Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband by Devocean

Chapter 38:

Elyse rolled her eyes at Rebekah and departed with Freddy. They hailed a taxi and headed to the restaurant. Upon their arrival, they entered the bustling hall and encountered Lizzie and several classmates. They immediately launched into lively conversation.

Lizzie quickly broached a topic she had read about online. “I saw something on the internet a few days back. Were you really left at the altar, Elyse? How dreadful for you. How did you end up as the jilted bride?”

Elyse looked intently at Lizzie. Their relationship had been strained in high school as Lizzie often sidelined Elyse and sometimes resorted to bullying. Nonetheless, Elyse had dismissed these actions as trivial and chose to attend the reunion only to find Lizzie unchanged after all these years.

“I heard that story and assumed it was another person who shared your name. It’s shocking to realize it was actually you,” Lizzie continued.

“There’s something you may not be aware of,” Elyse clarified everything in a video she posted later. She appeared quite distressed. “Poor Elyse, indeed. After her phone number got out, everyone bombarded her with calls. Reading those comments was horrifying.”

Lizzie blinked and turned to Elyse, feigning innocence. “Elyse, everyone seems curious. May I share your story with them?”
