Chapter 630
Morwen’s tears were half fake and half real.
From the very first time she laid eyes on Richard many years ago, she had already decided to marry him. She believed she was the only one in the world worthy of him.
Richard was the head of the Hampton family, a man who wielded enormous power, and she was the saintess of the Azure Sea Royal Family who enjoyed prestigious status.
In her mind, only she was the right one for him.
But then, Tiffany suddenly came into the picture and took everything that should have been hers effortlessly. Therefore, she harbored bitter jealousy and hatred toward Tiffany.
Morwen cried even harder as she looked at Richard with desperate hope, as though searching his face for some hint of pity. But there was none.
The killing intent on Richard’s face intensified. Then he ordered coldly, “Throw her into the river!”
There was a river not far from the hotel, the perfect place for punishing the vile woman.
The guards sprang to action and quickly restrained Morwen.
John had rushed over upon hearing the news. His face turned pale. He was so surprised that Morwen could get into the hotel. Every entrance had been tightly secured, making it impossible to sneak in even with disguises or fake identities.
He couldn’t understand how she had made it past security and gone straight to disrupt his boss’s wedding.
John’s heart sank, and he nearly considered begging for forgiveness with his life.
Richard shot him a cold glance, and John immediately understood. Without hesitation, he had Morwen subdued and dragged out.
Morwen tried to scream, but John covered her mouth, muffling any sound she might make.
As abruptly as Morwen had appeared, she was dragged away just as swiftly.
The commotion died down, and everything was under control.
At the head table, Charlie, who had been on the verge of pulling out a knife to handle the situation himself, finally sat back down. He was satisfied with the outcome.
If Morwen had dared to say another word, he would have gotten rid of her on the spot. He would let daughter’s wedding–not a chance.
The Kelley family settled back into their seats. The music resumed, and the reception continued.

Tiffany remained calm. She had expected this wedding to attract envy from many, and she wasn’t surprised that someone would go to such lengths to ruin it. So, Morwen’s appearance didn’t surprise her too much.
Tiffany smiled faintly and held Richard’s hand tightly.
But then she noticed something strange. Richard’s body shuddered for a brief moment.
“Are you okay?” Tiffany whispered.
Richard replied, “I’m fine.”

Feeling worried, Tiffany discreetly checked his pulse. It was slightly erratic, but there were no other obvious abnormalities.
She cast a doubtful glance at him but decided not to say anything in front of the crowd. All she could do was suppress her unease for the moment and let the ceremony proceed smoothly
Among the guests, Kenneth had a complicated look in his eyes.
He was in his finest suit, watching Tiffany become someone else bride without even the chance to speak to her.
The regret weighed heavily on him and twisted his heart.
He had thought he stood a chance, but what had happened proved otherwise. Lowering his head, he sighed in disappointment.

When Morwen had burst in earlier, Kenneth had expected the love poison to take effect. Therefore, he had anxiously waited for Richard to walk away with Morwen right in front of everyone, giving him the chance to console Tiffany afterward.
In fact, such selfish scheming disgusted him.
He felt ashamed of himself. He liked to think of himself as a gentleman, but his actions were extremely despicable. What an irony!
All his calculations had failed, and he didn’t know whether to feel relieved or disappointed.
Now that Morwen had been dragged away, her fate was clear, and she would be thrown into the

bear to think further.
At the same time, another question gnawed at him. ‘Why didn’t the love poison work? I spiked Richard’s drink and saw him consume it. Morwen was so confident. Why didn’t anything happen?‘
It was not just Kenneth who could not figure it out. Morwen, who was bound and gagged, was even more confused.
The cold, deep river loomed closer, its icy waters glinting ominously.
If Morwen were thrown in, she would undoubtedly die.
She struggled desperately. “Mmm! Mmm! Let me go! Let me go! Her muffled cries were barely audible.
With an icy expression, John gave a sharp command, “Throw her down.”
“Yes, sir!” said the guards.
With a gentle push, Morwen lost her support and stumbled forward.
“Splash!” The water erupted as Morwen plunged into the river, her body bobbing up and down in the icy depths.
Inside the hotel, as the wedding reception neared its end, Richard’s body suddenly stiffened. It felt as if his blood was rushing backward, and there was a sharp pain in his chest as though something was eating away at him from the inside.
His face paled, and a surge of blood rose to his throat.
Tiffany immediately noticed something was wrong. Reaching out to steady him, she asked, “What’s happening? Are you feeling unwell?”
Richard forced the blood back down and masked his discomfort with a calm smile, saying, “I’m fine.”

But Tiffany could tell something was off. A sense of uncase settle over her. Thankfully, the guests were focused on their meals and conversations, so they didn’t need to entertain anyone for the moment.
Taking advantage of the brief pause, Tiffany stepped aside and got someone to get her phone. Without delay, she called John.
John assumed Tiffany was calling to settle the score with Morwen. After all, Morwen’s sudden attempt to sabotage the wedding was something no one could tolerate.
Before Tiffany could explain, John said, “Mrs. Hampton, it’s done.”
Unexpectedly, Tiffany ordered in a deep voice, “Pull her out of the river. Make sure she doesn’t die.”
John was stunned, but he was used to obeying orders. So, he immediately nodded and said, “Yes!”
A few minutes later, Morwen was fished out of the river, barely clinging to life. She was so weak she couldn’t move, but the moment she was saved, she let out a wild laugh, as if she had predicted this outcome.
“Did Richard order you to save me?” Morwen asked smugly. “Did he finally change his mind?”
John fought the urge to throw her back in and was annoyed by her delusional arrogance.
He swallowed his irritation and replied coldly, “You’re mistaken. It was Mrs. Hampton who told us to save you.”
“Tiffany?” Hearing this, Morwen shot up in disbelief. “What about Richard? Did he really want me dead? He didn’t care at all?
Morwen’s mind raced. ‘Richard took the Double Love Poison. How could he be so indifferent? If I died, he wouldn’t survive either! How could he be so cruel?‘
John didn’t bother responding. He motioned for his men to drag Morwen back to the hotel where Tiffany would deal with

In the hotel’s lounge, Tiffany was already waiting. Her instincts told her that something was wrong with Richard’s body, and it had something to do with Morwen.
Ten minutes later, John arrived, dragging Morwe
