As Angela gazed at the vibrant invitation card, a bitter chuckle escaped her lips, and her eyes brimmed with scorn.
After taking the invitation card, she tore it up the next second and tossed it into the nearby trash bin.
“Am I losing my mind, or are you?” she spat, her tone icy. “Asking me to be a bridesmaid, pretending it’s a celebration when it’s more like a funeral! If envy turns to bitterness and I lash out, what then?”
It sickened her that Fanny would invite her, the former fiancée, to stand beside her as a bridesmaid and paint herself as virtuous.
“Angela…” Fanny’s eyes reddened as she looked anxiously at Angela.
A touch of vulnerability flashed across her face.
“Angela, please don’t say such hurtful things!” Joseph stepped in front of Fanny and spoke softly to Angela. “This is a significant moment in Fanny’s life. She only has you as a sister. It’s natural for her to want you there. Let’s not give others a reason to mock us at such an important time.”
He thought Angela was just in a bad mood because her engagement was broken.
Fanny felt at a loss. She bowed her head and nodded silently.
Angela’s eyes hardened. “Aren’t I already a laughingstock? My fiancé was stolen, and now I have to pretend everything’s fine and offer my blessings.”
“What did I do to deserve such humiliation from you?”
“Get lost, Fanny! I don’t have a shameless sister like you. Stay away from me and spare me your disgust,” Angela’s tone was icy and filled with disdain.
She exuded a chilling aura, and her pale face reflected her gloom and coldness.
“What’s going on, Fanny, Angela?” Christopher’s anxious voice echoed from the doorway.
Angela looked up and saw Christopher striding toward them.
His gaze first fell on the torn invitation card on the ground; then, instinctively, he pulled Fanny into his arms.

“I wanted to invite Angela to our engagement banquet, but she tore the invitation.” Fanny’s delicate face showed a hint of helplessness and vulnerability. Finally, she hesitated before burying her tearful face in his embrace.
That fragile and beautiful appearance was enough to make anyone’s heart ache. Without saying a word, it made people feel that she must have been bullied by someone with deep scheming and jealous madness.
Christopher’s gaze, as he looked at Angela, mirrored a mix of disgust, hatred, and irrationality, a familiar sight to Angela.
Angela sneered, and her lips curled with disdain.
“Don’t pretend to be affectionate in front of me. You break off your engagement with me, then immediately jump into my sister’s arms. The Sanders Family has no shame, but I certainly do.”
“Are there no other girls left in Riverdon? Making your love rival your bridesmaid, you two are truly despicable. Lock yourselves away and spare others from your harm.”
Christopher Sanders‘ heart skipped a beat, a mixture of anger and guilt flooded him, and he felt a prickling sensation in his chest.
He couldn’t go against his grandfather’s wishes. He was engaged to Angela, but he hadn’t clarified things with her. It was his fault, but Fanny was innocent.
She was concerned about Angela’s reaction, which is why she kept silent and prioritized Angela’s feelings.
Fanny bit her lip and stepped out of Christopher’s embrace with tears welling up in her eyes. “Love can’t be forced. Before you returned, Christopher and I were childhood sweethearts.
