Chapter 77
"I've already brought her here. You should come over immediately. I've sent you the address and her photo."
Sophia's voice was very distinct, and Joe quickly realized that the man wasn't lying. His face darkened even more, and he lowered his head to look at Sophia, who was clinging to his leg. His gaze was cold, making her shiver with
fear.
Rage consumed his rationality, and he even forgot that the person in front of him was the woman he had loved for ten whole years. With a forceful shove, he kicked her away.
The sudden impact left Sophia stunned, pain mixing with her shock, forcing tears to spill from her eyes. She opened her mouth but couldn't make a sound. All she could do was watch him make a phone call before turning and leaving, casually pulling the door shut behind him.
Joe never imagined that his gentle and kind-hearted Sophia would do such a thing. What shocked him even more was that his first reaction upon hearing the news was to think of Olivia, who must be furious after being wronged.
His steps quickened as he hurried out of the banquet hall and went straight to the underground parking lot of the hotel. After getting his car, he sped off. Meanwhile, his phone, which he had carelessly left behind, began vibrating non-stop, the ringtone ringing over and over. Finally, growing impatient, he turned it off.
The world grew quiet, and the car finally stopped in front of a villa in Golden community.
He opened the door and entered, only to find the villa eerily quiet and empty, with no signs of anyone having lived there. He froze for a moment, and then a self- deprecating smile appeared on his face.
It turned out, she had never been here at all.
He felt a bit lost, the things he had always believed now being overturned. Reluctantly, he turned his phone back on, and the flood of missed calls and messages caused it to freeze for a full five minutes before returning to normal. He ignored the messages asking where he had gone and immediately found Jennifer's contact, dialing her number.
She answered quickly, as if she had been looking for him, her voice filled with urgency. "Bro, the wedding has started! Where are you? Why did you lock up my sister-in-law?"
Questions kept coming, but he didn't have the time to answer. Instead, he urgently asked about Olivia. "Jennifer, have you been able to contact Olivia?"noveldrama
Jennifer paused, a little surprised. She hadn't expected Joe, who had suddenly disappeared from the wedding, to answer the phone and, instead of explaining the wedding, ask about Olivia, who had already returned to London.
"Yes, she sent me a photo today and showed me her fiancé. He's powerful and kind to her, far better than her previous boyfriend, who was so reclusive... Hey? Hey! Bro!"
The call was abruptly cut off, leaving Jennifer confused. She remembered the urgent situation with their parents

being cornered and turned to face Harris's parents, who were glaring angrily at her. She sighed and redialed Joe's
number,
This time, however, the call wouldn't go through. He had turned off his phone again.
Jennifer sighed deeply, thinking, if she's wrong, let the law punish her, but why did her brother have to suddenly run away from his wedding, leaving their parents to be tied up with questions? She was left with the task of finding
him.
Suddenly, a "ding-dong" sound came from her phone, and she glanced at it. It was an email from Joe. Confused as to why he didn't just talk to her but instead sent an email, she furrowed her brow and opened it.
The first thing that caught her eye was a video, seemingly from a security camera in a stairwell.
The video was very clear, showing Sophia sneaking around with a man. It recorded how she had manipulated him into bringing a man to ruin Olivia's reputation. The video showed the man pouncing on Olivia when she arrived.
She then clicked on the audio that came with the email. Upon hearing the content, she suddenly stood up in anger and slammed the table. "Harris's uncle, Harris's aunt, instead of questioning my brother for running away from the wedding, why don't you explain what your precious daughter was planning to do?"
The audio played out loud, and the voices of a man and a woman could clearly be heard. Sophia's face instantly turned pale. Her eyes, red and swollen, and her tear-streaked face made her appear pitiful, but Jennifer wasn't falling for it.
"Olivia is my best friend. Anyone who dares to bully her-Joe family, you have her but not me!"
Meanwhile, on the other side, Olivia was following her father out, sending Charlie off. Their conversation seemed lighthearted, and their smiles were unmistakable. As he left the villa, her father winked at her, coughing a few times as a signal for her to accompany Charlie. Seeing their expectant gazes, Olivia couldn't bring herself to refuse and finally smiled. "Mr. Williams, I'll walk you out.”
