I hung the call, feeling pity for Sharon. Lyle was a reckless man who did not care about others’ opinions. All he cared about was his own happiness. He only married Crystal to anger me.
Is marriage nothing but child’s play to them?
If possible, I only wanted to marry once and love one man until the end of my life.
As Christopher had an important meeting in the morning, he did not have time to choose a gown with me. He ordered Sabrina and Zachary to accompany me instead. I was amused by how seriously he was treating this.
After laying out a bunch of luxurious gowns in front of me, Sabrina told me to pick the most beautiful one that suited me best. Exasperated, I said, “There’s no need to be so dramatic, right? I’m attending someone else’s wedding, not mine.”
She slammed the table and pointed at the gowns. “Listen to me, Yvonne. Pick a gown that suits you. You must try everything without leaving a single one out. I’ve hired a designer to choose your outfit and a make-up artist for you. You must make a grand entrance at the wedding and stun everyone with your beauty!”
Scratching my head, I replied helplessly, “I’m there to attend the wedding, not to ruin it.” I already have a notorious name. There would definitely be journalists present at Crystal’s wedding, so if I dressed up too extravagantly, they might write something out of context.
“Shouldn’t I keep a low profile now? Everyone already hates me so much, yet you’re trying to make me stand out even more. The entire nation will know me and I’ll be even more famous than the top celebrities.”
“Keep a low profile? No way! You already said that everyone hates you, so people will still notice you even if you keep a low profile. Change your clothes now! Don’t forget who the bride is. Since it’s Crystal’s wedding, you better outdo her and let everyone see how beautiful you are. That way, you can avenge me too.”
Sabrina stroked her flat stomach and spat furiously, “When I see Crystal’s annoying face, I wish for nothing more than to slap her. Only then will my anger dissipate.”
