She quickly hid the happy look on her face.
Then forced out two tears as she looked at me.
“Tessa, it’s been a while.
“You always hated me, so I stayed out of sight for four years.
“But I’m sorry, I can’t hide anymore. Not today.”
Then she looked at Ryan with deep affection.
“Ryan and I are in love. We’ve already promised each other forever. And I’m pregnant with his baby.
“But don’t worry, Tessa. I’m not here to break you two up. I’m here to join
you.
“Can you accept me? I really love Ryan, and our baby needs a dad.”
She seemed moved by her own words, tears streaming down her face.
“You used to hate that Mom and Dad loved me more, so you kicked me
out. But I’ve let that go.
“Let’s just live peacefully as a family, okay?”
I was shocked.
The audience was dead silent.
Meanwhile, the livestream comments were going crazy.

Chloe’s smile was starting to crack. She looked at me, trying to play the victim.
“Tessa, are you the one turning everyone against me?”
The next second, splat! A rotten egg hit her.
“Murderer! Mistress!” someone yelled.
Chloe froze, her perfectly styled hair and makeup ruined.
She screamed in rage, “Who did it?! Come out, right now!”
Right after she yelled, a whole wave of rotten eggs rained down on her.
Luckily, Nathan got me off the stage just in time, so I didn’t get dragged into the mess.
Then we heard sirens blaring outside.
Ryan and Chloe instantly tensed up, shaking like leaves, until handcuffs snapped around their wrists.

Nathan nodded slowly, his eyes full of regret.
“By the time I found out, Ryan and his mom had already snatched the engagement away…
“I’m sorry, Tessa. It was my cowardice that almost made us miss each other.”
I shook my head and chuckled.
I raised my phone and said softly, “You are brave. This message is the proof.”

One night, he took his own life, saying in his will that he wanted to be buried next to his ex–wife.
Nathan said nothing and buried him somewhere far away.

I didn’t say anything, just quietly squeezed his hand.
