Chapter 74
"What the hell is going on!"
"Do you know that the guests invited today are all dignitaries in the circle? You are deliberately
humiliating us!"
The wedding was canceled midway. The people of the Hampton Family and the Dickens Family
completely didn't know the situation before. The elders were furious. After telling the guests to leave in
embarrassment, they rushed back to the Hampton Family.
Samuel slapped his son hard.
"You bastard, do you know what you did?"
Samuel yelled at Cory angrily. He was a well-mannered college teacher and had never been so angry.
"Okay, calm down," Laurie said, feeling sorry for her son. She immediately stepped forward in anxiety.
"Cory, what's going on? Why did you cancel the wedding? Have you met any troubles? Tell us."
The lobby of the Hampton Family was filled with immediate relatives. Mr. Hopkins and the people of the
Dickens Family were present as well. The atmosphere was heavy as everyone was waiting for an
explanation!
Cory was slapped so hard by his father that blood oozed from the corners of his lips, but he didn't care.
He lowered his head and spoke in a cold and determined tone. "I'm going to divorce her now!"
"What did you say?"
Connie's face darkened with anger and she shouted in a shrill voice, "Cory, do you think you can bully
my sister? You just said that the wedding was canceled in front of so many people, and now you dare
to say that you want to divorce her! Do you have any conscience at all?"
"Cory, why are you doing this to me..."
Carrie, whose makeup was messed up, couldn't help crying loudly.
Her voice was aggrieved. "Did I do anything wrong? You said that you were canceling the wedding in
public. Have you ever thought about how I feel and how embarrassed I'll be in the future..." Her voice
grew more excited.
"You're still thinking about Christina, aren't you?"
She roared, her eyes wet with tears and filled with resentment. She stared in Christina's direction.
"She's already your cousin's wife. How can you covet her?"
For a moment, everyone looked at Christina.
Even Mr. Hopkins frowned and looked at the woman beside him. Christina's expression was tense. Her
face looked complicated and stiff. She did not understand the situation.
"Canceling the wedding has nothing to do with her. Carrie, don't blame everything on Christina!" Cory's
face darkened and he yelled at Carrie.
"You know why I canceled the wedding,"
Cory glared at her hatefully. He gritted his teeth and growled in anger, "Carrie, tell me how I got my
daughter!"
Carrie's sobbing face froze in an instant.
"What's wrong with Jasmine?" Laurie hugged her granddaughter and asked Cory anxiously.
Everyone was confused and didn't know what was going on. Why did the canceling of the wedding
have something to do with his daughter?
"Cory, is there a misunderstanding?" Some relatives of the Hampton Family asked.
Cory bit his lips. His face was darkened. He turned around and walked towards the door. He didn't want
to stay here or explain.
"Cory!"
Seeing he leave, Carrie rushed forward to hug him in a hurry.
"Cory, don't go. I'm your wife. I'm your wife. Don't go..."
Tears streamed down her face and she spoke incoherently, pleading with him.
Everyone present looked at Carrie with sympathy. Mr. Hopkins was most annoyed by the trifles of love
affairs. He had always been strict with his children and grandchildren. Although Cory was his grandson,
he was still mad at Cory's behavior.
The old man's face darkened and he commanded sternly with his horse voice, "Make it clear!"
"Cory, Carrie has been with you for so long. You can't do that."
"Carrie still has a sister to back her up. Have you ever taken the Dickens Family seriously?"
Everyone was blaming him, but Cory smiled coldly. "Am I wrong?"
He turned to look at the woman who was hugging him, raised his voice, and shouted angrily, "Carrie,
what do you think? Who let this happen today?!"
With that, Cory mercilessly pushed Carrie away in disgust.
"Carrie, I know it all -" he stared at the woman on the floor, almost strangling her to death.
"I know everything. I know everything!"
Cory's eyes were red and he roared emotionally. His voice became rather hoarse.
The people in the Hampton Family's hall were stunned by Cory's sudden uncontrollable emotions. They
looked at each other in confusion, wondering what had happened.
Carrie crawled on the cold marble floor, her hands grabbing Cory's legs. She cried and muttered, "I
love you, Cory. It's all because I love you. I love you..."
She wept bitterly, her lips trembling, and she kept repeating the words 'I love you’, trying to wash away
the mistakes she had made.
"Love me?"
Cory laughed out loud and roared self-deprecatingly, "Carrie, what right do you have to say you love
me? Should I believe you or not?"
"Six years ago, I followed my mother's instructions to pursue Christina. I broke up with you. A month
later, I was in a bad mood because I broke up with you. So I went to a bar and got drunk. Then a
married woman said I slept with her, and her husband called the police. I was locked in."
"I knew at the time that I was drunk, but I didn't touch that woman. Back then, my company was just
listed, I didn't want to make it public. I thought that after the investigation, I could just leave. But damn
it. The police said that my sperm was found on that woman and on her bed, and I was charged with
rape."
When the Hampton Family heard him say this, their faces darkened in horror. No one in their family
knew that had happened.
Cory looked at Donald with a sneer. "I really want to thank Mr. Dickens for your help back then."
That year, he was arrested at the C City's police station. The Hampton Family was in A City, so he
knew that the Hampton Family was not powerful enough to help him in another city. It was obvious that
someone had framed him, but he had no way out as all the police had evidence.
Christina sat beside Mr. Hopkins and suddenly recalled something. She raised her eyebrows and
looked at Carrie, who was lying on the floor.
"Carrie, you said that you went to ask your powerful brother-in-law, Donald, to secretly help me, so I Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
could be released. Really? Is that true?"
Cory shook her hand off in disgust. At this moment, he felt that the woman at his feet was like a
scorpion.
"What you told me was a lie!"
He glared at her, and Carrie's sobbing face was filled with apprehension. She wanted to refute, but
could not think of an excuse.
"And then you told Christina about my imprisonment. It was Christina who went to beg her father!
Christina gave up her mother's inheritance to let Donald agree to use his connections to secretly let me
out! After that, you intentionally reminded me that you're my benefactor."
"And six years later, when you came back with my daughter, you even lied about that! Carrie, what do
you think? Now that you say you love me, should I believe you or not? Can I still believe you? Even the
baby wasn't born by you!"
This girl was not born by Carrie!
"You already had a plan when you were dating me. When we were having sex, you deliberately left my
sperm... It was you who looked for the couple. It was you who left the so-called sperm as evidence. It
was you who went to the black market to find a surrogate!"
"Carrie, you think you can marry into the Hampton Family if you have my child. After you have Patrick's
secret help, you and Patrick could plot against me together, right?" Cory roared hysterically.
Patrick -
Christina was stunned.
Mr. Hopkins was grim-faced with a crutch in his right hand.
Cory's eyes were bloodshot, and he turned to look at Christina and glared fiercely at her abdomen. She
was pregnant with Patrick's child. But she used to be his wife!
'Patrick, you have been scheming since six years ago. You're horrible.'
"Ridiculous! This is ridiculous!"
Mr. Hopkins stomped hard on the floor and yelled, "Get Patrick here immediately."
