Chapter 55 055

• The top floor of one of the biggest buildings in Wembley’s estate was perfectly arranged as people gathered for the wedding. It was being held in an open space, where the calm breeze gently touched everyone. Being a private and urgent affair, not many people were invited—only a few prominent men and close friends attended. Outside, some journalists were restricted from entering to prevent overcrowding. Most people were not particularly excited about Wuyan getting married but were eagerly anticipating it because it was the only time she would reveal her face in public.
• There had been various speculations about her appearance. Some said her face was disfigured by a terrible acid accident when she was just two years old; others claimed she had the face of a beast, which was why she always covered it. Whatever the truth was, the public was about to find out, as a good number of journalists were present, ready to live-stream the event.
• The wedding had already begun when Bryan arrived with Miss Silvia—who held him tightly as they walked in. He noticed some men seated next to Mr. Warren, and among them was Mr. Phill. His eyes darted to his left, where they caught sight of Miss Wuyan. She was seated with her face still covered by a veil, but she quickly turned away when she saw him. He took a seat, realizing she had done that because she wasn’t comfortable with the way Silvia was holding him. 'Is that jealousy I smell?' he thought as he sat down, unable to take his eyes off Wuyan, who sat comfortably, like a queen. Even with the veil, she looked alluring.
