Chapter 120
After that, the group stood up together to toast with the newlyweds. Emily had first held her ss to
Jeremy.
Yet, before her ss had touched his, Jeremy immediately retrieved his ss and finished his wine
with a dark expression.
After that, everyone else lifted their heads and finished their wine.
Emily was not surprised by her father’s reaction. It was already good enough that he was willing to
cooperate and attend today’s wedding to maintain the Quest family and Sullivan family image.
Hence, she did not expect him to be friendly toward her at all.
She knew full well that she and her mother still had a huge battle to fight after this.
Emily put her ss down but showed no intention of leaving immediately. She turned to X and
asked, “Sister, where is my brother-inw? Didn’t you say he would attend my wedding with you?”
“X, I wanted to ask you as well. Why isn’t your husband here?” Jeremy asked. Although he
seemed unbothered, he was actually annoyed that the man did not show.
He felt that the man was inappropriate! That he did not show any manners!

“As my brother-inw, isn’t it inappropriate for him to not attend my wedding? Isn’t he a little rude?
Are you afraid that he would embarrass you? That’s why you didn’t bring him along?”
Emily’s words were harsh. She never intended to leave X with any respect. She now further
affirmed her assumptions that X’s husband was ugly and had no status; otherwise, X would
have brought him along.
“I think it must be thetter, isn’t it? Sister X is afraid of being embarrassed so… she simply didn’t
bring him along, right?” Maryughed as she spoke with an ignorant look on her face.
Even with the elders of both families here, Mary did not look at all concerned.
Just then, Emily’s aunt and uncle both came over hand in hand.
Before X could speak, Emily’s aunt ced her hand on the backrest of the chair and said, “X,
I’m not trying to lecture you, but this ugly son-inw has to meet his parents-inw eventually.”
“A wife must follow after her husband. Now that you’ve married him, you can’tin… not even
if his status is insignificant,” the aunt said sincerely with an expression as if she was the morally
correct one.
She had even deliberately raised her voice, hoping that others would hear her.
With her loud voice, she immediately attracted the attention of more than ten tables nearby.
Everyone started whispering into each others’ ears as they discussed how possibly ugly X’s
husband was.
As May had previouslymitted a crime, she kept a low profile now, only watching quietly as her
little brother and sister-inw vent her grievances on her behalf.
This was something she and Emily had deliberately arranged after seeing that X’s husband was
absent.
Her sister-inw was not only loud, but she was also brave. Using her as a tool to air out X’s dirty
laundry to make the girl lose her reputation in the upper-ss society was most suitable.
As X listened to the whispers around her, and Emily and her aunt’s insults, she felt even more
ufortable. She was smiling on the outside but fuming on the inside.
“My husband ran into somest-minute emergency and will be here soon. You’ll be able to meet him
then,” said X softly before she lowered her head and elegantly ate the white swan cake in front of
her.
“Didn’t you say earlier that your husband will be here in an hour? What happened then? It’s already
past an hour and fifteen minutes, so where is he? I don’t think your words are reliable at all…” Mary
added.
Tom immediately shot Mary a re.
However, Mary ignored himpletely and made a face at him.
“That’s enough, don’t go overboard… Stop this now,” Jeremy said coldly.
“How is this going overboard? I think we’re all right. Uncle Quest, aren’t you angry? The man X
found isn’t presentable at all,” Mary continued.
By then, rumors had started spreading around the ballroom.
