“I’m curious about the person who did such a deed without leaving his name as well. To be able to get our general manager’s personal help, he must be a prominent figure!” “No matter who is it, I’m super envious of that woman.” *** Meanwhile, in the Sullivan family’s living room. “Honey, Tom, Emily is still pregnant with our grandchild. Are we really going to keep ignoring her? What if something happens to the child?” Bailey looked worriedly at Tom sitting beside her and at Tony sitting on the single sofa as she spoke. “I’ve already inquired. She’s doing well there. And she’s coming out the day before the wedding, isn’t she? It’s only a few days, so there’s no need to care about her specifically. It’d be good for her to learn a lesson as well.” “And can’t you see what she’s done? To achieve her own goals, she had endangered her family’s business. What about the future? What if she endangers our family in the future?” Tom was irked. “Tom is right. It’ll be good for her to
Emily was stunned. “What do you mean? Hasn’t it been arranged that we’ll be able to get out today?” “Not today. There’s something wrong with our internet, so we can’t perform the release procedures. It’ll have to be tomorrow, at least eleven in the morning,” said the correctional officer. The correctional officer’s words were like a splash of cold water on Emily, extinguishing all of their wondrous expectations. Tomorrow was the day of her wedding. If she could only have the release procedures done tomorrow, what about her wedding? Would it have to be postponed? The Sullivan family expected her to be released today. Hence, they did not change the wedding date. The invitations had already been sent out, so it was impossible to postpone. However, if the wedding at twelve in the afternoon couldn’t be delayed, there wouldn’t be time for anything if she left prison at eleven. There wouldn’t be time for proper makeup, no time for a nice hairdo. She would have to rush to the venue
Vrrt, vrrt, vrrt. Her phone vibrated. Xyla casually glanced at the screen to see that Five Batton had sent her a WeChat message. She immediately opened it. “I might not be able to reach on time. I’ll be late for an hour.” There wouldn’t be an issue if he was only late for an hour. The ceremony would have ended by then and he would be just in time for lunch. As long as he showed up, it won’t be a problem. Only, the enigmatic Emily would definitely try to cause a scene, but no worries, Xyla could handle it. “What happened?” Xyla replied. In her mind, he was a punctual person, so something huge must have happened. “Emergency.” “Alright then.” Emily replied before putting down her phone and entering the bathroom. He did not tell her what the emergency was and was sensible enough not to ask. After showering, Xyla noticed that there was still time, so she lay in bed with a mask on before sitting down at the dressing table to put on her makeup. Her gaze inadvertently fel
”Don’t panic. I have an idea!” A stylist quickly took out a few pins from the makeup box and secured them on the back of Emily’s dress and her waist area. The dress immediately fitted. After that, she took the mopping veil on the dressing table and swiftly draped it over Emily’s head. The veil covered her face while the back portion fell onto the floor. The pin was white. With the veil to conceal it, it no longer seemed obvious. Emily started at her reflection in the mirror, surprised. “It’s so much better now.” Then, she turned around to look at her back. “Yeah… the pin doesn’t look obvious either.” However, when her gaze fell onto her dull face, Emily's smile froze once more. “Thank you. What is your name?” She glanced coldly at the stylist as she asked. “Fanny Mitchelle.” The girl smiled as she looked up slowly. Soon, a face with extra-thick makeup appeared in the mirror. She looked at Emily’s face in the mirror then back at her own. Fanny felt that the world was
Meanwhile, at the Victoria five-star hotel, the entire place was covered with red banners bearing the word ‘happiness’. Tiny red lanterns hung from the trees, and the place was high-spirited. All parking spots have been fully occupied by luxury cars and helicopters. It was like an exhibition for these vehicles. Because the Sullivan family had reserved the entire hotel, the outside was surrounded by security, and they wouldn’t let even a fly enter. Inside the largest and most extravagant Sky Ballroom on the top floor, the wedding aisle was nicely decorated. The aisle was made of pieces of tempered glass with white roses framed inside the glass. There were countless white rose lamps about a meter tall and white cotton clouds on either side of the aisle. Below the clouds were made beady light bulbs. When they lit up, the entire stage seemed like a large piece of romantic cloud. Many massive crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling, dazzling the whole place as if all the wonde
The message was just sent when the ballroom door was pushed open by two male waiters in suits. Following suit, Xyla could be seen lifting her dress as she walked in elegantly. Her curly ebony hair fell naturally on her shoulders. With just light makeup and pink lips, she was beautiful beyond comparison. The light pink chiffon dress accentuated her dazzling fair skin. Her collarbone was painted with shimmery highlights and made this already attractive feature of hers even more sensual. Paired with a tear-drop shaped diamond necklace that cost six digits, she seemed too dignified to be approached, too divine to be touched. As if one more look from an ordinary human was an insult to her. She had done nothing, but her presence easily attracted the gazes of everyone in the room. In an instant, everyone was blinded by her brilliance. The men who had been staring at Mary’s table were now all staring fixedly at Xyla, unblinking. This scene made Mary and the others extremely fru
Of course, Xyla could tell just how dirty the woman’s thoughts were under that pretentious shell of hers. She had been a full-fledged idiot back then to have donated her kidney to a person like this. Just then, the famous host of Altantis TV, Nelson Cole, got onto the runway and gave an extravagant opening remark. Immediately after, the wedding march song was played. Nelson quickly took a few steps back, leaving the center stage empty. Under everyone’s gaze, Tom Sullivan walked out onto the stage from behind wearing a white tuxedo. A second later, with Jeremy who was dressed in a suit at her arm, Emily went up to the stage. In an instant, the other lights were turned off, leaving only the aisle illuminated like a gorgeous fantasy. The LED screens placed on many different angles displayed every gaze and gesture of the newlyweds. While the lights were still dim, May lowered her head and quickly ran over to sit beside Xyla. After shooting a glare at Xyla, she cheerfull
The hatred she had for Xyla had once again reached a breaking point. However, she continued to feign indifference as she looked at the host enthusiastically. Even if she was sliced open and bleeding, she had to maintain her composure. Especially at an occasion like this where many people might be waiting for her to slip up, Emily Quest could never lose! Next, the host said a few more nice words. After that, the newlyweds exchanged rings. The ceremony was complete. It was time for the kiss. A gorgeous silver rain fell on the wide aisle. It was stunningly captivating and beautifully romantic. Everyone focused their gaze on this. Tom only kissed Emily out of courtesy. When Emily was about to lean further in, he had let her go. Emily, who was not done with the kiss, felt unsatisfied. When she was being detained, god knew how bad she had to suppress herself. She always had an addiction to something like this, and she needed it every day. Now that she was trying to
