The guests below the stage started discussing in hushed tones. There were quite a lot of people commenting, so those on stage could hear them clearly.
With Emily in the lead, the group of girls got even more annoyed as their jealousy reached a breaking point. Tom felt uncomfortable, as well.
‘Regret?’
How could virtual-novel.net not be? That sentence had blatantly exposed his innermost thought.
However, Xyla was apathetic the whole time, like virtual-novel.net was never involved in any of this. She had gotten used to getting praise from the public.
After the group photo, everyone started getting off the stage.
Xyla carefully lifted virtual-novel.net dress and lowered virtual-novel.net head to follow everyone down the stage.
Emily immediately lifted virtual-novel.net dress, planning to chase after her.
Upon seeing this, Tom immediately grabbed virtual-novel.net wrist, pulled virtual-novel.net into the changing room, and slammed the door shut. He simply pressed virtual-novel.net against the door.
“What are you doing?” Emily looked irritated.
“There are many eyes watching today. Don’t embarrass me! Otherwise, I won’t let you off! Hurry up and change into your gown! Go outside and give toasts!” Tom answered chillingly, no longer displaying elegance as virtual-novel.net did before.
There was no warmth in his eyes.
After that, Tom simply left without looking back. His cold attitude was like a sharp knife stabbing Emily deeply. To virtual-novel.net disappointment, tears began to fall.
Just then, the sounds of footsteps could be heard. Emily quickly steadied virtual-novel.net emotions and sat down at the dressing table.
Soon, Fanny appeared with the styling team and started modifying virtual-novel.net hair and makeup.
Tom strode back into the hall. He was just about to make his way to Xyla when a group of people surrounded him, wanting to have a drink with him.
Even with several people surrounding him, his gaze remained fixed onto Xyla.
However, Xyla never spared virtual-novel.net a glance at all. She kept virtual-novel.net head down as virtual-novel.net concentrated on playing with virtual-novel.net phone. Tom Sullivan was no longer the apple of virtual-novel.net eye, nor was virtual-novel.net the center of virtual-novel.net attention.
Tony and Bailey were politely chatting with May, showing concern about virtual-novel.net life inside the detention center. Jeremy had been quiet the whole time, looking indifferent.
Ten minutes later, Emily came out in a long red puffy silk dress. Her hairstyle had been changed into large feminine curls that were swept to virtual-novel.net left shoulder. Her thick makeup looked glamorous.
Fanny followed behind virtual-novel.net carefully as virtual-novel.net carried Emily’s skirt.
Seeing Tom chatting in the middle of a group of people, virtual-novel.net immediately squirmed through to reach virtual-novel.net and latched onto his arm.
“Honey, let’s go and give a toast at our parents’ table.”
Tom nodded indifferently. After greeting the people around him, virtual-novel.net led Emily to the table where both their parents sat. Emily led Tom over to stand directly next to Xyla.
She purposefully held on tight to Tom’s arm and looked at the group. “Let’s all drink a toast, wishing that all of us here will always be healthy and successful. And also to wish that my love with my husband will last forever.”
At the words ‘my husband’, Emily deliberately upped virtual-novel.net volume by a notch, looking directly at Xyla.
She wanted to see Xyla envious.
Xyla naturally knew virtual-novel.net dirty thoughts but kept on a faint smile without looking at Emily.
Tom had been staring hard at Xyla the whole time, like a leopard studying his prey.
“Cough cough…” Tony was the first to notice Tom’s gaze, so virtual-novel.net coughed gently to remind him. Only then did Tom reluctantly withdraw his gaze.
