Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband-Chapter 979: Happy Newlyweds

"Leah Thorne, what are you trying to do?" Laura Xavier asked warily.

Leah raised an eyebrow, "What do you think?"

Laura had a very bad premonition, she felt that something might go wrong at the wedding.

At this moment, there was a respectful voice from the staff outside, "President Xavier, madam and the bride are inside."

The next second, the door was pushed open, and the tall, jade-like figure of Justin Xavier appeared in the sight.

Some staff members rushed to report the situation, which is why Justin Xavier appeared.

Today, Justin Xavier was wearing a well-fitted black suit, no different from his usual refined and abstinent look, yet subtly different. His handsome features were soft today, with bright, dark eyes, exhibiting an energetic spirit, tinged with a faint joy.

Ah, looking into those eyes, he truly was the groom today.

"Justin, you’re just in time. Quickly cancel this wedding. Leah Thorne isn’t genuinely willing to marry you. I suspect she’s planning something bad for the wedding!" Laura exclaimed excitedly.

Justin Xavier did not look at Laura. His gaze fell upon Leah Thorne the moment the door opened, and it never left her.

Leah Thorne was wearing a wedding gown, custom-made for her from Aurelia; light feathers encrusted with luxurious diamonds, sacred, and dazzling. The strap and waist design perfectly outlined her youthful and slender figure.

Her long hair was already pinned up, revealing her soft and radiant features. Her dark eyes were lazy yet captivating. Today, Leah Thorne in her wedding dress was breath-takingly beautiful, making one forget to breathe at first glance.

Today, she was his bride.

The once self-proclaimed bachelor, Justin Xavier, felt a genuine sweetness this moment; his chest full to the brim. Suddenly, he had a sense of... belonging.

She gave him that sense of belonging.

Justin Xavier stepped forward, walked to her side, and said with a low, affectionate voice, "Leah, you look so beautiful today."

Leah raised her delicate eyebrows playfully at him, meaning to say, what are you speaking of, am I not usually beautiful?

Justin Xavier smiled indulgently.

Watching the two exchange flirtatious banter, Laura was fuming with anger, slamming the armrest of the wheelchair fiercely, "Justin, you’re so disobedient. Sooner or later, you’ll be ruined by this woman, Leah Thorne!"

Justin Xavier was in a particularly good mood today. He glanced at Laura, "Mom, if you’re not feeling well, I’ll have someone send you back."

"No! I don’t want to go back!" Laura outright refused.

At this time, a staff member walked in, "President Xavier, it’s time now. The wedding has to start."

Justin Xavier extended his large hand to wrap Leah Thorne’s soft, boneless hand in his palm, "Leah, let’s go, we’re getting married."

He led her out with large steps.

Following behind him, Leah suddenly whispered, "Justin Xavier, you should listen to your mom."

Justin Xavier didn’t stop, responding casually, "What?"

"You should cancel the wedding. This is your last chance."

Justin Xavier squeezed her small hand, "Don’t say silly things."

Leah lowered her eyelash-like thick eyelashes, oh well, forget it.

...

Today’s grand wedding was filled with distinguished guests. Justin Xavier led Leah Thorne onto the stage, instantly drawing everyone’s attention, and they all drew in a breath,

"Oh my, the bride is so beautiful."

"Everyone has been speculating on who would win the heart of Leah, the most glamorous red rose. I didn’t expect President Xavier to be the one."

"I can’t believe President Xavier is getting married. The love of my life is now someone else’s bedfellow, sob sob sob."

"President Xavier and Beauty Thorne standing together truly make a mesmerizing couple, a match made in heaven. Wishing you both a joyful marriage."

All the ladies from noble families cast envious glances at Leah Thorne. As the prominent figure of Bayside, reserved and refined, Justin Xavier had appeared in countless boudoir dreams, and now Leah Thorne officially entered high society, becoming the young mistress.

Of course, all the men looked at Justin Xavier with envy. As men, they had to admit that Justin Xavier was truly a master at living, marrying Leah Thorne, this red rose, was indeed a blessing beyond measure.

At this moment, the host went on stage, "Dear guests, welcome to today’s wedding. Now that it’s the auspicious time, would the groom and bride please..."

The host hadn’t even finished when Leah Thorne suddenly said, "Wait a minute."

The bride suddenly spoke out, and all eyes immediately focused on her.

Justin Xavier looked down at the woman beside him, "Leah, anything you have to say, wait until the wedding is over."

Leah Thorne lifted her dark eyes to look at him, curling her red lips slightly, "Don’t be nervous, I just feel that today is our wedding, everyone needs to be present. Your mother and grandfather are here, but your father hasn’t arrived yet."

At the mention of Hugh Xavier, Justin Xavier’s sharp brows furrowed slightly, which meant, why bring up something so unlucky on our wedding day?

After the last incident, Justin Xavier had sent Hugh Xavier abroad, living comfortably but also watched by his people. Hugh Xavier had no freedom, let alone the possibility of returning home.

"I’ve already invited your father back," Leah Thorne said at that moment.

Hugh Xavier is back?

Below, Laura Xavier’s expression changed. She hadn’t expected Leah Thorne to "invite" Hugh Xavier back.

Old Master Xavier’s face was extremely somber, though he remained silent, his gaze murky and profound, contemplating something unknown. He merely watched the development quietly.

At this moment, with a "bang", the door to the banquet hall was pushed open, and Hugh Xavier entered.

Hugh Xavier really returned.

Laura Xavier immediately turned her wheelchair, "Hugh, how did you come back, how..."

Hugh Xavier wasn’t alone. There were several law enforcement officers with him, handcuffing Hugh Xavier, making it obvious he was under arrest.

"Why... why are you arresting my husband, release him immediately!" Laura Xavier stared at the officers, dumbfounded.

At this point, an officer showed the arrest warrant, "Hugh Xavier is suspected of a premeditated rape case and a car accident manslaughter case from twenty years ago. We are arresting him in accordance with the law, taking him back for investigation."

What?

The whole room gasped, everyone questioning whether they were experiencing auditory hallucinations.

How could Hugh Xavier... break the law?

Laura Xavier’s face changed dramatically, "What nonsense are you talking about, what premeditated rape, what car accident killing, I don’t understand what you’re saying?"

Laura knew Hugh Xavier had many mistresses, but he wouldn’t do something like rape.

She didn’t believe it.

Absolutely didn’t believe it.

Justin Xavier frowned, at this moment feeling that the small hand in his palm had silently slipped away. Leah Thorne stepped forward, "Mrs. Xavier, can’t you understand? Then let me explain it to you."

"Twenty years ago, Hugh Xavier had his driver buy a date-rape drug on the black market and covered my mom’s nose and mouth with it, forcibly taking her to a hotel to attempt illegal rape."
