Awakened Housewife Ignore Betrayer's Begs (Scarlett) novel Chapter 883

Though he had hesitated earlier, Vincent seemed to make up his mind right then and there.

Standing nearby, the emcee broke into a cold sweat as the bride failed to appear.

Looking over at Vincent, he found Vincent staring right back at him.

Reaching out his hand, Vincent commanded coolly, "Give me the mic."

The emcee handed over the microphone instantly and stepped off the stage.

Holding the mic, Vincent swept his icy gaze across the guests below, announcing, "Everyone, consider today's meal my treat for a reunion banquet—there won't be any ceremony, so enjoy the food and drinks."

In just a few brief sentences, he brushed away Sabrina's absence entirely.

Below the stage, Amanda gasped in total shock, "Vincent, what on earth are you doing?"

Handing the mic back to the emcee, Vincent ignored Amanda and walked off the stage.

Vanessa had no idea what Vincent meant, but she felt in her gut that something was horribly wrong.

Seeing Vincent walk off the stage, she called out frantically, "Daddy!"

Vincent heard her call, yet paid zero attention, walking straight out of the reception hall.

Watching Vincent leave without so much as a backward glance, a sharp blade seemed to slice through Vanessa's chest.

Yet she swallowed the agonizing pain whole.

She turned her head toward Scarlett, whose eyes happened to glance back at her at that exact moment.

As their eyes met, the grievance bottled up in Vanessa's heart burst wide open.

Her eyes flushed red as tears trickled down her cheeks.

Whispering under her breath, she whimpered, "Mommy..."

Yet Scarlett merely spared her a fleeting look before snapping her gaze away.

Her faint cry for "Mommy" was instantly drowned out by the noisy chatter in the hall.

Sobbing uncontrollably, Vanessa drifted toward Scarlett step by step, as if her legs had a mind of their own.

Right as she drew close to Scarlett's back, Maria rushed back inside from the corridor.

The second she walked in, she grabbed Vanessa's hand firmly, "Come with me."
