Love Comes To Me -
Chapter 405: How about sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight
As the two were chatting, the master of ceremonies had finished his opening speech and the wedding march was playing.
"Let's give a round of applause to Mr Brower and Miss Mercia, years of nurturing and deep fatherly love, shown in this moment. Just for today, Miss Mercia has found her happiness and Mr Brower is taking her hand and handing her over to another man..."
The MC said some familiar readings, and with the sound of the music, the emotions tumbled as if to move everyone in the room.
Eloise looked at the scene of a loving father and a dutiful daughter in front of her and couldn't help but think of her own father and felt a little empty in her heart.
Hector seemed to sense her emotions and could not help but hold her hand tighter, whispering in her ear, "It's okay, I'm here."
These words were more reassuring than I love you or a vow to the world, yes, as long as he was there, there was nothing to get through.
The wedding was slowly going on and before we knew it, the moment of the exchange of vows had arrived.
The master of ceremonies solemnly asked, "Groom, do you take the bride to be? In this life, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, to love her alone."
Before Robbie could say anything, a female voice could be heard from the floor, exclaiming, "He won't!"
The person who came was none other than Agnes.
She really didn't want to see Robbie marry another woman, for one thing she couldn't let go, and for another, the thought that he was nibbling away at the Thompson family's money to marry another woman was too much for her to take. Everyone in the room was shocked that someone had come in and stirred up trouble on such a big day.
It was Mercia's father who reacted first and sternly said to the bodyguards, "Go on, stop her."
It took some time for the bouncers to get here, so Agnes yelled, "Robbie, you heartless man, you didn't care that I was pregnant and came here to marry another woman.
It was too late, what had been said had already been said, and everyone knew what Robbie was like, so they were full of words for him.
"I can't believe that Robbie is like this."
"Isn't it? Isn't that even a marriage scam?"
"I think so, how could the Brower family marry their daughter to such a person, it must be him Robbie who cheated the Brower family."
...
But it was in a flash that Robbie's face was swept away.
Mercia Brower looked at the man in front of her with disappointment and slammed the bouquet she was holding at him, questioning, "Is she telling the truth?"
Robbie, knowing the importance of this wedding, could not contain her excitement, "She's talking out of her ass!
Agnes, who was in the hands of her bodyguards, could not help but say, "Robbie, do you want me to tell you who you are?"
She sneered at Mercia Brower and said, "Miss Mercia, don't be fooled by him, he's a scumbag, he's cheating on you, he's cheating on your whole family, he's cheating on you, he's cheating on your family's money!"
Mercia Brower couldn't believe it and froze for a few seconds before she couldn't contain herself any longer and ran off crying.
Mercia's father watched Mercia Brower run down and was about to go after him when Mercia's mother hurriedly pulled him back, "You stay here, I'll go after Xin Yao."
The implication could not have been clearer: he was to hold the fort while she went to comfort Mercia Brower.
By this point in the wedding, it was already yellow.
The master of ceremonies was too stunned to speak, and it took him a moment to react and pick up the microphone, saying, "Hold your horses, guests, let's move on to the next part, the ball."
The music started and the professional dancers, who had been invited over, had already moved to the centre of the dance floor to dance, and there were many people who were not concerned with the event, who started to exchange pleasantries with their glasses of wine.
The atmosphere seemed to have eased up, but Mercia's father still looked gloomy and turned to the Gardner family, "You better give me a reasonable explanation for this, or I won't be done with you."
The Gardner family's parents were not expecting such a situation and were at a loss as to what to do, waiting for Robbie to come and give them an answer.
At this point Robbie, with the bouquet in hand, came down despondently and said to Mercia's father, "Father-in-law, you have to trust me, I wouldn't do such a thing."
Mercia's father snorted, "You never know, I'm not finished with you, if anything happens to Mercia, I'm going to put the Gardner family out of business."
Although the Gardner family had eaten into the Thompson family's fortune, it was still a little less than the Brower family and Robbie was still a little afraid of the Brower family's financial power.
The Gardner family, having been humiliated by the incident, looked at Robbie with a different look on their face and Robbie was in a position where everyone was shouting at him. Eloise was shocked to see the whole chain of events unfold, no one had expected this to happen out of the blue.
Hector looked at her and asked softly, "You didn't know about Agnes' pregnancy?"
Eloise shook her head a little helplessly; she had never heard any whispers about it, and even less about Agnes coming over to crash the party.
Although the last time she'd been home, Agnes had looked like she hated Robbie with a passion for all his actions, she just really hadn't expected Agnes to go this far.
Not only had she embarrassed the Gardner family and the Brower family, but the Thompson family as well.
Eloise looked at Hector and spoke, "Anyway, I don't have much to do with the Thompson family anymore, so don't worry, I'm not going to interfere in this matter."
If she did interfere, it would affect the Rogers family's reputation, and if the four families were involved, the matter would only get bigger and bigger.
Instead of that, she would sit back and watch the tiger fight.
The wedding turned out to be a farce, which was a delight to the media, and the next day, the press was all over the story, fearing that the other families would steal the headlines. Meanwhile, the Gardner Group's stock, too, was shaken to its core, showing signs of a downward spiral.
Robbie sat in his office, looking at the figures, furious that all his dreams had been shattered and that the Gardner Group had been dragged down with him.
He gritted his teeth and the word "Agnes" came out of his mouth, "Agnes ..."
Agnes, at this very moment, was sitting at the gynaecological examination in the hospital, staring at the test sheet in front of her.
She had only guessed that she might be pregnant, but her cycle had never been normal, so she hadn't given it much thought.
But when she came back yesterday, the more she thought about it, the more wrong she was, so she came to the hospital. Unexpectedly, she was really pregnant and had been for several months.
