Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia) novel Chapter 839

Unexpectedly, she was very calm. She expected herself to be angry or for her heart to twist in pain, but it was as if she was completely numb.

Though it was a very soft sound, it was like a bomb dropping. In an instant, the whole banquet hall seemed to have quieted down, before the gasps of praise came one after another.

"Wow! Who is this? What a beautiful woman!"

"Eh? Is she looking at the groom? Is she an old flame or a mistress?"

"How sudden? I haven't heard from Kylie that she has a boyfriend before. Looks like we've got a show coming! She looks so elegant. I wonder which family she is from?"

"There's no sign of anything happening yet. Why so excited over drama?"

"I don't like how much she shows off! Isn't she just marrying a rich guy born with a silver spoon with that Cartier ring? It's as if no one else can get married."

Around her

hear the

were eager- eyed people. She could hubbub coming from them.

Unconsciously, Lauren straightened up, even though she was actually so nervous that her palms were sweating up a puddle. To be honest, it was the first time that she had dressed up and attended such a grand occasion like this.

She looked up suddenly, and her eyes met Zedd's eyes. In an instant, color drained from the man's face. Kylie's face also turned pale, but soon after, she came back to her senses, and walked down hurriedly.

"Lauren? When did you get released?"

She deliberately raised her voice.

"I'm so happy to see you! You came out of 'prison' in advance. Why didn't you tell us so that we could pick you up? You see, we had no idea, so we didn't send you an invitation card!"

With that, another uproar arose in an instant. At once, those eyes that were filled with astonishment turned fearful, like they had just seen a ghost. She could also sense that crowd had started distancing themselves.

Feeling hurt, Lauren's face darkened. Just as she was about to say something, Kylie interrupted her.

"Lauren, today is our engagement day. Don't be mad at us! Zedd and I not only treat you as a colleague, but also as a good friend! We didn't know when you would be released from prison.

How did you get released so soon? You know how it is with love - it's out of our control! You're happy for us, right?"

Blinking her eyes, Kylie smiled, striking at Lauren's nerve with each sentence. She was trying so hard to let the world know that Lauren had just come out of prison. This angered the latter so much that she started seeing red.

How was she released so soon? She even looked shockingly beautiful; she was almost unrecognizable!

Lauren chuckled.

Her gaze swept past her and fell behind her.

"Of course! As the saying goes, what goes around comes around! I was let out so soon not just because of the fairness of the law, but it was also because of your happiness!"

That one sentence not only clarified her innocence, but also to let them know not everything was false.
