Maskfall - Chapter 8

Chapter 8 "What did you just call me?" Donald's hand trembled as he waved it in front of my eyes. Ismiled and gently pushed it aside. "Donald, the person you're supposed to marry today... isn't me, right? Did you have fun playing with me all this time?" He dropped to the ground, his face pale. Several times, he tried to speak, but nothing came out. In the end, he lowered his head, covering his face, defeated. When I left, he did not try to stop me. Downstairs, the moment my father saw me, he raised his hand to hit me. I caught his wrist midair.

His eyes widened as he stared into mine, clear and steady. "You little liar! You pretended to be blind and fooled me for all these years. If you try to run today, I'll break your legs." I did not even flinch. I pointed casually toward the chaotic banquet hall behind us. "The groom ran off. Doesn't that make the bride look even worse?" Before he could react, I hailed a cab and left. The day I secured the family's assets, I finally buried my mom's ashes. I chose the most expensive plot. I set a bouquet of baby's breath before the grave and twirled in my wedding dress.

Looking at the woman in the photograph, I asked softly, "Do I look beautiful? You told me to pretend to be blind. I did. You told me to hold on to Josh. I did. Too bad he turned out to be fake. But what I got instead is even better than Josh, so rest in peace." I pulled out my phone and played the video. Pointing at the boy on the screen, I told her his name was Donald. Maybe one day, I would marry him. However, not now. After sitting there for a long time, talking softly about everything that had happened between Donald and me, I finally left.

I went back to the new apartment I had just bought. I did not expect that in just one day, I would be trending again. # BrooksFamilyHeirAndStewartHeirFightOverOneWomanEndU pInHospital [So, it was all fake. I even felt bad for that gold digger's boyfriend before. Turns out they're both rich kids playing at being poor.) (Wait, if both guys are rich, shouldn't Yvette have held on to them tight?] (Theard the Stewart heir used Yvette as a bet to win back his childhood sweetheart. Had the Brooks heir pretend to be him to test her.

That's just disgusting.] The same people who had been cursing me before suddenly switched sides. They flooded the social media pages of both the Stewart family and the Brooks family, calling them out directly. Whitney got doxxed and was too scared to leave the house. I heard that once, she went out wearing a mask, but someone recognized her. They chased her down two streets and beat her. After lying in the hospital for a month, she quietly left the country. As for my father, once he realized the Brooks family was not actually in trouble, he started playing the victim again.
