She kept walking forward. Pawing by a table, she casually picked up a glass of red wine and took a sip with poise.
What exactly do you want? Get out of here right now!?
Amanda hamed down from the stage and blocked her path.
Julius shook off Nadine’s brothers and stepped in front of Jemima, his face icy cold. “Don’t make a scene. We’ll talk at home”
“Julnus, are you taking a concubine now?”
Jemima interrupted him, her slow, mocking tone dripping with sarcasm.

The guests were also stunned. Jemima really had guts. Where did she get such confidence?
Nadine was so furious she lost control of her expression. “Jemima, you shameless woman! I am Julius‘ rightful wife! We’re getting engaged! Im the legitimate one!”
“Skour up“” Julius snapped.
Amanda rushed over to hug Nadine, trying to soothe her. “Nadine, sweetheart, don’t lower yourself to her level. Don’t argue
Jemima generously said. “Don’t stop her. Let her speak”

Quinlan was momentanly dazed by her unile, then immediately felt it was absurd This woman was beyond arrogant

Nadine, on the other hand, was so angry she burst out laughing. Her words poured out incoherently “Serve you tea? Who do you dunk you are What right do you have to say that? Serve you tea? How about I go pay respects at your grave instead!”
Jei turned to her “Not convinced?”
She set her drink aside, rummaging through her bag to pull out a marriage certificate. Flipping it open, she placed it in front of Nadine. “Now, mower me. Do Thave the right to make you kneel and toast me?”
