While Esther and Bradley remained unhappy, Mandy enjoyed her happiness.
"Good luck," X said.
"Thanks."
After ending the call, Mandy strolled back to the hot spring pool.
Sadie faced Esther as she playfully teased Mandy, "Mr. Warner knows how to treat a lady, huh?"
"Sadie, don't say that in front of my sister-in-law," Mandy replied, neither confirming nor denying
Bradley's call. She smiled faintly and added, "Honestly, I don't think he loves me. He's just grateful."
"Gratitude can turn into love," Sadie encouraged optimistically. "Don't give up."
Mandy lowered her head and whispered after a moment, "I don't believe in love."
Once, Sadie believed in love, inspired by her happily married parents. But after witnessing Bradley and

United through marriage, the Quill and Pendleton families prepared for a grand feast at the exclusive
Eternica Terrace, reserved for the day to avoid public bookings. The wedding planners had transformed

countless celebrities, but Esther's beauty left her speechless. It was a beauty she had never before
witnessed.
The moment arrived, marking the start of the wedding procession.
Two Rolls Royces led the way, Chadwick representing the brother and Mandy, the sister. The first car,
meant for the brother, led the procession, followed by the sister's car.
Esther and Mandy didn't have their own bridesmaids—the wedding planners had arranged a team for
them.
Esther was dressed in traditional wedding attire with an antique lace veil. She held a vibrant red apple NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
and wore hand-stitched rustic shoes adorned with gemstones. Guided by her bridesmaids, she
gracefully stepped into the leading wedding car.
Simultaneously, Mandy, veiled in gothic inspiration, entered the trailing vehicle. Once settled, she
discreetly checked her unread messages, all from X.
Everything was set—all she needed to do was swap veils with Esther in the bride's dressing room.
Meanwhile, a beep alerted Esther to her phone in the first wedding car. Without hesitation, she
checked. The sender was Bradley, seated in the second wedding car.
