Became A Queen After divorce

Cheyenne’s face grew serious as she raised her guard.

“Oh? Someone like me? Dear sister-in-law Cheyenne, what kind of person am I?”

Sam teased, emphasizing her words with a light tone, as if he wasn’t worried about his situation at all.

Cheyenne rolled her eyes at him and said, touching her nose, “Selfish, calculating, a smiling tiger with a cruel heart… don’t you have any self-awareness?”

Her attitude was poor, not even bothering to maintain basic politeness.

Sam wasn’t angry; instead, he looked at Cheyenne with an appreciative gaze.

“You’re still as bold and passionate as ever, quite likable. But today is my wedding. Aren’t you afraid I’ll kill you for saying such things on my turf?”

His gentle voice carried a threat, but Cheyenne showed no fear.

She sneered, “You said it yourself, it’s your wedding today. Do you really want bloodshed at your wedding?”

“No,” Sam replied slowly.

“Exactly. Besides, I have a serious question for you.”

“Go ahead, ask while I’m in a good mood. Later… who knows.”

As he spoke, he glanced at Kelvin standing nearby.

Kelvin, his half-brother, stood protectively by Cheyenne’s side, fearing Sam might harm her.

What a joke. If Sam really wanted to kill them, they wouldn’t still be standing there.

Anyone Sam wanted dead never lived long.

Cheyenne coldly asked, “Are you truly marrying Pearl out of love? Or is she just another tool for you?”

For a moment, countless thoughts flashed through Sam’s mind, but he never expected Cheyenne to ask this question.

He glanced lazily at the wedding scene.

The place was bustling with people and flowers, a picture of joy and harmony.

His clear voice rang out, “What if I am? What if I’m not? What does it matter to you, Cheyenne?”

Cheyenne had a fiery temper.

“Of course it matters! Miss Pearl is my good friend. She’s a good girl who deserves a man who truly loves her.”

“If you really like her, you shouldn’t drag her down. If you’re just using her, then you’re despicable!”

“If you’re still a man, Sam, don’t use an innocent woman as your shield.”NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

Her words were firm and filled with reproach.

Sam seemed indifferent but had taken in every word Cheyenne said.

He smiled bitterly to himself: “I have indeed dragged her down…”

He didn’t answer immediately. Just as Cheyenne was losing patience, music started playing.

The loud music interrupted her thoughts and drowned out Sam’s quiet reply.

“I understand.”

With that, Sam walked away without looking back.

The wedding host enthusiastically introduced on stage:

“Hello everyone, I’m today’s wedding host XX. Welcome to witness the union of this couple…”

“The wedding begins. Now, let’s welcome the groom!”

Sam appeared to the left of the host with a composed stride. His striking looks and extraordinary presence immediately drew screams from the crowd.

And some doubts as well.

“Wow, the groom is so handsome! But why have I never seen him before?”

“You don’t understand. I heard the groom is one of Mr. Gilliam’s subordinates, so not many people know him.”

“What? That Mr. Gilliam is marrying his daughter to an unknown guy?”

“You don’t get it. The Gilliam family has only two daughters. The eldest daughter Libby is already married to Crete Lord Parker, and Miss Pearl, Mr. Gilliam’s biological daughter, is more favored.”

“Mr. Gilliam must be reluctant to let Miss Pearl marry out, so he chose someone without power as a live-in son-in-law.”

“A… live-in son-in-law? That’s so humiliating. The groom looks so handsome but turns out to be a kept man.”

Hearing this, the women mesmerized by Sam’s beauty were not pleased.

“Pfft, what’s so humiliating about being a live-in son-in-law?”

“Look at those ugly faces inside; would Miss Pearl want them as live-in sons-in-law?”

If it were them, they’d be willing too.

Not to mention anything else, the man was so handsome; taking him out would be impressive enough.

After seeing the groom’s appearance, everyone began to anticipate what kind of beauty the bride would be.

The host’s voice rang out again: “Alright, now let’s welcome the bride.”

To the elegant and melodious wedding march, Pearl appeared holding her father’s arm.

On the red carpet, the girl wore a white wedding dress with a slender waist and a trailing veil that swept across the ground.

Her face was obscured by the veil, but her figure alone suggested she was a beauty.

Pearl was extremely nervous. Holding her father’s arm tightly, she took her first step.

She wasn’t the only one nervous; Declan also couldn’t help but tremble slightly.

Today was the day he handed his precious daughter over to Sam; from now on, Pearl would no longer be his alone.

“Pearl, let’s go. Sam is waiting for you.”

“Daddy, thank you.”

It was the first time Pearl had sincerely thanked him.

Without him, she wouldn’t be here today.

A simple “thank you” brought tears to Declan’s eyes.

He tasted the saltiness of his tears for the first time.

At this moment, he wasn’t the revered Mr. Gilliam or the feared General of the Gilliam family; he was just Pearl’s father.

An ordinary father!

A father reluctant to see his daughter marry!

“Silly child, there’s no need for thanks between us. I just hope you and Sam can live happily together.”

“We will.”

“If he bullies you, remember to tell Daddy. Don’t ever wrong yourself. Remember you’re my daughter; Daddy will always have your back.”

Pearl sobbed softly. She realized that in over twenty years of life without fatherly love, today made up for it all at once.

“I will, Daddy. Don’t worry.”

“Silly child, today is your big day; let’s not cry. Look up; Sam is waiting for you ahead.”

She instinctively looked up.

At the other end of the red carpet, Sam stood like a prince charming, smiling at her with an outstretched hand waiting for her arrival.

Hope ignited in Pearl’s heart. She was about to spend her life with the man she loved most.
