The guests below the stage started discussing in hushed tones.
There were quite a lot of people commenting, so those on stage could hear them clearly.
With Emily in the lead, the group of girls got even more annoyed as their jealousy reached a breaking point.
Tom felt uncomfortable, as well. Regret? How could he not be? That sentence had blatantly exposed his innermost thought.
However, Xyla was apathetic the whole time, like she was never involved in any of this.
She had gotten used to getting praise from the public.
After the group photo, everyone started getting off the stage.
Xyla carefully lifted her dress and lowered her head to follow everyone down the stage.
Emily immediately lifted her dress, planning to chase after her.
Upon seeing this, Tom immediately grabbed her wrist, pulled her into the changing room, and slammed the door shut.
He simply pressed her against the door.
“What are you doing?” Emily looked irritated.
“There are many eyes watching today. Don’t embarrass me! Otherwise, I won’t let you off! Hurry up and change into your gown! Go outside and give toasts!” Tom answered chillingly, no longer displaying elegance as he did before.
There was no warmth in his eyes.
After that, Tom simply left without looking back.
His cold attitude was like a sharp knife stabbing Emily deeply.
To her disappointment, tears began to fall.
Just then, the sounds of footsteps could be heard.
Emily quickly steadied her emotions and sat down at the dressing table.
