Before I could say anything, Dulcie on the side couldn't hold it in any longer, "Dad, why are you thanking her? Don't you know what kind of person she is? It's all because of money that she clings to Shelton tightly. Now that Shelton is rich, how come you are afraid that she'll run away? She'll be nice to Shelton even if she dies. After all, nobody will give up on such a powerful sugar daddy."
From the very first beginning, neither Dulcie nor Melissa treated me well.
After all, they knew clearly what had happened before, ascertaining that I was a beauty who brought trouble to them.
Now that Shelton had announced how rich he was, making them more ascertain that I had gained a lot of benefits for nothing.
Hearing what she said, Melissa spoke, "She isn't simple. I think She should have deceived Shelton."
"It is enough!" Ned got angry and stared at the two of them, "If you didn't come here to congratulate them, you don't have to show up here. Now that you're here, put away all your filthy thoughts!"
"Dad! I am your daughter. And she is an outsider!" Dulcie, a strong woman, refused to bow her head.
Melissa, who was pulled by Sheridan, stopped talking.
Ned was unhappy, saying, "Since you are my daughter, you should know how to see through the appearance to the essence!"
"Whose essence should I see through? She?" Dulcie glared at me.
Patrick sat there and listened to Dulcie and Melissa's words, looking more and more gloomy.
Patrick suddenly stood up and wanted to say something. However, Shelton, who was beside me, spoke first, "If anyone of you has any problems with my wife, leave now. If you make trouble here and speak rudely to my wife, I will naturally make you pay the price. Don't blame me for being merciless then."
As Shelton spoke, he spoke slowly. However, he said word for word, indicating that he was a man of his words!
Dulcie moved her lips and said in the end, "She is just your fiancee." Then, she sat down.
Patrick stood there, looking at Shelton with indifference and hostility in his eyes.
At this time, a, who was sitting on the side, suddenly reached out and took the hand of Shelton next to him, saying in a childish voice,
"Dad, are you angry?"
It was the first time he called Shelton father in front of everyone.
Shelton, who had looked stern just now, suddenly looked gentle.
He leaned over slightly and patted Glenn's little face, saying, "No, I'm not angry. It's just that I don't want anyone to bully your mom."
"Okay!" Glenn's eyes twinkled as he said, "Dad, you are so good."
Ned, who was standing on the side, heard Glenn's words and beamed with joy.
At this time, he no longer cared about whose child Glenn was. As long as Glenn was a child of the Cowell Family, he would be happy.
After all, he, who was already at his age, became lively after having a child with him.
However arrogant the members of the Cowell Family were, they had to do as Ned said.
Even though Dulcie was extremely unhappy in her heart, she dared not say anything else.
After toasting the ones at this table, I went to another table with Shelton.
Guests were sitting at dozens of tables. And we toasted guests at each table. Shelton said that I didn't have to drink if I didn't want to. However, on such a day, I couldn't tell who the guests of honor were and who weren't.
It wouldn't be good if they didn't have a good time.
So I simply toasted all of them.
After a round of drinking, I felt a little dizzy.
At this time, two men came over and said to Shelton, "Mr. Cowell, congratulations."
Feeling so dizzy, I said to Shelton, "I'll take a rest first and ask Amy to powder my face."
Shelton asked with concern, "Do you need me to accompany you?"
I shook my head and left alone.
After I arrived at the door, I happened to see Amy eating on the side.
When he saw me, he immediately got up and accompanied me to the dressing room. In the dressing room, Amy helped me do make-up and said, "Miss Nolan, we've seen each other so many times. It's also fate that I can do make-up for you for a few times."
"I know what you're going to say. Don't say anything more."
Judging from Amy's tone, I knew what she was going to say.
I looked down at the engagement ring on my hand.
