"Proceed," Aaron coldly instructed the bewildered officiant.

He pulled it out, hesitated for a moment, and glanced up at Aaron on the platform. After a brief consideration, he decided to answer it.
"Hello..." The moment he heard the voice on the other end, Victor's expression shifted. He looked up at Aaron, who was slowly uttering the words, "I do." After a tense pause, Victor steeled himself and approached the stage, pressing up against the wall: "Mr. Vance, there's an urgent call." Aaron furrowed his brow, his gaze still locked on Serena.
The officiant turned to Serena, asking if she would take Aaron as her husband.

"Mr. Vance, you should take the call," she suggested.

"Serena, I'm sorry. Something urgent has cup, and I must attend to it immediately!" With those words, he strode purposefully toward the door.

"I told you, Mr. Vance would never marry Serena. See, we bet on the wrong horse again!" "What was that call about? Could it have been Miss Lynwood?" "Of course it was Cynthia Lynwood. Who else could make Mr. Vance leave with just one phone call?" The murmurs of the crowd reached William, who was sitting among them, his eyes growing colder. "Since the wedding is postponed, everyone should head home," he announced.
Although William wasn't from Alderburg, his status as Young m Master William ensured that even the older guests left without protest. Soon, the wedding venue was deserted, save for William in his white suit and Serena in her wedding gown.
"Do you think I'm pathetic?" Serena asked, snapping out of her daze, as she kicked off her high heels and sank into a chair.
