Before she could say more, security guards grabbed her and began dragging her out. She screamed as they carried her away:
“Henry! I told you—I won’t let you have it easy! Just you wait! Wait and see!”
Just before she was taken away, Olivia caught sight of Sophia standing in the crowd.
For some reason, her heart twisted painfully.
She hated Kim for stealing her man, but deep down, she had never really cared much about Kim herself. Strangely, it was Sophia—who had long been divorced from Henry—that felt like her true rival.It was an odd feeling. She didn’t even know why, but every time she thought of Sophia, she felt unwilling to let her win.
But why?
Was it because, deep down, Olivia knew that despite all his flaws, Henry had once held a special place in his heart for Sophia?
Sophia stood there, lips curved into a faint smile, her gaze indifferent. Her expression barely changed as she watched the whole spectacle unfold.
She looked exactly like an outsider.
No—she was an outsider now.
Maybe she had never taken any of this seriously. Maybe Olivia had been the only one foolish enough to be so invested, to care so much, and to end up in such a miserable state.
Olivia felt deeply unsettled.
Once she was gone, the expressions on the guests’ faces were priceless.
Andrea didn’t dare look at Kim’s parents and kept apologizing profusely.
But Kim’s parents were prominent figures. Their daughter’s wedding had turned into a complete circus, making them lose all face. Without a word, they stormed out of the venue, their faces dark with anger.
Andrea had no choice but to try and pacify the remaining guests and salvage the rest of the ceremony.
But the grandeur of the wedding had already been tainted.
Everything felt off now.
The vows, the ring exchange—it all felt so ridiculous.
The bride and groom’s expressions were especially awful. Kim’s face was stiff, completely devoid of joy, while Henry’s expression was dark and grim.
The two of them weren’t acting like newlyweds.
They looked more like enemies.
Everyone agreed—this was the most awkward wedding in history.
By that evening, social media was flooded with updates about the fiasco.
The wedding was a hot topic online.
Henry, being on his third marriage, already had a reputation for drama. He had once again managed to turn his wedding into an absolute mess.
Netizens were delighted.
Seeing a idiot like him suffer was so satisfying!
Some even joked about how much money the Scott family had wasted.
They said that no matter how good Livinus was at making money, even he probably couldn’t keep up with the costs of his nephew’s three weddings.
At the end of all the discussions, one question kept popping up:
After three failed weddings, who was the ultimate winner?
Strangely, the answer was unanimous.
Sophia.
People said she had gotten out early, moved on, and married a man far superior to Henry.
She was the real winner.
When Sophia saw these comments, she chuckled.
People were exaggerating.
To her, none of this had anything to do with her anymore.
Henry, Olivia, Andrea—they were all irrelevant.
She was already living a happy life.
She had no interest in wasting her time on people who no longer mattered.

After the debacle, Richard’s family became a laughingstock again.
Naturally, Scott Coporation’s stock took another hit.
But the shareholders were used to this by now.
As long as Livinus was around, the stock wouldn’t crash completely.
Besides, this wasn’t the first time Henry had caused the company’s stock to drop.
At this point, people expected it.
Meanwhile, the summer heat was relentless.
And in this scorching weather, Scott Coporation’s herbal tea business was booming.
For some reason, the sales of carbonated beverages—which usually dominated the market—had been declining.
Instead, health-focused tea drinks were becoming increasingly popular.
Scott Coporation’s herbal tea, in particular, was getting rave reviews.
People claimed it had excellent cooling properties and could even help heal mouth ulcers.
Some even swore that after drinking it, their digestion improved and they felt cleansed—as if it had detoxifying effects.
Online, many women were recommending it for digestion, metabolism, and overall wellness.
At first, some were skeptical.
They worried the tea contained unnatural additives.
But after prolonged use, consumers confirmed that it had zero side effects.
It simply had a mild herbal taste—something that took a little getting used to.
And strangely enough, the more they drank it, the better it tasted.
With the herbal tea’s rising popularity, Scott Coporation’s stock began to recover.

On the surface, everything seemed fine.
But internally, the battle over the Scott family’s inheritance was reaching its peak.
—
Meanwhile, Kim was furious about her ruined wedding.
She fought with Henry for days.
And Henry?
He had no idea how to handle it anymore.
“This isn’t something I can control! Besides, you were the one who dragged me into eloping! You knew about Olivia’s existence back then—it’s not like I kept it from you! You can’t blame me for this!” Henry argued.
“Oh, so now you’re blaming me? Blaming me for making you elope with me?” Kim’s voice was filled with anger.
“That’s not what I meant.”
