Chapter 523 Oh no, the bride committed suicide
"Are you okay? Let me get you a glass of water," Angela said, looking at Scott. He was sick but still trying to tough it out. Didn't he know he should be resting at home?
Soon, a waiter from the hotel brought over some water, but Scott had no intention of taking it.
Angela knew his personality well. She took the water and handed it to him. "Drink it."
"Someone else touched it. I won't drink it," Scott said flatly, not even reaching for the glass.
It was indeed a female waiter who had brought the water. Angela said, "How about I get a male waiter to bring it?"
A male waiter brought the water, but Scott still wouldn't drink it.
"Why are you so difficult? I'll get it myself, okay?"
Angela went over and got a glass of water. When she handed it to Scott, he finally took it.
Caden, who was nearby, saw this and said, "You two seem pretty close. I want some water too. Can you get me a glass?"
Angela looked at the two glasses of water in front of her and pushed them both toward Caden. "Perfect timing, you can have these two."
Caden was silent.
Caden felt that ever since Scott showed up, he couldn't have a proper conversation with Angela.
Moreover, with Scott sitting there, he felt a lot of pressure. Scott had a cold and hard aura that made Caden uncomfortable.
"How about we go over there to chat?" Caden suggested.
"Sure," Angela agreed.
At this moment, Scott coldly said, "What's there to talk about?"
"This is my old classmate. We haven't seen each other in a long time. You stay here, Scott. Caden, let's go!"
Angela took Caden to the other side, and a hint of displeasure flashed across Scott's face.
Scott was already good-looking, and with his aura, he naturally attracted a lot of girls.
There were quite a few guests today, and naturally, some noticed Scott. A girl walked over. "Excuse me, sir, may I sit next to you?"
"No," Scott refused.
However, the woman thought Scott was just being shy and sat down anyway.
"Let's be friends. You're quite handsome. Do you have a..."
Before she could finish, Scott interrupted, "I'm already married."
Scott stood up to keep his distance from the woman.
These women clearly had ulterior motives, and he was very resistant to them.
The woman said, "Who are you kidding? You're married but don't even have a ring?"
Scott looked down at his hand. He indeed didn't have a ring and didn't even know that married people were supposed to wear rings.
So, if he wore a ring, would these people know he was married and stop approaching him?
Scott looked over at Angela. If Angela had a ring too, would people know she was married and stop bothering her?
Scott immediately sent a message to someone to design some rings for him to choose from.
Scott was already good-looking, and even after he dismissed one woman, several more came over. He was at a loss, and despite showing his impatience, the women found him pure and cute.
Scott couldn't take it anymore and shouted, "Angela!"
Angela heard the shout and turned to see Scott surrounded by women.
She knew this wasn't good. Scott was definitely unhappy.
Angela quickly went over and squeezed through the women. "What are you doing? Do you think my husband is good-looking?"
"Your husband?" The other women looked at Angela. After all, the guests today were either relatives of the Ross family or the Turner family, and many knew Angela.
"Angela, when did you get married?"
"Just recently," Angela answered confidently.
"I don't believe it. How could you find such a handsome husband?"
For those who didn't believe her, Angela sneered and took out a copy of her marriage certificate from her bag. "See for yourselves."
It was a copy of her marriage certificate that she had made extra copies of last time.
"I'm not showing you the original because I'm afraid you'll ruin it out of jealousy. This is a copy. Pass it around. This man is my husband, so don't even think about it."
The women were surprised that Angela was really married and had such a handsome husband.
With Angela there, Scott's expression softened a bit.
Angela must have feelings for him. Otherwise, why would she carry a copy of their marriage certificate and show it to everyone?
When she was with that man earlier, she didn't acknowledge him as her husband or introduce him. Now that women surrounded him, she came over. She must be jealous!
Scott's mind was racing with thoughts. The more he thought about it, the more he believed Angela was playing hard to get. She must have been talking to that man on purpose to make him jealous, and now that she saw him surrounded by women, she got anxious!
The women, feeling indignant, said, "So what if he's yours? We're just here to chat. You wouldn't be so strict as not to let your husband talk to anyone, would you?"
"I don't mind, but he's not what you think. He may look handsome, but he's actually very poor. He doesn't even have a hundred dollars in his pocket."
Scott was silent.
The other women were shocked. "What?"
So he was a poor guy. Never mind then.
"Let's go. I knew it. How could he be interested in you? Turns out you're supporting him. Forget it." The women quickly left upon hearing Scott had no money.
Angela pulled him to a quiet corner. "If you don't like women, why did you come out?"
"You're ruining my reputation again!"
"Does your reputation need me to ruin it? It's already not great. Do you like being surrounded by these women? Should I tell them you're a billionaire and bring them back?"
"Don't you dare!"
Seeing Scott's reaction, Angela noticed his face was red, not knowing if it was from embarrassment or anger.
"What's wrong with women? They're pretty, soft, and smell nice. Why do you treat them like beasts?" Angela teased.
She even leaned closer to Scott, her body pressing against his. "Do you feel uncomfortable and awkward with me like this?"
Scott was silent.
Scott realized that Angela's closeness felt different from other women. When other women got close, he felt extreme disgust, as if his body naturally rejected them. But when Angela got close, his heart raced without that feeling of repulsion.
"Scott, you..." Angela started to say something when a commotion erupted nearby.
"Something's wrong! The bride has committed suicide!"
