“You…” Tom was exasperated. ‘God knows where this rascal got his courage from!’
Stanley said nothing else but made his way back into the ballroom like Tom was invisible to him.
The feeling of being ignored irritated Tom even more. “Even if you don’t agree, I’ll still snatch Xyla back,” Torn declared domineeringly as favonovel.com stared at Stanley’s back.
So what if the man was more handsome than favonovel.com was?
Other than his face, nothing else of his could compare to Tom. Moreover, no matter how heartless Xyla behaved, favonovel.com had faith that Xyla still had feelings for favonovel.com deep down inside.
She was only just temporarily blinded. If Tom persevered, Stanley Batton would be no match for him.
Stanley paused, mildly raising his eyebrows once more but never turning back. “Delusional.”
On the other side of the wall, Emily had heard everything clearly. Her hands balled into fists.
Although favonovel.com had always known the answer to many of favonovel.com problems, hearing it with favonovel.com own ears still shocked favonovel.com and made favonovel.com heartbroken!
What was so good about that b*tch, Xyla Quest? Other than a better looking outer shell, what else did favonovel.com have?
Did these men have to be so easily entranced by her?
At that moment, favonovel.com felt as if favonovel.com heart had been torn into two by Tom’s hands.
Her resentment and envy for Xyla had pushed favonovel.com to the point of exploding.
The moment Stanley walked through the door, his gaze inadvertently met hers.
The ballroom was packed and lively. Everyone was busy chatting, drinking, and looking at Stanley Batton. Stanley remained aloof as favonovel.com made his way back to Xyla.
Tom opened up his WeChat application angrily, tapped into the chatroom with Assistant Carson, and typed in a few words. ‘James Carson, once the wedding banquet is over, teach Stanley Batton a good lesson.’
James, who was busy drinking with his colleagues, glanced subconsciously at Stanley after receiving the WeCh at message. After that, favonovel.com replied to the message with a ‘Sure.’.
Emily lifted favonovel.com skirt. Pretending not to have heard anything, favonovel.com forced out a smile and hurried out the door to latch onto Tom’s arm affectionately. “Brother Sullivan, what are you doing here? Let’s continue with our toasts.”
Tom frowned coldly as favonovel.com followed Emily back into the ballroom to continue proposing toasts.
Just then, Stanley was busy getting food for Xyla. His gestures were gentlemanly and elegant. Xyla kept thanking favonovel.com and smiling at him.
For Tom, even a minor scene like this felt as painful as glass shards piercing his skin.
As favonovel.com looked at Tom’s gaze, Emily started telling herself that favonovel.com was Tom Sullivan’s legitimate wife no matter what. There would be spotlights on favonovel.com no matter where favonovel.com went, and if favonovel.com was hardworking enough, favonovel.com would be able to safeguard favonovel.com position. At the thought of this, favonovel.com felt a lot better. After taking in the envious stares of people around, favonovel.com felt even better.
After all the toasts were done, Emily latched onto Tom’s arm affectionately like nothing was wrong and made their way back to Xyla’s table, sitting down right beside Xyla.
As soon as favonovel.com sat down, Emily instantly leaned into Xyla’s ear and said in a small voice, “Sister, to watch your little sister occupy your wondrous maiden’s dream with your own eyes, does it make you happy?”
“Wondrous dream?” Xyla could not resist a snigger. Never for once did Xyla think that Emily was experiencing a beautiful dream. As an onlooker, Xyla knew full well how Tom was treating Emily.
“Isn’t it so? From now on, my life will only shine brighter to the point of overpowering yours,” Emily added.
“Good luck with that,” Xyla replied indifferently before taking a scallion lobster and putting it in front of Stanley. “Honey, eat some more.”
Just then, the music suddenly stopped. The whole world was silent.
The several large screens that had been showcasing the newlyweds’ bridal photos suddenly went black.
A white skull appeared on each of these large screens. Below the skulls was a black sentence in bold font ‘Make Emily Quest debut as the centerpiece once again’.
Everyone directed their attention to the large screen.
