The old woman’s tone was filled with rage, and she ended up coughing from yelling very loudly. The entire hall was in an uproar, and the people at the door quickly stepped aside in response.
Josephine held Sharon’s trembling body steady as the two of them made their way toward the stage. Sharon was so furious that the veins on her head were bulging from under the skin. She then pointed a finger at Lyle with disappointment in her eyes before kicking over the flower stand in front of the stage.
The flowers scattered everywhere as the stand fell to the floor, and it was a melancholic sight to behold.
Sharon’s sudden appearance had caught Lyle completely off guard, and the look on his face was frozen in place as he asked awkwardly, “Grandma? Didn’t you go on vacation?”
“Oh, Lyle… Is this how you treat your grandma who watched you grow up? First, you promised me you’d love Yvonne for life, only to divorce her behind my back. Then, you claim you’re not planning on getting married for the time being and send me on vacation, all so that you could secretly marry this woman?”
Sharon was so furious that she kept trembling uncontrollably all over as she said that. The flames of anger in her eyes looked like they could burn the entire hall to the ground, and she was so exhausted from her outburst that her legs began to give way.
Josephine quickly waved at the crowd upon noticing that, and someone fetched Sharon’s wheelchair seconds later.
Lyle and Crystal sent her off on a vacation? So that’s why I haven’t seen Sharon around… Worried about her health, I was about to stand up when I recalled what Sharon told me as well as Christopher’s conversation with her.
I then sat back down as I realized Sharon’s rage was probably a part of her act. Crystal had changed the date of her wedding many times, but there was no keeping it from Sharon who found out about my divorce from Lyle just a few days after. That was especially the case for something so grand that pretty much everyone in Avenport knew about.
“No, it’s not what you think. Lyle and I chose not to tell you because you said you didn’t like noisy places… I know you don’t like Crystal, but you can’t force Lyle to hang on to Yvonne either! Since you don’t approve of their marriage, it would be pointless to invite you anyway!” Wendy explained reluctantly, unhappy that a perfect wedding had been ruined.
“Shut up, you two-faced b*tch! None of this would’ve happened if you didn’t show up and cause so much trouble!” Sharon slammed her hand against the table and hurled a glass of wine at her.
“Ah!” Wendy screamed as her white gown was stained red instantly. After a brief pause from the shock, she screamed at the top of her lungs, “What the hell is wrong with you, Mom? Are you trying to ruin Lyle’s happiness?”
Sharon ignored Wendy and turned toward Lyle as she shouted, “If you see me as your grandma, then cancel this wedding right now! It’s either that, or we cut all ties between us!”
I shook my head and let out a sigh after hearing what they said. People are already pointing their fingers at me as it is, and how they mention my name in their argument isn’t exactly helping… Lyle has always been targeting me, to begin with, so there’s no way his narcissistic ego would let him give in to Sharon’s request!
Lyle’s stubbornness kicked in as expected, and he retorted angrily, “This is my wedding day, Grandma! It’s fine if you don’t want to give us your blessings, but you shouldn’t come here and cause a scene like this! You’ve always objected to our marriage, so I sent you away to spare you the eyesore! Why’d you have to make it all sound so wrong?”
After that, he turned toward the priest and ordered, “Continue with the wedding!”
“You unfilial ingrate! So, you absolutely must marry Crystal, huh? Well, I guess you don’t need the Smith family’s business then!” Sharon got up from her wheelchair and was about to make her way on stage, but Wendy quickly stood in front of her to block her path.
