Chapter 346
Keira narrowed her eyes but didn’t move.
Tina frowned and continued, “Are you worried about not knowing how to explain it to Mary? Don’t
worry. I’ll just say you had something to do and left first p>
Keira sneered. “But I don’t have anything to do p>
Tina was dumbfounded.
She didn’t speak, and several of her female cousins started talking.
“Hey, how can you talk like that p>
“None of us welcome you here, can’t you see? You’re sticking around shamelessly. You really don’t
care about your dignity p>
Keira looked up slightly, and she suddenly stood up, then with a forceful kick, she broke a wooden chair
next to her, causing a loud crashing sound.
The few cousins immediately retreated, their faces losing color.
Only then did Keira blink and look at them. “Oh dear, I’m sorry. I must have used too much strength by
accident. What were you saying just now p>
Just as the Davis family’s women were about to speak, Keira said, “Didn’t you all take two steps back,
further away from me, to avoid getting any splinters accidentally p>
The crowd was speechless.
Those people instantly retreated a few more steps.
Tina looked at her. “Miss South, do you dare to commit violence in the Davis residence p>
Keira said, “Isn’t that what I did? What do you want to do about it? Call security to kick me out? Miss
Davis, today is the marriage alliance between the Davis and Olsen families, and there are lots of
journalists outside. You wouldn’t want to make a big scene, right p>
Tina was instantly choked up. “You p>
Keira let out a sneer, then pulled another chair over, sat down, and calmly looked into the mirror.
Tina huffed in anger and after a while waved her hand. “Forget it p>
The rest of the girls distanced themselves from Keira and sat in another corner of the room.
Victoria looked at Keira and suddenly said, “Let’s hurry up with the makeup too, so we don’t run out
of time later p>
This made Tina’s eyes light up, and she shouted at the makeup artist working on Keira. “Hey, come
over here and do Miss Olsen’s makeup p>
The makeup artist hesitated, “Miss Davis, why don’t you let my colleagues help Miss Olsen with her
makeup? I’ve just started on Miss South’s makeup.
“What does it matter if you just started? Who’s more important, her or Miss Olsen? Can’t you see?
Although Miss Olsen is an adopted daughter, she’s currently the only daughter of the Olsen family
who’s not yet married! She is the Olsen family’s pride and joy! Are you looking down on Miss Olsen?”
Upon hearing the words “adopted daughter, Victoria’s face stiffened.
But Tina, unaware that she had said anything wrong, continued in her usual arrogant manner. “Do you
believe that I could get you fired with just one word p>
The makeup artist was so anxious she was almost in tears.
Seeing this, Keira gently patted the back of her hand. “Go ahead p>
The makeup artist gratefully looked at Keira, packed up her makeup, and went over.
Seeing this, the other makeup artists didn’t dare to come forward.
Over half a dozen makeup artists gathered around the other five bridesmaids, doing their makeup.
Keira looked at herself in the mirror, she had only applied a simple lipstick and didn’t mind it. However,
Rebecca looked at her several times.
She felt their behavior was a bit too much…
After finishing her makeup, Rebecca lowered her eyes and said, “Go and do her makeup p>
The makeup artist nodded immediately and went over.
The others looked toward Rebecca at once.
Rebecca clenched her jaw, speaking indifferently, “I just don’t want to put my cousin in a difficult
position p>
If only
yone out of the six bridesmaids had no makeup, she would stand out, and it wouldn’t look good.
The others exchanged glances and then laughed. “Even if she puts on makeup, it’s useless. Later,
when the groom’s party comes to fetch the bride, we’ll walk with the groomsmen. With her kind of
status, which groomsman would invite her p>
During the fetching of the bride, everyone was to be taken to the hotel.
The bride would be picked up by the groom, and the bridesmaids by the groomsmen… Of course, if no
groomsman invited Keira for a ride, the Davis family would arrange something for her.
But after all, it would look pretty bad.
Keira listened to their conversation and raised her eyebrows slightly.
Indeed, Lewis’s status could match that of Ellis’s groomsman, but Lewis didn’t want to visit the Davis
family, nor did he wish to reveal his identity, and he intended to act as Keira’s personal bodyguard, so
he wasn’t her today.
So, if no groomsman wanted to pick her up later, she could just drive over there, right?
What was the big deal?
Time quickly passed, and after the six bridesmaids‘ makeup was done, another half hour passed
before Mary’s bridal makeup was ready.
The six bridesmaids returned to Mary’s bridal room, and as soon as Keira entered, she saw Mary
giving her a worried look.
She immediately smiled to show that everything was fine, which made Mary breathe a sigh of relief.
The following proceedings proceeded much more smoothly.
Keira found that these well–bred young ladies might not be so decent in private, but in public, they
behaved very appropriately and gracefully.
Apart from Rebecca, none of the others bothered her again.
But even Rebecca just glared at her a few times, knowing that it wasn’t the right occasion to stir up
trouble.
Soon, it was time for the groom to arrive and fetch the bride.
Yet there was no movement outside.
Tina couldn’t help but whisper, “Why hasn’t he come yet p>
Mary glanced at the clock on the wall, her mind flashing back to yesterday with Ellis at the
courthouse…
Going for the marriage certificate a day before the wedding was an arrangement between the two
families.
She had arrived at the courthouse early and waited a long time. When the office was about to close,
Ellis finally arrived.
Without any explanation, he processed the registration with her, holding their ID cards.
Clutching her freshly minted marriage certificate, Mary felt somewhat bewildered at the time.
She had never dared to hope that she could marry the man she secretly loved…
As she was lost in thought, Ellis suddenly turned to her, his voice tinged with anger and frost, “Mary,
now that we have the marriage certificate, you should finally tell me who the father of this child is, right?
At least let me know whose cuckold I’ve been made to wear p>
Mary was taken aback by his words, and after a pause, she earnestly replied, “It’s yours p>
Ellis scoffed. “And you still deny it now p>
Mary lowered her eyes, “Whether you believe me or not, I’ll explain one last time: you were my first,
and the only man I’ve been with. I’m certain the child is yours p>
At that moment, Ellis froze. “What did you say? That night with me was your first time? Didn’t you say
before… it wasn’t your first time p>
It was because of that one statement from Mary that Ellis regarded her as an easy woman.
Mary clenched her fists and smiled bitterly. “You asked me, ‘It’s not your first time, right? What was I
supposed to say p>
Ellis was stunned.
