Chapter 2

"Hold her, don't let her go!" Regina ordered and several women immediately grabbed me.

I was wearing a white long dress, which made it difficult for me to move around and now I could not move anymore.

"You have accepted the wedding gifts from our family and obtained the marriage certificate with Garvin, so you are now part of our family. How can a daughter-in-law disobey her mother-in-law? Kneel down and apologize quickly, don't delay the wedding ceremony!" Regina said viciously as she put her hands on her hips.

"Wedding gifts? I paid for all the houses in your family and your twelve thousand gifts can't even buy a bathroom. Do you want to play tricks? Let me tell you, you picked the wrong person!"

I grabbed a hairpin from my head and thrust it hard into Catalina's hand which was holding onto me.

"Ah, she stabbed me, she stabbed me!" Catalina screamed in pain.

"You're not short of money, but don't forget that your brother is about to take the college exam soon." Garvin snapped.

My parents passed away a long time ago and my younger brother was my only relative.

"You also know that I work at the Department of Education. With just one word from me, your brother doesn't even have the qualification for the college entrance exam." Garvin showed a smug smile on his face.

"Your brother has good grades in the summer, right? He's a good candidate for Decelis University. If he couldn't go to college because of you, how miserable he would be. If he had some depression and jumped off the building, that would be such a pity. Tsk tsk tsk ...."

I might not consider myself, but I must consider my brother.

"I'm telling you, stop being stubborn. If you bow and pay respects, you won't lose anything." Catalina came to pull me.

I shook her hand off and said, "In that case, let's each make concessions. I'll bow and pay respects to your late wife and you promise not to cause trouble for my family and ask the teacher to give my brother extra tutoring."

"It's a deal." Garvin agreed.

Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Garvin's mother did not force me to kneel and apologize anymore, but asked me to bow and pay respects in front of Maria's tombstone.

Due to the long delay, my cousin called me urgently.

"Ophelia, where are you? The ceremony is about to start. The MC is urging us."

Garvin gave me a glance and I pretended to be relaxed, saying, "We'll be there soon."

At the wedding venue.

I found an opportunity to say a few words to my cousin in private and then gave him some addresses and phone numbers.

"Garvin, you son of a bitch, if you dare to bully me, I will make you lose face in front of everyone. Aren't you deeply in love with your late wife? Let everyone see your deep love today.”

Garvin and I met on a blind date. As we all know, on the blind date, the probability of being able to meet a normal man in the system, with a height of 180 centimeters and a decent appearance, was extremely high.

Besides, Garvin also had a postgraduate degree from a well-known university and I was instantly enchanted.

Although his hometown was in the countryside, his mother was unemployed and he did not have a house in the city, I did not care. After all, my financial situation was much better than his, so we could just complement each other.

Only after we confirmed our relationship did he tell me that he had a son.

"But my son is very young. You will be his mother after we get married and he will not remember his biological mother." He comforted me.

I believed his words and then under his indirect hint, I bought him a car and then let him and his mother move into my vacant house.

I did not expect him to make such a fuss for me on the wedding day.

The wedding march began to play slowly.

The ceremony began soon. I changed into my wedding dress and walked slowly into the hall arm in arm with Garvin, who was wearing a suit.

Regina and her female relatives in the audience all looked at me with a mocking expression.

I resisted the nausea and the urge to take action as I interacted with Garvin on stage and listened to the MC give some clichéd wedding speeches.

Just as the ceremony was about to come to an end, my cousin finally showed up.

He was pulling a small cart covered with a red cloth.

My cousin came up on stage, snatched the MC's microphone, patted it for three times and said, "Hello! Hello! Hello everyone, I am the bride's brother Dario Spencer. Today is Ophelia and Garvin’s wedding day. So, I have a gift specifically for Garvin, my brother-in-law."

Garvin looked confused and lowered his voice to me. "What the hell is going on?"

Dario pulled the cart onto the stage and lifted the red cloth. “Dang dang dang dang~”

The people around were shocked to see it.

"No way, is this brother sick? Who would give this as a gift for a wedding?"

"Oh my God, what the hell!"

In the middle of the stage, there was a sturdy tombstone.

"What the hell! What do you mean by giving this to me?" Garvin's expression changed.

"Today is my sister's wedding day and Garvin unexpectedly dragged her to bow to his late wife!"

Dario's voice was excited and booming, carrying throughout the hall.

The invited guests were in an uproar. "How is this possible? How can anyone do something like this?"

"That's right. Garvin is a scholar. Scholars value friendship and loyalty the most. I think he still can't forget his late wife, so I moved his late wife's tombstone here. Instead of forcing him to marry my sister, it's better to let him live with this tombstone for the rest of his life!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Get your ass down here!"

Regina wanted to rush onto the stage, but was stopped by the people my cousin brought.

Although my cousin was not very wealthy, he ran a carving factory with hundreds of workers. When he told everyone about my situation, more than a dozen men immediately rushed over.

One of the invited guests stood up and said, "This man's behavior is too impolite. There's no reason for the bride to bow to his late wife. Isn't this just a show of power?"

"Yeah, what era is this? You're still thinking about having a wife and mistresses. Don't you even consider whether you have the confidence to do so?"

“That's right! The house his family lives in is all Ophelia's, yet he dares to do such a despicable thing!"

Dario continued to indignantly accuse Garvin's family of various despicable practices and the people listened with great interest.

After all, compared to an ordinary wedding, a dramatic wedding like this was out of reach.

Garvin's face filled with anger. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth as he said to me, "If you dare to do this, aren't you afraid that your brother will lose his qualification for the college entrance exam?"

I burst out laughing when I heard that and coincidentally, my younger brother also arrived at that time.

I pointed at my younger brother and said, "He? The college entrance exam? Do your homework before threatening others."

Counterattack.
