Chapter 5
The next day. I got up early to wash and have the makeup artist do my hair and makeup.
After changing into my wedding dress, I looked at the radiant woman in the mirror and suddenly realized how exceptional I was–yet I’d buried myself in the mud.
The moment Ryan pushed through the door, amazement flashed in his eyes as he blurted out:
“Dorothy, you, you’re absolutely stunning
Jessilia followed him in, and when she saw me, jealousy and hatred flickered in her eyes before she spoke hesitantly:
“Sister uses top makeup artists and wears such an expensive wedding dress–of course she’s the most beautiful! I’m so ashamed of myself. I don’t have the face to stand beside sister.“]
Ryan immediately pulled Jessilia into his arms to comfort her:
jessilis, you don’t need to feel ashamed. In my heart, you’re the most beautiful girl. Today you’ll definitely be the most gorg
Then he shouted at my makeup artist: “Come here Do Jessilia’s makeup and hair right now
Ryan also glanced at me with sarcasm
gorgeous bride.”
“If you dare bully Jessilia for being alone or deliberately make her look ugly, you won’t get a cent of pay today! My Jessilia must be the most beautiful. bride!”
The makeup artists exchanged glances and looked at me, clearly conflicted.
I laughed softly and said: “It’s fine. Use all your skills to make Jessie beautiful. If you satisfy Young Master Shelton, I’ll pay you double.”
I fixed Ryan with a sharp stare
Ryan immediately nodded:
“Don’t worry, as long as you do a satisfactory job and make Jessilia the most beautiful bride, I’ll pay you double.”
Hearing this, everyone happily got to work
These were top international makeup artists I’d hired, charging fifty thousand per session. Double would be a hundred thousand
Five people meant five hundred thousand–not much for Ryan and me.
Sure enough, with money as motivation, wearing the three–hundred–million–dollar diamond–encrusted wedding dress, Jessilia was completely transformed, looking like a fairy as she gazed at Ryan with shy pride
Ryan’s eyes went wide as he grabbed her hand:[]
al
“Jessilas, I knew it you’re the most beautiful girl. You really are a fairy descended from heaven.”
He took her arm, smiling as he said
“Let’s go, my most beautiful bride.”
The two walked out together, Ryan completely forgetting that I was supposed to be his legally wedded bride today
the wedding car, Ryan had already settled in the back seat with Jessilia. He rolled down the window and said coldly:
“Dorothy, it’s bad luck to have two brides in one car. You take the car behind.“]
With that, he snapped the window shut
I chuckled softly and got into the following wedding car.
- at.
At the hotel entrance, Ryan was already standing with Jessilia, greeting guests]
Seeing me, he immediately scolded:
“Dorothy, I knew you’d cause trouble today. Why isn’t bride Jessilia’s name on the welcome sign? Do you want to get married today
1 walked over calmly and instructed the officiant to change the sign immediately, adding Jessilia’s name as bride
Only then did Ryan’s expression soften. Just as he was about to speak, he noticed the pure gold, noble orb lying in the gift box held by my servant.
His anger flared again.||
“Dorothy, are you trying to upstage Jessilia today? What’s the meaning of bringing this orb? Are you representing yourself as a crowned quoon, claiming to be above Jossilia?”
Jessilia’s eyes also reddened:[]
“Sister, I know my status is humble, but you don’t need to show off like this! You’re making things difficult for Ryan. People will gossip about him,
aying we receive different treatment and that he looks down on my orphan background.”
Seeing the beauty in tears, Ryan’s heart ached. He immediately grabbed my servant and tried to forcibly take the orb
“Give it to Jessilia! You’re so old yet still so vain.“[
I quickly hugged the orb’s gift box, blocking Ryan]
This orb was the taken of love Luciano had sent me overnight–the British Queen’s coronation treasure.]|
Seeing that I dared refuse, Ryan grabbed my wedding veil and threw me
w me to the ground with force:[]
“Dorothy Lario, since you’ve entered the Shelton family, you’ll obey me! Today I’m teaching you your place.”
He stepped on my back and gripped my shoulders, trying to snatch the orb from my arms.]
I might not care about other things, but this was different. If that woman touched it, both Luciano and I would be disgusted forever.]
I pushed against Ryan with all my strength, refusing to let him take it.
In our struggle, Ryan actually grabbed my hair and yanked hard. Instant pain thot through my scalp as several strands were torn out and disgustedly thrown to the ground
Seeing him about to rip my hair again, I turned my head and hat his arm
Ryan immediately yelped and slapped my face, then stomped on my chest.]
I clutched my chest in pain, curling up on the ground.
Ryan snatched the orb and walked to Jessil with the gift box:[]
“Should we given it to Jessilia from the start instead of making such an ugly scene! Really lacking in manners.”
He gently placed the orb in Jessalia’s palin.[]
As guests arrived and saw me disheveled on the ground, they hurried to help me up[]
My father arrived in the car behind and saw my messy hair and swollen cheek. He immediately wanted to settle accounts with Ryan.]]
1 shook my head and held him back
After all this preparation, this was the moment I’d been waiting for.
I was going to make sure he could never recover.
