Clarence had no interest in comforting his overly emotional mother. He just sat there, eyes glued to his phone, clearly busy messaging someone.

The music kicked in, and finally, the bride and groom made their grand entrance.

Everyone turned to look. Clarence reluctantly looked up from his phone and faced the door with the rest of the Lancasters.

Meanwhile, in the cozy villa filled with beautiful decorations, Claudia poked at the man draped over her like a big, lazy dog, whining for her attention. Tilting her head, she stared at the TV, where the bride was forcing a smile and the groom looked completely dead inside.

The wedding video was very romantic. Jasper was stunned by how many photos and clips he actually had with Lydia.

Thinking back to all those times he ditched Claudia without hesitation, he couldn’t deny the guilt eating at him.

The video switched to one of Lydia’s birthdays. At the grand Lancaster celebration, surrounded by smiling faces from both families, Jasper had wrapped an arm around Lydia and led her into the first dance. From a distance, they looked like the perfect couple, blessed by their families.

The camera swept across the entire room, but Claudia was nowhere in sight.

Jasper’s eyes went red instantly.

The guests thought he was tearing up from memories with the bride. But the Lancasters knew better. Watching that video was like being forced to relive their biggest mistake, helpless to change a thing. It was pure heartbreak.

Claudia had never known what a real celebration felt like.

Her birthdays had been filled with criticism and arguments.

But everything on that screen should’ve been hers.

Lottie suddenly covered her mouth, leaning against Wilson’s trembling chest as silent tears streamed down her face.

Zane’s fists clenched tightly as he stared at his younger self laughing on the dance floor.

Chapter 368 Everything Should’ve Been Hers

Back then, Claudia had been Jasper’s real girlfriend.

Lydia had no shame. Every bit of her love was built on stealing Claudia’s place. How could she flaunt that with pride?

Tybalt and Sylvia looked just as torn.

Who would’ve thought that the “perfect match” they once supported would crash and burn like that? Both the Fentons and the Lancasters had also fallen from grace.

The only one enjoying the show was Lydia, lost in the glow of her past. Her eyes were dreamy, completely obsessed with her former self.

Off–camera, Sterling lowered his head and kissed Claudia’s forehead softly as she watched the screen in his arms.

Those people had been fools, never knowing her worth. But now, she was his treasure, and he’d make sure to repay every bit of what she lost twice over.

Most of the guests didn’t understand why the mood suddenly turned so gloomy after the wedding video played. Still, the emcee could feel it.

He’d hosted plenty of fake–happy weddings before, but something about this one was just off.

The decorations were stunning, the place looked like a dream, and the bride couldn’t stop smiling. Yet somehow, the whole thing felt more like a funeral than a celebration.

The emcee sneaked a look at the groom, who reeked of alcohol and had bloodshot eyes, then at the family below the stage, crying their eyes out. Trying to shake off the weird feeling, he cleared his throat and forced a laugh.

“So, uh, haha, our lovely bride and groom are truly a perfect match! It’s rare for childhood sweethearts to finally get married. Let’s give them a big round of applause!”

Come on, clap, people!

The clueless guests followed his lead and started cheering and clapping until the room finally felt less tense.

But before the emcee could relax, the bride turned and gave him a cold, spine–chilling stare.
