“I’ve also remembered what you’ve done for me,” Emma replied.
At this time, George Benedict suddenly said, “In that case, if I come across any troubles, I’ll definitely ask you for help.”
Emma maintained her smile because she could tell that George Benedict did have something to ask of her. But, of course, after what George Benedict had done for her in the past, it was only right for her to return the favor.
But, for some reason, Emma had a bad feeling about this.
Eric seemed to have seen through her uncertainty, so he said, “People change. Or perhaps, you never truly understood him.”
“Forget it. I’ll just think of this as returning a favor.”
As a result, the wedding suddenly felt quite insincere.
She originally thought that George Benedict invited her there to catch up.
“You don’t know how to be cautious of your acquaintances.”
George Benedict and his bride went back to greeting their guests, but they continued to linger around Emma and Eric. Emma even overheard a few things that made her quite uncomfortable.
“I’d heard in the past that Editor Benedict was close to Emma, I never thought that it was true.”
“Apart from the people at Superstar Media, I think you are the only one that has such a close relationship with Emma…”
After hearing the guests say this, Emma’s exp**ssion turned cold. It turned out, George Benedict was using her status to boost himself.
“In the past, when your status wasn’t high and you were just a small-time model, he helped you because he appreciated talent. So, now that you’ve become a huge talking point in the industry, it’s only natural for him to s**k up to you. Your heart is still the same as before, so you didn’t notice that everything has changed. But, there are many things that are no longer the same.”
After hearing Eric’s explanation, Emma nodded her head, “I understand. It’s just hard to accept.”
“If you don’t like being here, we can find an excuse to leave.”
“Forget it. Since I’ve already given him face by appearing here, I might as well go all the way. If worse comes to worst, I’ll never come in contact with him again,” Emma decided.
Before the ceremony started, there was already so much drama. What would happen after the ceremony and during the reception?
Realistically speaking, George Benedict couldn’t be blamed for acting the way that he did. After all, it was human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.
However, just as Emma regained her composure, someone suddenly yelled from the crowd, “Is she trying to strip dance?”
Who was at the center of this ruckus? Xia Hanmo!
Emma did not know that Xia Hanmo had been schemed against. But, amongst the huge commotion, she managed to spot President Fan chatting to a director on the other side of the venue. Their eyes fired up as they looked at each other.
A moment later, Emma spotted the red-faced Xia Hanmo standing up amongst the seated guests, tugging at her clothes uncomfortably. By this time, one side of her long blue dress had already sl*pped off her shoulder and, unfortunately, she was wearing nothing underneath.
The public exposure created quite a commotion.
As everyone present was a celebrity of some sort, they quickly stepped away from her, afraid that they would be tied in with this humiliating act.
But, the thing that everyone was most curious about, was how Xia Hanmo’s ex-boss, Emma, was going to react to a scene like this. Was she going to help her?
“Let’s go have a look,” Emma said to Eric after confirming that it was Xia Hanmo.
At the same time, Eric instructed Luke to take off his jacket and cover Xia Hanmo.
But, even after doing this, Xia Hanmo m**ned and groaned embarrassingly in front of everyone. Emma soon made her way into the crowd and saw Luke pour a glass of icy cold water on Xia Hanmo.
Luckily, she wasn’t drugged too badly.
Due to the icy coldness, Xia Hanmo came to her senses. When she realized that she was half naked, she was so upset that she wanted to immediately drill a hole to hide in.
Anyone with a bit of awareness would of realized that Xia Hanmo had fallen into someone’s trap.
But, after this embarrassment…how was Xia Hanmo to ever face the world again?
As George Benedict stood next to his bride watching the scene unfold, he immediately approached and asked, “Who did this? How dare someone bully another guest at my wedding?”
As the host, if he didn’t get justice for Xia Hanmo, it wouldn’t be right…
Plus, Xia Hanmo was once a part of Superstar Media. So, it was important that he got an explanation.
Xia Hanmo was really upset. She wanted to leave the wedding, but Emma suddenly grabbed onto her wrist and asked, “What happened?”
Was Emma going to do something about it?
Didn’t she say that Xia Hanmo and Superstar Media were no longer related?
Xia Hanmo looked at Emma as tears began to roll out of her eyes.
Was Emma showing concern for her?
“Based on my relationship with Editor Benedict, he definitely won’t let this matter go like this. There’s still a bit of time until the ceremony starts. I’m sure Editor Benedict will allow me to spend this time looking for the culprit. Otherwise, his heart won’t be at peace either.”
Since George Benedict deliberately invited her so he could flaunt their relationship, Emma played along to her own benefit, so there was nothing he could say about it.
Hence, as expected, George Benedict nodded his head, “Indeed. Ruining a person’s purity is an important matter.”
With George Benedict’s agreement, Emma turned and said to Xia Hanmo, “What exactly happened?”
Xia Hanmo did not say a word. She simply glared at the young artist that she had argued with earlier. Emma immediately understood and looked at the woman as well.
“It’s got nothing to do with me. I argued with you earlier, but I would never do something this disgusting.”
“It really wasn’t me…”
“Besides, even if you suspect me, you still need evidence. I may dislike Xia Hanmo, but I simply instructed the waiter to teach her a lesson by damaging her chair so she’d embarrass herself. How would I have predicted that I’d have an argument with her and have drugs prepared…”
Emma could tell that the woman wasn’t lying.
Otherwise, she would have felt guilty as soon as something happened to Xia Hanmo.
So, Emma naturally turned to look at President Fan instead. And he simply looked back at her smugly, waiting to see how she would resolve the matter.
It seemed, President Fan wanted to challenge her until the end.
The public often talked about how amazing and capable Emma was. So, how was she going to find the culprit?
Everyone looked at Emma and waited to see the result. But, she simply looked at Xia Hanmo and said, “Originally, you had already broken all ties with Superstar Media. But, I couldn’t control myself from getting involved. I believe that the young woman that argued with you did not drug you. So, go freshen up and come back to sit by my side.”
“I will follow-up this matter after the ceremony is over.”
Originally, after the embarrassment she had suffered, it didn’t make sense for Xia Hanmo to stay at the wedding. After all, it was too tempting for people to t**se her. But, if she sat next to Emma, the situation was very different; no one dared to touch someone that Emma was protecting.
The guests were curious. Was Emma planning to take Xia Hanmo back?
Xia Hanmo’s eyes turned red as Luke protected her out of the venue. Meanwhile, Emma and Eric returned to their original spot. However, both their eyes were placed on President Fan in the distance.
“This jerk looks like he came prepared.”
“It doesn’t matter, let’s wait and see what else he has planned…”
Most importantly, of course, everyone was waiting to see how Emma planned to make the culprit pay back for this incident.
It didn’t take long before George Benedict and his bride approached to provide an apology, “I never thought that something like this would happen at my wedding…”
“It’s not your fault. Besides, Xia Hanmo isn’t a part of Superstar Media,” Emma reminded George Benedict calmly. “Even if this happened to someone else, I would have still helped them.”
“Let’s forget it then and put this incident in the past. The ceremony is about to start, I need to direct everyone’s attention to the stage…”
Emma turned her gaze to President Fan and President Fan raised a wine glass at her…
