    I shrugged Lyle’s hand off mine and strode in the direction of the entrance. The moment I opened the


    door, I saw Zachary smoking next to the balcony. As confused as I was, I couldn’t be bothered by his


    presence.


    After greeting the man with a simple nod, I was about to leave, but Lyle stopped me and asked, “Where


    are you going?”


    “I’ll head over to somewhere I won’t be discriminated!” I replied with my teeth clenched because Sharon


    was the sole reason I had chosen not to file for divorce with that shameless man.


    He frowned and said, “Dad will be mad at you if you leave unannounced.”


    After much considerations, I changed my mind and decided to stay as it would be too much of a hassle


    to deal with Nathan.


    Lyle then showed me the way back to the hall and had me join him in greeting his friends. I forced a


    smile and yed along with him, being the dutiful wife as I should.


    When we heard the crowd gasping, we turned around and looked in the direction of themotion.


    Upon a glimpse, I saw Wendy walking down the stairs with Crystal. They seemed to be having a great


    time as they beamed in satisfaction, behaving as though Crystal was the rightful daughter-inw of the


    Smith family.


    Wendy had always wanted Crystal to be her daughter-inw. When Lyle and Crystal were still in a


    rtionship, Wendy would show up at our ce just to meet Crystal in person.


    I guess she’s never fond of me because I’m not as exceptional as Crystal. After all, Crystal is the Tanner


    family’s sweetheart and a famous artist. Meanwhile, I’m just a talentless finance graduate.


    Lyle shrugged me off the moment he saw Crystal in her best fit. He must be charmed by the woman who


    seemed like a princess who had just stepped out of a fictional world in her white tulle dress.


    Since she’s the one you have a thing for, why have you asked me to stay? Do you enjoy watching me


    suffer in silence? Albeit unreluctantly, I had to greet Wendy since she was around. Otherwise, the


    gossipmongers would spread rumors the moment they saw me ignoring my mother-inw.


    I forced a smile and greeted, “Mom.”


    Wendy, who seemed to be having the best time of her life, pulled a face when she saw me. Once she


    sized me up, she started reprimanding me, “What the heck is wrong with this dress of yours? Can’t you


    put on something else that’s not as revealing? You’re embarrassing me!”


    The mother and son duo had been picking on my dress over and over again. In fact, they talked about


    the same thing. Unwilling to carry on with the fight, I went dead silent.


    I couldn’t believe she had the guts to pick on me for putting on something fashionable when she once


    picked on me for being a country bumpkin because of the color of my dress.


    Well, she just needed something to justify her actions. Over the past two years, I had been groveling


    myself at her mercy and carried out every instruction of hers.


    As always, I gave in to Wendy’s instruction again. While I was on my way to get her a ss of wine, I


    saw Christopher and Zachary from afar. The duo was engaged in a conversation.


    Simrly, they turned around because they noticed someone had their eyes glued to them. The moment


    we exchanged nces, I sprinted in the other direction as I was afraid Christopher would approach me


    and cause me unnecessary trouble. Others might think that something was going on between us.
