Chapter 9 The Incident At The Wedding
The party was still going on at the Mo mansion. The crowd gathered and everyone enjoyed the beat of
the drums. The wedding cars were decorated with bright red roses and dolls hugging each other on the
front. Amelia felt quite ufortable at the sight of the red roses.
Soon, the main wedding car arrived and it pulled over in front of the Mo mansion. Jasper got off the car.
He looked absolutely refreshed and joyous in his beige suit. He wasughing merrily. The word
"groom" was written across his chest. Amelia stood behind the crowd and watched the man she had
once loved ept congrattions for his marriage.
Amelia was quite a vision in her red coat, with her long curly hair, and made-up face. Needless to say,
she stood out amongst the crowd.
As his eyes swept through the crowd, Jasper found Amelia standing in the distance. The smile on his
face disappeared at once. He bowed apologetically to the people surrounding him before walking
towards Amelia.
"Amelia, thank you foring." Amelia was lost in her own thoughts, so she was frightened when she
suddenly heard this voice.
''Ha ha. This is so funny. He''s acting as if he needed me here to get married,'' she thought snidely to
herself.
Amelia smiled faintly despite the mixed feelings that were stirring up in her heart. She said politely, "I
wish you happiness. I hope you have a good marriage."
A sheepish smile appeared on Jasper''s face.
"Of course, Amelia, I''m going to have a good marriage with Jasper." Ynda suddenly appeared in her
white wedding dress.
With an embarrassed look on his face, Jasper was worried that Ynda would make things difficult for
Amelia. He hurriedly approached Ynda and said, "Ynda, the ceremony''s at ten. I thought you
wanted to fix your makeup. I''lle with you now."
Ynda shook off Jasper''s hand and warned Amelia with a ferocious look on her face. "Just because
you''re married to Lucian doesn''t mean you can do whatever you want. I''m telling you that I''lle for
you once I''ve found a ce in the city with Jasper."
It was no secret that Ynda was a fierce woman. She wouldn''t hesitate to take what Amelia had
especially if she knew that it was what Amelia had always wanted. At that time, Amelia thought this was
all just a game for Ynda. While she really didn''t care, she just didn''t expect Ynda to fight this hard
for her love.
The crowd was buzzing as they pointed and stared at Amelia.
"Ynda, you''re the bride, right? Shouldn''t you be focusing on getting married?" Lucian suddenly said.
Upon hearing his voice, people turned to look at Lucian instead.
"Oh my God! Isn''t that the CEO of the Zhan Group? I didn''t expect him to be so young and handsome!"
"They said he married the second daughter of the Mo family and they want to keep things in private. He
admitted their rtionship to the press, but they still want to be given their privacy. Can you imagine?
What a lucky girl his wife is!"
"If I ever married someone as handsome as that, I would just die!"
The gossip continued.
Even if Lucian didn''t really say anything, the crowd was going nuts over his mere presence. After this,
Jasper''s face darkened and Ynda was visibly furious.
Ynda had always been a jealous woman. She couldn''t stand the idea that on her own wedding day,
someone else was getting the attention! They were also focusing on Amelia''s husband instead of
Jasper!
She couldn''t bear this anymore.
"Shut up, all of you!" she turned around and shouted at her bridesmaids.
Everything suddenly quieted down.
Ynda had always been short-tempered. She often shouted at her servants for being stupid.
The four bridesmaids exchanged nces when Ynda red up. After looking at each in obvious
difort, they said, "Ynda, this is your wedding day. We want you to have a good time, but we just
can''t do this—not if you''re like that. We just can''t be your bridesmaids anymore."
With that, the four of them left hand in hand.
The atmosphere was thick with tension. Ynda had always been a proud person. She stiffened when
her four bridesmaids walked out on her. She threw herself into Jasper''s arms and cried, "The wedding''s
off!"
"Ynda, what''s happening?" Sophia had just walked in from the outside and she had no idea what
was happening. However, upon seeing her daughter in tears, she turned her eyes toward Amelia,
immediately assuming that it had something to do with her. ''Amelia must have said something to upset
Ynda. Why else would she be crying on her wedding day?''
"Mom, you always told me that I''m so lucky to be marrying Jasper, but I don''t have bridesmaids
anymore. What do I do?" Ynda whimpered, her hands wrapped around Jasper''s waist.
Amelia was unfazed.
"Ynda, don''t cry. It''s so annoying. Your father isn''t feeling well, so all these wedding matters are
handled by me alone. Why are you getting angry? Be a good girl and don''t cry anymore," Sophia said
impatiently. After a while, she turned her attention to Amelia and said with a smile, "Your bridesmaids
just care about the money. Just let them go. Amelia is still here, right? Why don''t you ask her to be your
bridesmaid?"
"Mom, are you seriously telling me to ask Amelia to be my bridesmaid?" Ynda seemed surprised.
She reluctantly answered, her eyes filled with spite, "Even though she has married to Lucian, I know
exactly how she feels about Jasper and I don''t want her to be my bridesmaid!"
Even if Ynda had asked Amelia, Amelia wouldn''t even agree.
"Ynda, I don''t think it''s appropriate for you to say that in front of me." Lucian pulled Amelia towards
his body and spoke on her behalf. "I can forgive you for how you have treated her in the past but she''s
my wife now. You better watch your mouth!"
Ynda''s face turned white as a sheet when she heard this. She pursed her lips and tightened her grip
on Jasper''s arm, feeling aggrieved. She was too angry now and she couldn''t lose face.
Amelia knew that Lucian only did that so they would look convincing as a couple to the crowd. But she
was still nheless moved. She smiled faintly as she looked at Lucian, giving him a look of gratitude.
In response, Lucian''s heartbeat quickened. He was quickly able to recover and returned to his usual
indifferent self.
Jasper noticed this and he felt a twinge pain shoot in his heart. If he was being honest with himself, he
would have broken up with Ynda a long time ago. Amelia was quiet and sensible while Ynda was
always making a scene and being unreasonable. They were the exact opposites. Regret soon filled his
heart.
However, in order to get the property of the Mo family, he had no choice but to marry Ynda.
"Lucian, Ynda and Amelia have always fought ever since they were little, so don''t take them too
seriously. It''s almost time for the ceremony. Just let Amelia be her bridesmaid." Sophia was good at
gauging people. She also knew Lucian was a powerful man and with his background, one couldn''t
afford to offend him. She tried to show him respect even if she felt that her daughter was wronged.
"Mrs. Sophia, if you want Amelia to help, you have to ask her yourself. I''m not in the position to make
decisions on her behalf." With a faint smile on his face, Lucian looked at Amelia, his eyes full of
tenderness and affection.
When Amelia met with Lucian''s eyes, she felt somefort take over her restless heart.
She just wanted to stay out of this whole thing, but she couldn''t. It was up to her to decide now. She
nced at the angry and indignant Ynda, still uncertain what to do next. She looked at Lucian,
hoping he would decide for her.
Noticing the confusion in her eyes, he said, "As a member of the Mo family, she will agree to help even
though she doesn''t want to."
Lucian was right. Amelia really didn''t what to help, but she knew that she should. She was Ynda''s
sister after all. She needed to be there for Ynda mostly to save herself from the snidements
their friends and rtives might say. Even though Ynda wasn''t her biological sister, she knew she
needed to do this.
"Amelia, I know we''ve had a rocky rtionship before, but from now on, I''ll treat you as if you were my
own daughter. Thank you for helping Ynda," Sophia said sweetly. Her red embroidered dress really
made her stand out.
The look on Amelia''s face darkened. She wasn''t pleased to hear these wordsing from Sophia''s
mouth because she knew that they were just lies.
Sophia used to mock her just so her daughter would have the spotlight and be able to enjoy the
privileges of being in the Mo family. She had even tried to sabotage Amelia''s rtionship with Vernon.
What still hurt Amelia to this very day was the death of her mother, Iris Liu.
Iris hadmitted suicide by taking poison, but of course, Sophia was still very much involved in it.
"Amelia, I know I was wrong to steal Jasper away from you. But you''re happy now with Lucian. So we
can bury the hatchet already. I know you want to help me unless you''re still in love with Jasper!"
Ynda said disdainfully as she pulled away from Jasper.
Naturally, Amelia was irritated. She knew her ce. She was Amelia Mo, Vernon''s biological daughter.
She would always have a ce in the Mo family. No matter what, she would always have a special
ce in Vernon''s heart. Amelia couldn''t bear Ynda who behaved so arrogantly while asking for help.
So she decided to fight back.
"Ynda, would it kill you to say ''please'' and ''thank you'' even just for today? I thought your image and
reputation were most important to you. Hmm, I wonder why your best friends left you. So are you going
to ask me for help now?" Amelia fearlessly said, raising her chin and staring at Ynda straight in the
eyes.
Ynda froze in ce. She had not expected Amelia to snap at her like this.

Sophia was so embarrassed that she had to leave and go upstairs to talk to Vernon.
"Amelia, I''m not begging you today. If you don''t want to be my bridesmaid, I won''t force you. I will have
a grand wedding ceremony anyway!" Ynda was seething. She turned her head and shouted at
Jasper, who had stayed quiet all this time, "Jasper, let''s go!"
Amelia felt a gust of wind sweep across her face as the crowd started buzzing around them
again.
