Chapter 269: Chapter 269: I Feel So Dirty...
The news of Ian Langley’s marriage had reached the upper echelons of Veridia, and with the wedding approaching, many noble families had received invitations.
Although the Shaw family and the Langley Family were not on the best of terms, the Langley Family still sent an invitation to the Shaw family for the sake of appearances.
When the invitation reached Nina Shaw’s hands, she didn’t even glance at it, just tossed it into the trash can.
"That ugly Sharon Langley actually secured a match with the Eastwood family, heaven must be blind."
She should be marrying a loser like Keith Taylor!
Nina Shaw’s close friend chimed in, "I heard Sharon Langley even invited Ivy Kensington to be her bridesmaid. Birds of a feather flock together."
"I also heard that Sharon and Mr. Eastwood’s second son have a very close relationship. The betrothal gift was directly a billion, and several waterfront villas too. It’s enough to make anyone jealous."
Upon hearing this, Nina Shaw’s eyelashes trembled.
Could Sharon Langley really be doing so well?
Immediately, a scheme surged in Nina Shaw’s mind, and she laughed sinisterly.
Hmph, Sharon Langley doesn’t deserve any of this. Just wait and see!
The day before Ian Langley’s wedding.
Ivy Kensington was helping Sharon Langley pick out earrings, thinking about how to match them to look the best.
Sharon hugged Ivy playfully, "After today, I’m leaving my single life behind, kind of exciting~"
Even though she had been engaged to someone like Keith Taylor before, it didn’t stop her from looking forward to her married life now.
Ivy genuinely felt happy for her, "Yeah, you’re definitely going to be happy."
At least, happier than she was.
At this moment, Sharon Langley’s fiancé, Isaac Eastwood, walked over.
He was about the same age as Sharon, and as the youngest son of the Eastwood family, although he didn’t inherit the family business, he entered the film industry as a director. Over the past few years, he’s made one or two decent films and gained some recognition.
"Sharon, don’t be nervous tomorrow, I..."
Isaac had come to comfort Sharon but ended up stammering and didn’t manage to say a complete sentence, which made Sharon laugh out loud. "Oh dear, I won’t be nervous. Don’t worry."
A big-time director who’s filmed movies, yet he’s stuttering over comforting words.
While laughing, Sharon’s eyes revealed a hint of shyness.
This was a sign that Isaac cared for her, otherwise, he wouldn’t be this nervous.
Feeling a bit embarrassed at being teased, Isaac scratched his head. Seeing Ivy was there with Sharon, he didn’t stay longer. Instead, he advised, "I’ll head out first, if anything comes up, let me know right away."
Sharon responded with a couple of "mm hmms."
Watching their sweet interaction, Ivy couldn’t help but smile, "Sharon, Mr. Eastwood is a really nice person."
Sharon nodded, "He is."
If she had indeed married Keith Taylor back then, happiness like this probably wouldn’t have been possible. All of this was thanks to Ivy, who helped her restore her appearance and resume a normal life.
After chatting for a while, Sharon felt a bit uncomfortable in her stomach. She told Ivy to wait a moment while she went to the bathroom.
Ivy waited for quite some time, but Sharon didn’t return.
Suddenly, Ivy began to panic.
Could something have happened?
She quickly called Sharon, but the only response was the cold voice of the operator: "The number you have dialed is temporarily unavailable, please try again later..."
Ivy immediately went out looking for her. Just then, Isaac was approaching with some desserts he had prepared for Sharon. Seeing Ivy, he politely asked, "Miss Kensington, is there something wrong?"
"Sharon is missing!"
The desserts in Isaac’s hand fell to the ground instantly, "Missing? How could that be..."
