Chapter 335
“Here comes the bride!” The officiant announced.
Amidst enthusiastic applause, Dahlia walked in. She looked gorgeous in a beautiful white gown. and took her place at the altar on stage.
“Oh, my God! The bride is so pretty. She looks like an angel!”
“They look so good together. They are truly a match made in heaven!”
Following her appearance, the atmosphere grew increasingly lively as the crowd looked on in admiration.
The ceremony officially began with Dahlia’s parents, John and Florence, seated in the front row alongside Luis’ fourth uncle. Seeing the both of thein standing at the altar together, Florence couldn’t hide the smile on her face.

“What’s happening? Why isn’t the bride saying anything?”

As a result of her actions, a wave of dissonant murmurs swiftly swept across the venue.
“What’s the meaning of this, Dahlia? Are you embarrassing me on purpose?” Luis narrowed his

“If you dare humiliate me today, our previous agreement will be thrown out the window! I can’t guarantee what will happen then!”
Dahlia clenched her fists at his words, finally giving in.
“I
She was about to exchange her vows when a resounding crash reverberated through the hall. The doors had been kicked open, and at the same time, a tall figure strutted in proudly.
“Dustin! Why are you here?” Florence slammed her hand on the table and shot up to her feet,
feeling shocked and furious.
“I’m here to… steal the bride!”
