Chapter 293 - 293 Ch. 293 Jamie Arc (part 7) Loraine’s Wedding Day
293 Ch. 293 Jamie Arc (part 7) Loraine’s Wedding Day
Because Jamie was a mute girl, no one wanted to hire her. Even just working as a dishwasher in a restaurant, no one wanted to use her services. The only one who accepted her for work was the older man who owned the antique shop―Mister Huo. The owner was kind and did not force her to work as a receptionist. Mister Huo ordered her to clean antiques and taught her how to clean some ancient objects properly.
Sometimes the older man would tell the legend of these antiques, and Jamie would listen with great interest. Mister Huo even allowed her to go on vacation to attend Loraine’s wedding.
The good news was that Mister Huo and his wife would accompany her because Loraine invited them both.
Little did they know one of Master Yu’s men had followed Jamie since she left the Shu residence.
Everything seemed to run peacefully on Loraine’s wedding day, and no problems occurred. Loraine and Jamie acted childish when they saw each other after more than two years apart.
As Loraine said, Zhou Yu Hue was amusing when talking to people, but when talking to Loraine, the young man turned into a naughty person and often irritated Loraine.
Surprisingly, the two looked harmonious even though they often argued as if they were meant to be together.
Jamie also saw how Yu Hue looked at Loraine as if the girl was his everything, while Loraine looked at Yu Hue as if the man was her place to live.
If only she could find someone who looked at her like Yu Hue looked at Loraine... but who would fall in love with a mute girl like her?
.....
‘Loraine, are you happy?’ Jamie asked her friend as they rested in one of the bridal hotel rooms.
“I’m so happy, Jamie. There are no rules, no eyes watching my moves, and most of all… I have the complete package.”
‘Complete package?’
“Leaving my father’s house, I got a new father, mother, brother, and husband instead.”
Jamie laughed, followed by Loraine, who looked so happy, and the two of them were still chatting while waiting for the reception to be held in a few hours.
Since Loraine was not a quiet person by nature, she left the room to look for her husband among the guests while letting Jamie sleep due to the exhaustion of the long journey.
Loraine came out of her room and walked down the corridor to make her way to the elevator. When the elevator door opened, she saw a man she did not know was already there.
Thinking that the man was a hotel guest staying at this hotel, Loraine still got into the elevator. Surprisingly, as soon as the elevator door closed, the elevator she was riding in suddenly stopped, causing Loraine to panic.
“Looks like we’re trapped in this elevator.”
Loraine glanced at the young man and somehow felt uncomfortable with this person. “It seems so.”
“Don’t you want to withdraw from this marriage, miss?”
“You have no right to meddle in other people’s business.”
The man smiled crookedly, “You don’t know me yet, miss. But I know you. You are Loraine Shu, daughter of Deke Shu and younger sister of Lawrence.”
“...” Loraine stood straight in place without showing that she was in great panic. Who is this person? How could this person know her?
Even though the Zhao family wasn’t poor, the Zhao family wasn’t a person of high power until Zhao Yu Hue’s marriage made headlines.
She was sure her wedding today would not attract attention because they were ordinary citizens like other Hong Kong residents. But why do people still recognize her?
“Who are you? Did my father send you here?”
“Of course not.”
Loraine took a utility knife from the pocket of her casual dress and pressed it against the man’s stomach as he walked towards her.
“Don’t come any closer, or I’ll kill you.”
The man laughed at that as he looked at Loraine like she was a child who was not afraid to handle scary monsters.
“I heard Deke Shu’s daughter is a gentle girl and has never handled a weapon. Who would have thought that no one knows the other side of Loraine who can point a weapon at a human.”
“Were you the one who made the elevator stop?” demanded Loraine ignoring the man’s sarcasm.
“Ho? How did you know that?”
“Loraine? What is it?”
A voice from Loraine’s phone sounded, making the foreign man who was so intimidating to her frown. He wondered, since when did Loraine contact someone?
“I’m stuck in elevator number three. Can you send someone to help me?”
“Of course. Wait a moment.”
Loraine could see a gleam of anger and annoyance in the stranger who claimed to know her. He probably wouldn’t be able to do anything if he was always in the elevator with this person. But if her husband knew where she was and was on his way to help her, this person wouldn’t dare do anything to her.
Even if this person were to do anything to her, he would become the prime suspect when people opened the elevator doors.
Loraine refolded her utility knife because she was sure this person wouldn’t attack her.
“I warn you, you better go back to your house. Otherwise, don’t blame me if something happens to your dear ones.”
“You think I’m afraid of you.”
“Maybe you’d be scared if you knew who I was.”
“I’ve never been afraid of outsiders other than my own family. If you already know my family, then you know that I am not someone who is easily threatened.”
“That is indeed true. But what can you do when you run away from home?” the man stretched his arms out so they could lean against the elevator wall next to Loraine’s face. “I want to see what you will do to escape Yu Long’s clutch.”
Hearing Yu Long’s name made Loraine barely able to hide her shock.
This person was the one who wanted to marry her two years ago! This person is Master Yu of the Luen group!
Not long after, the elevator started running again, and the doors opened where the faces of the husband and Jamie appeared.
Yu Hue hugged his wife while Loraine glanced at Yu Long, who was now smiling sarcastically at them before the man left them.
What should she do? If Yu Long was going to attack her husband… Yu Hue would not be able to survive.
