Chapter 1009
As he said this, someone happened to pass by and seemed to overhear. They shot the two of them a
weird look. Eleanor’s round face tumed all red and she quickly said, “Shut up, will you…”
She covered his mouth with her hand and said loudly, “Weren’t you the quiet type before? Howe
you’re so chatty now?”
Bernard opened his mouth to reply, but she pped her hand back over his mouth. “No more talking,
zip it!”
As this couple was yfully arguing. Aidyn arrived at the hotel with the bride and everyone in the
banquet hall took their seats.
The emcee took the stage, filling the atmosphere with cheer. He gave a long speech full of wedding
blessings before inviting the newlyweds onto the stage.
As the spotlight hit the bride, she glowed softly, making Dr. Naylor look like a fairy descended from
heaven.
She stood at the other end of the aisle, beaming, elegant and gracious, waiting for her handsome
groom toe to her…

Aidyn, holding roses, dressed in a ck tuxedo, hair slicked back, looked full of energy as he
approached Dr. Naylor.
After handing her the flowers, he took her hand, and under the apaniment of the wedding music,
they walked down the aisle towards the stage.
All the lights swept over the guests andnded on the newlyweds as they exchanged rings, made their
vows, kissed, and popped the champagne.
Then, they began to have a good time.
Caleb and Scott were the most boisterous…
They were having a great time, even rushing down to the audience to try and drag Bernard on stage for
a performance.
Bernard gave them a cold look and they immediately stopped.
Pearce Hooper, sitting next to Eleanor, looked like he wanted to give it a try, he pulled a grin and said,
“I’ll give it a go…”
Pearce had bullied Aidyn a few times before, Scott knew about this, “Go ahead, aren’t you afraid Aidyn
will punch you off the stage?”
Pearce put on a stiff smile that he thought was friendly. “Today is a special day, so he won’ty a hand
on me, don’t worry.”
It’s just a challenge to down a line of champagne, not a big deal. All he needed to do was offer a small
gold bar as a prize…
Prepared, Pearce ignored Scott and Caleb’s warnings and stormed onto the stage.
The stage was full of people messing around, but when he got up there, it turned into apetition
between him and Aidyn. Theypeted to drink lines of champagne, with each line adding a gold bar.
Pearce gave it his all, knocking Aidyn out in the end, taking a stack of gold bars and wobbling off the
stage…
Aidyn, on the other hand, just passed out and had to be helped into the car by the bride. Apparently,
Pearce’s antics ruined their wedding night. Dr. Naylor bore a grudge against Pearce, mocking him
every time she saw him.
After the wedding, the guests left one after another, and Liana sighed in relief watching the departing
crowd.
She couldn’t settle down and have kids, but her cousin could, and that was enough happiness for her.
Liana’s only wish was for Aidyn to stay by Mr. Laurence’s side, hoping he would always be happy and
safe.
After bidding farewell to Eleanor and Liana, Hailey decided to leave first. As she stood up, she noticed
a man sitting in a wheelchair at the other end of the VIP section.
He was dressed in a white shirt, which gave his face a more mature andposed appearance than
usual. In the past, he would have been the most active and lively person at such events, but this time,
he seemed subdued, sitting quietly.
He looked thinner, and his tall figure appeared somewhat frail. Though hisplexion had improved, it
still retained a slight paleness.
Cedric noticed that the crowd had mostly dispersed, so he maneuvered his wheelchair around to where
Hailey was waiting for the crowd to clear. Their eyes met, and rather than avoiding each other, they
simply stared.
Hailey wanted to look away quickly, but instead, Cedric nodded at her gracefully. Unlike their previous
interactions, his gaze now seemed much clearer, as if he had finally let her go from their past
entanglements.
After nodding politely, Cedric pushed his wheelchair towards another exit, without looking back.
Watching his back disappear into the crowd, Hailey retracted her gaze, picked up her pace, and walked
towards the exit of the banquet
hall.
After Aidyn’s wedding, Eleanor was busy handling Evelyn’swsuit, Liana was busy finding the truth to
prove Will’s innocence, and Hailey was busy meeting Yeager’s parents.
The meeting ce was the most expensive restaurant in A City, which required a one–month advance
reservation.
Marina said this showed Yeager’s family was taking her seriously and chose such a high–end
restaurant for the meeting. She should dress up and make a good impression on Yeager’s parents.
Although Hailey agreed, she didn’t dress up especially, she just did her usual light makeup, wore
conservative clothes, and headed out…
