Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

Unexpectedly, she was very calm. She expected herself to be angry or for her heart to twist in pain, but it was as if she was completely numb.

Though it was a very soft sound, it was like a bomb dropping. In an instant, the whole banquet hall seemed to have quieted down, before the gasps of praise came one after another. "Wow! Who is this? What a beautiful woman!"

"Eh? Is she looking at the groom? Is she an old flame or a mistress?"

"How sudden? I haven't heard from Kylie that she has a boyfriend before. Looks like we've got a show coming! She looks so elegant. I wonder which family she is from?"

"There's no sign of anything happening yet. Why so excited over drama?"

She deliberately raised her voice.

"I'm so happy to see you! You came out of 'prison' in advance. Why didn't you tell us so that we could pick you up? You see, we had no idea, so we didn't send you an invitation card!"

With that, another uproar arose in an instant. At once, those eyes that were filled with astonishment turned fearful, like they had just seen a ghost. She could also sense that crowd had started distancing themselves. Feeling hurt, Lauren's face darkened. Just as she was about to say something, Kylie interrupted her.
