Wedding Day Car Attack — I Ended It

We stayed silent the whole way home. When we arrived, I was ready to confront her and leave, but then I saw Ryan Scott lying on the couch—in my pajamas.

The place I had meticulously cleaned was a complete mess, and the red wedding double-happiness symbols on the wall had all been torn down.

Without even looking up, Sophia Bennett coldly ordered,

“Ryan will borrow your slippers. He took quite a beating from you and needs to rest here for a couple of days, so you can keep your shoes on inside.”

“The doctor said his bandages need to be changed on time. I’m busy with work and have already given him leave. You can take him to the hospital yourself.”

I couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh.

“Sophia, what makes you think I’d accept my wife cheating on me—and then personally take care of her lover?”

“Aren’t you giving yourself way too much credit?”

Sophia’s face flushed red in anger.

“Cheating? Can’t you talk without being so nasty?”

“I told you—Ryan only filled in for you at the wedding to deal with my parents. He’s the dignified only son of the Scott family. The fact that he’d lower himself to be my assistant and help me act the part—why are you being so petty?”

Ryan sat there, bored, watching the show.

My own temper was starting to boil over.

“Right—you’re noble, you’re pure, and I’m just the worthless one who’s never been good enough for you.”

“If you knew I had no money, why did you get with me in the first place? And today—married and still scheming to have someone crash my wedding car. You went to all this trouble just to make me step aside for you two, didn’t you? Fine. I’m agreeing now.”

“We’re done. There’s nothing more to say.”

At that, panic flickered across Sophia’s face.

“What do you mean, hire someone to crash your wedding car? I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Ryan stepped forward weakly.

“Adrian, don’t be mad at Sophia. It was my idea.”

“She was afraid you’d be too upset seeing the groom switched at the last minute, so I came up with this plan…”

“If you’re going to blame someone, blame me—it’s all my fault. Don’t fight with her over it.”

He pressed a hand to his forehead with a pained hiss.

Sophia’s expression immediately softened as she rushed to support him.

“It’s not your fault. You were just trying to help—otherwise the wedding wouldn’t have gone through at all!”

Then she turned to meet my gaze, her eyes igniting with anger again.

“Adrian, let me be honest with you—Ryan joined the company from the start to develop feelings with me. My family wanted me to marry into an alliance, but I never agreed.”

“If it weren’t for wanting to be with you, would I have been in such a bind?”

“We just had a wedding; we didn’t even register the marriage. Why are you acting like this?”

Seeing my cold, unyielding face, she softened her tone and reached for my wrist—only for me to pull away.

“Adrian, I’ve thought it through. Once we fool my family, we can have a smaller wedding—just the two of us. Wouldn’t that be nice?”

Behind her back, Ryan flashed me a taunting grin.

When she turned around again, he put on a look of polite understanding.

“Don’t worry, Adrian. I won’t interfere with your relationship. Once I’m healed, I’ll leave.”

“In the meantime, I’ll trouble you to take care of me.”

I let out a cold smirk and placed my hand on my suitcase.

“No need. If you left, Sophia would be in an awkward spot. The one who should go is me.”

“Sophia, if I liked you before, that was my blindness. From now on, if we meet again, we’re strangers.”

I turned to leave, but Sophia rushed forward to grab my suitcase.

“What did you just say? Say it again!”

“Adrian Scott! If you dare break up with me, I will never forgive you!”

I didn’t even lift my head.

“I don’t need forgiveness from someone who betrays love. Move.”
