind a partition and also saw the camera she was holding.
She had to admit, the clarity of these glasses was really impressive.
She saw that while everyone was in chaos, Cheryl's face showed a satisfied smile of accomplishment.
Sophia frowned slightly, feeling like Cheryl was planning something more.
Her hunch was confirmed when they left the hotel.
Cheryl posted the wedding videos online, exposing both Lyra's married status and ruining Kaitlyn's image— killing two birds with one stone and even managing to restore her own image somewhat.
Since starting her career, Lyra had always taken her work as an actress seriously and had gained many fans.
When they saw that Lyra's injury was deliberately caused by Philip's mistress, they were outraged and flooded the Banks Group's official website.
Some even tracked down Kaitlyn's account—one she had recently created.
Kaitlyn had crafted a persona for herself as a wealthy CEO's childhood sweetheart who had returned from abroad.
It had to be said, Kaitlyn's ability to manipulate people's emotions showed real skill in storytelling.
Her first video gained over a hundred thousand followers.
Everyone was curious about who she had a crush on in college.
Now that they knew the truth, everyone felt like they'd eaten something disgusting through their screens.
Sophia watched video after video being exposed online and reminded Lyra to prepare a damage-control response.
"Cheryl may not seem smart, but she's just as crazy as Kaitlyn."
"She's planning to drag everyone down with her."
Lyra had just finished watching the online videos. Her fans were feeling sorry for her, and as the person involved, she didn't want to hide behind them. She handed her phone to Sophia, saying, "Take a photo of me."
Sophia glanced at where she was standing—not far behind her was the venue where Philip and Kaitlyn held their wedding.
Lyra was beautiful, so any photo looked good.
[Lyra: I'm fine.]
Four photos attached.
The first showed her wedding date.
The second showed photos of divorce registration materials two days later.
The third was a back view of her resubmitting materials at the courthouse yesterday.
The last was a current portrait of her with a bright smile.
The timeline in the images pushed the story back to the top of the trending topics.
Later, someone commented: 'So this is like returning a product during the marriage trial period?'
Online discussion about this matter grew more intense. When Philip saw the news online and opened Lyra's photos, he immediately figured out which hotel and floor the photos were taken from based on the angle.
When he drove back to the hotel and knocked on the door, Sophia had already left with Lyra and the children.
At a luxury restaurant.
James and Michael ate their steaks like little gentlemen, occasionally wiping Emily's mouth.
Emily happily ate her kids' meal, bite after bite, making Lyra, who was eating salad to watch her figure, suddenly hungry.
After lunch.
Lyra rubbed her stomach and said helplessly, "Sophia, I can't eat with Emily anymore. This kid makes eating look so good, I can't help but eat too much."
Hearing her name, Emily looked up from her cartoon bowl, innocent and confused.
Emily said, "What?"
Lyra gently touched her face. Just as she was about to wipe her mouth, James had already reached over with a tissue to clean the soup from Emily's mouth. Emily cooperatively turned her face.
As soon as he finished, Michael had already peeled shrimp and put them on her plate, reminding her to blow on them before eating.
Emily's voice rang out, "Thank you."
The heartwarming scene made Lyra's eyes prickle with envy, and she couldn't help turning to look at Sophia beside her.
Sophia caught the eager look in her eyes and quickly stopped her.
"No way. If you want one, have your own."
Lyra fell silent.
Just as she was about to playfully pester Sophia, she saw Philip rushing toward them from the restaurant entrance.
Philip was still wearing his white wedding suit. Lyra was wondering what he was doing here when she saw him heading straight for her.
Sophia followed her gaze and saw Philip approaching their table.
Philip came over, wanting to pull Lyra into his arms, but Sophia blocked him.
"Sophia, this is between my wife and me! It's none of your business! Move!"
Philip was truly panicking inside.
He both hoped Lyra would come make a scene after learning about his wedding with Kaitlyn, and feared she wouldn't care at all.
Facts proved the latter was true.
At this moment, Kaitlyn, who had followed Philip all the way, was still wearing her elaborate wedding dress, her eyes red and swollen from crying.
"Philip, don't do this. Our wedding isn't over yet. You can't leave me alone."
In the past, whenever she cried, Philip would definitely feel sorry for her.
Now her eyes were swollen from crying, but there wasn't a trace of concern on his face. This made Kaitlyn feel very uneasy, afraid that her luxurious lifestyle would slip away.
Sophia stood up, blocking Lyra behind her, not hiding the disgust on her face toward Philip.
"Mr. Banks, let me correct you—Lyra has nothing to do with you now."
She glanced at Kaitlyn behind him and smiled, "The bride you've been thinking about for so many years is crying behind you. What's wrong, Mr. Banks? Not cherishing what you've got—is that your habit?"
"No wonder Ms. Davis had to fake her death to hold on to your heart. Who would've thought that after four years, she still hasn't completely won it?"
A few sentences mocked both of them.
The bodyguards waiting downstairs had also received word and come up.
The tense atmosphere was about to explode!
Emily's eyes darted between Philip and Kaitlyn.
She said with a laugh, making Kaitlyn uncomfortable, "Ma'am, why isn't your Philip smiling? Is he unhappy about marrying you?"
