"What did you say just now? Where's my father?"
Deborah could never have imagined that her father would disappear on the day of her marriage.
However, Nancy looked extremely anxious right now.
"I have no idea. Mr. Song will be here soon. I've been looking for Mr. Grey everywhere, but no one answered the phone. Oh, no, maybe something happened to him!"
Deborah stood up immediately upon hearing Nancy's words. Then, she lifted the hem of her dress and ran outside.
"Hey, Miss Grey! You're the bride, so you can't go out now."
The makeup artist yelled behind her.
However, Deborah turned a deaf ear to the makeup artist as she could only think about her father.
Where would her father goat this time?
Today was her wedding! Surely, her father couldn't be far away, but why couldn't she get through his phone?
A series of questions were swimming in her mind right now.
Suddenly, her cell phone started right.
However, Deborah had a bad feeling about this.
Then, she took out her mobile phone and noticed that an unknown number was calling her.
Deborah hesitated for a moment before she swiped the answer button.
"Hello? Who are you?"
"If you want your father to be safe, you'll have to take the chance to kill Mango today."
The voice was different as the person on the other line had used a voice changer.
After hearing this, Deborah's heart was instantly hanging by a thread.
"Who the hell are you? Today is my wedding. Let my father go!"
"As long as you promise to kill Mango today when you have the chance, I'll let your father go."
The other party said these words firmly.
Meanwhile, Deborah was about to break down emotionally.
"What are you talking about? Today is my wedding, so I don't want any blood to be spilt! Furthermore, Mango is my sister-in-law, so how could I possibly hurt her? If I do that, how could my wedding go on?"
"Haha! I don't give a sh*t about that. You can decide whether you are going to choose your husband or your father. Of course, I won't be so heartless to your father from coming to your wedding. He is in the cellar, so you can go get him, but I've poisoned him. If you fail to kill Mango today, he will die. Deborah, think about it. One of them is your father who raised you with great effort since you were a child, and the other one is a woman that isn't close with you. You should know who is more important."
The other party ended the call after saying that.
Right now, Deborah was freaking out!
"Miss Grey, you should go back first. Mr. Song will be here anytime soon. I'll go get him."
Meanwhile, Nancy managed to catch up with Deborah, so she stopped the latter from running out hastily.
However, Deborah looked at her and whispered, "Nancy, how many years have you worked for us?"
Nancy was a bit stunned by the question, but she quickly replied, "Almost twenty years."
"Ah, twenty years. You're almost like a mother to me. I remember that my mother passed away when I was three. At that time, you took care of me all the time, didn't you?"
Deborah looked at Nancy with tears in her eyes as she said this.
"Yes, Miss Grey. Why did you suddenly bring this up?"
Nancy couldn't help but feel a little upset when she saw Deborah's expression.
Deborah smiled, but there were still tears in her eyes.
"Yes, why am I telling you this? Perhaps I was too excited because it's my wedding today. Others have their mothers with them when they get married, but it isn't the same for me. Fortunately, I have you, Nancy. Thank you for taking care of me all these years!"
Nancy felt that Deborah was acting weirdly, but she still held the latter's hand and said, "The most important thing we have to do right now is to find Mr. Grey. What if he doesn't show up when Mr. Song is here? All the guests are here."
"My dad is in the wine cellar. Get someone to pick him up."
After Deborah finished her sentence, she lifted the hem of her skirt and walked towards the room. However, she had lost all the excitement that she had previously felt about marrying Walter.
Meanwhile, Nancy was stunned.
"The cellar? Why is he doing there? Miss Grey, how do you know he is in the cellar?"
However, Deborah didn't answer her at all.
After returning to the room, the makeup artist said reproachingly, "The groom will be here soon, but the makeup isn't done. Look at you, you are sweaty and need some touchup. By the way, have you found Mr. Grey?"
"Yes, I have."
Deborah nodded and stayed silent.
When the makeup artist saw that she didn't want to say anything else, the former stopped asking and began to concentrate on her makeup.
Meanwhile, Deborah had gotten one of her cousins to be her bridesmaid.
After Walter's procession arrived, the bridesmaids blocked their way at the entrance of the villa. Then, they sang some songs in a lively manner downstairs.
Deborah had looked forward to this moment, but now, she couldn't be happy at all.
The Grey family had always been screened their visitors strictly before letting them in. However, because of her marriage, many people had come into their house recently. Thus, the other party had probably taken this opportunity to sneak in and poison her father.
She had always worried that Bernard's men would attack Mango directly in broad daylight. However, she never imagined that she would be the one stabbing Mango today.
Suddenly, Deborah remembered how Zaddeus had taken care of her since she was a child.
His business was expansive, and he often went overseas. However, every time she missed him or when it was her birthday, he would rush back to keep her company.
Deborah knew that her father had devoted a lot of effort and love to her.
If their roles were switched today, and if someone had poisoned her and threatened her father, he would definitely save her without hesitation.
However, what about her?
What was she thinking right now?
