Chapter 235

Emma and I walked from the hotel to a nearby night market since she mentioned that she was hungryand craved some barbecue. When I sat down, I saw that she was ordering a lot of food. "Can we evenfinish these?" I asked in confusion. Emma and I walked from the hotel to a nearby night market since she mentioned that she was hungryand craved some barbecue. When I sat down, I saw that she was ordering a lot of food. "Can we evenfinish these?" I asked in confusion.

"Call May and ask her to come over. She is quite the drinker. Let's get wasted tonight," she replied,facing her back against me.

"I distinctly remember that someone is a lightweight," I teased.

She grumbled, saying, "How dare you underestimate me."

I smiled and said nothing. Then, I took out my phone and sent a message to May, and she quicklyreplied. 'Sorry, Rudy is here,' she wrote.

I looked at my screen in disbelief. I never pegged Rudy as the clingy type. After all, he had gone afterMay just as she arrived at Goldshore.

Suddenly, I missed Shawn. It had been a while since we last saw each other, and it was difficult notbeing able to see him for so long.

The instant I thought about him, I sent him a goodnight text. Then, when he didn't reply, I sent him

another text. 'Are you asleep, Sunny?'

After a moment, he replied. 'Hmm?'

When I saw his message, I realized that his text was him asking 'What's wrong' in his style. He couldn'teven be bothered to text me a simple greeting.

So, I ignored him with a slight huff. At the same time, Emma was done ordering the food and sat besideme. I swept my gaze across the beer before her and warned, "Don't get drunk. Otherwise, I won't beable to carry you back to the hotel. All I can do is call Christopher and ask him to bring you back. Whenthat time comes, I can't assure you what will happen next."

Despite my warning, she didn't back down and stared right back at me. "Christopher is a gentleman. Ifsomething were to happen between us, it would have happened long ago! He's old-fashioned. I have iton good money that he won't do anything unless that person is his wife. What do you take him for?"

I noticed a hidden meaning in her words and became intrigued as I probed, "Does that mean you wishthat something would happen?"

Emma rolled her eyes at me and snarked, "Did I say anything like that?"

"It seems like you are sending me such a signal," I said sincerely.

"You are such a dirty old pervert, Renee."

Her words stumped me, and I began to wonder if I had gotten old.

I couldn't help but feel as though I was stabbed by the word 'old'. However, Emma quickly comfortedme when she saw shock and hurt and said, "I'm just kidding. You are still as young as ever."

"You sure are a sweet talker."

As we were chatting, the screen of her phone that was on the table suddenly lit up. At that moment, Isaw a person nicknamed "Harasser" send her a message. 'See you later, Emma.' It wrote.

Harasser…

"Is that Christopher?" I asked.

"He has been harassing me all the time. Did he think that I'm some child and will believe that everytime we meet is out of coincidence?"

"Why are you still playing along, then?"

It seemed like I had hit the bullseye as her eyes flashed with a hint of something.

Ultimately, she didn't get drunk, but she was staggering when we left the establishment. After I helpedher back to her room, I went next door to replace Olivia. After I knocked on the door, she opened the doorand said, "I have already explained things to Will, Renee. So, there wouldn't be any misunderstandingbetween us since he knows the truth."

"And what is it?" I asked hesitantly.

Olivia bit the bottom of her lip and explained softly, "He slept with me, but he was drunk that night. Ididn't have the chance to explain it to him yet, and I was going to tell him tomorrow."

When I heard her words, I realized that she was planning to give William a surprise, but I ruined thingswith my blabbermouth.

"I'm sorry, Olivia," I said guiltily.

"I know that you mean well, and you want me to be happy." She suddenly embraced me and continued,"I never imagined that I would be the first to get married among us. After all, I was so obsessed withChris, but now… Renee, I found William. I'm willing to spend the rest of my life with him."

…

I woke up bright and early the following day. At the same time, Olivia's mother arrived from town. Shewas startled when she laid her eyes on me. "Renee."

"Mrs. Parker." I greeted her.

"Thank you," She said warmly as she nodded her head.

I gave her a small smile in response. Soon, Olivia appeared before us when she was done changinginto her wedding dress.

There were several people in the room. Suddenly, someone recognized me and pointed at me rudelyas she barked, "Aren't you Renee, the one who went viral on the Internet? How can you be Olivia'sbridesmaid when you have gotten a divorce?"

The woman was right. How could I be someone's bridesmaid when I was divorced? I had thoughtabout it before, and Olivia knew about it too. Yet, she still chose to invite me, and I was happy to oblige.I never expected someone to bring this to light so rudely!

Since it was Olivia's wedding day, I kept quiet and didn't want to argue with the woman. Nevertheless,Olivia was upset on my behalf. Hence, she put down the lipstick with a soft thud and said coldly,"Renee had indeed gotten a divorce, but she is now single. Why can't she be my bridesmaid?"

"It's unlucky," the woman stubbornly commented.

"She's my bridesmaid, and it's my wedding. Besides, it's the 21st century. So, who gives a whit aboutsome dumb superstition?" Olivia retorted firmly.

"Don't you dare think you can look down on us just because you're wealthy! I'm going to tell Aunt. Justyou wait!"

When I heard the woman's complaints, I quickly realized she was a relative of William's family.

After the woman had stormed off, I comforted Olivia and said, "She's right. I'm divorced and not asuitable candidate to be your bridesmaid." I was afraid the Olsons would give her a hard time,especially after the wedding.

Alas, Olivia refused to back down as she said hotly, "I want you to be my bridesmaid, and no one canmake me say otherwise!"

I didn't know what to say in response. I was touched that she would go this far for me, but also

increasingly concerned for her well-being.

When it was almost noon, William arrived to pick Olivia up. His groomsmen were his colleagues andfriends. Everyone had a good time and wanted him to introduce the bridesmaids to them. Regardless,William knew that May and I were already in a relationship, so he quickly told them to quit it.

When we arrived at the wedding ceremony, some relatives from the Olson family insisted on changingthe bridesmaid, saying that I was unlucky since I had gotten a divorce. William initially refused to listenand tried to smooth things over. But, as time passed, he slowly became agitated and frustrated afternoticing that they were being an absolute nuisance. On the other hand, Olivia had taken her veil off asshe regarded the Olson Family's relatives coldly.

I knew right then that my presence had regrettably caused her grief.

Therefore, I tugged on her arm and persuaded her gently, "They are William's relatives. I understandtheir concerns, so I won't be your bridesmaid. Don't worry. I will still stick by your side until the end ofthe wedding."

When Olivia heard my words, her eyes reddened, and she croaked, "Renee."

I understood that she felt aggrieved on my behalf.

"This is the man you want to marry, Olivia. So, chin up and wipe those tears. Let's get on with thewedding." I smiled.

To my surprise, she threw away the flowers in her hands and said to William's relatives, "If Renee can'tbe my bridesmaid, then I'm not getting married today!"

William was taken aback by her outburst, but his expression darkened because he knew the reasonbehind her anger. So, he glared at the Olsons and mocked, "Are you guys satisfied now?"

"William, you can't allow them to do whatever they want because their family backgrounds are moreinfluential than ours. You have to let them know that we are not someone to be messed with either."

Just when people started squabbling, a stern voice resonated in the room. "This should be a weddingthat both parties are happy about. Yet, people like you decided to ruin it due to your greed! Olivia doeshave an outstanding family, but she has only ever treated all of you with courtesy. All she wanted wasfor Ms. Felix to be her bridesmaid just because Ms. Felix was someone important to her. This is herwedding, so why can't she choose her bridesmaid? I'm making my opinion on this crystal clear. I agreewith Olivia on this one. There are still twenty minutes before the wedding starts. After that, whether ornot there will be a wedding will be up to you." Christopher had defended me.

He had always stood up to me at crucial moments.

When the Olsons heard Christopher's words, their expression turned nasty. To be honest, William'sparents and grandparents agreed for me to become the bridesmaid. Unfortunately, the Olsons were alarge brood with many relatives. Naturally, many opposed this idea. Most of them were elders thatcouldn't bear to watch William's family reach better heights. William frankly didn't want anything to dowith them, but they had insisted on causing a stir. Since they were his elders, he also couldn't doanything about it without being lambasted for being a disrespectful brat.

Suddenly, a fleet of cars arrived at the venue. Each of them was a brand-new Rolls-Royce andPorsches. There were various bright colors, and none were as simple as black and white.

When everyone saw the vehicles, they were dumbfounded.

"Who invited them?"

Someone, who appeared to be their leader, left the car and stood before us. The instant I recognizedthat person, I wanted to avoid him at all costs. But, to my immense dismay, he caught sight of me, tookoff his sunglasses
