The woman sneered when she saw how uncooperative Sally was being. “I just asked you to introduce him. What’s there to hide?“Are you scared we’re going to take him away from you?” The woman began laughing as she spoke, “Oh, Sally Summers. You were always a shy ugly duckling in high school. Your fashion has improved now, but why hasn’t your unconfident personality changed one bit?” The other women at the table laughed when they heard what the woman said. Everyone stared at Elijah carefully. “Her boyfriend is so handsome. Of course, Sal would be scared of us staring at him.” “She would have to spend the rest of her life alone if we snatched such a handsome man away from her!” “Yeah, that’s right!” The women began going overboard with their words, and some even loudly asked Elijah for his number. It was just like how her classmates had never once regarded Sally’s existence back then. Sally frowned, her pleasant mood at seeing her high school best friend getting married sour

Everyone on the second floor began whispering to one another. Maybachs were one of the most luxurious cars ever! In this town, few people had even seen a Maybach before, let alone driven one! While everyone was looking around for the rich owner of the Maybach, Elijah stared grudgingly at Sally and said, “I told you not to buy me a car when I have such lousy skills, but you refused to listen. “I’ll go move the car.” The man stood and walked off when he finished speaking. Sally stayed at the table to field off the impending storm. The guests at the table looked like they had been struck by lightning. One of her male classmates said in a low voice, “Maybachs are not cheap.” “I didn’t know Sally is so rich now. There’s no way of telling if you just looked at her.” The women who had been teasing Elijah for being poor now had ugly expressions on their faces. Their faces were pale as they lowered their heads to take a sip of tea. The chubby man and other men were more

“Really?” The man smiled at Sally. “Maybe I’m overthinking things.” “After all, I only got to be with you after fighting against so many other amazing men. I’m scared.”Sally, “...” She wished she were dreaming...The remaining minutes were spent in nervousness. However, she did not remain nervous for long because the wedding ceremony had started. “Dun dun dun dun--” The lights in the room dimmed as the wedding march began playing. The groom wore a suit and stood at the altar with a bouquet in his hands as he watched the bride walk down the aisle with her father.When Sally saw the groom’s face… she nearly dropped her cup onto the floor. Because the groom… did not look the greatest. He did not look scary, but he had a long face and thin eyes… Each feature looked alright, but when combined… It was not scary, but it was uglier than everyone else present. “Can’t believe Felix is as ugly as ever even after all these years.” Someone at the table began laughing. “P

Tears welled in Rebecca’s eyes as she stared at him. Pursing her lips, she turned to look at Felix. “I’m sorry…” Felix stumbled and nearly fell. Thankfully, the emcee caught him just in time. Then, she turned back around and looked at Luis. “I…” “I am.” At that moment, Sally could see that Rebecca’s eyes fill with a desire for love and life. Compared to the bride who had looked like a walking zombie just now, Rebecca looked like an actual human now that she was planning to run away from her wedding. “Alright.” Luis smiled as he grabbed Rebecca’s hand. They jumped down from the stage and dashed through the crowd before hurriedly leaving the venue. The wedding erupted into chaos. Sally stared in shock in the direction that Luis and Rebecca had left. Had they… escaped that easily? It was a wedding… One had to remember that the venue was filled with Felix and Rebecca’s friends and relatives as well as the hotel’s security. If everyone contributed just a little,

The living room fell silent again when the woman finished speaking. A second later, Felix picked his cup up and took a sip from it. “Rebecca’s mother got involved in a car crash last month. She became comatose while the driver at fault died on the spot.” “Her family was unable to afford her mother’s medical fees. Shanice got in contact with me and asked if I would be able to help.” “Of course I could help. So, I paid all the bills and also paid for an additional ten years of care.” “I’ve made some small accomplishments in my business. Thus, I was still able to afford the fees although they were not cheap.” “Rebecca felt very apologetic and decided to marry me when Shanice told her I’ve had a crush on her all this while.” “I know she was still in love with Luis. She wouldn’t be happy getting married to me because she doesn’t like me.” Then, he laughed a self-deprecating laugh. “But I still had a sliver of hope in me. What if, just what if, she liked me back?” “What if sh
