“You’re already married! Why are you here to register again?!
“Don’t you realize it’s a crime to be a bigamist?”
…
Keira Olsen, startled, stepped out of the courthouse, holding a just-printed marriage certificate.
The man who had accompanied her here to register looked at the stunning woman and lamented, “Miss Olsen, you’re already married. Why did you hire me for a sham wedding?”
After saying that the deposit was non-refundable, he left in a hurry.
Keira bit her lip, still reeling from the shock.
She’d never even had a boyfriend. How could she possibly be married?!
She lowered her head to look at the printout in her hands.
In the certificate photo, the girl appeared a bit constrained with a forced smile. The mole on the corner of her eye proved that it was indeed her. As for the man…
He had heavy features and a prominent nose. His thin lips curved into a faint smile as he stared into the camera lens intently as if they were piercing through the paper.
His mystery and commanding presence couldn’t be concealed, even in a black-and-white photo.
She then looked at his name: Lewis Horton.
She was certain she never met this man!
What on earth was going on?!
Keira took out her phone, snapped a picture of the certificate, opened WhatsApp, and sent it to a contact with a black avatar. “Help me figure out who this is.”
She got an instant reply. “Got it.”
Only then did Keira momentarily set aside her confusion. She climbed onto her old electric scooter and slowly rode into an upscale villa area, returning to the Olsen family.
