Once I Let Go, He Fell Apart

My best friend and I married into wealthy families on the same day.

I married Garry Huerta, the younger uncle of the Huerta Family and she married Jarvis Huerta, the nephew of Garry.

On the wedding day, my father and my best friend's father came to the wedding, but were beaten by bodyguards.

My best friend and I cried, begging Garry and Jarvis to stop it.

Garry held his first love in his arms and glared at me as he barked, “Maribel, can you be more sensible? These two old perverts sexually harassed Quinn, they deserve to be beaten to death.”

I tried my best to explain that my father and my best friend's father were not like that. There must be a misunderstanding between them.

He sneered, “That's enough. In order to go against Quinn, you even made up a lie that they are your parents. I am so disappointed in you!”

In desperation, I knelt in front of Quinn Fritz and kowtowed to apologize.

My best friend wanted to rush over to protect her father, but was held tightly by Jarvis.

Jarvis slapped her in the face and cursed, “It's all your fault that you insisted on having the wedding. That's why Quinn got wronged. This is all your fault. Go and apologize to Quinn.”

After the beating, my best friend and I immediately sent our father to the hospital, but it was too late.

A wedding destroyed my family and my best friend’s. We regret it and decided to not want to marry them.

But after we left, they caught up with us.

——

The lights in the emergency room went out and the bodies of my father and my best friend's father were pushed out.

The moment the doctor shook his head at us, my best friend and I collapsed to the ground and cried our heads off.

Several medical staff hurried past us.

“Have you heard? Mr. Garry and Mr. Jarvis of the Huerta Family offered 10 million to hire the best psychologist in the hospital to treat their first love's psychological trauma.

“It is said that the first love was harassed by two old men at the wedding.”

When I heard these words, I was stunned. My nails dug into my palms without me noticing and blood dripped down.

Quinn was the unattainable first love of both Garry and Jarvis. A woman they cherished but could never truly have. 

Yet, she was also the very person responsible for the deaths of my father and my best friend’s father.

At the wedding, Quinn's loud cry for help attracted everyone's attention.

As I rushed over, I saw Quinn being cornered by my father and my best friend's father.

Her eyes were blurred with tears, the collar of her skirt had fallen to her shoulders and the hem of her skirt was lifted up a little bit and she was struggling to break free from the arms of my father and my best friend's father.

Everyone gasped, while Garry and Jarvis were furious.

Without giving my father and my best friend's father any explanation, he ordered his bodyguards to beat them up.

My best friend and I knelt at Garry and Jarvis's feet to beg them, telling them that the person being beaten was my and my best friend's father and asked them to stop.

Quinn said while crying, “I have already given Garry and Jarvis to you, why are you still unwilling to let me go and spend money to hire two old men to sexually harass me?

“They even took indecent photos of me and you actually lied, saying that they were your fathers, just to protect them and get those photos back? Was ruining my reputation the price you were willing to pay?”

Hearing this, Garry and Jarvis were certain that my best friend and I were lying and forced me and my best friend to watch our father being beaten to death.

When they were sent to the hospital, it was already too late.

A wedding turned into my father and my best friend's father's funeral.

My mobile phone suddenly rang.

I received the video of the wedding and the photo shoot that I took by chance.

In the video, Quinn deliberately ruffled her clothes and threw herself into the arms of my father and my best friend's father, holding them tightly with both hands.

Then, there was the scene where she shouted for help.
