The wedding scene was very simple, with only about thirty seats, all filled with Julian Sterling’s friends.
The wedding was outdoors, and everyone seed absent-minded, everything appearing quite casual.
Eleanor Hollis sat on the chair, feeling sorry for Gloria Galloway, who married herself off in such a simple setting.
In fact, Julian Sterling also felt the scene was a bit too simple, but Gloria had told him early on that she didn’t want anything elaborate, just a few friends in private, so he could only follow her wishes.
The whole event lasted barely an hour.
The more Eleanor Hollis watched, the more frustrated she felt, to the point she didn’t even want to attend the final dinner, but seeing Gloria’s resolute face, her heart ached slightly.
Samantha Sullivan also attended the wedding today, staying with Eleanor the entire ti to avoid Evan Yancy.
But as soon as she sat down, she felt a burning gaze on her, lifting her head to et Evan’s eyes.
She was startled, quickly lowering her head, and placed her hand on her belly.
Carrying another man’s child, seeing the man she loved, she felt ashad.
Evan Yancy’s gaze lingered on her for just a mont before shifting elsewhere, as if she was a stranger.
Samantha was relieved but inexplicably a bit disappointed.
After the wedding, she grabbed Eleanor’s sleeve, quickly following her.
"We’ve already reserved a dining spot at the hotel. Samantha, let’s head there next."
Samantha’s pregnancy was starting to show; anyone who wasn’t blind could tell.
Eleanor, afraid she couldn’t keep up with the group, stayed behind, carefully supporting her.
Samantha nodded, just feeling a wave of nausea in her stomach, suddenly not wanting to go to the dinner, fearing she wouldn’t be able to eat anything.
"Eleanor, I want to go back, my stomach feels a bit uncomfortable."
She had been staying with Eleanor during this ti, as there were plenty of empty rooms in the villa.
Eleanor saw her pale face and hurriedly nodded, sending her in the car.
As the car door closed, she took Samantha’s hand.
"You really don’t want to see Evan, do you, Samantha? Are you sure you want to keep this child?"
Eleanor felt so sympathy for Evan, but the decision was solely in Samantha’s hands.
Samantha’s eyes imdiately reddened. Pregnant won’s feelings are sensitive, and the slightest thing can make them cry. She hadn’t been having an easy ti recently; whenever she closed her eyes, Evan’s face would appear.
When they first fell in love, like countless other couples, they were extrely happy.
Who would have thought that those who swore to be together back then would end up this way?
"Eleanor, it’s not just about the child between us, I already figured it out. Evan deserves soone better, soone like who is indecisive doesn’t suit him."
Eleanor said nothing, instructing the driver to speed up.
After dropping Samantha at ho, she still had to rush to the hotel.
But as soon as she reached the villa, she received a call from Marcus saying that a pretty lady was causing trouble at the scene and had slapped Gloria.
She didn’t need to guess who the troublemaker was.
Eleanor was furious and imdiately rushed over.
The scene was chaotic, with all the tables overturned on the ground. Gloria’s cheek was red, her lips pursed as she stood before Julian, saying nothing.
Yvette Jacobs, full of anger, clutched Julian’s hand, tears glistening in her eyes.
"Julian, are you really going to abandon ? After waiting for for so many years, are you really going to marry this woman?"
As soon as Eleanor entered, she heard Yvette’s words, making her scalp tingle with anger.
She strode forward, slapping Yvette’s face before anyone could react, feeling unsatisfied, she continued slapping the other side.
"Yvette Jacobs! I’ve never seen such a shaless woman as you! You’re the one who made Gloria take the bla, you told her you’d leave Julian! So why are you now pretending to be the victim? The only victim here is Gloria, I’m telling you, if you show up in front of Gloria again, I’ll make sure you disappear from Serenford completely!"
Yvette was stunned by the slaps, her cheeks quickly swelling.
Tears stread down her face as she looked towards Julian. This man didn’t even attempt to intervene, even though she had been struck, he remained indifferent.
"Julian..."
She spoke pitifully, shaking Julian’s hand slightly.
Julian said nothing, his expression dark.
Eleanor was furious, her face red with anger. Gloria was slapped in front of so many people, and Julian didn’t say a word. This man was truly cowardly!
"Yvette, get out, you’re not welco here!"
Eleanor pointed at Yvette’s nose, wanting to slap her face a few more tis. This woman’s skin was so thick; she even dared to co make a scene at the hotel.
Yvette bit her lip, genuinely a bit intimidated by Eleanor. This woman was the wife of Grandeur’s CEO, silencing her would be as easy as lifting a finger.
"Eleanor, don’t be too excessive."
She looked innocent, nearly biting her teeth out of anger.
"I’m excessive? Miss Jacobs, do you really think every man likes won who court disaster like you? Apart from Julian, no one here likes you. Why would you run here to disgrace yourself? And you’re soone in the entertainnt industry, you should know the consequences of offending high society, right? You can’t handle anyone here, yet today you still dared to cause trouble at the hotel, who gave you the courage?"
After Eleanor’s words, Yvette imdiately glanced around, realizing many were indeed high society elites.
Moreover, the gazes from the elites were hostile, as if ready to tear her apart.
She shrank back a bit, genuinely feeling afraid. Before she ca, she hadn’t considered anything else, only wanting to win Julian back, to have him continue working for her, but now, she clearly left a bad impression on everyone’s minds.
She pressed her lips together, remaining silent, her eyes seeking help from Julian.
Julian, however, didn’t look at her. His hand tightly held onto Gloria, squeezing her hand painfully, but she didn’t utter a word, keeping her head lowered silently.
Yvette, feeling a bit hopeless, closed her eyes. Sotis she really didn’t understand what this man was thinking. That night he had kissed her proactively, yet now seeing her bullied, he said nothing.
She tugged her lips, feeling sowhat resentful.
"Julian, if I leave today, I won’t co back to bother you again, you have to think carefully, do you really want to marry this woman?"
Julian’s eyes flickered for a mont, he suddenly lifted his head, staring directly at her.
"Yvette, I told you the sa thing then, once I marry Gloria, there is no more relation between us. You’re the one who pushed away first."
