The Flower That Grew from Ashes novel Chapter 129

The day after the wedding, the sun rose as usual.

Sunlight streamed through the massive floor-to-ceiling windows of the Lehman Estate's banquet hall, illuminating the complete wreckage.

The pure white daisies and calla lilies had been trampled beyond recognition, stained with red wine and food grease, and scattered across the floor like a torn wedding dress that had been mercilessly stomped on.

In the air, the sweet, sickening smell of rotting flowers mixed with stale alcohol to create an absurd, nauseating stench.

However, that morning, Cresthaven's high society and the entire internet woke up to a nuclear-level frenzy that was far more explosive than any hangover.

"I declare the drama of the year locked in! Hand a screenwriter a pen, and they couldn't write a script this explosive!"

On an anonymous social forum, a post titled "Live Report: I Attended the Lehmans' Earth-Shattering 'Make-up Wedding'" was published at five in the morning.

Writing from a guest's perspective, the poster recounted every single detail of the previous afternoon's wedding with an almost unfiltered, extreme calmness.

From the "resurrected" Lehman heir kicking down the doors, to the illegitimate child of an affair being exposed in public.

From Hackett Lehman personally admitting he "never loved her," to Annelise Sargent throwing down her sterilization records and the truth about her fake ectopic pregnancy.

And finally, it ended with the Lehman matriarch publicly executing The Family's Disciplinary Whip on her former daughter-in-law before suffering a mental breakdown and being hauled off in an ambulance.

Every single word was like a precisely dropped bomb.

"To summarize: a dead guy revives for an epic slap down, a two-faced best friend backstabs for four years, an elite husband kills his own kid on the operating table, and a wicked mother-in-law whips out medieval punishment. Is this the 21st century? I thought I was watching some period horror drama!"

The comment section completely lost its mind.
