Chapter 74 Lines That Shouldn’t Be Crossed

The person doing the verification said the photo of Lily and the man on the marriage certificate was clearly digitally altered.

The moment John saw the message, the agony crushing his chest instantly lifted.

Who didn’t know that registering a marriage required both parties to be there in person and take a photo on the spot?

There was no response.
