He Loved My Sister. I’m Better Off Without Him novel Chapter 10

Chapter 100

Meanwhile, Brian had rushed back to find me after sending Adeline to the hospital. But Adeline clung to his arm to stop him. “Mum and Dad just called. They said they already rescued my sister and took her home. If you leave now, I’ll be all alone.” Brian couldn’t help but feel irritated with the crying Adeline. He kept recalling my last cold, distant look. It left behind a strange unease in his chest.N

However, Adeline kept talking, “Mum said Lilian’s resting. And you’re marrying her tomorrow, remember? It’s bad luck to see the bride the day before the wedding. You’ll see her tomorrow. Don’t worry.”

It was only after Adeline told Brian that I was safe and sound that he exhaled slowly. He told himself that he would make everything up to me tomorrow and for the rest of our lives.

The next day, the wedding was everywhere in the news. Everyone was talking about the grand union between the Wyatt and Herbert families, calling it the wedding of the century.

Brian stood at the altar, excitement lighting up his face as he saw the bride walking toward him in a sea of flowers. He rushed forward and pulled “me” into his arms.<

“Lilian, I missed you so much!” he said warmly.§

But then the bride turned around. Brian’s entire body froze. With a shocked expression, Brian angrily asked, “Adeline, why are you here? Where’s Lilian?“}

As soon as Brian stopped asking, Adeline stopped at her tracks. She couldn’t help but clutch the wedding dress tightly. Tears fell onto the hem like pearls from a broken string.

Her voice was trembling so much it was hard for her to breathe when she said, “Brian, Lilian is gone. Yesterday, she packed her bags and said she would never come back after she left the kidnappers.”

“I knew today was your wedding. I was afraid the marriage between our two families would fall apart. I didn’t want you to be humiliated, so I wore her wedding dress and stood here for her.“”

Brian’s eyes widened in shock. His fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white. His voice was sharp and filled

with disbelief.

“Impossible! Lilian promised me she would stay. She wouldn’t leave!”

The surrounding guests immediately broke into whispers.

“So the bride isn’t Lilian? Then, who is she?”

”

“Did Lilian run away? This was supposed to be the wedding of the year, but it has turned to this now

Brian ignored them all. Pushing aside the still–crying Adeline, he ran out of the hall. He grabbed his phone and dialed my number over and over with desperation. But no one answered. He called again and again, but there was only silence.

A heavy panic began to rise in him. It was a feeling he had never experienced before. Breathing hard, he opened our chat and began sending messages one after another with trembling fingers.

[Lilian, please stop being angry, okay? Where are you?]}

[Adeline was wrong to wear your wedding dress. I already scolded her. When you come back, I’ll have a hundred new ones made for you.]

[Please, just reply with one word. Don’t make me worry like this.]”

But no matter how many messages Brian sent, there was no reply. When he tried calling again, the cold automated voice answered.

“The number you dialed is turned off.”

Eventually, Brian became upset the moment Adeline and my parents came rushing out after him.

Adeline looked at him with reddened eyes as she confronted him in grievance, “Brian, how could you leave me there like that? Everyone was watching! The media, the guests… I was almost laughed out of the room!”

This time, Brian just frowned. He looked at her with a trace of irritation.”

“Adeline, I’ll say this for the last time. Today was supposed to be my wedding with Lilian, She is the only woman I will ever marry. You should never have been standing there in her place.“}

Adeline’s expression darkened for a moment, but she quickly replaced it with a pitiful look. She then tried to hold him, but he refused. Eventually, she sniffled as if gathering courage before speaking in a trembling voice, “Brian, I didn’t want to say this, but I can’t watch you be fooled anymore… ”

…

“Lilian hasn’t really loved you for quite a long time. Her private life is messy. She’s been with several men behind your back.” “When the Lloyd Family proposed a marriage alliance, she realized they were richer than the Herbert Family. She asked our parents for one billion dollars and left to marry into the Lloyd Family instead. Yesterday, she packed her bags and went to
