Chapter 639: Ronald hesitated for a moment.
Brian's voice hardened. "Do I need to say it again?" "I'll get it right away." His forehead had been bleeding during the crash. If the wound could be hidden under his hair, that wouldn't be an issue, but with a visible cut, it would be hard to conceal. If his family noticed, there would be endless questions.

Also, get the car ready." As soon as he finished giving instructions, his phone powered back on, now charged, and Yvonne's call cthrough.
Sitting in the car, Brian turned to the makeup artist with a sharp gaze. "I need makeup for my wedding today. This wound on my forehead has to be completely covered. Can you do it in eight minutes?" "You can count on me,” the makeup artist replied confidently. It wasn't just his skill, but also that Brian had striking, well-defined features-almost impossibly perfect. With a face like that, makeup was a quick job. The only real challenge was covering the wound on his forehead, which required extra care.

As the final minute approached, Yvonne grew impatient and reached for her phone. Outwardly, she always seemed tough, but deep down, she was far more gentle than she let on. The harsh things she'd said earlier were only meant to provoke a reaction from Brian.
"Yvonne, don't call him," Rachel said, her voice calm but resolute.
Yvonne frowned. "He promised. He'll come. Maybe he's stuck in traffic-"
"If he was worried about traffic, he should've left earlier,” Rachel cut in, her tone unwavering. "Ten minutes means ten minutes. That was our En agreement. If he doesn't show up, I'm leaving." Once Rachel made up her mind, nothing could change it. In that moment, she was unyielding.
