The Perfect Heiress’ Biggest Sin Novel

Chapter 22 Evans friends nodded , their eyes filled with helplessness .

His chest clenched like a fist was squeezing his heart .

The pain was so sharp it nearly stole his breath .

Thick bandages were wrapped around his chest , and faint traces of blood seeped through the gauze .

But he didnt seem to feel the pain .

He threw off the blanket , ready to get out of bed.

No … They cant get married.

I have to stop it .

Josie is mine .

Shes mine ! Evan ! Have you lost your damn mind ? His friends lunged forward , blocking his way .

Frustration and helplessness filled their voices .

You havent fully recovered ! Jarretts really ruthless .

He broke five of your ribs ! And now youre trying to crash his wedding ? Are you trying to get yourself killed ? Evans eyes were wild .

His voice was a raw rasp torn straight from his throat .

Losing her is worse than dying ! Dont try to stop me ! His voice carried the weight of long suppressed pain and despair , as if he was finally letting everything out .

His friends froze .

Theyd never seen Evan like this before .

The untouchable and arrogant man was now standing before them like a madman whod lost everything .

Evans eyes glistened with unshed tears .

Evan … someone murmured , his voice laced with pity .

But Evan didnt seem to hear him .

He shoved past their hands and stumbled toward the door .

Every step sent a fresh wave of agony through his body , but he gritted his teeth and kept moving forward His friends exchanged uneasy glances before one of them sighed .

Forget it .

Help him get there .

If we dont , he really might lose his mind .

With their support , Evan rushed to the wedding venue .

The ceremony was set in a dreamlike elegance soft lights , fresh flowers , music drifting through the air .

Everything was beautiful .

But to Evan , it was nothing but a cruel joke a mockery of his arrogance and a reminder of his stupidity .

He showed the grand doors open and staggered inside .

All eyes turned to him , and murmurs rippled through the crowd like a rising tide .

But Evan didnt care .

His gaze locked onto Joselyn .

She stood at the altar in a white wedding dress .

She looked like a goddess out of a painting .

A faint smile graced her lips , and her gaze was warm yet unwavering .

But that smile wasnt meant for him .

A fresh wave of agony crashed over Evan .

He strode up to Joselyn and said hoarsely , Josie , dont marry him .

Please , dont marry him .

Joselyn lifted her head , a flicker of complex emotions in her eyes .

What are you doing here , Evan ? Evans voice was laced with desperation .

Josie , I know I was wrong .

I shouldnt have used you .

I shouldnt have hurt you .

But I … Ive fallen in love with you .

Give me one more chance , please .

Ill spend the rest of my life making it up to you .

Joselyns expression turned cold .

Her voice was devoid of warmth as she said , I dont love you anymore , Evan .

I made that clear in my text .

Im not like you .

I dont pretend to love someone I dont , and I dont fake indifference when I do .

Everything I said was the truth .

When I said I dont love you , I meant it .

My heart belongs to Jarrett now .

The moment Evan heard that , his mind went blank , like a thunderclap had just torn through his skull .

His face was drained of all color .

Shakily , he said , Josie , dont do this .

Dont do this to me .

Joselyn said nothing .

She just looked at him , steady and unmoved .

A crushing pain tightened around Evans chest .

He could barely stand .

Then he turned sharply to Jarrett and pleaded , Jarrett , you always said you wanted to see me on my knees , right ? Fine .

Ill do it now for as long as you want .

Just give Josie back to me .

Give me back my girlfriend With that , he dropped to his knees with a heavy thud .

For the woman he loved , he was even willing to throw away the thing he valued the most his dignity .

Everyone froze .

The murmurs and whispers vanished in an instant , and the entire hall fell into dead silence .

Jarrett looked down at Evan .

Then , his lips curled into a mocking smirk .

You think getting on your knees is going to change anything ? Josie is mine .

And Im never giving her up .

Evans face turned deainly pale .

His voice trembled Jarrett , Im begging you .

I dont care about the deals , the land , or the company .

Ill give it all to you .

Just let me have her .

Shes the only thing I want .

I only want her .

Jarrett didnt bother responding .

He just lifted a hand , signaling for security to throw Evan out .

Two guards stepped forward , each grabbing an arm .

But Evan clung to the floor , his fingers digging so hard into the wood that his nails nearly sank in .

His voice trembled with desperation .

Im not leaving ! I wont go ! Jarrett let out a cold laugh .

His apice dripped with cruelty as he said , Fine .

Then sit there and watch as we finish the ceremony .

More guards rushed in to hold Evan down .

He fought , but there was no escaping So he sat there , his heart in ruins as he watched Joselyn stand beside Jarrett .

His chest tightened with unbearable pain .

Her words kept echoing in his mind , over and over again .

When I said I dont love you , I meant it .

The ceremony went on The officiants steady voice filled the air .
