Chapter 527


    Meanwhile, Juniper was preparing for the ceremony backstage. Even if Carter''s lover had shown up,


    this farcical wedding would still need to proceed as nned.


    "Check if River A. has arrived," Juniper said while looking at herself in the mirror. Dressed in her


    wedding gown, she felt a bit dazed.


    It was indeed a beautiful wedding gown, beyond what a photo could capture. It fulfilled every girl''s


    fantasy of marriage. When Juniper insisted on choosing it herself and making so many demands,


    Carter had sneered, thinking she was being excessive.


    But of course… Carter did not understand what a wedding meant to a woman.


    If it were not for her persistence, perhaps someone else would be wearing this wedding gown right


    now.


    "River A. is already here."


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    Juniper nodded, turned her head, and saw her mother standing by the door, looking at her with teary


    eyes just like every mother sending her child off to get married. However, things were different. Juniper


    had alreadye to understand why her mother wanted to stop her, but there was no going back.


    "Mom."


    Ariana walked over and hugged Juniper, gently patting her back. "You look so beautiful."


    Juniper looked tired, but there was a hint of a manic glint in her eyes. She quietly wiped away the tears


    on her mother''s face. "Mom, you don''t have to worry. I used to be naive and believed in Carter''s


    nonsense, but I''m not stupid."


    At that time, she had already consciously or unconsciously turned the things Carter gave her into cash.


    Later, when she talked about cooperation with Carter, the secret stash she had amassed would be


    enough for her to make a big move and run away.


    Ariana did not know what Juniper had done, but looking at her state, she knew she must have done


    something bad.


    Thinking about the message that Hesper sent her before, Ariana could not help but sweat nervously in


    her heart. If Juniper really did something illegal and was discovered, even if Hesper promised to let her


    go, she might not be able to save Juniper.


    "Ah, sorry to disturb your tender moment."


    Carter knocked on the door. When he saw Juniper, his eyes brightened a bit. He could not help but


    whistle. "My wife looks so beautiful today. It seems marrying you was a wise choice."


    Juniper''s face turned cold and Ariana shook her head, but Juniper turned around and patted her on the


    back of her hand before pushing her aside.


    "Let''s go. It''s almost time for the wedding ceremony to start." Juniper turned her head to look at Carter.


    "Don''t forget our n. We''ve already spent too much effort acquiring the scattered shares of the Duval


    Group. If you still can''t obtain all the permissions of your family after we get married, it''ll be over for


    both of us."


    "Don''t worry, wife." Carter extended his hand, and Juniper expressionlessly ced her hand on top of


    his.


    The curtain lifted, and the actors appeared on stage.


    Flower petals rained down from above, and Hesper looked up thoughtfully. Then she saw Carter


    appear with Juniper holding his hand. Both of them were smiling, as if they had been looking forward to


    this day for a long time.
