“Do you think nothing will happen to you just because we’re engaged, Paige? We’ll make sure you become the laughingstock of the city at the wedding tomorrow.”
My emotions were in turmoil as I looked straight at them. “Both of you don’t need to worry about my wedding. My grandmother left this gown to me as my wedding present. It’s my personal belonging. None of you have any right to touch it. Give the wedding gown to me, Nancy.”
Nancy hid behind the Sinclair brothers with reddened eyes. Her arm swept against the red wine on the table, and the white gown was instantly dyed red.
Ryan scoffed and tore the stained wedding gown to pieces.
“Human hearts are easily dirtied, and so is this thing. Only garbage has the right to cherish garbage.”
I was enraged and reached out to pick up the pieces that were flung to the floor.
Nancy quickly moved away when she saw this. She tripped on herself, and her head knocked into the corner of the table. She passed out after that.
The Sinclair brothers quickly rushed forward to carry Nancy in their arms when they saw this.
“How can you do this to your sister just because you want to marry us, Paige?”
“We won’t let you off if anything happens to Nancy.”
They ran out of the door with Nancy after that.
Nancy’s head was facing me while she was in Ryan’s arms. She opened her eyes slightly and smiled as she mouthed, “You lost.”
Her action reminded me of the humiliation I felt the past few days, and I could not take it any longer. I rushed forward to grab Nancy’s hair.
“I told you that she’s wearing my wedding gown. It doesn’t matter to me where you’re going, but you need to leave the gown behind before you leave!”
Ryan was carrying Nancy, and Luke tried to pull my hand off.
“This is just something an old woman left behind. What does it matter that Nancy tried it on?”
“Aren’t you planning to wear it to marry us? I’m telling you right now that’s not possible, Paige Edwards!”
