I Walked Away And He Lost His Mind (Zephyra and Steven) novel Chapter 517

The wedding had to happen quickly.

I was truly afraid of Steven. Subconsciously, I even felt that he might not be willing to let go, and if he found out I was marrying Horace, he might come and cause a scene. It wouldn't just be embarrassing for me.

It was better to keep the news quiet and get married while he was at his busiest.

He goes abroad, I get married. He returns, I go abroad.

It would be best if our paths never crossed again.

Horace didn't object, simply reassuring me, "No worries. Leave the rest to me."

With him here, my heart finally settled down a bit.

I was about to call Rachel to tell her about the wedding when she called me first, her voice filled with excitement.

"Zephyra, they found the man who scammed my dad! He's been arrested! It was for fraud, but since he didn't actually get any money from my dad, the police said it would be hard to make the charges stick. But then he offered to pay my dad back!"

"He paid back and now wants to settle with our family. I was going to sue him, but my dad said he wants to open his shop, and that guy won't be in jail for long anyway. He said it's better to forgive when you can, so he agreed to the settlement."

"Anyway, this whole ordeal is finally over. I'll pay you back your money right away."

I was surprised. "He paid you back?"

Had Verna managed to raise the money? I had threatened her to pay it back, but logically, shouldn't she have transferred the money to me? Why directly to Rachel?

Or could it be... that Steven was behind this?

Rachel's voice was high with excitement and joy.

"Yes, he did! The money has already come through, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to settle." Then she added, sounding puzzled, "Actually, I don't know why he suddenly turned himself in and paid the money back. He was so polite to my dad. I feel like he was scared of something. But anyway, for our family, this storm has passed."

My eyes flickered, but I smiled and said, "That's good. As long as the ending is good, the process doesn't matter."

Whether it was Steven's doing or Verna had a change of heart, the matter was resolved, and everyone was happy. That was good enough.

Rachel was ecstatic. "Yes, yes!"

I told Rachel about the wedding. She was my only maid of honor. The wedding was so rushed that I only dared to tell her after everything was set. But since the preparation time was short, her dress would have to be fitted along with mine.

Rachel was stunned for a few seconds, then her voice filled with joy. "You two are finally getting married! This is another huge piece of good news! I'm so happy for you! When's the wedding? I can't miss it!"

I told her the date.

Rachel sounded surprised.

"That's so soon. Will you have enough time? Planning a wedding is a lot of work."

I laughed. "We're keeping it simple. It'll be fine."
