The wrong Woman novel by Ginny Not Genie novel Chapter 912

Josie looked somewhat taken aback. "Candice, you're here too?"

Elio asked, "Is there something you need to talk to me about?"

Josie forced a smile. "I wanted to discuss our wedding next month. Mrs. Hoffis has been pressuring me, and I had no idea what to do. I thought we could talk it over."

Candice felt a wave of anxiety washing over her, and she nervously clenched her fists.

Turning to Candice, Josie smiled and asked, "Candice, I wish to talk to Leo for a moment. Could you…?"

Candice quickly responded, "I have something to attend to. You two talk, I'll head out."

Just as she finished her words and was about to leave, Elio grabbed her wrist. "You don't need to go. Stay and listen."

Candice was stunned.

Josie's face darkened, and she said in embarrassment, "Leo, this isn't appropriate. This is between the two of us. Candice is an outsider."

Elio replied solemnly, "She's not an outsider. She's my wife."

Candice was shocked by his words. Josie was even more so. Both women stared at Elio in disbelief.

Candice felt overwhelmed. Had she just become his wife so quickly?

Josie awkwardly forced a smile and asked, "Are you… are you two really together now?"

Candice still felt like she was dreaming.

Elio calmly replied, "Yes, we decided on our marriage just a moment ago."

Candice smiled awkwardly, finding the situation surreal. Here she was, listening to Elio and Josie discuss a wedding that was never real, forced upon them by their families.

Elio turned to Josie and said, "I'm truly sorry. My poor decision back then put you in this awkward situation. I will compensate you financially, but I won't attend the wedding. If you don't want to be humiliated, I suggest you don't attend either."

Josie's face filled with worry. "What about my parents? They'll become the laughingstock of everyone."

"We've made our stance clear. If they insist on making a scene, it's their fault," Elio replied firmly.

Josie felt a deep sense of disappointment. She had been looking forward to this wedding. Even if Elio wouldn't come, she was determined to be there. What if, against all odds, his family forced him to show up and complete the ceremony?

"Are you not afraid of driving your parents to their graves?" Josie asked.

Elio replied, "They've been prepared for this for a long time. They won't die that easily."
