Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 645

Chapter 645 Amazing Acting Skills

The wedding was naturally a grand event since a daughter of the Clintons was getting married. Titans of every industry and those from distinguished families were all invited. In fact, the Clintons were the official hosts of the wedding banquet. Even though the Walker family had their objections, they had no choice but to swallow them in the face of the Clintons’ pressure.

Due to the fact that the Clintons were the main organizers, Stephanie asserted her authority by ordering the Walkers around. Her domineering behavior naturally caused much angst among them. In spite of that, no one dared to challenge her out of respect for the Clintons, causing her to smugly believe that all of them feared her.

When Stephanie was called away by the makeup artist to freshen up her makeup, Rachel wrinkled her pointy nose and whispered, “Mom, Stephanie is behaving in such an overbearing manner that it’s just immensely rude. Is she really fit to be a daughter-in-law of the Walker family? Considering Noah’s gentle character, wouldn’t he be bullied by that shrew after getting married?”

Isabella threw Rachel a contemptuous glance. All this while, she never had a good opinion of the latter and felt that Rachel was of no use to the Walker family. In fact, pretending to be demure was the only thing Rachel knew. In spite of that, the Walker family treasured her and protected her from the outside world. Being overprotective as if she was an innocent fool made Isabella quick to temper.

“Rachel, don’t forget that Stephanie is your future sister-in-law. How can you still be gossiping about her when she’s about to be married into the family? Don’t you want your brother to be happily married and have children? Even though Noah dotes on you, can’t you be less selfish for once?” Isabella sneered with her arms folded.

Infuriated, Rachel turned red in anger.

“Isabella, I just want the best for Noah too. I hope that he can marry a kind woman that actually loves him,” Rachel commented.

Snorting in response, Isabella doubted the sincerity of her sister’s words. Is she playing the victim card again? What a useless person she is, and no different from a coward.

Carol’s expression darkened. “Isabella, stop reprimanding your sister, for she is just concerned for the family. Stephanie has indeed gone overboard today, and I will need to put her in her place when she marries into our family. If she doesn’t know how to show any respect, how is she going to help Noah run the company?”

Isabella’s eyes flashed with disdain. Stephanie only knows how to enjoy herself and is clueless when it comes to doing work. In fact, given how spendthrift she is, she would definitely kick up a fuss when she realizes that the Walker family isn’t as rich as she thought. When the drama begins, I wouldn’t mind adding fuel to fire. By escalating the turmoil within the Walker family, I will have more opportunities to see Oscar. Mom, Dad, it’s every woman for herself, so please don’t blame me for my methods.

Meanwhile, Carol had no idea what was going through Isabella’s mind, as she was praying hard that the wedding would proceed without incident.

“Isabella, have you taken care of Noah’s girl? Make sure she doesn’t appear and cause any trouble,” Carol reminded with a frown.

Squirming her lips, she replied, “Mom, you know how much Noah doesn’t like me interacting with her, as if I would skin her alive. Instead, Rachel enjoys a better relationship with her, so why don’t you ask Rachel instead?”

Carol turned to Rachel and asked, “Rachel, do you know where Noah has hidden her?”

Rachel shook her head and replied, “It’s been a long time since I saw her, and I have no idea where Noah has settled her too.”

A grim expression descended upon Carol’s face. “Rachel, remember, Stephanie is your future sister-in-law. Therefore, you have to mind your speech to avoid unnecessary conflict. Even though we spoil you, you should still learn how to behave sensibly, all right?”

Rachel too wasn’t someone easy to read. Despite her easy going demeanor, she definitely wasn’t as naive as an ordinary girl. After all, she had been raised in a rich and prominent family.

Therefore, no one else but her knew what was truly going on in her mind.

“I understand, Mom,” Rachel replied obediently.

Isabella snorted as scorn flashed in her eyes.

The moment the wedding began, Carol adjusted her hair and instructed, “Let’s head out now. Since we’re the hosts today, we cannot allow the Clintons to steal the show.”

Isabella and Rachel nodded in unison.

The moment the trio stepped out, they saw the entire floor filled with guests. The men were in sharp suits and leather shoes, while the ladies were dressed to the nines in their gowns. With heavy makeup on, all of them simply looked stunning.

Meanwhile, Stephanie was wearing a white wedding dress as she held Noah’s hand. Together, they were chatting happily with the guests alongside Olivia and Owen.
