The guests below the stage started discussing in hushed tones. There were quite a lot of people commenting, so those on stage could hear them clearly.
With Emily in the lead, the group of girls got even more annoyed as their jealousy reached a breaking point. Tom felt uncomfortable, as well.
‘Regret?’
How could snazzynovel.com not be? That sentence had blatantly exposed his innermost thought.
However, Xyla was apathetic the whole time, like snazzynovel.com was never involved in any of this. She had gotten used to getting praise from the public.
After the group photo, everyone started getting off the stage.
Xyla carefully lifted snazzynovel.com dress and lowered snazzynovel.com head to follow everyone down the stage.
Emily immediately lifted snazzynovel.com dress, planning to chase after her.
Upon seeing this, Tom immediately grabbed snazzynovel.com wrist, pulled snazzynovel.com into the changing room, and slammed the door shut. He simply pressed snazzynovel.com against the door.
“What are you doing?” Emily looked irritated.
“There are many eyes watching today. Don’t embarrass me! Otherwise, I won’t let you off! Hurry up and change into your gown! Go outside and give toasts!” Tom answered chillingly, no longer displaying elegance as snazzynovel.com did before.
There was no warmth in his eyes.
After that, Tom simply left without looking back. His cold attitude was like a sharp knife stabbing Emily deeply. To snazzynovel.com disappointment, tears began to fall.
Just then, the sounds of footsteps could be heard. Emily quickly steadied snazzynovel.com emotions and sat down at the dressing table.
Soon, Fanny appeared with the styling team and started modifying snazzynovel.com hair and makeup.
Tom strode back into the hall. He was just about to make his way to Xyla when a group of people surrounded him, wanting to have a drink with him.
Even with several people surrounding him, his gaze remained fixed onto Xyla.
However, Xyla never spared snazzynovel.com a glance at all. She kept snazzynovel.com head down as snazzynovel.com concentrated on playing with snazzynovel.com phone. Tom Sullivan was no longer the apple of snazzynovel.com eye, nor was snazzynovel.com the center of snazzynovel.com attention.
Tony and Bailey were politely chatting with May, showing concern about snazzynovel.com life inside the detention center. Jeremy had been quiet the whole time, looking indifferent.
Ten minutes later, Emily came out in a long red puffy silk dress. Her hairstyle had been changed into large feminine curls that were swept to snazzynovel.com left shoulder. Her thick makeup looked glamorous.
Fanny followed behind snazzynovel.com carefully as snazzynovel.com carried Emily’s skirt.
Seeing Tom chatting in the middle of a group of people, snazzynovel.com immediately squirmed through to reach snazzynovel.com and latched onto his arm.
“Honey, let’s go and give a toast at our parents’ table.”
Tom nodded indifferently. After greeting the people around him, snazzynovel.com led Emily to the table where both their parents sat. Emily led Tom over to stand directly next to Xyla.
She purposefully held on tight to Tom’s arm and looked at the group. “Let’s all drink a toast, wishing that all of us here will always be healthy and successful. And also to wish that my love with my husband will last forever.”
At the words ‘my husband’, Emily deliberately upped snazzynovel.com volume by a notch, looking directly at Xyla.
She wanted to see Xyla envious.
Xyla naturally knew snazzynovel.com dirty thoughts but kept on a faint smile without looking at Emily.
Tom had been staring hard at Xyla the whole time, like a leopard studying his prey.
“Cough cough…” Tony was the first to notice Tom’s gaze, so snazzynovel.com coughed gently to remind him. Only then did Tom reluctantly withdraw his gaze.
