This was Spencer and Emmeline's wedding, for crying out loud. How could someone stir up trouble by saying Spencer preferred her over his bride, Emmeline? No sooner had those words dropped than Emmeline's father, who had just stepped off the stage, turned around sharply. His previously contented expression morphed into one of stern questioning as he marched back up to confront Spencer.

The wedding was on the verge of turning into a fiasco. Spencer's mother shot up from her seat among the guests, her eyes blazing as she fixed a furious stare on the woman who'd spoken out of turn.

Emmeline, her lips quivering, looked torn. She adored Spencer and didn't want their relationship to be marred by suspicion. Yet, the accusation had hit too close to home, especially since she'd noticed Spencer's glance towards Hertha during the ceremony, initially dismissing it as him merely looking for her in the crowd.

But now, doubt crept in, fueled by the insinuations of the gossipmonger.

Emmeline's father, visibly agitated, believed his daughter deserved better. "Lily, we're calling off this wedding. Let's go home," he declared, ready to whisk his daughter away from what he perceived as a doomed marriage.

Spencer stepped forward, blocking their path, his sincerity unmistakable. "Dad, please don't jump to conclusions based on hearsay. Lily is the one I love, and I will make her happy." "Really? Then why is Hertha here as
