As Angela gazed at the vibrant invitation card, a bitter chuckle escaped her lips,
and her eyes brimmed with scorn.
After taking the invitation card, she tore it up the next second and tossed it into
the nearby trash bin.
“Am I losing my mind, or are you?” she spat, her tone icy. “Asking me to be a
bridesmaid, pretending it's a celebration when it's more like a funeral! If envy
turns to bitterness and I lash out, what then?”
It sickened her that Fanny would invite her, the former fiancée, to stand beside
her as a bridesmaid and paint herself as virtuous.
“Angela...” Fanny's eyes reddened as she looked anxiously at Angela.
A touch of vulnerability flashed across her face.
“Angela, please don't say such hurtful things!” Joseph stepped in front of Fanny
and spoke softly to Angela. “This is a significant moment in Fanny's life. She only
has you as a sister. It's natural for her to want you there. Let's not give others a
reason to mock us at such an important time.”
He thought Angela was just in a bad mood because her engagement was
broken.
Fanny felt at a loss. She bowed her head and nodded silently.
Angela's eyes hardened. “Aren't I already a laughingstock? My fiancé was stolen,
and now I have to pretend everything's fine and offer my blessings.”
“What did I do to deserve such humiliation from you?”
“Get lost, Fanny! I don't have a shameless sister like you. Stay away from me
and spare me your disgust,” Angela's tone was icy and filled with disdain.
She exuded a chilling aura, and her pale face reflected her gloom and coldness.
“What's going on, Fanny, Angela?” Christopher's anxious voice echoed from the
doorway.
Angela looked up and saw Christopher striding toward them.
His gaze first fell on the torn invitation card on the ground; then, instinctively, he
pulled Fanny into his arms.

“What's wrong?”

“I wanted to invite Angela to our engagement banquet, but she tore the
invitation.” Fanny's delicate face showed a hint of helplessness and vulnerability.
Finally, she hesitated before burying her tearful face in his embrace.
That fragile and beautiful appearance was enough to make anyone's heart ache.
Without saying a word, it made people feel that she must have been bullied by
someone with deep scheming and jealous madness.
Christopher's gaze, as he looked at Angela, mirrored a mix of disgust, hatred,
and irrationality, a familiar sight to Angela.
Angela sneered, and her lips curled with disdain.
“Don't pretend to be affectionate in front of me. You break off your engagement
with me, then immediately jump into my sister's arms. The Sanders Family has
no shame, but I certainly do.”
“Are there no other girls left in Riverdon? Making your love rival your bridesmaid,
you two are truly despicable. Lock yourselves away and spare others from your
harm.”
Christopher Sanders* heart skipped a beat, a mixture of anger and guilt flooded
him, and he felt a prickling sensation in his chest.
He couldn't go against his grandfather's wishes. He was engaged to Angela, but
he hadn't clarified things with her. It was his fault, but Fanny was innocent.
She was concerned about Angela's reaction, which is why she kept silent and
prioritized Angela's feelings.
Fanny bit her lip and stepped out of Christopher's embrace with tears welling up
in her eyes. “Love can't be forced. Before you returned, Christopher and I were
childhood sweethearts.
“I know this engagement was meant for you. At the time, I genuinely wanted to
wish you. both well. I held back my feelings for him.
“I didn’t want to hurt you either, but once love takes hold, it can't be denied. I
can't live without him. Even Old Mr. Sanders now approves. Angela, please, I beg
you, forgive us, okay?"
Fanny's tears broke Christopher's heart.
Angela looked at them coldly. “Do you think you're so noble that your emotions
can make all three of us cry? Why are both of you so despicable? Do you need
to use me as a stepping

stone to make your supposed beautiful love appear tragic?”

She threw off the covers, endured the pain, and stood up. Upon picking up the
trash can containing the shattered invitation cards, she hurled it at Christopher.
“If you ever speak the truth to me again, Angela declared boldly, “I'd rather
befriend a dog than associate with you, Christopher!”
The nurse rushed forward to support Angela, who, now bolstered, continued with
even more determination, “If you want my blessings, wait until you're both dead.”
Christopher, struck by a trash can, was visibly pale. He attempted to defend
himself but found himself at a loss for words.
The nurse, equally incensed, couldn't comprehend the audacity of this family.
“In the old days, a girl like her, shamelessly stealing her sister's fiancé, would've
been tossed into a pigpen.”
“Being a third wheel and still strutting around in front of everyone, how
shameless and malicious.” The nurse couldn't contain her anger and turned to
Christopher. “Hmm, young man, you clearly lack discernment in women. You're
also a coward and not even as good as the uneducated men in my family.”
With that, she helped Angela sit down, then forcefully pushed the two of them out
and instructed the bodyguards not to let them back in.
They couldn't afford to delay Angela's recovery.
In the room, only Joseph remained.
“Angela... you don’t seem like yourself right now,” he remarked.

Angela paused, a soft chuckle escaping her lips. “Joseph, do you think I should
just swallow my pride and be Fanny's bridesmaid? But does it really matter? I'm
practically invisible in the Kins Family. Will anyone even notice me?”
“Fanny is content with her victories over me,” she added bitterly.
Joseph furrowed his brows and looked at Angela. “You're overthinking this,
Angela. Fanny means no harm.”

“Even if there's no malicious intent, am I supposed to accept it?” Angela's gaze
suddenly turned cold, and weariness filled her heart. “Joseph, just go. I'm tired
and need some rest,”
Joseph moved his mouth, but in the end, he didn't say anything.
But as soon as he stepped out of the door and saw the person standing at the
entrance, he paused and frowned. “Zacharias, why are you here?”

Seeing Zacharias struggling with his cough, Joseph furrowed his brow even

After a moment of silence, Joseph spoke. “Christopher's heart belongs to Fanny
now, and he’s set to join the Kins Family. We gave Angela a chance, but if she
can’t win his love, it's only fair for Fanny to take her place.”
“But suggesting Fanny to have Angela as a bridesmaid is too much!” Zacharias
protested.
