The slap on the man's handsome face was loud and clear.

Everyone was amazed.

At the wedding, Avery slapped another man, and the man was the bridegroom.

The man suddenly tilted his head. His tongue was at the top of his mouth. Soon he tasted blood.

He knew how feisty Avery could be. He liked the way she was. It was challenging, and she had an interesting soul.

So it didn't matter. After they had got married, he had time to subdue her.

"Charles, do you think it's funny to keep me in the dark?"

Avery withdrew her hand. She really slapped him hard that her hand went numb.

Charles was in a hurry to explain, "I don't mean to keep you in the dark."He was afraid Avery would say no if he proposed to her. So he arranged the wedding and let her think Mr. Black was gonna marry her. Then there they were.

He planned thoroughly to organize the wedding without Avery's knowledge.

He knew Avery would say yes to save her daughter.

And Diana cast the love spell on Evan. Seven days was sufficient for Evan to transfer how he felt about Avery to Diana.

So no one would be able to stop the wedding!

Everything went according to his plan. Evan fell in love with Diana!

That was why Mr. Black asked Evan to attend the wedding.

Charles needed Evan to see how the woman he loved married someone else!

Avery didn't understand why Charles went to so much trouble to plan the wedding, "Then why?"

"I'm afraid you would say no."

"You're not afraid now?"

"I'm more afraid there will be regrets compared with your refusal."

Avery stared at Charles. She didn't respond for a long time. The wedding was oddly quiet.

The guests couldn't hear what they were talking about.

But they now realized how feisty Avery could be. They all held their breath waiting for more. Being slapped on the face in public by a woman was humiliating.

Charles and Avery drew all the attention. The guests were still shocked about the slap.

Some begin to get worried for Avery while others were gloating to see what Charles would do.

But to everyone's surprise, Charles got down on one knee and handed Avery a bouquet. Charles said, "It's my fault. But I really want to marry you."

The bouquet was in the air. And the way Charles did it was genuine. The perfect look, Avery was in her wedding dress was imprinted in his eyes.

Charles waited for three years for this moment.

But Avery shook her head, "Why do you want to marry me?"

"I mean it when I told you I liked you. I thought you wouldn't be so surprised."

"I..."

"Don't say no so fast for your daughter's sake."

Avery bit her lips and asked," You ordered the hit on Evan's life?"

Avery looked at Evan. Charles sent killers to go after Evan and convinced Mr. Black to be part of his plan willingly. So he was here calmly.

Avery couldn't help wondering why Charles was so capable.

Even if he had Peter's family and Jackson's family to support him, they were not enough to compete with Evan.

"Are you sure you want to know here?"

Charles was patient with Avery and her questions. But who knew she still cared about Evan at the moment?

Charles smiled. But to show how genuine he was, he still kept kneeling and explained, "He shot me in my heart. If I don't get even with him, what kind of man am I?"

Avery knew exactly about it. So she couldn't really argue with Charles on it.

"I know you hate this. But I will let Evan go after we get married."

"But I promised I would marry whoever had Vando." Mr. Black had Vando.

"I gave Mr. Black Vando. I've told you I'm the only one that could cure your daughter."

So Charles got Vando?

Avery looked at Mr. Black who stood next to Charles. She asked, "Charles had Vando, and not you?"

Mr. Black nodded," Yea. Charles gave Vando to me personally."

Avery noticed the way Mr. Black mentioned his name. They were friends.

Avery didn't expect at all Charles was gonna propose to her. But marrying Charles or Mr. Black didn't make a difference. Her goal was to cure her daughter.

She didn't have the right to choose.

Avery took a deep breath and took over Charles's bouquet. There was a round of applause.

The priest had to open his Bible since the bridegroom was a different man, "Mr. Meyer, no matter whether you're poor or rich, healthy or sick, young or old, will you marry Her Highness, look after her for her life and never abandon her?"

"I will."

"Your Highness, no matter you're poor or rich, healthy or sick, young or old, will you marry Mr. Meyer, look after him for his life and never abandon him?"

"I..."

Avery's throat was choked. She knew she had to say yes to her daughter. But she couldn't.

Maybe it was because Evan was present.

She couldn't bring herself to say yes to marry another man when the man she loved was here.

Avery believed Evan. Even if he said he had no feelings for her, she believed he would not abandon her for no reason.

But she couldn't give up on her daughter either.

Avery wouldn't dare to look at Evan. She didn't want to know whether he was indifferent or didn't care.

Avery bit her teeth and said the two words she was embarrassed about," I will."

There was another round of applause. The objection weakened due to the bridegroom was changed.

Diana saw how they swapped wedding rings. She grabbed Evan's arms with excitement.

"Great! They seem like a perfect match!"

Diana and Charles planned for such a long time. Finally, Charles married Avery. And Diana should do something too.

Diana asked shyly, "Evan, when should we get married?"

Evan stared at Charles and Avery. The hand in his pocket was clenched into a fist. But he still looked indifferent, "What do you think?"

"The sooner, the better," then Diana thought she was too pushy and said, "I mean, we can't get left behind since they are married. What do you think?"
