Chapter 3

That woman could be anyone, but why Laurel Bach?! Rita didn't know where the strength came from, but she pushed Neil away and got into the car. She stepped on the accelerator and the car flew into the rain. Seeing this, Neil quickly started the car to catch up with her. As Rita thought of Nelson and Laurel, her heart raced and she felt like she was losing control. Behind her, Neil pursued her, but she was determined to shake him off. She wanted to escape from Neil, from Nelson and Laurel, and from this fucking pathetic life. The rain got heavier, making it even harder to see the road. Suddenly, the car's tires slipped. Before Rita could react, the car rushed to the side of the bridge out of control! With a deafening crash, the railings on the bridge were broken, and the car plunged into the river. The bone-piercing water and the suffocating coldness wrapped Rita in an instant. She was forced to sink into despair... ...... Three years later, the world's eye-catching international wedding exhibition was held in New Clamport. Top celebrities and fashion KOLs from around the world had gathered to witness the event. A woman arrived. She was dressed in a luxurious gown. When she showed up, all eyes were on her. A smile tugged at the corner of her lips, and her slender arm was elegantly rested on a man's arm. His voice was warm and soothing as he whispered to her, "It's your turn." The woman nodded confidently, "Okay." She stepped onto the stage, drawing all the cameras in her direction. She was Rita Esther, and also the most mysterious wedding dress designer in the industry - Victoria. Two years ago, Victoria designed a wedding dress named "First Meeting", which announced her debut and earned her international acclaim. Later, another dressed named "Heartbreak" made Victoria famous all over the world. Despite her meteoric rise to fame, Victoria had never shown her face in front of the public. Today was her first time, and everyone at the exhibition was there for her. When she stood on the stage, the spotlight illuminated her stunning features. Her face was exquisite, her skin was fair, and her eyes were crystal. She was a real beauty. There was a special charm about her, making her look pure and enchanting. She was in a long side split black dress, and the split revealed her beautiful leg. When she walked, those legs were partly hidden and partly visible. It was hard for people to look away. Everyone in the room was looking at her, and some recognized her. "Is she Rita?" whispered someone. "Which Rita?" "Rita Esther! The second young lady of the Wallis family who disappeared in a car accident!" "But she doesn't look like her. How can that Rita Esther have the aura of Victoria?" "And it's said that the car accident was very serious. The whole car fell into the water, and Rita Esther was pregnant. How could she survive? It's not a science fiction film." "The Wallis family Nelsonled off the bridge and Nelsonrched for a month, but they found nothing. The whole city was in gridlock for a month," added yet another. As the crowd continued to discuss her, a man in a black, custom-made suit arrived late. Even though he was late, no one dared to say anything about him. The man had the innate proud and strong temperament. When he walked into the banquet hall step by step, everyone instinctively held their breath. As Nelson walked, he suddenly seemed to sense something. He looked up at the stage. When he saw the face of the woman on the stage, he froze in his tracks. Rita saw him as soon as he entered - it was Nelson Wallis. She couldn't help, because the way this man entered was so high-profile that it was hard for her not to see him. In the air, their eyes met. One was shocked and ecstatic. The other one was cold and disgusted. Seeing that they were staring at each other, the crowd began to discuss again. "It seems that it's really Rita!" "She isn't dead yet. She even became a famous designer, Victoria!" "But didn't the Mr. Nelson get engaged to Miss Bach half a month ago? And even this exhibition is held by Mr. Nelson. He does it for his fiancee Laurel!" "Once Victoria's work is released, who else can see Laurel's?" "Aha! I bet she's here to make a scene. Let's see."
