Chapter 15 The three words struck the wedding venue like a thunderbolt. Alexander collapsed straight backward the moment he spoke, hitting the red carpet with a heavy thud. "Alexander!" Emily screamed, lunging forward to catch him but only managing to grasp his slipping tie. Chaos instantly engulfed the scene. "What happened? Did Mr. Lee just refuse?" "Did I hear right? Is the wedding still on? Told you he can't be deceived..." "The Davis family's reputation is ruined. When he truly remembers that day..." Whispers rippled through the crowd as Emily stood on the stage, nails digging deep into her palms. Forcing a smile, she took the microphone from the host. "Distinguished guests." Her voice trembled slightly, yet she fought to maintain composure. "Alexander has been overworking himself for the wedding, and his health hasn't been ideal." "His doctor advised rest, but he insisted on proceeding today, not wanting to delay our special occasion." She paused, sweeping her gaze across the audience. "Who knew he'd collapse at such a crucial moment... Please don't misinterpret his earlier words." "I urge everyone to refrain from speculation. After all, the Lees and Davises have always been united." Her final words carried deliberate weight, sharp eyes locking onto the most vocal guests. They immediately fell silent, shifting their gazes awkwardly away. Olivia hurried onto the stage, whispering fiercely. 0.0 % 10:54 "What's going on? Wasn't my brother fine this morning?" "How should I know!" Emily hissed through clenched teeth, her smile straining. "Call an ambulance!" Turning back to the crowd, she reassumed her gentle and poised facade. "Today's ceremony is postponed. Thank you all for coming. We'll reschedule once Alexander recovers." Guests exchanged uneasy glances but gradually dispersed under the escort of Davis family bodyguards. After the ambulance sped away, only debris and a few staff remained in the deserted venue. Emily finally dropped her act, tearing off her veil and flinging it to the ground. "Damn it! Why would he refuse suddenly?" She paced furiously, stiletto heels crushing scattered petals. "Did someone tell him something?" "Are you certain Sophia said nothing to him before leaving?" "Absolutely not!" Olivia's face paled, fingers twisting her skirt unconsciously. "He... he couldn't have remembered everything, could he?" The words drenched Emily like ice water. She froze mid-step, pupils contracting. "Impossible! The doctor said his chances of memory recovery were minimal..." "But what if?" Olivia's voice quivered. "Remember how he was with Sophia? That madman would do anything for her!" 31.3 % Chapter 15 200 1419 She clearly remembered, not long after she was brought back, jealous that Alexander only treated Sophia well while ignoring her completely. She secretly called Sophia a bitch a few times. When Alexander heard it, he threw her into a dark room and locked her up for two full days before letting her out. If he remembered now, and knew what they did to Sophia...? "Shut up!" Emily sharply cut off Olivia's panicked thoughts. "Right now the priority is containing the information. We absolutely cannot let today's events leak!" She pulled out her phone and rapidly dialed several numbers. "Contact all major media outlets immediately! Pull all coverage of the Lee family wedding today! Also, guard the hospital. No one gets near Alexander's ward!" After hanging up, Emily took a deep breath and turned to Olivia. "You go watch the hospital. Notify me immediately if anything changes." "Me?" Olivia's eyes widened in terror. "Why me? What if he wakes up-" "Because you're a Lee!" Emily snarled, her voice low and vicious. "You're his sister! Nobody will stop you! He won't actually do anything to you! I need time to clean up this mess!" Olivia wanted to argue, but meeting Emily's ruthless glare, she could only nod reluctantly. "Remember." Emily grabbed her wrist, nails digging deep into flesh. "If he really remembers anything, we stick to the same story-Sophia chose to leave on her own. We knew nothing. Understand?" Olivia gasped in pain but didn't dare pull away, nodding frantically. Watching Olivia flee in panic, Emily finally collapsed, sinking onto the scattered train of her wedding dress. 58.3 % 10:54 Chapter 15 Her trembling hands fumbled for her cigarette case, but she couldn't light it. That Alexander who doted on her every whim just days ago... That Alexander who promised to marry her... Had publicly refused at the altar... If he remembered Sophia...
