Benjamin’s father was a merciless man. Ever since I was little, I had always been terrified of his minatory aura. Being suddenly confronted by him, my face turned pale. What do I say to him? I can’t possibly tell him that his son is trying to help Crystal by ruining the wedding ceremony. I was only trying to divert everyone’s attention.
While I was caught in a quandary, Christopher’s voice was heard out of nowhere.
Upon hearing Christopher’s words, everyone was stupefied. However, some of the people there thought that Lyle was the one who yelled out those words. “Lyle, you aren’t married to Yvonne anymore. Why are you still covering for her? Look what she has done to Crystal,” uttered Natalie, with a sullen look on her face.
“Lyle, you’re like a brother to Benjamin. How could you say such a thing?”
Lyle had an awkward look on his face as he pondered on how he should respond.
Gazing at his face, I almost burst out laughing.
Nathan was irritated at me for being frivolous at a time like this. He lifted his hand and was getting ready to slap me. Fortunately, Christopher appeared just in time to stop him.
He grabbed hold of Nathan’s arm with one hand and let out a sinister smile. “Mr. Lane, Eve is my woman. Even if you’re her father, you can’t just hit her. I’ll be heartbroken if something happens to her.”
“What! There’s no way Christopher Lane said that! I must be hearing things right?”
“Yeah, is Christopher drunk or something? How could he say that? Does he not care about Monica anymore?”
