    Chapter 2 The Rumors Before The Wedding


    “Everybody knows that the Xanders and the Lingards will be holding a wedding soon. What we didn’t


    expect was that Zack Xander would be involved in a scandal just days away from the ceremony. In the


    photo, Zack Xander and Lucille Lingard were intimately embracing each other in the famous Land of


    Roses.


    If we didn’t know that the man was already engaged to the eldest daughter of the Lingards, Micha,


    we would’ve thought that he had a thing for Lucille. Now that the photo has spread like wildfire online,


    it’s gotten the attention of countlessizens. With the wedding just days away, how will the Xanders


    and Lingards respond? Will the ceremony proceed as nned? Stay tuned,dies and gentlemen, and


    let me keep you updated on thetest entertainment news!”


    Thud!


    As soon as the host finished her sentence, Jacob turned the television off and violently threw the


    remote control to the coffee table.


    “This is bullsh*t!” cursed the man, whose blood boiled with anger.


    Jacob stood with arms akimbo as his face began to turn red from rage. “What nonsense!”


    The subject of the scandal, Lucille, quickly turned to Micha after regaining her senses. “It’s not what


    you think. This isn’t what they say it is. I would never… You have to believe me, Micha! I would


    never do such a thing!”


    Lucille got so anxious that her eyes turned red. They even began to well up as she tried to exin


    herself to her sister.


    My fiancé and my sister? What the heck is going on?


    Micha was still trying to figure out what happened when Jacob roared once again, “You better have


    an exnation for this! What’s going on?”


    With that, the man snatched the magazine and threw it at Lucille, who dared not even move out of the


    way.


    Unable to ept Jacob’s behavior, the woman beside him voiced, “You’re scaring her! Can’t we just


    talk it out peacefully?”


    “Do you have any idea how humiliating this is? How do you expect me to stay calm in a situation like


    this?” Jacob then red at Lucille before looking away, disgusted by her actions.


    “It’s not like that!” eximed Lucille after getting on her knees. Her face was as pale as a ghost when


    she tried to exin herself once again, “I identally sprained my ankle at Rose Peak. Zack was


    helping me get back to the hotel when this photo was taken. Had I known that people would spread


    rumors of us like that, I’d never have agreed to go with him.”

    Feeling aggrieved, Lucille started crying uncontrobly. Anybody who saw the pitiful state she was in


    would feel sorry for her.


    Even Micha was moved by her sister. Sighing, she approached Lucille to help the woman up. “I’m


    the one who asked you to go, so are you ming me?”


    “That’s not what I’m trying to say, Micha!”


    “I know it’s not your fault. You can stop crying now.”


    After getting back on her feet with Micha’s help, Lucille widened her eyes at her sister in surprise.


    “So you believe me, Micha?”


    At that point, Micha could no longer put on a stern front. She wiped Lucille’s tears away before


    chuckling. “Of course, I believe you. After all, we grew up together! Why would I choose to believe


    those reporters instead of my own sister? Don’t worry about the rumors. I’m sure they’ll disappear on


    their own on the day of my wedding. And don’t me Dad. He just got a little too emotional. That’s all.”


    Lucille nodded understandingly before turning to nce at her father.


    All of a sudden, Micha’s phone started ringing again. After checking the number on disy, she


    suggested to her sister, “You should go wash up since your face is drenched in tears. I’m going to


    answer a phone call.”
