Chapter 341 – My Accidental Bride Is a Fashion Circle Queen Novel

Filed To Story: My Accidental Bride Is a Fashion Circle Queen Novel

“What happened?” Eric asked quietly after he and Emma reached a quiet spot.

Emma gripped tightly to the corner of Eric’s shirt and replied with a complex look in her eyes, “It seems he wants to get revenge for Nathan. The wife of the Director is Nathan’s mother and the two of them seem to be on good terms with Elder Zellweger.”

Plus, with her status, being bullied at an event like this, was a common occurrence. After all, her career wasn’t well established yet and she hadn’t done anything particularly deserving of respect.

Eric looked carefully into Emma’s eyes before he grabbed hold of her right hand and said, “Hold on tightly…”

Emma looked down at their intertwined hands and finally felt a lot more relaxed.

After they returned to the ballroom, everyone looked at Emma in a different light. Eric had already protected Emma in the open and behind-the-scenes for quite some time, but this was the first time he did it at such a big-scale event. Not too long ago, he had announced her relationship with him, this time, he had made everyone aware of her status.

Emma watched as Eric conversed with others; she watched as he dodged and avoided difficult questions that were thrown his way. She found herself tightening her grip on Eric’s hand.

In this icy cold industry; this industry driven by profits; there was still a man willing to hold onto her hand through all the darkness. Above all, he sheltered her from the storm and guided her in the right direction. Emma felt, in this lifetime, even if she had to give up her life for Eric, she would do it without regrets.

Feeling his hand had almost lost circulation from Emma’s tight grip, Eric lowered his head and looked at their hands. He then whispered into Emma’s ear, “How tight are you holding my hand?”

At this moment, the couple were standing right beside the fountain, in the most noticeable spot.

Emma leaned against Eric’s shoulder and replied with a raspy voice, “I’m afraid you’d let go…”

Everyone was gossiping about her with mixed opinions, but this man remained as the only person she could rely on.

Eric turned his body so he could be face-to-face with Emma. In front of everyone, he grabbed onto her hands, “I suddenly have the urge to k**s you.” Eric didn’t just say it – he immediately pulled her towards him and put his words into action…

Everyone gasped. Never would anyone have imagined, these two would be so affectionate even at someone else’s wedding.

“Oh God…look, look, they’re k**sing!”

“They can’t even control themselves at a place like this. It must be true love, right?”

“Although I don’t want to admit it, it seems our almighty Mr. Roberts has indeed been won over by this model. I don’t know how to feel about it, but let’s have a few more drinks to lighten the mood.”

Eric’s intention was simple: he wanted those that were envious of Emma to feel even more envious and he wanted to give a slap to the face to those that thought their relationship was just for show!

Afterwards, the newlywed couple approached Eric and Emma with a warm smile.

Joaquin wr*pped his arm around his bride and said to the couple, “Mr. Roberts, this is our wedding. Leave us a bit of the spotlight…”

“Joaquin, I am so sorry,” Emma grabbed a glass of champagne, ready to offer her apologies with a drink. But, Joaquin simply chuckled.

“I’ve been in Kaleidoscope for many years, but I’ve never seen Mr. Roberts protect someone to this extent. The world is filled with turmoil, you should familiarize yourself with it. Events like this are aplenty…I suppose you don’t want the President to become completely exhausted.”

“Understood,” Emma nodded her head.

“Making yourself more powerful is something you’ve always been good at doing.”

After speaking, the four people clinked glasses. It seemed, the Eric today wasn’t the President of Kaleidoscope, he was simply family.

“Congratulations on your wedding!”

“Thank you, Mr. Roberts.”

Not too far away, Xanthe glared at Eric and Emma’s intertwined hands. She couldn’t help but empty the contents of her champagne glass down her throat. Just like Emma had said, she was indeed a joke. Especially since, when Emma was still in H World, she had once told her that she wanted to have her way with Eric. Back then, she even thought Emma’s boyfriend wasn’t anyone great…

Actually, the words she had said to Emma earlier, was merely because she wasn’t willing to accept the facts that were clearly in front of her…

Outside the ballroom, the rain continued to pour with no signs of stopping. After the wedding reception finished, the guests were supposed to return to their own respective hotel rooms, but…even in the fierce weather, reporters guarded the exit with their umbrellas.

Seeing the reporters’ faces reddened from the harsh weather, many of the celebrities stopped to accept interviews.

This included Xanthe and Winona. After all, they could also do with some publicity.

But, of course, Eric and Emma were the main targets for the reporters.

“President Lopez, the former H World model, Emma, was also present at the wedding today. How did it feel to see her again?”

“I gave my blessings to her” Xanthe gave a standard response.

“Do you think Winona will ever get to the same level as Emma?”

“She is unique. To me, she has her own charm…”

Meanwhile, not too far away, Emma was being asked similar questions.

“Miss Miller, was it awkward to see your former boss?”

“Miss Miller, rumor has it, you have been absent from Fashion Week because you are partaking in a film, is this true? Have you decided to change career paths and pursue acting instead?”

She had already expected them to ask this question. So, Emma immediately turned to the man beside her; he had said earlier on that he’d handle questions like this.

Eric wr*pped his arm around Emma’s waist and replied, “I think her singing is even better.”

Of course, his answer played games around the question.

Their question was related to acting and the runway, yet his answer was about singing…

Emma suddenly had the urge to laugh.

“Mr. Roberts, Emma has been endlessly compared to newcomers recently. Do you mind that she is being compared?”

“Do you have an example?”

“The recently famous Winona is a good example…”

“Who’s that?” Eric asked straightforwardly.

People got famous every day, who were they speaking of?

The reporters understood what Eric meant: Winona was like an insignificant cloud in the sky…

“In that case, can we ask something a little more personal? When are you guys planning to get married?”

While they were ambiguous, the reporters kept asking when they’d reveal their relationship. now that they had revealed their relationship, their questions had changed to when they’d get married…

In response to this question, Eric simply revealed an unpredictable smile. Reporters knew they had reached his limit, so they didn’t ask any further.

They quickly moved aside and cleared a path for the couple to leave. Under the rainy night sky, the image of the couple leaving together under an umbrella was captured by their cameras. Obviously, this wedding was like a rehearsal for the couple.

Back over on Winona’s side, she had just heard Eric’s response. This was when she realized, she had never held any importance to Emma and Eric. Even though she took the resources originally allocated for Emma, she was simply picking up what Emma didn’t want…

“Xanthe, from now on, don’t let the media mention Emma and I in the same breath, I don’t want to bring disgrace upon myself.” Previously, Winona had been proud of the fact that she had taken Emma’s resources. But…she suddenly realized she was a nobody.

Xanthe watched the couple leave and nodded her head in agreement, “They are at a level that we can’t reach…”

“Emma has never been mediocre.”

“Perhaps she still has something up her sleeve to surprise us with…I’m just going to sit back in anticipation!”
