Wedding My Ex’s Uncle

Chapter 49 The farce

Lucien’s words sent a ripple of shock through the crowd in the grand hall.

“What’s going on here?” someone whispered.

“Is this wedding turning into a proposal? Are they changing the bride now?”

“No way around it, I guess. Who could’ve seen it coming? Alden in love with Luna, his sister? They always said Luna was the daughter of some old friend they took in. This is wild.”

“Didn’t you see the video? Luna was only sixteen back then. Is that even legal?”

The murmurs, though hushed, pierced Allen’s ears like needles.

He gasped for air, his chest tight, as if the room were running out of oxygen.

“That damned boy! I’m going to have a heart attack! That brat!”

Alyssa wasn’t sure if her grandfather was cursing her cousin Alden or her uncle Lucien.

In her head, she gave Kaia a silent thumbs-up before swiftly slipping a heart pill into Allen’s mouth.

“Grandpa, don’t get so worked up. You’ll make yourself sick,”

she said, her voice dripping with concern. “Are you feeling okay? Want me to call someone to help?”

Her caring words only made the veins on Allen’s forehead bulge more prominently.

“Alyssa, did you know about this?” he demanded, the pill still in his mouth, his eyes blazing.

Alyssa threw up her hands, quick to defend herself. “No way! Grandpa, Alden messed up, but don’t pin this on me!”
