Leila turned down the microphone and shook her head. "Everyone may have misconceptions about me, so I don't want to talk too much. You can ask my husband later."
The emcee curled his lips and didn't want to speak.
There is something wrong!
He took back the microphone angrily, and continued according to the process. "Next, the groom prepares a special surprise for the bride. The audience is welcome to look at the big screen."
This marriage is perhaps the gloomiest event he has ever seen in his life.
None of the leading old men in the audience had smiling faces.
He didn't know what Leila had done to these people.
Leila smiled and turned around to look at the LED screen behind her.
After a few seconds, the image on the screen flickered, and Mike's face appeared in the blink of an eye.
He was wearing a white tuxedo and sitting in front of the camera, his expression indifferent.
After a moment of silence, he said, "Leila, are you happy today?"
"Happy…" Leila replied to herself, she only felt Mike's eyebrows full of affection for her.
Holding the bouquet in her hand, she looked at the big screen for a moment.
This seems... not a previously recorded image, but a live broadcast.
Then, Mike sighs, and his sharp eyes seem to be able to see through Leila's soul through the screen.
He pulled his lips and sighed. "But I'm not happy!"
Leila's face changed slightly upon hearing this. She looked at the emcee for an unknown reason and found that the other party was also clueless.
Mike didn't hesitate too long. He folded his legs in front of the camera, took out a cigarette case and lit one, inhaling hard. The smoke got into his lungs, and when he exhaled, he said, "Leila, look behind you!"
After those words fell, Leila, including everyone present, subconsciously looked behind the banquet hall.
At this time, a middle aged man in a suit was standing on the spot with his arms folded. His expression was indifferent, and he met everyone's eyes with a smile.
Leila turned pale when she saw him.
How did Bernard come here?!
At this moment, Leila confusedly looked at the big screen, only to find that Mike's figure had disappeared. The pitch black screen looked like a giant web, enveloping her in an inexplicable panic.
Bernard walked from behind the banquet hall, and he nodded in satisfaction as he walked.
Then he looked at the confused Leila and smiled. "Why didn't you invite me when you got married? After all, we have been together for over ten years!"
The sound of a teacup fell to the ground then echoed throughout the hall.
The voice came from Mr. Simon.
Richard and Janice too, their cheeks were also filled with shock.
Bernard's brief greetings made Lilia stare at Mellisa in surprise.
Together for ten years?!
Ten years ago, how old was Leila?!
However, the person behind her really was Bernard!
If so, how dare he appear at this wedding?!
Many questions lingered in everyone's hearts. No one spoke, they only saw Bernard who came slowly, and vaguely realized that this marriage seemed so wrong.
"Bernard, you are talking nonsense!" Leila held a bouquet in one hand, pointed at it with the other, and replied sharply.
Did Mike find out about Bernard?!
She has transferred all properties under her name to him so that Bernard wouldn't bother her again.
He clearly said that he wouldn't embarrass her, so how could he suddenly come back ?!
Even if Leila was calm, Bernard's appearance still made her truly panic.
Leila looks around and screams, "Mike, come out and listen to me! He has set me up!"
"Good!" By now, Bernard had already stepped onto the podium, his eyes dangerously narrowed. Then he strangled Leila's wrists. "Why are you still pretending? I set you up? Look at the big screen!"
Leila tried to pull her wrist forcefully, but she couldn't escape.
She glanced at the LED screen behind her in panic, but found that a screenshot of the text message had been displayed on it.
What about our conversation yesterday? Are you willing to help me one more time to destroy the Irwan family? Don't worry about the Mayer family, as long as Lilia dies, I can handle that arrogant family!
This was the text she sent to Bernard the day before yesterday.
"What the... Leila, do you want to kill us all?"
Richard was so angry that he smashed his teacup on the stage.
Destroying the Irwan family?!
The family that has loved her for more than 20 years?
Not only that, did she also threaten a member of the Mayer family?!
Right now, even Dennis sneered. "I have heard a lot of news about your atrocities and I can't believe it. After seeing this text message today, you really opened my eyes!"
Leila really feels stupid!
She looks at Bernard angrily, her breath trembling. "You betrayed me..."
Bernard smiled instead. "Betrayed you? Isn't this the message you sent me? Don't worry, keep watching and keep listening. This show is not finished!"
On the big screen, screenshots after screenshots were displayed.
They are all the messages Leila sent about Mellisa's assassination plan and plot while she was still in school.
Over the years, Bernard was indeed the man behind her.
They met because of Trisa, and Bernard gave her a lot of "help" in the last ten years.
The only thing that made the rest of them wonder was why he chose to personally announce everything.
This is in no way good for him!
After the screenshot, an audio was played, followed by the sound being cut off.
"Bernard, I was locked up with my family. Can you think of a way to get rid of Lilia?"
"Bernard, Mellisa isn't dead. Second aunt has failed. Please help me get rid of that incompetent woman!"
"Bernard, the Mayer family will have a banquet at their family home. I want to come, can you help me?"
"Brother, I've arrived in Malaysia. Where is the hotel?"
"Brother..."
All voices belong to Leila.
A lot of her demand was dangerous requests she made for Bernard so that the man would help her kill people.
It seems that taking a life is not unusual for her.
Leila's face paled as she listened to the audio.
Everything recorded by Bernard finally revealed her true face that she had been hiding behind her mask all this time.
And this is enough to keep Leila from living forever.
"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like this? Aren't these all your own words?"
Bernard pulled Leila tightly to his side, each of his words sounded like a deadly bell.
"Get off me! It's not my voice, it's not me..."
Leila was struggling, and of course she wouldn't admit it. Otherwise she'd be crushed forever.
"Mike, save me, save me please..."
The power of her impulse was overwhelming. Her strength was weak, even Bernard did not feel it at all.
Instead, the man shook her hard and threw her to the ground.
