Everyone turned their heads.

A line of wedding cars entered the Sherwood family gates.

The procession came to a neat stop.

The lead car door opened.

Marcus Valentine stepped out in a black suit.

His face was dark. His eyes were tired.

Mina Sherwood stood frozen.

She stared at him in disbelief.

He had clearly said he wasn't coming...

Marcus ignored the surrounding gazes.

He strode toward Mina.

Mr. Sherwood hurried to greet him.

"Mr. Valentine, was the traffic bad?"

Mr. Sherwood tried to offer him an excuse.

Marcus scoffed.

"I overslept."

His voice was hoarse and impatient.

Anyone could see his displeasure.

Mr. Sherwood forced an awkward smile.

"It's not late at all. We're just glad you're here."

He reached out to usher Marcus inside.

"No need."

Marcus cut him off.

"We'll miss the auspicious time if we delay further."

He looked at Mina.

"Are you coming or not?"

Mina's eyes grew warm.

She lowered her head and whispered, "Yes."

Marcus turned and walked toward the wedding car.

He did not carry her.

Mina gathered her wedding dress and followed.

They got into the car.

Mina suddenly remembered Evelyn Ross.

She turned to look for her.

Outside, the crowd shifted.

It was impossible to distinguish anyone.

The groomsmen began arranging the bridesmaids into cars.

The Sherwood young ladies, along with Penelope Valentine and Chloe Roland, had dedicated escorts.

Only Evelyn Ross was left standing alone.

Her appearance was too striking.

She stood out prominently among the bridesmaids.

A groomsman moved to approach her.

Penelope Valentine stopped him.

"Miss Ross offended Chloe."

"Don't cause trouble."

Chloe Roland was the Roland family treasure.

No one wanted trouble.

The groomsmen all avoided Evelyn.

She stood there alone.

The center of attention.

Yet she showed no trace of embarrassment.

Evelyn remained completely composed.

She even surveyed the car line.

Looking for an empty car to enter herself.

Chloe Roland walked over to her.

"Miss Ross, feeling awkward?"

Evelyn looked at her calmly.

Chloe had changed.

She had become strange and sharp.

No trace of her former self remained.

"I can help you."

Chloe lowered her voice.

"I can have my brother come escort you to a car."

"The Roland family can also partner with NanTech Ltd."

She stared at Evelyn.

"Just give Alexander Vance to me."

Evelyn refused directly.

"Impossible."

Chloe's eyes turned cold.

"Alexander Vance doesn't have that much influence in New York."

"One word from me, and you won't be able to move an inch."

Evelyn scoffed and remained silent.

Chloe was thoroughly angered.

"Fine. Don't blame me for what happens next!"

She looked at the surrounding groomsmen.

"No one is to take her!"

"Don't let her in any of the cars!"

The procession leader looked troubled.

"Miss Roland, this isn't really appropriate..."

Penelope immediately supported her.

"What's inappropriate about it?"

The leader hesitated. "The wedding will be short a bridesmaid..."

Tina Sherwood smiled and interjected.

"Miss Ross can just drive herself."

The leader didn't dare say more.

Charles Valentine walked over.

"What's going on?"

The leader briefly explained the situation.

Charles frowned at Penelope.

"What's with this childish temper?"

"It's our eldest brother's wedding day. Don't make a scene."

Penelope pretended to be wronged.

"Second Brother, it's not me causing trouble."

"She hit our eldest sister before..."

"How can a daughter of the Valentine family tolerate such disrespect?"

Charles immediately became angry.

He was extremely protective of his two sisters.

Hearing that Evelyn had hit someone, his expression changed instantly.

"Someone like her doesn't deserve to be in a wedding car!"

"She shouldn't even be at the wedding!"

Charles waved his hand.

"Everyone, get in the cars!"

Tina Sherwood fawned over Penelope.

"Miss Valentine, your brother really dotes on you."

Penelope smiled smugly.

Chloe gave Evelyn one last look.

That face, so similar to her savior's, softened her heart for a moment.

But thinking of Alexander Vance hardened her resolve again.

Anyone could forget the savior.

But Alexander Vance could not.

People gradually entered the cars.

The procession slowly started.

No one paid any attention to Evelyn standing by the roadside.

She stood in her bridesmaid dress.

Watching calmly as the cars drove away.

Taxis were unavailable in the villa area.

Evelyn sighed softly.

She was pondering how to get to the wedding venue.

A black car suddenly stopped beside her.
