Chapter 384 Grand Finale

Tim found Mark. “If my guess is right, Caty Davis has already approached Delilah Collins!” Tim said. Mark’s expression sank. “What do you think?” “I think she’s not just trying to escape. She must want to do something!” Mark nodded in agreement. “If I’m right, her target should be us!” Tim thought about it and said, “I came looking for you because I have an idea!” “Do tell!” “Isn’t your wedding coming up? I think that she’ll definitely appear on that day…” He approached Mark and whispered something in his ear. “What do you think, Mr. Pattison?” Mark looked at him and smiled. “Officer Burr and my ideas coincide!” “In other words, you’re agreeing!” “Of course!” “Good. In that case, I’ll go ahead and set up, but I hope to receive the invitation list for the wedding day!” “There’s no problem getting you the invitation list, but I’ll have to trouble you to work hard, officer!” Tim frowned. He did not understand what Mark said until he got the list. There were nearly a thousand people on the list. The corner of Tim’s mouth twitched when he received it. It seemed like he had to apply for backup. Otherwise, there would not be enough manpower! …… Soon, it was the day of the wedding. Mark used his own hotel to host the wedding. It was a European-style hotel with a large garden at the back. Many people wanted to host their weddings here before, but he never agreed. His wedding would be the first. When the wedding started, many people were busy. Lyla woke up early in the morning to get her makeup done and change clothes. It was as if she was a celebrity. As a bridesmaid, Emmy looked from the side. “As expected, Mr. Pattinson is quite attentive. Otherwise, you definitely won’t be able to wear it with the rate your belly is growing!” “Why, does it make me look fat?” Lyla asked worriedly. “No, no, the bridal dress is custom-made. A little error may lead to a large discrepancy, but your little waist still looks very thin!” Lyla was relieved. “That’s good!” Emmy looked at her and could not help but sigh. “Lyla, you’re finally getting married!” Lyla smiled. “What? Is that such a hard thing for me?” “No, you finally found the person you love. I’m really happy for you!” Emmy walked over and hugged Lyla. Lyla was not used to Emmy stirring up emotions like that. “Don’t be sentimental now. If I cry and ruin my makeup, I won’t spare you!” Emmy hugged her and laughed. “But why are there so many security guards at the wedding?” “Security guards?” “Yeah, I saw many of them. They all looked really serious!” Emmy said. Lyla paused and remembered what Mark said. Caty escaped, so could this be arranged by Mark? Was he worried that Caty would do something? However, Emmy did not know about this, so Lyla did not say anything much and simply said, “There are many people, so they’re probably just worried that things will get rowdy!” “Oh, it’s always rowdy when you rich folk get married!” Lyla looked at her. “Who are you calling rich folk? I’m poor. I’m an innocent poor woman!” “Yes, yes, yes, you’re poor. I wonder who Mr. Pattinson passed his entire fortune to!” Emmy said with contempt. Lyla was quite happy about that topic. A few days ago, Mark had put all his property under her name, saying that it was to show his loyalty. She could not take his money, but of course, she would accept his loyalty. Thus, she took it. “That’s someone else’s, not mine!” Lyla was still stubborn, refusing to admit the fact that she had become a rich woman without doing anything. Emmy did not want to argue with her and simply gave her a look of disdain. When the wedding was about to start, someone came in to inform them. Emmy and Lyla got ready. “By the way, didn’t those two sweethearts come back?” Emmy asked. Lyla sighed at the mention. “They said they’ll only arrive at night!” “At night? Wouldn’t the wedding be over by then?!” “There’s nothing we can do about that!” “Okay, okay, it’s fine. We can always just hold a second wedding, then let the two sweethearts participate!” Lyla rolled her eyes. “Watch your words!” Emmy chuckled. “I meant, get Mr. Pattinson to marry you a second time!” …… At that moment, the door was suddenly pushed open and someone walked in. Emmy frowned when she saw the person. “Hey, who are you? Don’t you know how to knock?” However, the person turned around and glared fiercely at them. Emmy was frightened. “Y-You…” Lyla seemed to be much calmer. “Caty Davis.” “You don’t seem surprised to see me!” Caty said word by word. “You’d have come sooner or later. What’s there to be surprised about?” Caty walked toward her step by step. “You’re right, what should come will definitely come, and what should die will definitely die!” Emmy sensed something wrong and was just about to shout when Caty shot her hand and knocked Emmy unconscious. “You…” A dagger appeared at her waist. “If you don’t want anything to happen to you or your baby, you better shut up!” Sure enough, Lyla did not say anything and just looked straight at her. “Today, I’ll let Mark Pattinson watch as you slowly fade away!” A demonic and ruthless smile hooked on Caty’s mouth. …… Mark picked up his phone, and his brows knitted when he saw the text message on it. Without saying anything, he walked toward the outside where Tim was waiting along with a row of guards. Mark walked over and murmured in his ear. “She already got in. How did you guys conduct your inspections?” Tim frowned. “What do you mean?” Mark took out his phone and showed the message to Tim, who frowned. At that moment, Tim looked at the people beside him. “You guys stand guard here. The rest will follow me!” Then, they went together. At the rooftop. The hotel rooftop. When Mark and Tim rushed up, Caty was holding Lyla hostage with a video recorder in front of them. “Caty Davis, you’re surrounded. Let her go now!” Tim shouted at her. When Caty saw them appear together, she smiled unconcernedly. “If you have the guts, then come on!” Obviously, no one dared to move forward because Lyla was in her hands. “What do you want?” Mark asked her. “What do I want? Of course, I want you to watch as she slowly dies. I want to watch you suffer…” Caty said cruelly. “See that video camera in front? Not only will you see it, everyone will see it too!” She said while laughing. Mark looked at her and frowned, still calm. “Fine, then do it!” Caty froze and turned to him. She could not find a trace of worry in his expression at all. “Mark Pattinson, stop acting. Do you think I wouldn’t dare?” Caty asked. “You’d dare. Of course you’d dare, but your only purpose is to punish me. Do you think you can really do it?” Mark asked. “What do you mean?” “Why don’t you see who it is you’re holding hostage?!” Mark smiled coldly. Caty was stunned and looked at the person in her arms. At that moment, she was violently stomped on. Caty reacted quickly, and the two people soon started to fight. The two were about the same level and fought to a draw. Caty looked at her. “Who are you?” The person smiled. “Police!” At that moment, Caty realized that they had set her up. Then, people came running up. One of them was Lyla, dressed in a wedding dress, and the other was Delilah Collins. “Mark…” Lyla ran over when she saw him, and Mark held her in his arms. Caty frowned when she saw the real Lyla. A trace of hatred flashed in her eyes. “Caty…” At that moment, Delilah cried out. “Miss…” Caty looked at her, her eyes instantly softening. Delilah looked at her in worry. “Caty, stop this. I don’t like Mark Pattinson at all. You don’t have to do this for me. Listen to me and go with the police. I’ll definitely wait for you to come out!” Caty shook her head. “No, it’s too late for that. There’s no chance anymore!” “There is. Listen to me, there’s still a chance!” Delilah said. Caty looked at her. No one knew what was going on in those shallow eyes. “Miss, run!” She said. “No, I’m not going. Caty, listen to me!” “Miss, run! Go quickly!” Caty shouted. At that moment, everyone sensed that something was off. “She has a bomb on her!” A female officer suddenly said. At that moment, everyone became alert. Caty simply laughed and lifted her clothes. Sure enough, a small bomb was strapped onto her. Everyone instantly tensed up. “Caty, you…” “Miss, run! Run away!” Caty shouted. Not only did Delilah not run, she instead walked toward Caty step by step. “Miss…” Caty did not think that Delilah would act this way. She looked at Delilah with eyes filled with fear. Everyone watched from the side silently, because only Delilah could stop Caty. The only way Caty would not detonate the bomb was if Delilah was nearby. “Caty, don’t do this. Listen to me and take it down!” Delilah said. Everyone watched from the side, not daring to move an inch. “No!” Caty shook her head. “I can’t go back either!” Then, she looked behind her and jumped down. “Don’t—” Delilah screamed. At that moment, the female officer rushed up and grabbed her. The two figures dangled in midair from the rooftop. Tim saw this and shouted, “Hurry up and help them!” Thus, everyone rushed and worked together to pull them up. After all, Caty still had the bomb on her body, so they had to be very careful. Only after pulling her up did everyone breathe a sigh of relief. Tim looked at the bomb on her body. It was very simple but quite powerful. Fortunately, he had experience with it and defused it on the spot. After Caty was pulled up, there was no longer hostility in her eyes. All that was left was remorse. Before she was taken away, Delilah said to her, “Caty, Mark Pattinson stopped being my happiness a long time ago. In the past, it was just me who imagined that my love was reciprocated. It had nothing to do with him then, and even less to do with him now. I’ve long since lost interest in him, so you really don’t have to do this. To me, you’re much more important than him, so don’t do anything silly anymore. Be good and I’ll wait until you’re released…” “Miss…” At that moment, Caty also regretted it. “Take her away!” Tim ordered. Thus, Caty was taken away. Delilah stood at the roof and cried sadly. At that moment, Lyla and Mark exchanged a look and walked toward her. They gave her tissues. Delilah looked at Lyla and accepted it. “I’m really sorry about today!” Lyla shook her head. “The most important thing is that she can turn over a new leaf!” “I believe that this time, she definitely will!” Delilah said. Just then, Tim walked over. “Ms. Collins, we have to ask you to come with us to assist in the investigation!” Delilah naturally knew what it was about. She glanced at him and walked straight away. At that point, Tim looked at Mark. “Mr. Pattinson, Ms. Lowe, thank you very much for your help and cooperation today. May you live a long and happy life together!” “Thank you!” Mark said. Tim said nothing else and turned to leave. “Officer Burr!” Mark suddenly called him. Tim turned around. “Is there anything else?” “Delilah… Will she be alright?” “She’s only coming to assist us!” Mark was relieved. “Then I’ll leave it to you!” Tim smiled at her and left. At that point, only Mark and Lyla were left on the rooftop. One wore a suit, while the other wore a bridal dress that complemented the suit. The two exchanged smiles and Mark held her in his arms. It was finally over. He looked up at the sky. Alpine City’s sky today was extraordinarily blue without any blemishes. At that moment, Lyla thought to herself, ‘I wish everything will be over today, and I wish that everyone’s lives will be restored to peace. May everyone be kind and benevolent, and have happy endings.’
