Chapter 198 Emily is married
The villa was in a remote suburb. Emily shut herself in her room and didn't eat all day.
Peter couldn't wait to knock on the door and convince him. "Emily, you should eat something."
There was no response.
"Emily, if you don't answer, I'll break in!"
There was still no response.
Just as Peter was about to rush in, the door suddenly opened.
Seeing Emily's sad face, he knew that she was stimulated by the news that Alex proposed to Elly, which was difficult to accept and led to a hunger strike.
Emily snatched the words first. Laughed at Peter and get married.
Peter was surprised and got married? Did he hear what he said correctly?
"Are you serious?" Peter confirmed.
Emily nodded for sure. "Yes, I am serious, we are married."
Although he knew that Emily did not marry her for love, Peter agreed without hesitation. "Yes. Yes."
As long as Emily wants something, he will be satisfied.
It's just that Peter did not expect that Emily did not let him plan his marriage, but anxiously urged him to get a marriage license.
There was no proposal, no engagement ceremony. Two days later, the two went directly to the notary's office to sign and got the marriage certificate.
Aaron glanced at the marriage license in his hand and handed it over to Peter coldly. Marilyn is getting married, the grander the better.
Peter said yes. "Yes. Yes."
Peter's mother almost fainted as soon as she heard the news.
Mrs. Parks asked Peter to go home and gave orders on fire. There's nothing I can do! Divorce now! I don't approve of her walking into your house."
"Whether you admit it or not, Emily is your daughter-in-law. The truth will not change." Peter's voice was firm and relentless.
Cheers, Mrs. Parks choked with anger and trembled slightly. "I don't approve of you being with a woman of unclean birth. She doesn't deserve you!"
"I like her, that's enough!"
Peter Parks turned and walked to the door, leaving Mrs. Parks pointing at the scolding on his back. I don't agree! You can never be together. I warned you.
Alex was not surprised to receive Peter's marriage card.
Are you two really getting married? I didn't hear the wind of doing it.
Peter nodded, the joy on his face could not be concealed. We both got marriage licenses, and the wedding was just a formality.
"Congratulations!" Alex gave Peter a punch, hearty congratulations. "I didn't expect you to marry so soon"
Peter smiled, but when he heard the congratulatory message, his eyes became even sourer.
He knew that Emily's goal was to get married in front of Alex, which was the last struggle for the relationship. "Give up or give up."
Elly received a marriage card from Aaron in person. Looking at the names of Emily and Peter on the card, she still couldn't believe it was true.
"Miss. Do you really want to marry him?"
She does not believe that Emily has amnesia, especially her fascination with Alex, not that she can forget immediately.
Emily smiled affably. "Yes, we got a marriage license. Today, I specially came to see you, one is to send out an invitation, and the other is to hope that you can be my bridesmaid."
"Do you want me to be the bridesmaid at your wedding?" Elly opened her mouth and pointed to her chest and wondered.
"Can't you? Do you hate me so much?"
Elly looked at the disappointment on her face, I don't know whether it was true or false, to put it simply. 'I didn't mean to. It's just all of a sudden."
"I don't want to lie anymore. I don't have amnesia. I really realized that I had done a lot of bad things in the past, and I was worried that you hated it, so I pretended to lose my memory. I regret it very much. Can we start being friends and then sisters? I'll try to be a sister, okay?"
Emily continued to persuade, her voice gentle, almost begging. There are only two sisters left in our family. "My father died, and my mother left the day the accident happened to our family. Now you are the only family I have left. You can hate me, but don't reject our blood relationship, okay?"
Elly was half-hearted and indecisive. It was difficult for her to open her mouth when she thought of John Elliot.
"If you are really aware of past mistakes, I would like to ask you something, as honest as you just said, you hit John Elliot with your car, who gave you the car keys?"
This is the knot in Elly's heart, unable to find the answer, she is not reconciled.
Emily thought for a moment, made no secret, and said it bluntly. "It was Brandon."
Brandon? Cats shouted bees in Elly's head. "Are you expecting another name or his name?"
Emily continues. The key was Alex's stolen by Brandon. He did it in order to hate Alex and then left him."
Like the thunder in his ear, Elly understood that he had misunderstood Alex's long-standing misunderstanding.
Emily looked at Elly and sighed. In fact, she has always hated and feared Brandon. John was seriously injured after the accident, but he was rescued, otherwise, Brandon withdrew his medical equipment. He forced me to take full responsibility for John Elliot's death, which still makes me feel guilty.
Elly did not hear Emily's later words, and she uttered these words completely in her head. 'The car keys were given by Brandon. Brandon withdrew the medical equipment.'
"So, was it Brandon who killed John?"
Elly tremor confirmed. "How do you know all this? How can you be sure that Brandon withdrew the medical equipment?"
Emily looked at her in surprise. "Don't you know? Didn't Alex tell you? Didn't he find the evidence video?"
"Alex knew?"
Hearing the question of Elly's surprise, her breathing became heavy, and her inner emotions were complex, painful, and painful. She stood up with her right hand on the table and stood up, looking very pale and whispering. "I have work to do. Go first, go!"
Emily squinted, and her reaction to Elly was startled. 'Didn't Alex tell them all about it? Was she wrong?"
When Elly was worshiping on the road, when she thought of Emily's words, she wouldn't let the car in the back honk her horn and put aside the curses of the driver.
There is only one thought in her mind, Alex protects Brandon, so he was dishonest with her.
Elly was the one who was most afraid of being deceived. She hates those who lie to her, especially those she loves.
She did not notice that the green light had turned red and walked vaguely on the way forward. Her arm was suddenly pulled away and her whole body fell into a warm embrace.
''Do you want to die?''
Angry voices poured over her head, and Elly raised her head in surprise.
Alex's face was anxious and helpless, and he asked her carefully. "I heard that Emily came to see you. I was afraid that you were in danger, so I went to the design studio, but luckily I saw you on the way. What are you doing? Why don't you look at the signal when crossing the street? Did Emily do something to you?"
It took Elly a while to come to her senses. She pushed Alex away and said calmly. "You don't need to interfere with my work."
Alex watched in surprise as she left in the spotted area, and hurriedly chased her to hold hands, but was dodged. After several strenuous chases, the people around her began to point and ridicule her, and Alex successfully grabbed her by the wrist and stood in front.
Staring at him, Alex vaguely saw the ominous omen, and he asked patiently. "What the hell is going on? Can you tell me?"
Elly still bowed her head, her whole body emitting a voice of indifference. "I don't want to talk to liars."
"What am I lying to you about? Did you hear bad things about other people again? Why is it always easy for you to trust others instead of trying to trust me completely, even if they make up enough? What did Emily tell you? Am I not as reliable as her?"
Elly shook her hand and raised her chin to stare at Alex, "John Elliot was not killed by Emily, but the medical equipment was smashed by Brandon, right?"
"Emily told me that she saw Brandon withdraws the medical equipment?"
"It doesn't matter who says. I just need to know the truth, and now you are still defending Brandon." Elly's body began to tremble, her voice was lost and her eyes were red. "I want to listen to you directly."
Alex hesitated for a few seconds so that she could not bear to be angry. "Mr. Alex, are you worthy of my trust? From beginning to end, You knew what had happened. But you lied to me for Brandon and covered the criminal. You make it impossible for me to trust you."
"You misunderstood me farther and farther," Alex said with clenched teeth. "Okay, I want to know. I'll tell you everything."
He picked up the phone, clicked on a video, and gave it to Elly. "Look, all you want to know is here."
She looked down at the camera video on her mobile phone. Although the definition was not high, she could see Brandon walking into John's intensive care unit. After a while, he came back and left. Two minutes later, a nurse ran over, and the doctors appeared into the room.
"What's this?"
"Surveillance footage of the hospital lobby," Alex said calmly. "Although, this camera can be repaired by technical experts."
Seeing that she was pale, Alex sighed secretly. "I'm sorry, it's my fault. If I had not held Brandon by my side in the first place, John Elliot would not have been affected. This is my fault. But I'm not going to hide it. Relying solely on the surveillance video in the hall, this evidence is not enough to determine that Brandon is the person who directly replaced the medical equipment. I'm still investigating. I plan to be 100% sure before I can tell you. I didn't deliberately hide anything from you, nor did I cover for him. He was guilty, and I personally sent him to prison so that he could be punished before the law." Alex said.
Elly looked up to confirm. "Are you sure you won't protect him? Isn't he a good friend for more than a decade?"
No matter whether he is a friend or relative, there is a price to pay. My concealment will only make him more and more wrong, but I still lack the evidence and opportunity to expose him." Alex smiled softly. "Elly, can you give me a little more time?"
Looking at his gentle expectation, she was ashamed of her trustworthy character. You have been deceived before, so as long as you know that you have been deceived by a loved one, your spirit can be easily manipulated.
How many grievances disappeared, the misunderstanding was resolved, and Elly re-established her trust in him. I hope he will never lie to her and be deceived and break his heart.
"Okay, I believe you. Don't hide anything from me, and don't lie to me. I don't want to be the last person to know about this."
"Yes. Yes." Alex respectfully leaned over and kissed her forehead as if he had taken an oath.
Turning around and secretly looking around, she breathed a sigh of relief because no one noticed their intimacy.
The calm mood reminds Elly of Emily's purpose of looking for her today, and she can't help asking Alex. "Will Emily marry Peter at 9:00?"
