"Great! I'm impressed, the young lady of the Graham Family. If you're this shameless, why shall I save any face for you?" Mrs. Hunter clapped her hands, and a man in a baseball uniform immediately appeared at the auditorium entrance and walked towards the stage step by step.

The guests noticed the man, and another round of heated discussion exploded.

"Isn't that man the guy in those photos? He is here! Let's see how Alyssa will defend herself."

"That's indecent indeed. What a shameless woman Alyssa Graham is! Bah!"

Ryan heard the buzzing and lifted his small eyes to look at Alyssa, saying in a trembling voice, "Alyssa, I... I'm here to pick you up. I know you don't want to marry Leon. Come with me!"

Alyssa did not expect to see Ryan so soon, and there were flames of fury in her eyes when she faced him. She walked in Ryan's direction, raised her hand, and slapped him hard in the face.

The slap stunned all the people on the spot.

Ryan did not expect Alyssa, who had always been a sweet, helpless bird, to actually slap him.

The entire Graham Family was shocked too.

Grandpa Graham initially thought Alyssa would leave with Ryan without hesitation.

What happened was totally out of his expectation.

However, it was Mrs. Hunter who was the most astonished. She had clearly found out that Alyssa and Ryan were college lovers and deep in love with each other. She even collected so many pictures of them being intimate.

She originally thought Ryan's appearance would certainly lay Alyssa bare. However, things were developing in the opposite direction.

Grandpa Hunter and the other Hunters eased slightly upon witnessing what was going on.

Leon, standing on the stage, noticed the mark on Ryan's cheek and relaxed his clenched hands a bit.

Ryan stared at Alyssa in disbelief with his face reddened.

"Alyssa, what's the matter with you? You said you didn't want to marry Leon and that you loved me."

"Did I? Any proof?" Alyssa lifted her head to look at Ryan with a sneer. "Do you have any evidence to support your statement?"

"But you did say those words to me. Also, you said there is no romantic foundation between you and Leon at all and that the wedding was all your family's arrangement. You said the only man you loved is me and you wanted to elope with me."

"When did I say anything like that?"

Alyssa stared at Ryan calmly. If she had not lived her previous life, she would have no idea how good Ryan was at acting. He was such a skilled liar to make up those words she had never said vividly.

At this time in the previous life, Alyssa was indeed in deep love with Ryan.

To win Alyssa's heart, Ryan pursued her passionately and even lied to her to make her believe that he was the man who saved her ten years ago and gave her the white jade amulet.

It was because of those lies that Alyssa became so devoted to Ryan.

But even in the previous life, their relationship did not come to the point of an elopement!

What if Alyssa had not jumped off the building but indeed showed up at the wedding with Leon in the previous life?

Would she have seen Ryan's true colors?

The ideas and thoughts made Alyssa want to laugh at herself.

She raised her head like a lofty princess, asking, "Ryan, you may say what you want to say. I loved you or I wanted to elope with you, blah, blah. But do you have any proof or not?"

"I heard those words with my own ears. Alyssa, did Leon force you to marry him? How did he threaten you?"

At Ryan's words, people turned to look at Leon.

Alyssa also looked at Leon. Then, she turned around, walked to the man, and intimately leaned in closer to him. "Honey, can you hand me my phone? I want to prove something."

Alyssa's words froze Leon one more time.

Did she just call him honey?

Seeing that Leon was stunned, Alyssa had to call him softly again, "Honey, could you give me my phone?"

"Oh, sure." Leon came to his senses and asked someone to bring the mobile phone.
