Chapter 9 Please Attend My Wedding

On the other hand, Vanessa Garcia tightened her grip on Isaac’s arm, as if asserting her claim on him. She smiled at Courtney, saying, “Look at you, Courtney. Why didn’t you tell Isaac and me that you were back?”

“I didn’t think there was a need for that.”

“I heard that you severed your relations with the Hunters to go overseas back then.” Vanessa sounded concerned, but her words were caustic despite her gentle facade. “Do you want to go back to the Hunter Mansion to take a look?”

Isaac interrupted, as if noticing that Courtney was feeling awkward. “Let’s go, Vanessa.”

“Why are you in such a hurry? I still want to chat with her since we haven’t met for a long time,” Vanessa retorted while forcibly dragging Courtney toward the elevator without allowing her to refuse.

Feeling that her lips were becoming dry, Courtney dropped her gaze.

Vanessa dragged her into the elevator after its door opened. Since Courtney’s gaze was lowered, she could only see a guest entering the elevator after them, so she moved sideways a little.

As the suit jacket of the guest who walked past her brushed the tip of her nose, its coldness made her tremble unknowingly. For some reason, she found the coldness familiar to her.

Courtney looked up and tried to steal a glance at the guest, but Vanessa stepped in front of her with her high heels before she could do so. “Courtney, can you be there by then?”

Not knowing what Vanessa had just said, Courtney withdrew her gaze, asking, “Pardon?”

“I mean Issac and my engagement party.” Vanessa raised her hand to show the sparkling diamond ring on her ring finger. With a look of smugness in her eyes, she curled her red lips into a smile, saying, “It’s on the 18th of next month. I hope that you’ll be there.”

The familiar and expensive diamond ring was so dazzling that it stung Courtney’s eyes.

She remembered herself pointing at a ring in a jewelry shop with Isaac in the past, saying that she must have this ring as her wedding ring. She didn’t expect this ring to end up on Vanessa’s finger at this present time.

“I’ve just started working, so I may not be free.” Courtney turned her head away instead of looking at the ring, lest she felt even more upset.

“You have to come, Courtney!” Vanessa took Courtney’s hand affectionately with a smile. “I have been looking forward to the day when you can be my bridesmaid.”

Courtney sneered inwardly, Is she implying that she had wanted to steal my boyfriend a long time ago?

Vanessa’s eyes flickered when she saw that Courtney was silent, and she suggested with a smile, “I know you are afraid that you won’t have a male companion who can attend the party with you. It’s alright; I know many friends, so I can introduce one of them to you.”

“I have a boyfriend; it’s just inconvenient for me to attend the party.” Courtney shoved Vanessa’s hand away calmly. “Besides, I’m afraid that he won’t allow me to attend the engagement party of my ex-boyfriend and bestie.”

Isaac’s expression changed slightly.

Vanessa’s expression also froze for a moment before she took Courtney’s hand once again in a seemingly friendly manner. “Courtney, why don’t you call your boyfriend over and introduce them to us? I have to thank him for taking such good care of you.”

“There’s no need for such a hassle. He’s very busy.”

As Vanessa pulled Courtney about, the latter tripped and fell right away. However, Vanessa quietly moved to the side without showing any intention of helping her up.

Courtney fell over and bumped her head against a hard chest, causing pain in her forehead.

“Heh.”

She heard a sneer above her. For some reason, the sneer sounded familiar to her.
