Chapter 206
Walker Herbert was silent when he heard those words from Harper Brown.
He actually had no idea what he was waiting for, or the exact reason why he was procrastinating.
He obviously agreed to this wedding. But there was a voice in his heart that was telling him he didn't want to get married like this.
Finally, he compromised, "Let's just wait for another ten minutes. And if she still did not arrive after that, we will proceed with the wedding ceremony."
But although Walker said that, he was very upset at the moment. After all, he knew just how ridiculous it was to delay a wedding because of a female star who he had never met.
But apart from taking this opportunity, he didn't know of any other way to temporarily stop this wedding that he didn't want so much in his heart.
Meanwhile, when everyone was not paying her any attention, Alicia Kather walked out.
And on those unmanned corridors, her face was full of worry and panic.
She hurriedly pressed a series of numbers on her phone with tight fingers, and she nervously asked over the phone, "Hello? Benedict?"
The man immediately replied, "Yes, ma'am?"
With her whole body that was trembling, Alicia ordered in a voice that sounded abnormal, "I do not care about what method you will use! But I want you to stop that woman's car from getting here!"
After Benedict heard those words, he certainly understood what Alicia meant.
After all, he had been her most intimate and personal right-hand man for so many years.
Therefore, he knew about how much effort Alicia had put into making Walker marry Harper in the past three years. He even knew that Alicia wanted to make her efforts look righteous.
All of a sudden, a voice came from behind Alicia that said, "Alicia?"
When Alicia heard that voice, she stopped in her tracks and she subconsciously dropped her phone to the ground.
Alicia's call with Benedict was automatically cut off, and she felt so scared that she took a step back. Her face turned pale, too.
Meredith Herbert asked her, "Why are you here?"
Alicia looked at her husband who was did not seem angry at her. Meanwhile, Meredith didn't expect that Alicia would come out of the hall. With a puzzled expression, he looked at his wife who was obviously nervous. He frowned when he saw that, and he walked towards her step by step as he asked, "What' is happening?"
Alicia felt frightened as Meredith walked up to her.
Soon, Benedict bent down, and he tried to pick up Alicia's phone that had fallen on the ground.
Alicia immediately squatted down, and she grabbed the phone shiveringly as she said, "I'll get it myself."
Alicia clearly seemed terrified.
And when Meredith saw this abnormal reaction from her, he became even more suspicious.
He creased his eyebrows deeply, and he asked firmly, "What is wrong?"
Alicia just bit her lip, and she did not say anything.
But Meredith insisted and he firmly ordered, "Say it!"
Because Alicia knew she could not hide it anymore, she finally said, "It's...it's about Dana. She has come back."
Meanwhile, at that exact moment where Vicky Hale was...
The black extension Lincoln where she was riding continued to drive on the road.
Vicky refused to take off the black sunglasses that she wore over her beautiful face.
She just tilted her head forty-five degrees and looked out the window.
Except for the numerous cars on the road, there was nothing interesting for her to see. But her mind had unexpectedly drifted beyond nine days.
It turned out that after three years had passed, Walker was going to get married now.
And Vicky, whose real identity was Dana Roosevelt, didn't know how she would describe her feelings at the moment.
She could not help but think that people would never understand how she felt towards Walker because they had never experienced this kind of love she had.
Walker had made her whole again. And at the same time, he had also completely changed her.
At that moment, the sharp footbrake of the driver and the resulting strong inertia instantly pulled her from her boundless memories. And Dana was almost fell from the car seat.
After she had suddenly leaned forward, her heartbeat stopped for a moment, before it beat crazily out of nervousness.
Her face turned pale and she asked, "What's the matter?"
The driver who was also taken aback sweltered coldly, and the agent Freya Mason, who also sat at the front seat, was also in shock.
The driver exclaimed, "I don't know why, but a car in front of us suddenly stopped and we hit it!"
Vicky's gloomy expression deepened under her sunglasses. She did not expect that she would have a car accident on the day of Walker's wedding.
Vicky asked, "Is it serious?"
The driver did not give a clear answer, "It is hard to say. I need to check this first. Miss Freya, should you tell the organizer about this?"
They were actually already late for the wedding. Although they were almost at the hotel and the people in charge of the wedding also said that they would wait for them, now that their car had broken down, it would take them 20 to 30 minutes to go to the hotel by foot.
Not to mention that in Vicky's current status, it was neither safe nor realistic for her to walk to the hotel on foot.
Freya felt she was having headache now. And after she had carefully thought about it, she looked at Vicky, whose real identity was Dana, and she told her, "Forget it! Vicky, we're not going anymore. You don't want to go anyway, right?"
Today, things had not gone well. And in such a short road, it was really unfortunate to have a car accident. So, it occurred to her that maybe they should not have gone at all.
Unexpectedly, Vicky asked her, "Why are we not going anymore?"
Freya did not expect that this woman, who had been extremely impatient earlier about this wedding, would suddenly change her mind.
Vicky put one of her hand on the armrest of the seat, then she crossed her legs. Her other hand played with her hair that was carefully tied into a high ponytail. She looked noble and playful at the same time.
Then like a cynical little witch, she pursed her red lips under her sunglasses and she told Freya, "Didn't you just tell me that this was Walker Herbert's wedding? It just so happened that he taught economics in my university." Then Vicky continued to say while she played with her carefully made nails indifferently, "As his former student, it would be better for me to go and see him."
Freya didn't know about Vicky's relationship with Walker in the past. She only vaguely knew that she had been married before, but she didn't know that it was a teacher-student relationship.
If Freya only knew what was about to happen next, she would certainly not allow herself to submit to Vicky's wishes.
But because she didn't know anything, she could only agree.
Meanwhile, back at the five-star luxury hotel where the wedding would be held...
The truth was, Meredith Herbert didn't care so much about the wedding between Walker and Harper.
It was not because he supported Walker and Dana's relationship. But because Meredith was a businessman, he would naturally be willing to join forces with whoever just to raise his corporate finances to the greatest extent.
Although the Brown Family had a good background, this family would always be inferior to the Herbert Family.
So, it was only Alicia who was so invested in Walker's marriage with Harper Brown.
Because Meredith felt tensed since the time he heard of the news about Dana, he ordered, "Pay attention to security. Don't let any more cars get in. Especially if it was a black extension Lincoln."
The security team seriously promised, "Okay, commercial manager!"
Meanwhile, the staff on the side who didn't understand the grievances of the rich, asked inexplicably, "But...Mr. Herbert, didn't Young Master Walker said that if Vicky doesn't come, the wedding won't proceed?"
Meredith could not help but yell angrily at the staff, "Who do you think have the final say? As his father, I have the final say about these things!"
When the staff saw Meredith's serious face, he trembled with fright. He no longer dared to speak, and he hurriedly shut up.
For Meredith or Alicia, the last thing they wanted to see was for Dana to come back.
So, after Meredith had finished speaking, he snorted coldly and walked straight to the backstage.
But the moment he had returned to the backstage, he did not know that the scene had already became chaotic.
He did not know who had caused trouble among the guests, but he just heard that someone had said that the wedding was already canceled.
Meredith's expression turned dark, and he felt weak.
As he approached the backstage, he heard Harper's almost desperate voice as she was speaking, "Walker, why on earth are you doing this? Didn't we agree on this wedding earlier? Didn't we get along very happily in the past three years? Why are you giving up on me at this moment?"
Walker replied in a handsome and indifferent voice, "I am sorry. But regarding all the losses I've caused because of backing out, I will compensate in full, in my own name."
Walker said those words slowly and seriously. And although he meant to apologize, there was absolutely no sense of apology in his words. In fact, his words sounded cold.
And there was almost no reason to fight him back.
Harper's father, who had listened to his cold words, broke out and asked, "Is there any reason for this?" After all, he refused to think that the cancellation of this wedding was because an actress did not show up.
All of a sudden, a woman who wore high heels walked in, and her defiant voice broke the confrontation, "The reason is here!"
After three years of absence, the woman noticed that everyone had changed.
But she herself had changed, too.
That cute and charming girl, who was a little bit immature in the past, now had more professional skills, and now looked glamorous and domineering.
Alicia frowned and asked, "Hussey?"
Although Meredith did not have any impression of this daughter of the Collins Family, Alicia would always remember her.
In the first place, those few noble ladies and wives in the upper class were the ones who would walk very close. Therefore, Alicia knew that such a figure was not a strange thing.
Secondly, once they were at the hospital, Hussey and Alicia had a conflict because of Dana. And it was her brother who had solved it.
Hussey smiled coolly, but her eyes looked too ironic when she greeted, "Mr. Herbert, we haven't seen each other for three years. And I did not expect that you will get married so soon!"
Walker did not speak. But his face was like an ice sculpture that looked very composed.
Even Alicia who was on the side was stunned. She glanced at the beautiful and slender girl in front of her, and then at the twenty or so black bodyguards that stood behind her. Then she asked in doubt, "Hussey, what are you doing? Where are the security team outside?"
Obviously, these bodyguards with Hussey were not the security personnel that was hired outside by the Brown Family. These were Hussey's bodyguards.
Hussey raised her head, and she had a bright smile in her eyes. Then she said in a tone that was as relaxed as usual, "My people stunned them all, so I broke in."
Meredith soon felt furious, and he looked sharply at Walker. Then he asked him, "You called her here?"
But Hussey told him lazily as she pulled her hair playfully, "Mr. Herbert, my coming here is none of his business. Dana and Walker have not contacted each other for many years, and I have not contacted Walker for many years, too. I came here by myself today, and it has nothing to do with anyone!"
At that point, Hussey's crisp female voice that resounded in the quiet hall, sounded more unscrupulous.
Especially when she mentioned Dana's name, the name that no one dared to mention in the past three years, everyone's hearts trembled.
Suddenly, Walker asked in his indifferent voice, "Dana? Who is she?"
Walker's expression was calm, except for the crease between his brows. He looked serious and indifferent.
Then he asked Hussey with a calm tone and indifferent expression, "Who are you?"
When Hussey saw Walker's impatient eyes, his calm and indifferent expression, and the way his thin lips pursed as he asked who Dana was and who she was, Hussey's big and beautiful eyes squinted a little bit.
She looked at Walker in front of her incredulously.
Meanwhile, Walker had a completely calm and innocent expression when he asked who she was and who Dana was. There was no trace of lies in his eyes.
Hussey could not help but speculate if Walker had an amnesia.
