Chapter 203: Chapter 203: She Doesn’t Love You, Your Brother Doesn’t Mind?

The first time someone pointed a gun at her, Lola Gold felt as if she were in a trance.

She instinctively stepped back, looking at the gun uneasily, wondering if it was real.

The man was dressed entirely in black, including a hat and mask which covered his face, revealing only a pair of slender eyes. He first glanced at the sickbed, then fiercely demanded, "Where’s the patient in this room?"

Lola Gold was surprised. Was the visitor here for Yolanda Greenwood?

Her trembling voice managed, "What... what patient?"

"Stop playing dumb. I’m talking about Yolanda Greenwood, the woman known as Yolanda. Where did she go?" the man bellowed, visibly angry.

"Who... who are you?" Lola Gold swallowed hard, her palm sweaty with fear.

"Cut the crap. Where did Yolanda Greenwood go?" The man stepped forward, pointing the gun at Lola Gold’s head, "Speak now or I’ll kill you."

Immense fear blanked Lola’s mind, but she was determined not to let him find Yolanda.

"Speak! Do you want to die?" the man’s patience seemed to have worn thin.

"She... she went to the restroom," Lola lied, "Why don’t you check there?"

"You think I’m a fool?" the man sneered, "I’ll wait here. She will have to come back."

Lola Gold wanted to scream for help, but the man quickly advanced and knocked her unconscious with his gun.

Meanwhile, at the Empire Grand Hotel, Cooper Coldson and Melissa Greenwood’s wedding was being held again at the rooftop, this time on an even grander scale with more dignitaries and media present.

In the bride’s makeup room, Wendy Bennett and Athena White surrounded Melissa, flattering her nonstop.

"Melissa, Cooper really loves you, doesn’t he? This wedding is even more lavish than the last. I’m so envious."

"Indeed, Melissa will soon be the wife of the Patriarch of the Coldson Family. Now there are so many ladies outside who want to ingratiate themselves with you. Please don’t ignore us then."

"How could I?" Melissa tilted her head slightly, allowing the makeup artist to touch up her makeup. She intended to be the most beautiful bride today, "We’ve been friends since childhood, and we will continue to be."

Wendy Bennett and Athena White exchanged glances.

They both knew about the mix-up between Melissa Greenwood and Yolanda Greenwood. In other words, if Melissa hadn’t initially been Third Greenwood’s daughter, how would they have ever played together?

It was a pity that Yolanda was so unfortunate, having lost her family and now the support of the Coldson family.

Unfortunately, Melissa had been a substitute for over two decades, and with Cooper having fled the last wedding, many people were still watching and waiting. Otherwise, the room wouldn’t be so quiet.

"Melissa, did you make sure this time no one will disturb the ceremony? Not like Yolanda last time."

"Gentle!" Melissa’s expression cooled, and she snapped at the makeup artist.

A flash of hatred crossed her eyes, but it quickly disappeared as she smiled warmly at the two behind her, "About last time, Cooper has explained it to me. Yolanda said that his grandfather was in poor health, so he had to leave with her."

Wendy clenched her teeth, "Did the Old Master Coldson not come today? Does he like Yolanda that much? Only acknowledges her?"

"It doesn’t matter." Melissa smiled, "He can’t change Cooper’s heart towards me and besides, he won’t live much longer."

"That’s for the best."

Wendy Bennett and Athena White exchanged another look, then presented two carefully prepared gifts to Melissa.

"Melissa, this is just a little something from us, congratulations!"

Melissa curved her lips, thinking that after today, she would be the wife of the Family Head of the Coldson Family. All those who doubted and scorned her would become her lapdogs!

Elsewhere, in Cooper Coldson’s groom’s lounge at the hotel, he was alone.

He had sent everyone away and glanced at his phone on the table, as if hesitating about something.

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.

"Cooper, it’s me, your brother!" It was Noah Coldson.

Cooper thought for a moment before getting up to open the door.

"Everything ready?" Noah asked with concern as he entered.

"Yes." Cooper sat back on the sofa, stretching his long legs casually.

Noah nodded, hesitated for a while, then sat beside Cooper, "Congratulations."

Cooper said nothing.

"I know I wronged you with Yolanda," Noah said, looking down, "I owe you an apology. But you two were actually over, and since you decided to marry Melissa, she’s free too."

Cooper snorted but still didn’t speak.

"Alright, I won’t disturb you anymore. The auspicious time is almost here, I will go out and wait." Noah added finally, "Congratulations, brother, I truly mean it."

However, as he reached the door, he heard Cooper speak again.

"Brother, have you ever thought, does Yolanda truly love you?" Cooper raised an eyebrow.

Noah stopped, his hand on the doorknob, but he didn’t turn it.

"Think about it, I’ve known that woman for quite some time now. I know what it looks like when she loves someone. Her feelings for brother..." Cooper’s tone was provocative, "I believe gratitude outweighs affection."

Noah remained still.

Cooper pushed further to provoke him, "Does that not bother you?"

Finally, Noah turned around, his expression unreadable, "Cooper, what are you trying to accomplish by saying these things now?"

Cooper’s eyes darkened, "Nothing, I just hope you see the reality."

Noah chuckled softly, "The reality is that Yolanda is pregnant with my child, and you are about to marry Melissa."

"Cooper, I know you might be struggling inside, you know you might have feelings for Yolanda but..." Noah glanced at the red ’happiness’ character nearby, "you no longer have the chance to choose again."

"Live well with Melissa. After the divorce proceedings are settled, don’t come looking for Yolanda again." Noah finally turned and left the room.

Cooper grabbed a wine glass from the table and hurled it to the floor, his eyes bloodshot with anger.

He didn’t know what was wrong with him, why his longing for Yolanda had grown so much, even to the point that the thought of her carrying Noah’s child drove him mad with jealousy.

These days, he had been trying hard not to think about her, wanting to live well with Melissa, but it all seemed futile.

His gaze shifted back to his phone.

At this moment, he didn’t want to see the bride he was about to marry, but to hear... even just to hear her voice.

Cooper finally picked up the phone, telling himself that after this call, he would delete Yolanda’s contact details and sever all ties with her.

He would treat Melissa well, give her everything he could.

Except for his heart, his love, those he couldn’t give her.

Resolved, Cooper finally made the call to Yolanda, waiting silently for her to answer.
