It was not only Dane. The Snyders on the side also had unpleasant looks on their faces.
Mable smiled brightly. “Did I disappoint you?”
Marissa could not help but feel a chill run down her spine as she looked at the smiling Mable.
Agnes faced the wedding guests and said, “Hello, everyone. I’m Agnes, the eldest grandchild of the Jeffersons. I was schemed against two years ago and became injured. I don’t know who spread the rumors saying I was dead.
“Now that I’m back, I just want to tell everyone that the only heir of the Jeffersons is still alive.”
Frank stared at Agnes with the ghastly face while gritting his teeth.
If Agnes was not dead, his hope of becoming the Jeffersons’ heir was gone!
He took a deep breath to suppress his shock and anger before standing up with a fake expression.
“Aggie, it’s great that you’re alive. You have no idea how deeply saddened I was by the news of your passing two years ago. It’s great that you’re back safely now!”
‘Those trash from Shark! They didn’t get her killed even after receiving so much money from me!’
Mable looked at him askance. “Is that so? I didn’t know you were so concerned about me.”
“You’re my niece. Of course, I care about you. Today is a big day for Riss and Dane, though. So let’s talk when we get home.”
He could not let Agnes ruin Riss and Dane’s wedding.
“Uncle Frank, we can talk about family matters when we’re home. As for other matters…”
Mable brushed away Frank’s hand and casually glanced at Marissa and Dane. Marissa’s heart thumped, and she gripped the hem of her skirt hard.
‘Agnes, you b*tch!
‘You must’ve come to snatch Dane away.
‘Dane is mine. I won’t let anyone snatch him away!’
“Agnes, I’m sorry. I know you and Dane were engaged, but we all thought you had passed away these past two years… Dane has fallen in love with me, and I, too, love him very much. Please give us your blessings.”
