Chapter 272

“You… you animal!”
Mrs. Winters, enraged, lunged to hit Zebulon, but he shoved her, and she fell to the ground.
“You dare hit my mother!” Rebecca charged at Zebulon, ready to bite him.
Seeing this, Mrs. Sullivan pulled Rebecca back and slapped her across the face.
“Do you still want this wedding or not?”
“You-your whole family is bullying me!” Rebecca stamped her feet and burst into tears.
Mrs. Winters struggled to her feet and hugged Rebecca. “You blame everything on my daughter, but your son is the one who cheated on his girlfriend, and you two are the ones who helped him lie about it! Your entire Sullivan family are animals in human skin! You’ve never done a decent thing in your lives!”
“You—you say that again!” Mr. Sullivan raised his hand to strike Mrs. Winters.
“You hit me, and I’ll go out there right now and tell everyone about all the disgusting things you’ve done! The Winters family are nobodies; we’re not afraid of losing face. You Sullivans had better not be either!”
“You… you shrew!”
“I’m a shrew, and your family is a pack of animals worse than pigs and dogs!” The two sides hurled insults at each other while the guests watched, stunned.
The bridesmaids and groomsmen who were in on the secret quickly filled in their friends, who then told their friends, and soon the entire hall knew about the Sullivan family’s dirty laundry.
“The Sullivan family looks so respectable on the outside, but they’re rotten to the core.”
“Ha, we’d never do business with people like that.”
Penelope held back her laughter and gave a thumbs-up to Timothy, who had arranged the broadcast. He gave her a cocky shrug and slipped away.
After a furious argument, both sides eventually calmed down. Rebecca and her mother didn’t want to lose this marriage, and the Sullivans didn’t want to lose face so they all composed themselves and O re-emerged from the dressing room. Cóntent
The screen was dark now, and they had no idea what had happened, but they could feel that the atmosphere was off. The guests were looking at them with expressions of mockery and amusement.
While both families were confused, the emcee urged them to continue with the ceremony.
Mr. Sullivan told them not to waste any more time while he went to find out what had happened.
The wedding ceremony officially began. As maid of honor, Penelope followed behind Rebecca, who had composed herself but still had red, swollen eyes, as they walked onto the stage. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on.net
The lengthy ceremony was trying for
both families, and Zebulon was especially impatient. He told the
emcee to cut the rest of the
program and just get to the ring
exchange so they could finish.
Rebecca forced a smile, but in her mind, Penelope was the cause of all her misery
today. Fortunately, she had a plan for revenge.
“Penelope, why don’t you walk in front,” Rebecca said, pulling Penelope to her side and pushing her ahead.
Penelope smiled knowingly. “Of course.”
She moved to the front. After just two steps, she felt Rebecca step on the hem of her dress.
She acted as if she hadn’t noticed and kept walking. When that didn’t work, Rebecca tried again.
Still nothing.
Rebecca was getting confused and anxious. The next time, she stomped on the dress with both feet.
Penelope let out a small “oops” and then gave her skirt a sharp tug.
Rebecca lost her balance and pitched forward, landing with a loud thud on the floor.
She had fallen to her knees, right in front of Penelope.
