Unexpectedly Sweet Flash Marriage novel Chapter 11

Chapter 11 Keeping up with Trends, a Flash Wedding

Lilly, who shared an office with Adeline, keenly sensed that something was off and walked over with a smile to defuse the situation.

"Alright, Melissa, you've been talking so much without giving Adeline a chance to speak. Let's all have some wedding candies first, and then let Adeline share with everyone in detail."

Lilly, Melissa, and Adeline were teachers who joined the school at the same time, and they had a good relationship.

Adeline gave her a grateful look.

Lilly lightly chuckled and held her hand, "Congratulations to you, but that's not what we were talking about just now."

Adeline was utterly confused.

Lilly explained with a smile, "We were talking about the district's public lesson competition. You got first place. Now all that's left is the online voting. And you, as an excellent teacher in the district, will definitely secure the position."

Adeline looked at Lilly in astonishment. She believed she had decent abilities, but getting the highest overall score was somewhat unexpected.

Soon, she remembered something and shyly lowered her head.

It turned out that she had misunderstood everyone just now.

Lilly knew she had realized it a bit late and nudged her, "Come on, quickly share the proposal process with us."

"Psh, that guy, Logan... Seriously, how romantic can he be?" Melissa said nonchalantly while chewing on chocolate.

"It's not him." Hearing the mention of Logan, Adeline's heart sank and ached. But she tried to downplay it as she explained, "It was someone... arranged by my family. We saw that it was fitting, so we kept up with trends by having a flash wedding."

As her voice trailed off, the entire office fell silent.

Everyone knew that Adeline had been engaged to a man for three years, who was a prominent figure from the renowned Riley family in Prodiff.

How did she suddenly change her partner?

Could the new one be as good as Logan?

Could anyone else be as wealthy and influential as Logan?

The people present were all astute individuals who knew very well the intricacies of the upper-class families, and their faces showed varying degrees of embarrassment.

"Oh, a flash wedding sounds great," someone broke the silence.

"Yeah, it's someone introduced by the elders, so they must know everything about him."

"If they can afford that ring, they're definitely not ordinary."

"That's for sure! I wonder who's lucky enough to marry our Ms. Burton, such a beauty," a male colleague teased.

Among the teachers, Adeline stood out with her stunning looks. When she first arrived, many unmarried male colleagues were curious about her. This male colleague was one of them.

However, later on, everyone learned that she had a fiancé, the son of one of the four major families in Prodiff, the Riley family. That dashed any thoughts they had.

Adeline smiled lightly and replied, "He's just an ordinary person. The ring isn't valuable either."

Ring~~

A pleasant electronic bell rang, indicating that most of the people present had classes to attend. They were forced to pause their conversation. Then, they pick up their textbooks, and leave.

The entire office was suddenly left with only Adeline and Melissa, relieving Adeline of some awkwardness.

Seeing that there was no one around, Melissa hurriedly pulled Adeline to the balcony and straightforwardly asked, "What's going on? How did you end up marrying someone else?"

With a sigh of helplessness, Adeline explained the whole story.

Melissa got so angry that she rolled up her sleeves, ready to fight.

"What's wrong with your family? And Logan's mother, she's so disgusting! She used to boss you around, making you do this and that, buying things one moment and picking up people the next! I thought she treated you like a daughter-in-law! How could she hide such intentions?"
