Ditch My Ex (Gabrielle and Timothy) novel Chapter 38

The top seven–star hotel in Balamora was booked out again.

From the venue setup to the guest invitations, everything showed the Goldstein family’s effort to keep up appearances and their eagerness to shake off bad luck.

Wedding invitations flew out like snowflakes and landed in the hands of all the important people in Balamora.

The people who got the invitation had different thoughts.

Someone sighed about how unpredictable life was, and said the Goldstein family acted coldly.

Someone was curious how this ridiculous wedding would end.

More people just wanted to watch the show and see this farce for themselves.

After all, Gabrielle’s tragic death was too sensational, and Timothy’s downfall was known to everyone.

And Cecilia the bride’s background and past weren’t any secret in high society either.

This wedding was doomed from the start to not be peaceful.

On the wedding day.

There were even more fancy cars outside the hotel again, and there were even more media reporters than last time.

Long and short cameras pointed at the hotel entrance, catching every

important person who showed up.

Emmitt and Jazlene forced a smile and stood at the door to greet people.

Their smiles were stiff, and deep in their eyes was a tiredness and anxiety they just couldn’t hide.

This wedding wasn’t a happy event for them, it felt more like a public execution they had to go through.

But for their son’s “illness” and the Goldstein family’s reputation, they just had to tough it out.

The groom, Timothy, finally didn’t look all weird and out of it

anymore.

He had been carefully styled by a stylist and was wearing an expensive custom–made suit.

The face was still pale, but the eyes looked even more empty than before, like a puppet that had its soul taken away.

He just stood there by his parents, ignoring the guests coming and going.

No greeting, no smile, like he wasn’t even the main character of this wedding.

The guests saw him like that and understood. They all went up to say hi to Emmitt and Jazlene.

Deliberately ignored this groom who looked like he could break down at any moment.

In the bridal dressing room, Cecilia was wearing an expensive wedding dress and sat in front of the mirror.

The wedding dress was sponsored by a top brand, and the diamond jewelry was provided by the Goldstein family.

She looked at herself in the mirror, all decked out in jewelry, and felt like she was dreaming.

All of this happened too fast, too unreal.

But the diamond ring on her finger, which symbolized Mrs. Goldstein’s status, reminded her that all of this was real.

The makeup artist was doing the final touch–up for her.

“Mrs. Goldstein, you looked so beautiful today.”

The makeup artist genuinely praised me, but of course, most of it was just professional flattery.

“Really?”

Cecilia stroked her smooth cheek, looking proud with a smile.

Of course she was beautiful, she was about to become the lady of the Goldstein family.

That idiot Gabrielle, how could she ever compare to her?

It wasn’t just a pile of ashes yet.

Thinking of Gabrielle, a flash of pleasure showed in Cecilia’s eyes, but she quickly hid it.

Today was her big day, she couldn’t think about those bad things.

The door was pushed open, and Jazlene walked in.

When she saw Cecilia, she forced a smile, but her eyes looked complicated.

“Cecilia, are you ready? Time was almost up.”

“Mom.” Cecilia immediately put on a sweet and obedient look and called out softly.

Jazlene heard that name and felt a bit upset, but she still nodded.

“About Timothy…” Cecilia asked tentatively.

She knew Timothy was forced to marry her, and she wanted to know how he was feeling now.

Jazlene sighed, “He was still the same. You… just cut him some slack.”

“I knew, Mom, I would take good care of Timothy.”

Cecilia spoke up right away, sounding really sincere.

Jazlene looked at her, wanted to say something but stopped, and just patted her hand in the end.

“Let’s go, the guests were all waiting.”

The wedding ceremony officially started.

The beautiful wedding march started playing.

The doors of the banquet hall slowly opened.

Cecilia showed up at the end of the red carpet, holding Emmitt’s arm.

She tried hard to sit up straight, with a carefully practiced happy smile on her face.

Tried to show my best side.

All the spotlights were on her, and countless eyes in the audience were watching her.

Cecilia walked toward the other end of the red carpet, facing all those

There stood her groom, Timothy

He looked at her with a blank face as she walked over, his eyes empty, showing no emotion.
