My Husband Wants Me Dead novel (Esther and Bradley)

Chapter 659

Accompanied by her maid of honor, Mandy descended the red carpet with measured steps.

At the end of the carpet, Chadwick awaited her, dressed splendidly in a traditional groom attire. His gaze remained

fixed on Mandy, who looked elegant in her antique lace veil and flowing gown.

With eagerness, Chadwick moved closer to accept Mandy’s hand from the maid of honor. Confusion crossed his

face as his eyes shifted to the apple she held.

‘Didn’t I eat an apple in the car? Why does Esther have another one?’ he thought.

In the audience, Selene’s curiosity piqued as she observed the couple on stage. Just then, a staff member from the

wedding company approached her, whispering, “Madam Pendleton, Ms. Pendleton has disappeared.”

Selene frowned. “And what about Mr. Warner?”

Before the woman could reply, the sky erupted with fireworks, and the air filled with the smell of gunpowder.

“We can’t reach Mr. Warner on his phone either,” the head of the wedding planner murmured.

Selene’s gaze returned almost instantly to the stage, where Mandy still stood under her antique lace veil. The

ceremony was on the verge of commencing, steeped in age-old traditions.

Disregarding the puzzled looks from the guests, Selene rose abruptly and made her way onto the stage. “Stop the

wedding!”

Chadwick frowned and retorted, “Mom, this is my wedding! Can you not cause a scene?”

“The wedding is off.”

Selene couldn’t risk voicing her suspicion that the veiled bride might be Mandy, not Esther, in front of Chadwick and

all the guests.

Unmasking Mandy would turn their entire family into a laughingstock.

After all, instead of marrying Esther, the Quill heiress, Chadwick would end up marrying his half-sister, Mandy.

“Mom, stop being ridiculous!”

Chadwick’s grip on Selene’s arm tightened, causing her pain. She responded by slapping him squarely across the

face.

“I’ve thought long and hard about it, and I’ve never felt Esther is worthy of my son!” she said.

Oliver and Marcus, both in the audience, exchanged puzzled glances upon witnessing the unfolding drama on stage.

Marcus decided to take preemptive action against the Pendletons. Meanwhile, Oliver had already dispatched

someone to locate Bradley. As per the wedding plan, Bradley and Mandy should be making their entrance soon.

Soon enough, Sadie approached Oliver and urgently whispered, “We can’t find Bradley and Mandy anywhere.”

Oliver suddenly understood why Selene was at the center of the stage.

Confusion rippled through the guests, each silently pondering, ‘What on earth is happening?’

Oliver suspected that the bride might be Mandy. However, he had no intention of removing her, as Selene desired.

“Madam Pendleton, you’ve had ample opportunities to voice objections to this wedding. Why create a scene now?

Do you doubt the Quills’ determination?” Oliver asked.

Selene glared at Oliver. She refused to disbelieve that he seemed unaware of the situation involving Esther and

Bradley.

“Oliver, why should my son’s first marriage be to a woman incapable of bearing children?” she asked.
