Chapter 9


    Chapter 9 Utter Shock


    As soon as the few of them arrived inside the living room of Sommer Gardens, they saw a disheveled-


    looking Lucille slumped to the ground. Her clothes were in a mess as she wept with her head kept low.


    Right beside her was a man kneeling with his upper body exposed and visible scratch marks all over


    his broad back.


    It was clear that the two had just enjoyed a passionate moment together.


    More importantly, everyone could easily recognize the man as the groom tomorrow—Zack.


    Such a sight sent the crowd into utter shock.


    “What the hell were the both of you up to?”


    The first one to break the silence was Zack’s father, Quentin.


    The man’s expression darkened as soon as he had realized what was happening, and his body


    trembled with rage.


    Although Quentin had a reserved personality, he had been very strict toward Zack. Despite that, never


    had he ever been this ovee by fury.


    Despite not being able to see his father’s face, Zack immediately began to shudder as soon he heard


    the former’s stern voice, and a chill ran down his spine. He was at a loss all of a sudden.


    Perhaps due to how appalling the scene was, no one seemed to notice that there were other people in


    the living room.


    Just as Quentin was about to unleash his wrath, the man seated on the couch stood up and walked


    toward them. “Hello, Quentin and Yvonne.”


    “Jonathan? When did you get here?” Yvonne asked in astonishment as embarrassment shed in her


    eyes.


    The fewer people know about something this humiliating, the better. But of all people, Jonathan had to


    see this! You’re such a disappointment, Zack!


    Yvonne felt her head throbbing from frustration.


    Aware of how awkward Yvonne must be feeling, Jonathan turned away from Micha and nced at


    Zack. “At the worst possible time, it seems. But I believe it’s time you taught Zack a lesson,” he


    remarked in his deep voice.


    Quentin’s father, Eric, was the younger brother of Jonathan’s father, Nick, making Quentin and


    Jonathan cousins. Quentin had lost his parents in a ne crash while sitting for his university entrance


    exam, so Nick took him in after that, treating Quentin as his own child.


    That was why Quentin always held Nick in high esteem. Even Yvonne treated Jonathan’s parents with


    the utmost respect.


    At present, Yvonne’s expression stiffened as she heard Jonathan’s words. “What’s going on,


    Jonathan?” she asked in puzzlement.


    “My dad isn’t well enough to attend Zack’s wedding, so he asked me toe by and see if there’s


    anything I can help out with. But I heard some unusual noises as soon as I got here and thought the


    house had been broken into, so I told Walter to use force if he had to. I just never saw thising…”


    The man spoke softly, but he soundedposed and firm.


    He also deliberately left out hisst few words to avoid humiliating both families further.


    On the other hand, Walter’s mouth twitched as he stood next to Jonathan, hearing thetter lie through


    his teeth.

    Are you sure you came over to help, Sir? Didn’t youe over to ruin the wedding?


    Broken into, you say?


    What kind of thief would make so much noise while breaking into a house? You may have never gotten


    laid before, but haven’t you at least heard of how it works? What’s a grown man like you acting all


    innocent for?


    Besides, you were the one who came over to enjoy the show after hearing about this, yet here you are


    ying dumb!


    A flurry of thoughts erupted in Walter’s mind, although he could never say them out loud. Still, he had


    to admit that his boss had a knack for acting. It’s a shame he didn’t choose to be an actor!
