Chapter 239 Where Is The Ring
“That’s enough.”
The solemn male voice shocked everyone, including Layla, causing her to stop speaking.
Theodore emerged from the crowd dressed in a black suit with deep dark eyes. His oppressive aura was
suffocating.
Then, he walked up to the stage and stood beside Jasmine.
In an indifferent tone, he said, “Something came up with Curtis. I’ll complete the rest in his stead.”
“This isn’t appropriate,” Layla interrupted. “Jasmine is supposed to get married to Mr. Faymon. No matter
how close you are to Mr. Faymon, this isn’t something you can stand in for him.”
Theodore took a sidelong glance at her.
Knowing how influential the Xavier family was, Layla felt a chill running down her spine after Theodore
glanced at her that way. Feeling awkward, she kept quiet as she pinched the back of Mark’s hand,
signaling him to speak up.
Just as Mark was about to say something, Jasmine beat him to it and spoke softly. “Dad, there’s nothing
we can do about it if Curtis is too busy. We have to carry on with the wedding ceremony.”
That’s right. We will be humiliated by the Faymon family if we halt the ceremony.
To that, Mark remained silent.
Theodore and Jasmine looked compatible as they stood side by side, facing the pastor. Meanwhile, the
pastor looked at them and was at a loss.
The pastor hesitated for a moment before saying, “I was halfway through with my blessings. Should I
continue or…”
“Just say whatever needs to be said,” Theodore replied nonchalantly.
The pastor wondered why Theodore was making such an outrageous request when he was only
replacing the groom. Seeing Jasmine bobbing her head, he had no choice but to comply.
He asked, “Mr. Curtis Faymon—”
“Theodore Xavier.”

“Mr. Theodore Xavier, will you have this woman, Ms. Jasmine Sanders, to be your lawfully wedded wife?
Will you love her, comfort her, protect her, and forsake all others, be faithful to her as long as you both
shall live?”
Pursing his lips, Theodore answered in a solemn voice, “I will.”
Then, the pastor repeated his question to Jasmine.
“I will.” Jasmine glanced at Theodore, who was beside her, as she smiled.
After closing the bible, the pastor said solemnly, “My dear, on behalf of the Lord, I send the most
beautiful blessings to the newly married couple, wishing you peace, joy, and happiness.”
The pastor was a little dumbfounded when he saw the two remain unmoving after he finished speaking.
“Where is the ring, Mr. Xavier?”
It didn’t make sense for Theodore to have a wedding ring since he was only a last-minute substitute.
“It’s with me.” Jeremy walked up to the stage and took out a small box from his pocket. When he handed
it to Theodore, he said with a grin, “Theodore, how could you forget the ring?”
Theodore had no choice but to take the small box. When he opened it, he saw a pair of couple rings
inside. The men’s ring was the one he had always worn until recently. Next to it was a female’s ring of
the same material.
“It took me a lot of effort to find this material,” Jeremy whispered.
“You may proceed with the ring exchange,” the pastor said.
Theodore stayed still as he held onto the ring, even though Jasmine had already stretched out her hand.
He hesitated for a moment as he looked at her slender finger before he put the wedding ring on her.
The corner of Jasmine’s lips curled up in delight as she took out the men’s ring from the box.
It was the ring that she had gifted Theodore three years ago. Back then, she pestered the designer every
day and was almost blacklisted.
Three years had passed, yet he kept the ring she had gifted him.
Jasmine took Theodore’s hand to put the ring on him and saw the string of Anglandurn letters on the side
of his finger.
She was surprised that the Anglandurn letters were still there.
After the ring exchange, the couple should kiss. However, since Theodore was only standing in for the
groom, the ceremony was over after that part. It ended with the guests’ blessings and applause.
Theodore tugged at his tie and appeared annoyed.
He had never liked to be in the crowd. Just as he was about to leave when the wedding was over, he
was pulled down the stage by Jasmine.
“Jasmine.” Mark stood up and took a glance at Theodore. Then, he sighed. “It seems like it was only
yesterday when you were the little girl acting cute by my side. But today, you’re married and someone’s
wife.”
“I’m grown up now. It was only a matter of time before I got married.” Jasmine grinned and spoke softly.
“Dad, I can no longer live at home now that I’m married. You have to take good care of your health.”
With an insincere smile, Layla said, “I’ll take good care of your dad. As for you, Jasmine, you have to
abide by the rules of the Faymon family. Remember to keep your temper in check.”
Jasmine nodded in response. “I’ll be sure to remember your words, Mrs. Sanders.”
“I’m your mom.” Layla couldn’t put up with it any longer.
It doesn’t matter if she usually does this, but how dare she disrespect me on a day like this?
“I have a mom.” Jasmine quirked her lips. “I’m sure you won’t like it if I call you my stepmother.”
“Jasmine!” Mark looked gloomy. “Don’t forget what day it is today.”
“How can I? It’s my wedding today,” Jasmine replied. She held tightly onto Mark’s hand and said
genuinely, “Dad, I hope you live a long and healthy life.”
Mark looked at his daughter’s gentle smile and felt a chill run down his spine. Daily new chapters upload
Only On Alaniniz(dot)com It was as though a wolf he had kept in captivity had finally bit through the cage
and wanted to devour him.
Meanwhile, Rayna found herself tied to a hospital bed when she regained consciousness.
The ward was huge, with many medical instruments. Also, there were two doctors in white coats bustling
around.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“What are you doing?” Rayna asked while trying to stay collected.
One of the doctors turned around and said, “Don’t worry, Ms. Garland. We won’t hurt you and only need
to extract some of your bone marrow.”
Rayna immediately understood the situation upon hearing that.
It must be Elijah’s idea to kidnap her and extract her bone marrow forcibly for Harry.
What a terrible man. How can he think of doing this?
“I know you’re doing this for the money. I will pay you three times the amount he offered,” Rayna said.
“But I’ll sue you if you extract my bone marrow without permission.”
The two doctors were taken aback. Soon, one of them said, “Ms. Garland, we will only take a bit of your
bone marrow. It wouldn’t harm you. We have no other choice.”
“I can donate it to anyone but those two!” Rayna gritted her teeth with hatred and swore she wouldn’t
forgive the man who abandoned her mother and her.
“Ms. Garland, we can only pull some tricks since you won’t cooperate with us,” one of the doctors said.
Then, he shot the other doctor a look.
In response, the other doctor turned around to take something.
Rayna struggled to free herself from the hospital bed. “You better not try anything funny. I know which
hospital you two are from. I’ll sue you if you dare to do anything to me!”
Doctor B came over with a syringe in his hand.
“Let go! Let go of me!”
Rayna yelled and struggled, but to no avail. Then, Doctor A pinned her hands firmly against the bed.
Just as the syringe in Doctor B’s hand got near Rayna’s arm, the door was slammed open.
“Get your hands off her!” Curtis stormed into the ward, exuding an aura of hostility. Seeing Doctor B
holding a syringe in his hand, Curtis brutely grabbed his collar and tossed him aside.
Doctor B hit the bed and fell to the ground as he groaned in pain.
Witnessing the scene, Doctor A was so frightened that his legs gave out.
Without further delay, Curtis loosened the restraints on Rayna’s limbs. He felt distressed when he saw
her reddened wrists. Wanting to vent his anger, he swung a kick at Doctor A.
