”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
The guests below the stage started discussing in hushed tones. There were quite a lot of people commenting, so those on stage could hear them clearly. With Emily in the lead, the group of girls got even more annoyed as their jealousy reached a breaking point. Tom felt uncomfortable, as well. Regret? How could he not be? That sentence had blatantly exposed his innermost thought. However, Xyla was apathetic the whole time, like she was never involved in any of this. She had gotten used to getting praise from the public. After the group photo, everyone started getting off the stage. Xyla carefully lifted her dress and lowered her head to follow everyone down the stage. Emily immediately lifted her dress, planning to chase after her. Upon seeing this, Tom immediately grabbed her wrist, pulled her into the changing room, and slammed the door shut. He simply pressed her against the door. “What are you doing?” Emily looked irritated. “There are many eyes watching today
After that, the group stood up together to toast with the newlyweds. Emily had first held her glass to Jeremy. Yet, before her glass had touched his, Jeremy immediately retrieved his glass and finished his wine with a dark expression. After that, everyone else lifted their heads and finished their wine. Emily was not surprised by her father’s reaction. It was already good enough that he was willing to cooperate and attend today’s wedding to maintain the Quest family and Sullivan family image. Hence, she did not expect him to be friendly toward her at all. She knew full well that she and her mother still had a huge battle to fight after this. Emily put her glass down but showed no intention of leaving immediately. She turned to Xyla and asked, “Sister, where is my brother-in-law? Didn’t you say he would attend my wedding with you?” “Xyla, I wanted to ask you as well. Why isn’t your husband here?” Jeremy asked. Although he seemed unbothered, he was actually annoyed that the
Suddenly, the whole world had decided that Xyla Quest’s husband was an ugly man. “What a pity. It’s like a fresh flower on cow dung.” “I always assumed that someone like Xyla Quest would definitely marry an elite, wealthy, and handsome man.” “Tsk tsk tsk, I heard that her husband is so ugly that he’s not presentable. He even has an insignificant status! Tsk tsk tsk… Is Xyla’s brain alright? Why does she have to defile herself this way?” “What’s the use of having better looks than Emily? Her husband isn’t as good as Emily’s, and it’s really a pity.” Many people started pointing fingers at Xyla. Even if they have toned it down a lot, Xyla could still see them clearly. In an instant, she felt like she was a clown who had simply thrown her life away in the crowd’s eye. However, Xyla remained unfazed. She looked down at the time quietly as if the people around her were transparent. Although half an hour had passed since the appointed time, she was not worried that he would
