Chapter 1049
Sophie was already in her wedding gown, and the stylist and makeup artist beside her couldn't help but gasp in awe.
"Ma'am, you look absolutely breathtaking in this dress," one said.
"Forget the red carpet stars; none of them hold a candle to your beauty," the other chimed in.
Sophie blushed, feeling a bit shy from all the attention.
Reece, standing nearby, added, "That gown, it suits you perfectly."
"Thank you," Sophie replied softly.
Reece glanced outside at the brightening sky and smiled. "It's getting late. I'd like to play the role of your family today and walk you down the aisle."
There was no one left in the Russell family to do so.
Sophie looked at Reece, who had been the rock of the company through thick and thin, her best partner in every venture. "These past years, you've been more than family to me."
Reece smiled warmly. "I was just being modest. If you had refused to let me walk you down the aisle, I would've been really upset."
Just then, Jenna, standing by the window, shouted excitedly, "They're here! Colby and Adler have arrived! Quick, block the door!" Sophie looked puzzled. "Block the door?"
Jenna started directing the stylist and makeup artist to barricade the door, then quickly pulled Sophie to sit on the bed. Sophie, still trying to figure out what was going on, asked, "Why?"
Jenna explained, "I saw it on TV. When the groom comes to get the bride, the bridesmaids have to block the door! It's like a fun challenge, and I've got it all figured out. We won't have any problems!" "But...," Sophie started, but before she could say more, there was a knock on the door.
"Block it! They can't come in!" Jenna commanded, taking charge.
Then Sandy's voice came from the other side of the door. "It's me! Open up!"Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
Jenna froze. "Sandy? What are you doing here?"
"Isn't it obvious? I'm a bridesmaid. The wedding car brought me over."
Jenna was skeptical. "No way! I'm the only bridesmaid. When did you become one?"
"Sophie said so! Now let me in!"
Jenna turned to Sophie, who said innocently, "Ms. Sandy said she was bored at Burke Estate and really wanted to come to the wedding. She also mentioned she's never been a bridesmaid and wanted to give it a shot." .

Jenna scoffed. "I don't believe you! You must be a spy!"
"Just let me in! Or I'll break down the door!" Sandy threatened.
Jenna retorted, "Go ahead. Even if you break it, you won't get in."
Suddenly, a steady beep came from the door as Sandy's personal security guard kicked it open. The two makeup artists and the stylist jumped back in fright.
Sandy, holding up her room card triumphantly, said, "You thought this would stop me?"
Seeing Sandy had made her way in, Jenna panicked. "This is bad. If you could think of using a card, Colby will definitely figure it out too. Looks like this trick wasn't so clever after all
"Jenna..." Sophie began, but then Angelo's voice boomed from downstairs, "Attention upstairs! The groom has come to fetch his bride!"
