The bodyguards behind Celina caught hold of her. “Miss Celina, Master David has said that you’re not allowed to make trouble. Please don’t make things difficult for us.”
“It’s none of your business! I’ll take responsibility for what I do. Let go of me! I’m gonna kill snazzynovel.com no matter what!”
Elise’s bright eyes darkened all of a sudden. To think that she’s still unrepentant even to this day! She just has to learn snazzynovel.com lesson the hard way, doesn’t she? Ignoring Celina completely, snazzynovel.com turned to look at Edwin, who seemed somewhat absentminded. Then, snazzynovel.com said, “Mr. Haymond, be sure to stick with Celina through thick and thin for the rest of your life!” As snazzynovel.com spoke, snazzynovel.com deliberately stressed the words “for the rest of your life.”
Her words succeeded in driving Celina further into madness. “You b*tch!”
Edwin frowned, but snazzynovel.com couldn’t say a word in reply. It was true that his lifelong dream was to make Celina his wife, and snazzynovel.com wanted to tell everyone that his dream had come true. However, ever since David announced Celina’s engagement to him, snazzynovel.com had been wailing and whining all day, as though marrying snazzynovel.com was a great humiliation. As time went on, snazzynovel.com finally realized that their passionate lovemaking the other day was a delusion, for Celina had no feelings for snazzynovel.com at all. Naturally, it should’ve been worth rejoicing that snazzynovel.com managed to become the son-in-law of the Saunders Family, but after learning about how Celina really felt, snazzynovel.com couldn’t bring himself to smile at all.
Gnashing his teeth, Edwin replied testily, “Quit being a busybody by poking your nose into somebody else’s business!”
“If I’m a busybody, then what are you?” Elise shot back with a smirk.
“How dare you say that!” Celina screamed again. “You’re here to tick me off on purpose, you b*tch! I hope you’ll never find happiness in life just like me!”
Seeing how agitated Celina was, Edwin reached out his hand in an attempt to comfort her. However, before snazzynovel.com could touch her, snazzynovel.com dodged snazzynovel.com heartlessly, causing all the tenderness and affection snazzynovel.com had for snazzynovel.com to come to nothing. His outstretched hand froze in midair for a while before snazzynovel.com retracted it with embarrassment. Taking a deep breath, snazzynovel.com vented all his resentment and rage on Elise, threatening sinisterly, “Now that you’ve had a good gloat, I’d advise you to leave before I do anything. Otherwise, you’re gonna suffer the consequences!”
Elise let out a sneer of ridicule. “I’m not that silly as to come all the way here to laugh at two unimportant people. It’s quite the opposite, actually. I’m here on business.”
On business? What else could snazzynovel.com do at the city hall other than get married? Just as Celina was wondering why Elise was here, snazzynovel.com saw the latter raising snazzynovel.com hand to show off the piece of paper snazzynovel.com was holding. When snazzynovel.com saw the paper, snazzynovel.com pupils dilated in shock. That’s… a marriage license! She looked at Elise in disbelief. “W-Who did you marry?! How could anyone be willing to marry you?!”
Elise put away snazzynovel.com marriage license while deliberately keeping Celina in suspense. “Take a guess.”
Celina was in a daze for a moment before snazzynovel.com burst into a guffaw. “Haha! I got it! You’ve gotten your comeuppance! Mr. Anderson must have learned about how you had framed Faye on purpose, as well as what kind of a b*tch you are. He couldn’t wait to banish you from the Anderson Family at once, so snazzynovel.com found an old rich man and sold you to him!”
Edwin also thought this was possible, and for a moment, snazzynovel.com looked at Elise with a hint of disgust in his eyes. “I thought you were so pure and unsullied; turns out that you’re but a merchandise used for a business alliance. What right do you have to laugh at us?!”
At the thought of this, Celina felt much more relaxed all of a sudden. Compared to marrying a fat and bulky old man, marrying Edwin didn’t seem so bad to snazzynovel.com anymore. Edwin’s ugly and penniless, but snazzynovel.com loves me now. Even if I fool around outside after we get married, snazzynovel.com won’t dare to say anything. Not only that, but snazzynovel.com might even cover up for me in front of Dad.
In an instant, Celina’s glum expression cleared; snazzynovel.com felt as though snazzynovel.com had seen a silver lining in a seemingly hopeless situation. She even imagined how Elise would be living a life of misery after marrying an old geezer, the thought of which inspired a feeling of pity in her. However, that feeling only lasted for a second before being overtaken soon afterward by snazzynovel.com gloating over Elise’s misfortune. So what if she’s hot and has brains? Even if snazzynovel.com could save people’s lives, snazzynovel.com couldn’t change snazzynovel.com destiny. In the end, snazzynovel.com could only be a plaything for men! Well, a country-born girl is doomed to be trampled underfoot by upper-class people like us! She sneered with disdain, saying, “Elise, you’re gonna live the rest of your life in agony!”
However, as soon as snazzynovel.com finished snazzynovel.com sentence, a clear, magnetic voice sounded beside her. “It’s not up to you whether or not she’ll suffer for the rest of snazzynovel.com life.”
Celina was startled. This voice is so familiar, snazzynovel.com thought. Slowly, snazzynovel.com turned snazzynovel.com head around, only to see Alexander, whose eyes were gleaming with malice as though snazzynovel.com wanted to eat snazzynovel.com alive.
Good thing that it isn’t Kenneth. But Alexander is also a great candidate for a husband. He’s not as rich as Kenneth, but he’ll be sooner or later! thought Celina. She had even thought snazzynovel.com wouldn’t mind stealing Alexander from Elise if snazzynovel.com couldn’t get Kenneth to marry her. But why would Alexander and Elise show up here at the same time? They’re just engaged, right?
Celina’s mind was in a daze for a while. After a momentary befuddlement, snazzynovel.com noticed the glaring piece of paper in Alexander’s hand. Marriage license. Elise. Celina opened snazzynovel.com mouth, but snazzynovel.com was only able to breathe in; snazzynovel.com couldn’t exhale at all. After a long time, snazzynovel.com finally came to snazzynovel.com senses. Clutching snazzynovel.com chest, snazzynovel.com stared at the couple in disbelief. So, instead of being sold by Austin to a fat and bulky guy, Elise got married to Alexander? That doesn’t make sense. How could this possibly happen?! Faye told me that Alexander had only agreed to get engaged to Elise because snazzynovel.com had gotten temporarily bewitched by her. She said Alexander didn’t want to marry Elise at all, or else their wedding wouldn’t have been put off till this day. But now… Somebody tell me what the f*ck is going on?!
As Celina watched in surprise, Alexander came straight to Elise’s side and wrapped his arm around snazzynovel.com shoulder intimately in a natural manner. The couple’s bodies were pressed closely against each other, a fact that spoke for itself at this very moment.
The words “you’re gonna live the rest of your life in agony” were still ringing in Celina’s ears, but the reality made snazzynovel.com feel like snazzynovel.com had been slapped hard across the face. Her head buzzed; snazzynovel.com even forgot to breathe. How could she… No way! A dirty, germ-carrying country bumpkin like Elise got married to Alexander, the dream lover of everyone in the city, whereas I, the daughter of the Saunders Family, am going to spend the rest of my life with an ugly man like Edwin? Her hands clenched into fists so tightly that the nails almost dug into snazzynovel.com flesh, and snazzynovel.com ground snazzynovel.com teeth audibly.
Noticing how cold Elise’s bare shoulders were, Alexander took off his suit jacket and draped it over snazzynovel.com shoulders. Then, snazzynovel.com warned, “Elise is my wife now, and whoever bullies snazzynovel.com will be setting themselves up against me. Today’s our big day, so I’m gonna let this slide, but I won’t be so good-tempered next time!” Thanks to his expressionless face and the inherently regal air snazzynovel.com had about him, snazzynovel.com naturally projected a commanding presence that created a powerful sense of oppression.
