chapter 16 No guests have arrived

The ceremonial car rolled over the red carpet, with cannons firing ahead and colorful flags waving.
Inside the car, Awenasa's face was full of sadness, with tears shimmering in her eyes.
She had already made up her mind. She was going to end her life with Shino Cooper soon!
She had no choice. Since returning to the Bishop family, she had been under surveillance.
And her father, that despicable, inhuman, paralyzed old man, had no intention of fulfilling his promise at all.
There was no one million, not a single penny. They never intended to give her any money!
They never even thought about saving Mirte!
Gently feeling her chest, she found a sharp piece of glass hidden there!
That was the tool she was going to use later. She was going to kill Shino because she already knew that Mirte's cancer was caused by him!
Boom, boom, boom!
The cannons kept firing. After a total of eighty-one shots, the ceremonial car finally arrived at the fountain in front of the mansion.
"Please, the bride, step out of the car."
A shout rang out, and the car door opened. Awenasa walked out expressionless, wearing a beautiful cheongsam, with two flower girls behind her holding flowers.
Everything seemed beautiful.
However, the people on both sides showed mockery and ridicule.
Those who could come to visit the Cooper family were all the upper class. Celebrities, elites, and wealthy people from the city and even surrounding areas, along with their families.
In their eyes, a noble lady becoming an unacknowledged concubine, even for the Cooper family, was seen as voluntarily degrading oneself.
Awenasa walked forward step by step. In front of her was the red carpet and flower gate, and at the end were several people.
Shino, the younger son of the Cooper family, was in a designer suit. He was sitting on a tall throne, staring at Awenasa who was approaching step by step.
He narrowed his eyes and shamelessly admired Awenasa's figure. She had rejected him in every way when he pursued her, and later he found out that she actually had a child!
This made him furious, but Awenasa was from the Bishop family, and he couldn't use his usual underhanded methods against her.
Fortunately, this time was his chance!
With a sinister thought in mind, he took a deep breath to suppress his anger. He knew that this woman would be his after today. He could play with her however he wanted, and he didn't need to rush!
Beside him was a plump woman with heavy makeup, glaring at Awenasa as she approached. She was Shino's legal wife, Ruana Porter.
Next to them was the head of the Cooper family, an old man with graying hair, squinting like a Buddha.
"Shino looks so distinguished and handsome, with such a good appearance for both civil and military affairs!"
"Of course, he is the heir of the family, incredibly noble and with limitless future prospects!"
The crowd below discussed, each looking at the two on stage with envy or jealousy.
They looked at Awenasa again and found her unbelievably beautiful. Her cheongsam draped over her body, making her stunning and causing the women present to feel ashamed.
She walked up to the flower gate and onto the stage, expressionless.
At this moment, the emcee announced, "Today, the prestigious Cooper family's Shino takes Awenasa of the Bishop family as his concubine. Let everyone witness!"
Clap!
Applause erupted!
Awenasa closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and came with a determination to die. She didn't think this humiliation was anything compared to what she had endured.
Then, the emcee gestured for silence. He shouted, "Bow to the heavens and earth!"
Awenasa knelt down alone, feeling humiliated. She almost couldn't restrain herself from taking action, but she knew she had to endure. She wasn't capable of a fatal blow yet.
At this moment, a frivolous voice sounded, "Awenasa, you've fallen into my hands. Don't worry, I'll take good care of you!"
She shuddered. She recognized the voice as Shino's.
Ignoring his comment, the emcee continued as if he hadn't heard, "Bow to your parents!"
Gritting her teeth, Awenasa turned and knelt to bow to the head of the Cooper family.
Then, the emcee shouted, "Serve the tea!"
Awenasa took a deep breath and glanced at Shino's legal wife, Ruana, sensing her hostile gaze. She didn't care and picked up a teacup to offer it.
However, at that moment, Ruana sneered and said, "Kneel down. Don't you understand the rules? You're just a concubine. How dare you stand while offering tea?"
Awenasa clenched the teacup tightly, feeling like she was about to explode with anger.
Ruana continued mockingly, "What's this? You haven't even entered the house yet, and you don't listen to me? Let me tell you, even the Bishop family members have to kneel once they enter our family!"
Before Awenasa could react, the Cooper family head, who had been silent until now spoke up, "Once you enter our family, you must follow our rules."
Awenasa's eyes turned red. At this moment, she took a deep breath and slowly turned to look at Shino.
Among the audience, some people heard Ruana's demand. Seeing Awenasa looking at Shino, some people laughed.
They thought that this new concubine of the Cooper family wanted to win Shino's favor and avoid kneeling, so they all thought there was a good show to watch.
But they couldn't see the coldness and murderous intent in her eyes.
Shino was taken aback when he saw Awenasa. He coldly shouted, "What are you looking at? Kneel down! You bitch, do you still think you can escape from my grasp?"
His voice was no longer restrained, loud enough for everyone present to hear. "So what if you are from the Bishop family? You're just coming to my family to be a slave and a concubine. Kneel down, you bitch!"
Upon hearing his words, everyone understood. The Cooper family was seizing the opportunity to flex its muscles.
Some people looked at the beautiful woman sitting in the front row, wanting to see her reaction.
On stage, Shino's eyes were full of mockery as he looked at the voluptuous Awenasa. He was almost unable to control himself, wanting to quickly end this tedious and boring ceremony and take her home to torment her.
As for Awenasa, she couldn't bear it anymore at this moment. She wanted revenge, she couldn't wait any longer.
She wanted to seek justice for her daughter.
The humiliation she had endured these days was already too much.
She would rather die than kneel again!
With a sharp piece of glass in her hand, she didn't know when it had appeared there. She trembled, and the tea in the cup was directly splashed out.
"How dare you!" Seeing Awenasa splash the tea towards him, Shino was furious and growled.
Everyone was shocked. No one expected the daughter from the Bishop family to react so fiercely just to a request to kneel.
Awenasa's eyes were cold, and she was ready to act.
At that moment, a loud bang resounded!
Everyone felt their ears buzzing from the shock.
They looked towards the source of the sound, only to see that the gate of the villa had been blown open!
At the gate, a young man was holding a little girl and walking in slowly.
He walked steadily, his gaze ice-cold.
Gently setting down the girl from his arms, he ignored everyone present and removed her noise-canceling headphones before turning to look inside.
