My Husband Is A Gary Stu

Chapter 1243

Chapter 1243 Outlive You

Armand raised his hand and beckoned Cooper over to him, then whispered something into the latter's ear.

Cooper slid his glasses further up his nose bridge as he looked at Armand dubiously. “I doubt she's so stupid that she'd fall for that.”

“Hard to say.” Armand chuckled dryly. “We'll circle back to this. I meant to tell you that Eurydice and Yuvan are getting married on the thirteenth.”

“You're seriously going to let them get hitched?” Cooper had expected Armand to come up with a different plan.

“Well, yeah,” Armand replied. “Their scandal is national news, and everyone's watching the Zeigler family. At this point, marriage is their only way out.”

Cooper rubbed his temple wearily. “I kind of feel sorry for Yuvan.”

Yuvan's and Eurydice's wedding would take place at a resort in Baykeep. Given their fathers' backgrounds, nearly half the bigwigs in politics and the military showed up.

The event was at the peak of festivities, even though there was no press around.

Beatrix and Eurydice were cousins, so it was no surprise that the former and her family showed up at the wedding, too.

However, given that Beatrix was already married, she could not very well be one of Eurydice's bridesmaids.

Beatrix stayed in the bridal room to keep Eurydice company for a bit, then took her cue to return to the main hall when she saw that it was nearly time for the wedding ceremony to begin. On her way back, she ran into Rebecca, who was wearing a bridesmaid's dress.

“Becca,” Beatrix called out jovially.

Rebecca was already in a foul mood, to begin with, and Beatrix's greeting only served to aggravate her.

Whirling around to face Beatrix, she snapped, “Don't call me Becca! We're not that close!”

“Oh, but we will be after today. Plus, I'm older than you, so I can call you Becca if I want,” Beatrix pointed out.

Rebecca sneered, “It's disgusting that someone of Eurydice's status would commit such a scandal. That goes for you, too, you boyfriend-stealing wench. I guess being a disgrace is a family trait for you both!”

She would never have agreed to be Eurydice's bridesmaid if her uncle had not insisted on it.

If anything, she was repulsed by the idea of it.

Beatrix drew a sharp breath when she heard Rebecca's acerbic remarks, but she quickly recovered. Smiling, she said provocatively, “Your cousin Yuvan will be part of the Gaudette family after today. I wonder if your contempt for us extends to him, too.”

Sadly, Rebecca was not quite as witty as Beatrix, so she resorted to glaring at the woman instead.

Unaffected, Beatrix gave a half-shrug and pointed out, “Eurydice's wedding dress has a rather long train, so would you be so kind as to carry it for her later? Thanks.”

With that, she brushed past a fuming Rebecca and left.

A guest happened to be walking up the stairs just as Beatrix was going down. When Beatrix was about to pass by, the guest stretched out her leg and tripped her. Caught off guard, Beatrix lost her balance and tumbled down the stairs.

There were about eight or nine steps, and they were not very steep, but Beatrix fell and rolled to the bottom of the stairs in a clumsy heap nonetheless.
