Chapter 49 The Grand Wedding 7 Teach Shameless People A Lesson
Dominic was stunned.
He stared at Cecilia with wide eyes, even a bit dazed.
She actually hit him!
This woman, a lady raised in an upper class, actually hit him in front of everyone!
He glared at Cecilia with anger.
Watching Cecilia, who had just let go of his hand and walked away in that moment of his bewilderment, he clenched his fists, still trying to figure out how to make Cecilia stay and how to continue their wedding.
At that moment.
"Stop!" A stern but elderly voice suddenly rang out.
Everyone looked towards the old lady who suddenly appeared on the stage. It was Ophelia.
She was supported by Vincent as she strode toward the center of the stage, facing Cecilia, and loudly commanded.
Cecilia's steps faltered as she left.
It wasn't that she was afraid of Ophelia, she just felt that since some people were so shameless, she would make them lose face completely!
She turned back to face Ophelia.
In front of everyone, Ophelia didn't give Cecilia any face, scolding loudly, "Is marriage child's play? Can't you stop being so reckless!"
Cecilia hadn't spoken yet.
Ophelia reprimanded again, "Your marriage to Dominic was personally arranged by your grandfather. Now that the Kingsley family sincerely wants to marry you, if you leave like this, are you showing respect to your grandfather and us? You are going too far!"
In fact, Cecilia had not expected the Kingsley family to find help so quickly.
Indeed, she had been deceived badly by them in the past, and the capabilities of this family should not be underestimated.
However, she was not so weak as before.
A few casual threats and remarks wouldn't make her surrender.
She looked at Ophelia. "Do you mean I have to marry him even if he is a criminal, just because the marriage was arranged by elders?”
The sarcastic remark made Ophelia's face darken.
She sternly said to Cecilia, "Cecilia, you are being unreasonable! Even if Dominic were a criminal, you should accept it, but he's not. He just made a mistake that any man could make. At a time when he is so self-reproachful and distressed, as his wife, instead of helping him through this difficult time, you are abandoning him! You are a shame to the Lockhart family.”
"Shame?" Cecilia sneered again, "So in your eyes, I am to be blamed if Dominic cheats? Should I cheat too, so Dominic could forgive me?"
"Shut up!" Ophelia scolded.
Cecilia didn't back down, "You don't deserve my respect, it's you who should shut up!"
"Cecilia, are you defying me?" Ophelia was truly enraged by Cecilia.
She never expected Cecilia to argue with her in front of everyone.
Last time at the Lockhart family estate didn't count, as there were no other people present.
Now she dared to confront her so fiercely in front of so many people.
In her impression, Cecilia was not like this.
Now Cecilia was not afraid of her, she was even arguing with her in front of so many people.
At this moment, to outsiders, she seemed like someone who wasn’t even respected by her own granddaughter.
Perhaps people would even say that she had no power in the Lockhart family at all.
Thinking of this, Ophelia's anger intensified.
Of course, Cecilia didn't care.
She had no intention of being respectful to Ophelia.
She said coldly, "Now I finally understand why Grandpa dislikes you so much! You are terrible, grandma.”
"Cecilia, what the hell are you talking! Do you want to be punished?" Vincent suddenly interjected.
Cecilia turned to Vincent. "I didn't intend to embarrass you like this, or even investigate this matter too thoroughly, but since you want to uphold justice for the Lockhart family, why don't we talk about the catalyst for this incident, the affair between Dominic and your daughter Isadora!"
Vincent's expression changed instantly.
Just now, Vincent had been requested by the Kingsley family to pressure Cecilia to complete the wedding. They had some dealings in private, and Vincent also wanted to use the power of other families to reclaim what he believed rightfully belonged to the Lockhart family, so he readily agreed.
He overlooked the fact that this incident was caused by his daughter.
His behavior on stage was equivalent to embarrassing himself.
Cecilia didn't give Vincent any face at all. She aggressively said, "Dominic kept saying that Isadora seduced him. Is it true? Should we confront her face to face? If it's true, I might forgive Dominic."
"You!" Vincent was so angry he wanted to kill Cecilia.
As soon as Dominic heard that Cecilia might forgive him, he quickly said, "Isadora, why did you put the aphrodisiac into my glass? You are so despicable, making me hurt Cecilia!"
