Chapter 9 In the dressing room , Ella sat quietly in front of the mirror , letting the makeup artist draw her eyebrows and apply lipstick . The woman in the mirror had features as beautiful as a painting , almost unchanged from three years ago when she had run away from her wedding , except for her eyes , which now seemed even more cold and proud . She gently stroked the lace on the wedding dress , a faint smile playing at the corner of her mouth . Outside the door , Sophie stared fixedly at Ella's back through the half - open door crack , her fingernails digging deeply into her palm . Sure enough , as she had expected , Ella was not really " generous " at all ! She just wanted to take a step back in order to advance , so as to capture Cadoc's heart , she is really cun- ning ! What made her even angrier was that Cadoc actually agreed to have the wedding reenacted , even if it was just for show , which was enough to drive her jealous to madness . " Ella ... Sophie murmured softly , a hint of malice flashing in her eyes , " Do you think you can show off to me like this ? Dream on ! " She turned around and walked away , her high heels clicking on the carpet without making a sound . A moment later , Cadoc pushed open the door and entered . He was dressed in a sharp suit , but his handsome face was tinged with a hint of impatience . He glanced at Ella in the mirror and said lightly , " Today I will marry you properly , but I hope you won't trouble Sophie anymore in the future . " Ella lifted her head and met his gaze through the mirror , her eyes calm to the point of almost being in- different . She didn't answer , just made a soft " Hmm" sound . Cadoc furrowed his brow . 0.0 % 11.49 Chapter 9 288 Vouchers Ella in front of him seemed a bit different now , but he couldn't quite put his finger on what exactly had changed . Just as he was about to confirm further , the phone suddenly rang . " Mr. Fitzgerald , something terrible has happened ! the assistant's voice was filled with panic , " Ms. Pow- ell is missing ! " Cadoc's face changed suddenly , without thinking too much , he turned and rushed out of the dressing room . At the same time , in the airport lounge , Emma was bowing her head to organize her passport . The phone suddenly vibrated , and she glanced at it . It was a provocation message from Sophie . " Even at your wedding , Cadoc would still abandon you for me . Who do you think is more important in the end ? " She watched expressionlessly , then took out the SIM card and gently snapped it in half . " Click . " The sound of the card breaking was crisp and decisive . She threw the fragments into the trash can , as if discarding all the patience and pretense of the past three years . On the other side , at the wedding scene , there was chaos , with guests whispering and gossiping to each other . The host stood awkwardly on the stage , unsure of how to announce the delay of the wedding . In the dressing room , Ella waited for a long time , but Cadoc never came back . She stood up , ready to go out and check , when the door was suddenly pushed open . Cadoc stood at the door , panting heavily , his face looking terribly grim . His suit was a bit disheveled , with sweat dampening the stray hairs on his forehead , clearly indicating that he had rushed back all the way . " Ella , he said hoarsely , with suppressed anger , " Sophie had an accident , the wedding must be canceled . " Ella looked at him quietly and suddenly smiled , " Cadoc , are you sure you want to give up this wedding for a stranger ? " 39.6 % 11:49 Chapter 9 288 Vouchers Cadoc was taken aback for a moment , then said coldly , " She is not a stranger ! If it weren't for your pre- vious targeting of her , how could she have been so desperate ? " Ella shook her head , with a hint of pity in her eyes : " You are really pitiful . " Cadoc was angered by her words and was about to erupt , but then her phone rang again . He glanced at the caller ID and his face turned pale instantly . Cadoc stood at the threshold , looking at Ella in a wedding dress , a sarcastic smile playing on his lips as he spoke in a voice as cold as ice , " I just told you not to mess with Sophie , and you immediately ar- ranged for someone to kidnap her ? Do you have to bully her every moment of every day ? And now you're planning this kind of drama ? " Chapter 10 # 268 Vouchers Chapter 10 Discover our latest featured short drama reel.
