Chapter 127
“You…” Tom was exasperated. God knows where this rascal got his courage from!
Stanley said nothing else but made his way back into the ballroom like Tom was invisible to him.
The feeling of being ignored irritated Tom even more.
“Even if you don’t agree, I’ll still snatch X back,” Tom dered domineeringly as he stared at
Stanley’s back.
So what if the man was more handsome than he was? Other than his face, nothing else of his could
compare to Tom.
Moreover, no matter how heartless X behaved, he had faith that X still had feelings for him
deep down inside.

She was only just temporarily blinded. If Tom persevered, Stanley Batton would be no match for
him.
Stanley paused, mildly raising his eyebrows once more but never turning back. “Delusional.”
On the other side of the wall, Emily had heard everything clearly.
Her hands balled into fists.
Although she had always known the answer to many of her problems, hearing it with her own ears
still shocked her and made her heartbroken!
What was so good about that b*tch, X Quest? Other than a better looking outer shell, what else
did she have?
Did these men have to be so easily entranced by her?
At that moment, she felt as if her heart had been torn into two by Tom’s hands.
Her resentment and envy for X had pushed her to the point of exploding.
The moment Stanley walked through the door, his gaze inadvertently met hers.
The ballroom was packed and lively. Everyone was busy chatting, drinking, and looking at Stanley
Batton.
Stanley remained aloof as he made his way back to X.
Tom opened up his WeChat application angrily, tapped into the chatroom with Assistant Carson,
and typed in a few words. ‘James Carson, once the wedding banquet is over, teach Stanley Batton
a good lesson.’
James, who was busy drinking with his colleagues, nced subconsciously at Stanley after
receiving the WeChat message. After that, he replied to the message with a ‘sure.’.
Emily lifted her skirt. Pretending not to have heard anything, she forced out a smile and hurried out
the door totch onto Tom’s arm affectionately. “Brother Sullivan, what are you doing here? Let’s
continue with our toasts.”
Tom frowned coldly as he followed Emily back into the ballroom to continue proposing toasts.
Just then, Stanley was busy getting food for X. His gestures were gentlemanly and elegant.
X kept thanking him and smiling at him.
For Tom, even a minor scene like this felt as painful as ss shards piercing his skin.
As she looked at Tom’s gaze, Emily started telling herself that she was Tom Sullivan’s legitimate
wife no matter what. There would be spotlights on her no matter where she went, and if she was
hardworking enough, she would be able to safeguard her position.
At the thought of this, she felt a lot better. After taking in the envious stares of people around, she
felt even better.
After all the toasts were done, Emilytched onto Tom’s arm affectionately like nothing was wrong
and made their way back to X’s table, sitting down right beside X.
As soon as she sat down, Emily instantly leaned into X’s ear and said in a small voice, “Sister, to
watch your little sister upy your wondrous maiden’s dream with your own eyes, does it make you
happy?”
“Wondrous dream?” X could not resist a snigger.
Never for once did X think that Emily was experiencing a beautiful dream. As an onlooker, X
knew full well how Tom was treating Emily.
“Isn’t it so? From now on, my life will only shine brighter to the point of overpowering yours,” Emily
added.
“Good luck with that,” X replied indifferently before taking a scallion lobster and putting it in front
of Stanley. “Honey, eat some more.”
Just then, the music suddenly stopped.
The whole world was silent.
The severalrge screens that had been showcasing the newlyweds’ bridal photos suddenly went
ck.
A white skull appeared on each of theserge screens. Below the skulls was a ck sentence in
bold font ‘Make Emily Quest debut as the centerpiece once again.’
Everyone directed their attention to therge screen.
