    "Nn!" Nicole screamed, frantic.


    For the first time, she regretted getting injured earlier, which had taken a great toll on her agility and


    dexterity.


    Time was running out, and Nicole was close to having a breakdown. However, she still did her best to


    get to Nn and Raine before the former could be injured.


    "Bahaha!" Raine burst into maniacalughter, raising the knife to strike Nn.

    "Ugh... Ah!"


    With a sharp scream, the air in the room froze. Everyone''s minds went nk, as if time itself had


    stopped, and some even closed their eyes, afraid to witness what was happening in those final


    moments.


    But then, there was nothing but silence, a deathly silence... and then a loud thud.


    Following a muffled groan, the first floor erupted into chaos, and those on the second floor slowly pulled


    themselves back to reality.


    "Daddy! Nn!" Lana cried out before running toward Jared and Nn, before burying herself in


    Jared''s arms, sobbing," Daddy... Nn! You''re okay?"


    Jared carried Lana up, his voice soft as heforted her," It''s okay, Lana. Don''t cry. Nn''s fine. We''re


    all fine now."


    Nn looked at Jared in a daze. He was actually frightened while he was being held hostage, but he


    did all he could to suppress his fear as he did not want Nicole to worry.


    He really thought he was going to die, but at the veryst second, a strong arm had wrestled him away


    and embraced him.


    It was the first time he had experienced such an embrace, one that Nn could not exin, though it


    felt peculiar.'' Maybe this is what security feels like, the sense of security from a father.''


    "Nicole!" June and Lulu rushed over to support Nicole, preventing her from tipping over.


    Barely holding on, Nicole looked at Jared with tears in her eyes. Jared had appeared, Nn was safe,


    and as she realized this, she felt like she could finally breathe again.


    "Mommy! Are you okay?" Nn and Lana asked in concern, looking at Nicole''s weakened state.


    Jared approached Nicole with Nn and Lana, after which he gently ced Nn in her arms. As she


    felt Nn in her embrace, tears streamed down Nicole''s face uncontrobly.


    "Nn, I''m so sorry. It''s all Mommy''s fault. I couldn''t protect you," Nicole tightly held Nn while she


    sobbed, as if this was the only thing she could do to make herself feel at ease.


    Seeing this, Nn wrapped his arms around Nicole''s neck andforted her, "Don''t cry, Mummy. I''m


    fine, and it''s not your fault. It''s that bad woman''s fault."


    As Raine was mentioned, the Riddle family and the bridesmaids finally recalled that Raine had fallen


    from the balcony, and the chaos downstairs was likely caused by her plunge. However, they did not


    know what had happened to Raine after she had fallen from such a height...


    Soon, the police and ambnce arrived, with thetter taking Raine away, while the police left after


    they had obtained the surveince footage from the scene.


    At that moment, no one knew how to proceed with the wedding anymore.


    "We are sorry for this sudden turn of events. We won''t keep you any longer, and the Riddle family will


    offer you eachpensation as apology," Mr. Riddle Sr. loudly announced.


    "Please don''t apologize, Mr. Riddle Sr. We won''t be in your way now."


    After sending everyone off, Mr. Riddle Sr. turned to June and Lulu and said "The Riddle family is truly


    sorry about this. About your wedding, why don''t we..."


    Immediately, June and Lulu exchanged nces and replied, "Grandfather, the wedding has already


    We''re now a family, and nobody has wronged us."
