Chapter 204: Chapter 204

Chapter 205

In today's society, being in the entertainment industry was not a profession meant for lowly actors. In fact, if today's wedding banquet was not a top-notch one, it would be impossible to say that the entire entertainment industry was unpopular.

Therefore, when Vicky Hale heard that she and Fort Favila were the only celebrities in this wedding, she instinctively did not have a good feeling about the host of this wedding banquet.

Vicky told her agent, Freya Mason, "Since they look down on the entertainment industry so much, then they should not invite people from the entertainment industry. Freya, let's just go back."

Vicky was clearly saying that since she was not happy about this wedding banquet, she should just leave.

But Freya glanced at her in the rearview mirror and told her, "This time Vicky, you can't just take this guest lightly."

Vicky asked in an annoyed tone, "Who the hell is this guest?"

In her mind, Vicky was thinking annoyedly who this guest could be that sounded more important than her.

Freya replied, "Spark Industries' President and General Manager, Walker Herbert."

The moment Vicky heard this name, her memories of this man from three years ago came without warning. Vicky's red lips under the black sunglasses she wore stiffened inch by inch, and the atmosphere in the car became silent for some time.

Obviously, Freya did not know what had happened in the past between Walker and Vicky.

But Vicky could very clearly remember it.

In fact, she could not help but wonder what Walker intended to do with this arrangement with her.

As a result, Vicky fell in a deep trance, so much so that Freya kept calling her, but she did not seem to hear her.

Freya called her, "Vicky? Hey, Vicky?"

Freya continued to speak, "Vicky, what is wrong with you?"

Freya had lost count of the number of times she had called Vicky's name until Vicky had finally come back to her senses.

Fortunately for Vicky, her big, black sunglasses perfectly concealed her expression and mood. But her voice still betrayed her confusion when she asked, "What's happening?"

Because Freya had never seen her like this, Freya was a little startled and she asked worriedly, "Vicky, what's wrong with you? Do you really want to go to the wedding banquet? If you really can't do it, then I will just tell Fort. Anyway, we are in a traffic jam, and we are already late."

As Vicky's agent, Freya sometimes acted more like a caring big sister. Although she was usually strict, in essence, she also cared about Vicky.

And Vicky could not help but be reminded of her best friend from the past, Hussey Collins.

Vicky replied to Freya after a few seconds, "No need for that." And with that said, it clearly meant that she was ready to go.

Then she continued to say, "Isn't it just a wedding banquet? Then I'm sure it wouldn't take that long."

But when Vicky said this, despite the cold expression in her face, she could feel as if her heart was stabbed for no reason.

Freya asked her again, "Then...are you really going?"

Meanwhile, at the hotel, the wedding went on in an orderly manner.

All the staff and guests entered the venue according to the scheduled time.

And it was only during that time when the wedding organizer realized that Vicky had not arrived yet.

Upon realization that something was wrong, Alicia Kather, who wore a black flannel, was the first to ask with a frown, "Is that Vicky on the guestlist, that little star who suddenly became popular this year?"

The staff who felt embarrassed about Alicia's question, folded both of his hands and bowed his head to answer respectfully, "Yes, ma'am." But despite that, he could not help but wonder at how rich people could be so self-willed. They didn't pay attention to the entertainment industry at all, and they didn't even know who queen Vicky was.

The staff also knew that Vicky's absence at the moment had something to do with her own style. She would never willingly appear on variety shows, endorsements, nor go to public events. In fact, it was very difficult for the media to photograph her. She first became popular because of the topical nature of the film, 'Love and Redemption.'

So, even if someone really didn't know what she looked like, it was normal. After all, the film 'Love and Redemption' had not been released yet.

The staff member continued to explain to Alicia, "She was originally a special guest. But I do not know what had happened and why she had not arrived yet."

Alicia sneered and blurted out, "Just because she is an actress, does she really think of herself so highly? We don't have to wait for her. Let's just start!"

Alicia had been waiting for this wedding to happen for a long time already. And the sooner that this was over, the sooner her heart could relax.

At this point, she would not allow anything to go wrong.

More so, she would not let a ghost guest, who had no influence on the wedding process, interfere or delay this event.

The staff frowned slightly and tried to say, "But..."

In the staff's mind, one of the reasons he and his colleagues were desperately staying to work overtime was because they wanted to see Goddess Vicky.

Alicia frowned and she interjected, "What?"

The staff struggled to say, "Vicky's agent just called...and she said that...that they are almost here. Would you like to wait for a little while?"

Alicia's eyebrows frowned solemnly and she did not speak.

At that point, a black figure walked out slowly in the background.

Both Alicia and the staff looked at him subconsciously.

Alicia was taken aback when she saw him. Then she worriedly asked, "Walker, why haven't you changed your clothes yet?"

She saw that Walker was dressed up in black, and his appearance was as cold as ever, but looked pure and noble. Three years had passed, and yet, time had not left any marks on his face or body.

And even if the last bit of frivolousness and publicity had faded, Walker's current look was still full of maturity and male charm. He actually looked like a bottomless deep ocean. Sometimes he looked calm, and sometimes he looked dark.

Walker asked the staff, "Is everyone already?"

The staff replied and explained, "Almost, Mister Walker. We are just waiting for the celebrity star, Miss Vicky. Her agent just called that they encountered a traffic jam along the way, but they will be here soon."

Walker nodded, and he did not say anything. But his attitude and expression made it clear that he was mostly prepared to wait.

When Alicia saw that, she could not stand it.

She looked at Walker with a smile and told him, "Walker, I guess we should not wait any longer. You don't know her anyway. Besides, a lot of guests are already waiting outside."

The man refused without expression, "No. Didn't she say that she was coming soon? Then that means she would be here any moment now."

After Walker had finished speaking, he walked out silently without looking back.

Although Alicia wanted to say something and she had stretched out her hand to make Walker stay, the man's figure had already gone out.

Alicia was secretly unhappy.

Not long after Walker and the staff had gone out, Alicia immediately made a call.

Alicia held the phone with a calm face and she said over the phone, "Hello, Benedict? I want you to send me a copy of the celebrity profile of that actress named Vicky. And yes, I want a photo."

After a few seconds, Alicia asked in shock, "What?"

Alicia was actually only halfway through her question when she suddenly heard what Benedict had confessed. Soon, her original exquisite and luxurious face froze in shock.

Then she blurted out, "What did you just say she looked like? Dana? Dana Roosevelt from three years ago?"

On the other end of the line, Benedict said nervously, "I didn't know that this Vicky was actually Dana! No one has ever written nor posted her photos, and anyone who has seen her in person doesn't know that she is Dana!"

When Alicia heard this, her mobile phone almost fell to the ground as she fell in a trance.

She did not expect that Dana, who had been gone three years ago, would suddenly come back and appear at this event.

Alicia blurted out, "No way! Wait!"

Only one thing was in her mind. Dana should not come here at the wedding.

Soon, time passed by. And in a blink of an eye, half an hour had passed since the bride and groom appeared.

But after half an hour had passed, Walker was still sitting at the backstage. And he clearly had no plans to change his clothes, nor get ready for styling.

The stylist next to Walker was almost dying because of too much pressure. But Walker just sat there calmly, as if he was not hearing anyone with him. Walker's whole body just exuded a sense of indifference.

Although the stylist knew he should be hustling by now, no matter how anxious he was, he did not dare make trouble with Walker.

The stylist could only helplessly say, "General Manager, the wedding should have started half an hour ago. Do you want to change your clothes now?"

The stylist was actually about to cry as he said this. He did not know whether Walker wanted to get married or not.

No one could tell what Walker was thinking at the moment, or what else was he waiting for.

All of a sudden, Walker asked indifferently, "Is there anyone who hasn't arrived yet?"

During that time at the hotel auditorium, all the guests already felt uneasy and tense.

The wedding organizer in charge mumbled nervously and uneasily, "Ma'am Alicia, I am really sorry. We didn't know this will happen..."

The wedding was supposed to start half an hour ago, but Vicky had not yet arrived.

Meanwhile, Alicia's current expression could no longer be described as gloomy. In fact, the expression in her face could already make people who saw her feel depressed. No one dared to step forward to disturb her. Only the wedding organizer had the guts to talk to her and explain everything.

Of course, Walker's father, Meredith Herbert, and Harper Brown's parents were also at the scene. Their expressions were naturally tense, as if a storm was coming.

But since they were people who were already accustomed to such tense situations, Harper spoke softly and persuaded, "Walker, she is just an ordinary actress. Don't worry too much about it. If you really want to invite people from the entertainment industry, I can always ask my friends to come over. And they are not worse than Vicky!"

Because Harper did not know who Vicky was, she felt very calm when she said these words.

Meanwhile, Walker had changed into a white dress and he sat gracefully on the golden velvet sofa. He looked very handsome, as if a god had descended from the sky.

Then he announced, "Since she had been invited, there is no reason to break this appointment."

Everyone was stunned upon hearing his words.

The words were so lightly spoken by him, as if he did not care about the time and would rather willingly wait. As if it didn't matter for the wedding to be dragged on a little longer.

Alicia immediately became anxious and she said, "Walker, what's the matter with you? She is just a guest! It doesn't matter if she comes or not!" At that point, because Alicia already knew who Vicky was, she became anxious even more.

In these three years that had passed, Alicia was sure, based from Walker's current state, that he had forgotten about Dana.

Unexpectedly, Walker suddenly stood from the sofa and he announced, "I have decided that today, we will wait for everyone to get here. Until then, this wedding ceremony will not proceed."

After Walker had finished speaking, Harper felt like a thunder had struck when she heard his words.

She could not believe how Walker could easily speak of postponing their wedding.

And she could not believe that this was all because of a guest that he had never seen before.

Because of this, Harper could not help but ask, "Walker, it is because you don't want to marry me, right? Why do you have to make an excuse to wait for someone and make me look so bad?" With that said, Harper's eyes were tearful, and she dragged the long trail of her wedding dress on the ground. Her voice was inquisitive, and she looked a lot like a lost princess.
