Chapter 331
Upon entering Hell Monarch Estate, Carissa was immediately overwhelmed by a cacophony of voices, all calling out congratulations and well–wishes. Some of the voices were familiar, while others were unfamiliar.
Among them was Eleanor’s annoying voice.
Oh, Jessica was present too–how irritating.
Her wedding was becoming a mess.
Kyle was the center of attention, outshining Carissa as the bride. But it didn’t matter, because Violet had quietly approached and taken her friend’s hand.
“GURG
who?”
“You’re so childish! You’re Rod!” Carissa joked with a laugh.
“If you say so, Violet replied, chuckling. “Rod is probably in the side hall. After all, he’s part of your dowry.”

Rafael slowly turned around, his voice calm and even, “We should listen to the ceremonial officer. Today, the Protocol Minister is officiating our wedding.”
Carissa fell silent, realizing her mistake. It was already quite unfortunate for Rafael to be marrying someone who had been married before. She shouldn’t bring up any other matters relating to her previous wedding.
After the salutation ritual, Carissa was led into the newlywed suite. The journey there was long, and she had to keep the white veil on. The veil was only to be lifted by Rafael once they were in their suite.
