Chapter 19 An Unexpected Twist

At the entrance of the extravagant ceremony, Lewis sighed, “Yulia doesn’t seem to forgive me…”

Betty said quickly, “She’s just stubborn, and hasn’t made up her mind yet.”

“Don’t worry, Lewis. I’ll chase that good-for-nothing rascal, Skylar away once the ceremony is over.”

“Yulia will soon understand everything once he stops stirring up trouble.”

Lincoln added, “Skylar is far worse than you, Lewis. You don’t need him as a rival.”

“Plus, Yulia agreed to his proposal only because that old hag arranged the marriage for her.”

“If you truly love her, please be a little patient. Women are soft on the inside.”

Lewis was overjoyed, “You know how to rekindle someone else’s dreams, sir!”

“Whether I can marry Yulia, it all depends on you.”

“Nice one, lad!” Betty laughed.

The three of them reached the entrance as they spoke.

The entrance was filled with people who wanted to see what was going on.

These people did not have an invitation. However, they had the same thought as Lincoln as he wanted to see more of the world.

Of course, there were media reporters as that was such a grand ceremony.

The staff was busy as they had to broadcast and report everything that was happening.

The ceremony reached its climax when everyone roared in excitement, followed by camera shutters.

Lincoln and Betty followed behind Lewis and had their waists stretched out as if looking at people with their nostrils.

People were looking at them enviously, which made their egos grow bigger.

There were two rows of soldiers with firearms standing at the checkpoint.

Lincoln handed over the invitations to the auditors.

Just as they were about to go in, the auditor stretched out his hand and shouted, “Stop right there!”

“These invitations are fake, no entry!”

Lewis was taken aback. “Impossible! I bought the invitations from someone with a large sum of money!”

The auditor frowned. “I don’t care where you got these from, the serial numbers of these invitations aren’t recorded in the list, leave this place at once!”

Yulia was not far away from them at that time. She then said to Skylar, “Why does it seem like something is going on between my dad and the auditor?”

“I told you that your father and stepmother would get themselves into trouble, didn’t I?”

Skylar chuckled, “Let’s go over and have a look.”

As they reached the auditing office, they heard Lewis yelling at the auditor. “You must have

forgotten to record them down.”

“Why should we bear with your mistake? Isn’t this supposed to be your job?”

“We are Dragon Commander’s guests, all of you here can’t afford to offend us!”

“Oh, is that so?” The auditor sneered and tore the invitations to shreds.

Just as Lewis was about to give them an explanation, there were already 20 soldiers surrounding them in a circle with guns pointed at their heads.

“How dare you forge Dragon Commander’s invitation? Now die!”

Bang!

Like a bolt from the blue, the three of them had chills all over their bodies.

“Tell me, who forged them?”

The auditor questioned loudly.

Lewis almost wet his pants. In a rush, he pointed at Lincoln and Betty then said, “It’s them… They said they’d bring me to the ceremony.”

“I’m innocent, sir! I really have no idea…”

What!

Lincoln and Betty almost spat out blood as soon as they heard him.

It was a shame that they fell of Lewis’ apology earlier. However, now that something bad happened, he put the blame on them for such a big crime.

Sure enough, no one could change someone else’s behavior.

They were about to lose their lives.

Betty gritted her teeth and yelled in anger, “Lewis…you bastard!”

Lincoln replied, “Lewis, you obviously gave these invitations to me!”

Yulia was struck by lightning upon seeing the scene.

Although Betty had always been mean to her, Lincoln was still her biological father.

At that critical moment, she rushed to the auditor and said, “Sir, I am sure that the fake invitation belongs to Lewis, and it has nothing to do withmy parents.”

Lewis immediately shouted, “How dare you put the blame on me just to excuse your parents?”

“You…”

Yulia wanted to tear Lewis apart.

Skylar snorted, “What a joke!”

“It really is the icing on the cake that we could attend the ceremony, now it’s even better.”

“I don’t need an invitation to attend it at all, do I?” Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Lewis immediately shouted, “Skylar,… how dare you take this ceremony lightly! Can’t you show some respect to Dragon Commander?”

“Sir, he insulted Dragon Commander. Please arrest him!”

Yulia’s eyes were clouded, and she almost fainted.

Lincoln and Betty were heartbroken.

Lewis was already a handful to deal with. Not to mention Skylar’s presence.”

Both of them really wanted Betty and Lincoln to die.

Just when everyone thought that Skylar was about to be arrested, the auditor froze for all of a sudden and saluted Skylar.

“My apologies, Mr. and Miss Sue. I mishandled the situation and let the lawbreakers…”

“It’s not your fault, just let us enter.”

Skylar glanced at Lincoln and Betty. Then continued, “Let the both of them in.”

“Yes, sir!”

The auditor answered, and then bowed to Lincoln and Betty. He said, “I was clumsy earlier, please forgive me.”

What!

They could get in just like that?

Not only were Lincoln and Betty dumbfounded, but also the crowd watching the scene was also in confusion.

The auditors who ordered the soldiers to shoot Lincoln and Betty earlier apologized as well.

The sudden change in atmosphere was because of Skylar’s presence.

What was up with this guy?

Skylar did nott care. he smiled lightly and said, “Head right in and have a look, Yulia.”

The three of them went blank, they followed Skylar as if they were sleepwalking.

The auditor glanced at Lewis and ordered, “Take this guy away and wait for Dragon Commander to deal with it!”

Lewis’ head went numb, and his crotch became wet.

“Sir, I’m not to be blamed. I swear didn’t forge the invitation…”

Bang!

The auditor kicked him hard in the stomach.

There was no serial number on the invitation, which meant he was still in the wrong if he were to be blamed.

Who could ever hold such a grand ceremony besides Dragon Commander?

Who would dare to resist when Dragon Commander wanted to deal with you?

Yulia’s family followed Skylar and walked into the ceremony.

The atmosphere was extravagant as they were also exquisite foot. The theatre was filled with people of high status. Their footsteps were light and they felt like they were stepping on clouds.

Yulia reacted after a while.

She asked Skylar in a trembling voice, ” Skylar, was… everything you said earlier… true?”

Lincoln and Betty looked at Skylar in disbelief.

Skylar smiled mysteriously, “You’ll know once the ceremony starts.”

It was not that he wanted to say it, but he wanted to give Yulia a surprise when he proposed to her.”
