Christina found the dressing room and was about to enter when she heard a commotion from within

She swallowed the words of congratulations that almost escaped her lips.

Rence was dressed in a pristine white dress, yet the joy which a bride should have was absent from her face.

She glared at her father with resentment in her eyes. How could you bring that woman along when today is my

wedding day? Are you doing this to upset me on purpose?”

“How rude of you, Rence! She’s my girlfriend.” Edward’s expression was inexplicably indifferent

“Have you considered Mom’s feelings? Imagine how ashamed she’d feel when she sees you appear with a girlfriend

my age!” Rence was so exasperated that her eyes shone with unshed tears.

She could accept her parents’ separation after a divorce, but her father bringing another woman to such an

important occasion was off-limits.

The worst part was that her father’s girlfriend was also part of the entertainment industry. Renee was worried

about what her friends might think of her if they found out about such a scandalous affair.

“I didn’t want to bring her with me, but she insisted on tagging along. There’s nothing I can do about that.” Edward

carefully enunciated his words, not knowing how to explain.

“There are only two options. Either she gets lost, or you leave together with her. I have no desire to see her at my

wedding ceremony,” Renee announced with finality as she sat before the dressing table

Edward wanted to say something further, but upon seeing the stubborn look on his daughter’s face, he sighed and

left.

He met Christina’s gaze as soon as he stepped out of the doorway.

Realizing that their conversation was so loud that Christina had overheard everything, he sighed once more before

striding away.

Christina entered the dressing room, where Renee sat gloomily before the dressing table.

The latter heard footsteps and hurriedly collected herself, plastering a smile. “Christina, you’re here”

Christina was taken aback by how swiftly her mood changed. She had been raising her voice just a moment ago but

was now greeting Christina with an amicable smile.

As expected from an A-list actress. She’s capable of handling any situation with grace and finesse. Indeed, she’s

born to be a star in the entertainment industry.

“Your wedding venue is decorated stunningly! I’m sure everyone can’t wait to see what a gorgeous bride you’ll be.”

Christina approached Rence and carefully admired her glowing skin.

They chatted while Christina helped Rence change into her bridal gown and apply make-up that accentuated her

outstanding features. Finally, Rence wore her wedding veil with Christina’s help.

Rence was a natural beauty. Her high brow ridge gave her a regal air, while her delicate jawline added a touch of

feminine softness to her features. A dash of rouge was applied to her delicate lips to add a touch of color to her

complexion.

Her make-up was just completed when the host came to inform her, “Renee, we’re starting soon. Please come

outside and get ready.”

“All right.”

Rence got to her feet. At that moment, she was transformed into a magnificent bride.

“You go on ahead. I’ll clean up the dressing table,” said Christina as the host led Renee out.

She made her way out only after tidying the dressing table.

While passing by a balcony on one side of the corridor, she overheard a conversation.

“You should head back first. I’ll meet you at the hotel once the wedding ceremony ends,” Edward persuaded.

“Why are you so worried when I’m not? I wish to give your daughter my blessings on her wedding. too,” replied a

young woman with a meek and pitcous voice.

“She dislikes you. Your presence would only upset her and create unnecessary trouble.”

“I’m sure we’d have many common interests since were around the same age. How are you so sure we won’t get

along?”

Christina was not nosey, yet she couldn’t help pausing in her tracks when she heard the woman’s meek.

tone.

She craned her neck and saw that the young woman was wearing an extravagant gown and thick makeup.

It seemed like she was here to vie for attention instead of attending the banquet.

Christina immediately recognized her to be Olivia.

It turns out she’s referring to Renee’s wedding when she mentioned attending a friend’s wedding! What’s even

more surprising is that she’s in a relationship with Renee’s father! I can’t believe such an innocent-looking lady like

her is the mistress of a man several decades older than her!

“That’s enough. Please, just leave now.” Edward quickly turned to leave for he was afraid he might relent if he

lingered any longer.

Christina hurriedly hid in an inconspicuous corner to avoid running into Edward. It’d be extremely awkward if that

happened.

Only after his footsteps faded away did she emerge from her hiding spot.

The wedding ceremony had begun. Taking her seat among the guests, Christina gazed up at the stage and whipped

out her phone to record a video of her surroundings before pointing the camera at

herself.

She sent the video to Nathaniel once she was done.

The wedding photographer took advantage of the interval before the next segment commenced to invite the

guests to take a photo with the newly-wedded couple.

Christina sat aside and watched as many celebrities with charming features lined up to take a photo with the

couple. She was lucky to enjoy such a feast for the eyes just by sitting there.

Looking at the celebrities’ attire, she couldn’t shake off her professional habit and began sizing up their outfits.

The photographer turned in her direction shortly after and asked if he had left anyone out.

Christina had just stood up when she felt a warm hand gripping her wrist. “Let’s do it together.”

As soon as she raised her head, Francis’ well-sculptured features came into view. His lips curved upward to form a

charming smirk.

He pulled her forward, and they posed for the photo with Christina and Thomas between them.

“Say cheese,” said the photographer as he captured a shot of them.

At that moment, a slender woman made her way over It turned out to be Olivia, who was wearing a bright smile.

“Renee, why don’t we take a photo together?” she asked.

She was behaving amicably with Renee, and those who were oblivious to their relationship would definitely be

fooled to think they were close friends.

Renee’s face fell as she lowered her voice and hissed. Who said you were allowed here? Get lost.”

She stared daggers at Edward, who was seated at the main table.

I told him to get this woman to leave! Why is she still here?

“You’re the bride, so you shouldn’t get mad. I’ll leave after we take a photo. Don’t worry,” Olivia uttered. showing

no intention to leave as told while urging the photographer to take the picture.

Only the most influential individuals and celebrities were invited to the wedding ceremony. Olivia would gain clout if

a photo of her as one of the guests was posted online.

Thomas ushered Renee away when he saw that she was on the verge of losing her temper.

After all, it would be embarrassing if they made a scene in front of this many distinguished guests.

Unwilling to give up, Olivia was about to follow them when Christina intervened. “It’s Renee’s big day today, so

please don’t ruin it for her. Please leave.”

“Christina, you seem to be on friendly terms with Renee. Why don’t you act as the intermediary and help us get to

know each other better?” Olivia still hadn’t given up on following Rence.
