On the wedding day, the groom's family was completely absent, and not a single friend or relative showed up on his side. I tried calling Henry Carter, but he didn't answer. Meanwhile, the bridesmaids were cracking up, laughing together. "Julia, you couldn't wait to marry Henry, huh? He said he'd marry you, and you jumped at the chance, planning the whole wedding in a flash," someone said. "Pretending with you these past few days has been torture for us. We've been dying to let loose," another one added. The big screen flashed to Henry's laid-back smile. He said, "The wedding was a prank. You're always so stiff about everything. Once everyone's had their fun, I'll come over and pay the bill." My best friend laughed the loudest. "Henry wanted to help you loosen up and let everyone have a good time. Relax, he'll still marry you." Whispers spread through the crowd, and the MC looked embarrassed as he asked, "Ms. Evans, there are only ten minutes left until the time. Do you still want to continue?" I tore off my veil and looked at the eight people at the main table, all with gloomy faces. I sent Henry a voice message. "You all love to joke, but I, Julia Evans, don't. If you're not here in ten minutes, the wedding's canceled. "Also, the eight supplier reps I promised to introduce to the Carter family are already here. Your joke didn't amuse them." On the screen, Henry's smile faded bit by bit.
