Chapter 543
The officiant smoothly kept the ceremony moving, not wasting time on trivial banter.
The formal wedding procedures were quickly completed.
But the whispers among the guests never ceased.
Many of the elites in the room were reeling over Darwin’s shocking announcement.
The Charles family hadn’t just welcomed a bride; they had quietly flipped the entire corporate hierarchy on its head.
Many of them had initially looked down on Camilla, betting that her relationship with Lance wouldn’t last. Some had even deliberately made things difficult for her when she was still tied to the Carter family.
Now, the tables had turned completely. They would all have to answer to her. It was a brutal stroke of irony.
From this day forward, not a single soul would dare underestimate Camilla again.
Darwin had invited a swarm of media to document the lavish affair.
As the ceremony concluded, a scheduled press interview about Lance and Camilla’s romance was about to begin. Suddenly, chaos erupted. A woman in a drab janitor’s uniform shoved her way past security and lunged toward the cameras.
“There’s no beautiful love story here!” she screamed. “The truth is, they’re nothing but a pair of home-wrecking adulterers! They have zero morals p>
Hearing that shrill, grating voice, Camilla instantly recognized her. It was Laura.
She was stripped of all her former elegance. Her hair was a matted mess, her face deeply lined with premature wrinkles.
She blended into the janitor’s uniform so perfectly that it was tragic.
If she hadn’t made a scene, no one would have ever guessed she was once the glamorous Mrs. Carter.
“Where is security? Who let this lunatic in here to ruin everything?” Darwin roared, signaling for guards to drag her away.
Laura shrieked hysterically. “I’m telling the truth! This woman used to be my daughter-in-law! She was sleeping with the Charles family heir while she was still married to my son! They’re cheating scum, and they deserve to be exposed p>
With Calvin dead, Barnard executed, and Davina imprisoned, the authorities had seized all of their illicit assets.
Since Laura hadn’t directly committed any unforgivable crimes, she was the only one spared from prison.
But left alone on the outside, she had become a walking corpse.
Watching the relentless media hype leading up to this wedding had finally pushed her over the edge. It wasn’t fair.
Camilla used to belong to the Carter family. They used to be a wealthy, happy household. Why was her family destroyed while Camilla got to join a billionaire dynasty in front of the whole world?
Unable to handle the bitter contrast, Laura had snuck into the wedding venue to cause chaos.
The reporters were already broadcasting live, capturing every word Laura spewed. Millions of viewers were tuned in, and the online sentiment began to shift as toxic comments filtered through the stream of blessings.
“Oh my god, what did I just hear?
Cheating? Home-wrecking? These rich people are wild p>
“So Lance was the other man? And he handed over his whole fortune? This plot twist is crazy, but you gotta admit, Camilla is one lucky woman p>
“Is this a movie? Can I get a cameo p>
“Exactly! That Barnard guy was a literal criminal who cheated with an older woman. The internet never forgets. We all saw the evidence. Good riddance to him!
But seriously, Camilla hit the jackpot. Lord, let me have her luck in my next life p>
Surprisingly, the majority of the internet wasn’t condemning Camilla; they were incredibly jealous.
The scandalous truth about Barnard and Davina had already broken the internet multiple times.
Once the news of Barnard’s involvement in drug trafficking came out, his reputation was permanently pulverized. No one was going to take his side.
But Laura didn’t know that. She continued her unhinged rant. “Why aren’t you saying anything, Camilla? Am I lying? Do you dare claim you were innocent? That you didn’t cheat?
You two are morally bankrupt, yet you have the nerve to stand here and talk about true love? Have you no shame p>
“Security! Throw her out! She has no right to spout this garbage here!” Tessa yelled furiously.
Lance waved a hand, stepping forward until his smiling face filled the nearest camera lens. “Actually, I should thank this lady. She said exactly what I wanted to say.
Yes, I won’t deny it. I was the other man. I stole her away. Every step of our relationship was something I orchestrated.
And what about it? I’d like to ask the gentlemen in the room-if you saw the woman you loved trapped living hell being sena and humiliated, could you honestly just stand by and watch?
