A lot of guests had gathered around because of the commotion. “It’s such a turbulent journey! The trio wouldn’t stop making a fuss since day one! Why can’t they keep everything until the party’s over?”
“I can’t believe they have the audacity to start a fight in front of us! Are they trying to challenge the Lane family’s authority?”
“Are you guys blind or something?” Sabrina yelled at the gossipmongers and strode her way over to my side. Standing next to me, she asserted, “I wouldn’t have left you alone if I was aware of someone’s presence!”
Shaking my head, I reassured Sabrina, “It’s fine!”
Out of the blue, Lyle yelled, “I want you to apologize!”
I rebuked with a scowl, “Ha! Lyle, may I know if you’re confronting me as my husband or as Crystal’s dearest darling? Why are you defending an outsider when your wife needs you as much as the woman next to you?”
“Lyle, you need to stop picking a fight with Yvonne because I was the one at fault in the first place. If only I could suppress the affection I have for you and refrain from making the trip back to visit you! B-Boohoo!” Once again, Crystal started wailing halfway through her sentence.
The onlookers engaged themselves in another round of heated discussion, but I couldn’t care less since I had gotten used to it.
“Oh? What’s everyone doing here instead of enjoying themselves in the hall? Is there anything interesting here?” Christopher finally showed up when I had long caught him standing at the entrance of the banquet hall with a frown.
As the onlookers greeted Christopher in a courteous manner, Christopher nodded in return. He strode over with his hands tucked in his pockets. Standing in the middle of the crowd, after he took a peek at Crystal, he glanced at me and asked in a callous tone, “What’s wrong with Ms. Yates? Has she gotten herself involved in another fight?”
