Love Is a Sweet Addiction

“Mom…!” Anne turned to Amanda and cried, “It’s so humiliating! It’s all because of this woman!”

“I know, but you can’t just ignore yourself and your child because of this.” Amanda helped Esther to sit down on the sofa.

Esther finally had the chance to explain, “I checked the wedding dress. There is no problem. I…”

Anne shouted angrily, “What do you mean? Was it me who ruined the wedding veil and humiliated myself in public?”

At this time, Betty and Doris also came. Seeing Esther’s clothes torn by Anne, Doris walked over and hugged her with heartache. She said, “Esther, what’s going on?”

Esther swallowed hard, not knowing how to defend herself.

“Grandma!” When Anne saw Betty, she immediately cried even more sadly. Betty also saw the scene on the stage just now. She walked up and hugged Anne, comforting her, “Be good! Don’t cry. I know you are sad.”

Anne cried, “Grandma, Esther did it on purpose. Just because I asked her for this wedding dress, she deliberately framed me. If she refused to give it to me, she could refuse. Why did she let me make a fool of myself in public? What about the next wedding banquet? I don’t have the face to go out again.”

Esther patiently explained, “I didn’t set you up on purpose. I don’t know what happened either. I’ve experienced the humiliation in Randall City before. I know how bad that feeling is. How could I be so vicious as to make you make a fool of yourself at the wedding?”

Anne retorted, “It’s precisely because you’ve experienced it in Randall City that you intentionally framed me and let me experience it!”

Esther was speechless.

Anne hugged Betty tightly and sobbed, “Grandma, you must help me. Otherwise, she will try to bully me even more.”

Betty comforted softly, “Don’t worry.”

Doris couldn’t help but say, “Anne, Esther said that she didn’t do it on purpose. Don’t force the crime on her again.”

“You still have the nerve to say it? Like mother, like daughter!” Betty glared at Doris.

“I said I didn’t do it. It has nothing to do with my mother!” After that, Esther said to Doris, “Mom, you should go back now. You shouldn’t come to this place.”

Doris was very worried.

The Gibsons were busy comforting the guests. Now, everyone in the room was targeting Esther. Doris was afraid that Esther would be bullied by this group of women.

It was precise because of this that Esther did not wish for her mother to be involved, which was why she had forcefully persuaded her mother away.

When Amanda saw Anne calm down a little, she said softly, “Anne, although something happened just now, it’s not a big deal. Today is your wedding with James. There’s still a banquet tonight. Hurry up and calm down. Do your makeup, go get change your beautiful dress, and make your way out.”

Anne said with tears in her eyes, “I feel too ashamed to go out again.”

“Even so, you still have to go. Do you want the guests outside to think that you can’t even overcome such a small difficulty?” Amanda glanced at Esther who was walking out and slightly lowered her voice. She continued, “You just slapped Esther, and it shows that you are ill-mannered. Master Gibson must be unhappy. If you hide and don’t go out, it will make him more unhappy.”

Anne thought about it and nodded.

She couldn’t make Clark unhappy before marrying into the Gibson family. Although she was the victim just now, as the future mistress of the Gibson family, it was indeed a bit too disgraceful to hit people in public.

…

Coming out of Anne’s lounge, Esther stroked her swollen cheek as she walked to the lounge on the other side.

Right now, she was the most unsuitable person to appear in front of the public. Her face was red and swollen and her gown was torn.

Esther silently took a few steps forward because she was too distracted and accidentally bumped into someone.

She froze for a moment and instinctively lowered her head to apologize, “I’m sorry…”

“Esther, I never thought that you would be so scheming!” A mocking voice came from above.

Esther was stunned. She looked up at him and smiled bitterly, “Terence, even you think so about me?”

He seemed to look down upon her from the beginning. To prevent Anne from marrying James, she had put in a lot of effort and used all means. For such a coincidence like today, let alone him, even she was about to believe that she had done it on purpose.

Anne’s wedding dress was made by her. Now, there was a problem with the wedding dress, so it was normal that they all blamed her.

“Yes, I am so scheming. Didn’t you know it long ago?” Esther said self-mockingly and brushed past him, preparing to leave.

But Terence pulled her back and said angrily, “Esther, do you know that you not only framed Anne but also humiliated the Gibson family? You go too far!”

Esther replied bluntly, “The one who humiliated the Gibson family has never been me. It was you who are unreasonable!” She struggled, trying to break free of his hand.

Terence had no intention of letting go of Esther. He glared at her and said, “What do you mean? You ruined their wedding. Not only do you not have any remorse, but you are also arrogant!”

“Yes! I don’t regret it at all. The wedding dress is mine. When you all forced me to give up the wedding dress, didn’t you think that this would happen? It is not my fault, but you!”Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

“You…” Terence was furious.

“I’m vicious. I will do anything to retaliate against Anne. Are you satisfied with my answer?” Esther gritted her teeth and said, “If you’re not satisfied, you can let the Cusacks and the Gibsons teach me a lesson. I don’t care!”

She looked down at the large palm that was holding her wrist, saying, “Please let go of me!”
