The sound echoed in William's ears, and he found himself locked in the gaze of Brittany.
Standing at the far end of the crowd, Brittany's expressive eyes shone with an unwavering determination.
"William, are you being set up?"
Brittany couldn’t bring herself to believe that the always composed and gentle William had done such a thing, especially at an event like that.
Mrs. Dillion was overjoyed when she heard his agreement to the marriage.
Carla managed to break free from her brother's grip and threw herself into William's arms, sobbing uncontrollably.
Isaac turned his back on him, his gaze falling on Brittany. His voice was low and steady as he said, "Bri, let’s just put an end to this drama."
William had already admitted to it. What was she still holding onto?
Did she really think that the world was full of schemes? Or did she believe that he orchestrated that marriage?
Carla was hell-bent on marrying William. They couldn't really send him to prison. If he agreed to that marriage, everything else could be sorted out.
William forced a smile, “What you see is the truth.”
His smile was pained, eyes rimmed red, blood-soaked, and in complete disarray.
A pang of pain shot through Brittany’s heart. She braced herself and after a long while, managed a weak smile, “Congratulations on your wedding,”
Saying that, she turned away.
Carla was still crying in William's arms, her hand clutching his wound. The unseen blood seeped out, slowly falling drop by drop onto the ground.
Brittany didn't know how she got back to Radiant Residences, let alone how she got into bed. It felt as if something in her mind had shattered.
She met William when she was eighteen. Now, at twenty-nine, that event was eleven years ago.
He was always the best classmate, the best friend, and the most outstanding existence. How could he turn into a villain overnight, even admitting it himself?
She couldn't understand what went wrong.
