Chapter 408 Everything was perfect: Tiffany was the star of the show while Charmine was a mere backdrop, just like the maid she was! She was the one marrying Julian, the one earning her happiness! It definitely helped that some ‘special‘ arrangements were prepared. She glanced at the emcee, and the emcee announced with an enthusiastic tone, “It‘s not easy for a couple to enter the stage of marriage. Today, Ms. Tiffany Jordan is very grateful for everyone who’s here to attend her wedding. Therefore, she had prepared a song to share with her guests today.” With that, a beautiful tune rang in the hall as the lights in the hall became dimmer and softer. At the same time, the screen behind the stage lit up. Someone handed the microphone to Tiffany, to which she accepted. With a melody playing in the background, she sang: “I‘m used to staying silent, And rumors had no difference between right and wrong.
I shut my eyes, and the noisy world faded into the face of a person.”
The beautiful and melancholy lyrics resonated in the hall as photos of rumors criticizing Tiffany appeared on the big screen. Accompanied by the sad lyrics, the photos seemed venomous as though made to hurt Tiffany. There was an air of sadness and gentleness as she sang, one that everyone would pity and comfort. Everyone was touched by her music and influenced by her sadness. Everyone became silent.
Tiffany continued: “You know love has no seasons. Even at the wrong time and place,
one could still meet.
I‘ve no regret for loving, I don‘t care what is right or wrong.”
The airy and sorrowful voice grew more determined and assertive. The photos on the big screen now showed the wedding photos of Tiffany and Julian, along with photos of them throughout the past five years. Every photo showed how happy they were. The photos were making a statement: She fell for Julian, a man she should not have loved, and she would not stop loving him as she was in too deep. Everyone was touched by her music and lyrics. She was such an innocent woman, and she truly
loved Julian… The music became more intense as Tiffany sang in a higher pitch: “Rumors are loud, it deafens the happiness, loud and destructive! I‘m tired, and I merely asked for a simple life. Is that wrong?” The big screen split into two sides, one side showing the ruthless criticisms of the netizens while the other half showed wedding photos and photos of them throughout the years. The stark contrast of the two sides broke the hearts of the audience, gaining their sympathy. Joey was the most affected as her eyes reddened with tears, her throat dried. Tiffany merely wanted to be in love as she fell for a man she should not have, yet she had to go through so much for that, being criticized so terribly... This was supposed to be the most important day of her life, yet everyone came with such an attitude, and nobody truly wished her well... While Tiffany did not resent anyone for doing that, she kept all the sadness to herself. Her gentle and airy voice continued:
“Rumors are loud, they don‘t care how deep the love is. I don‘t care what others say, I only want to hold your hand till the very end…” As the music ended, tears rolled down her cheeks as she walked over to hold Julian‘s hand. Her glittering eyes twinkled with determination, her weak and gentle figure transformed with courage, like a victimized woman working hard to chase happiness. Julian was touched, his heart aching with sympathy. Tiffany was confessing to him in front of everyone, and he heard not a single peep about this surprise. He held her hands tightly. At this moment, he only had one thought on his mind: He had to protect her and their baby.
