The Mistress crashed the wedding - Chapter 2
The sharp crack of the slap silenced everyone .
All eyes turned to us .
Ethans head was turned to the side from the force of the blow .
He seemed stunned , unable to react .
Anna let out a piercing shriek .
She threw herself at Ethan , wailing as if her parents had died .
Ethan , are you okay ? How could she be so cruel ! Mr.
Guthrie finally snapped out of their shock .
Guthries face turned livid .
You may be from a good family , but how could you resort to violence ? he scolded me .
Guthrie dabbed at her eyes , glaring daggers at me .
Ethan came back to his senses and moved to retaliate .
My father quickly pulled me behind him protectively .
Ethan Guthrie , dont you dare lay a hand on her ! he warned .
Ethan halted , his chest heaving with barely contained fury .
But he wasnt so far gone as to actually strike my father .
The child began crying loudly , frightened by all the commotion .
Anna frantically tried to comfort him while continuing her dramatic performance .
Miss Moore , please dont be angry .
I only came for the childs sake .
I never meant to ruin your relationship , she sobbed , her body shaking .
If youre willing to raise little Sky , I promise Ill never appear before you again .
Ethan looked at her with concern before turning to glare at me reproachfully .
As if I was being unreasonable by not agreeing , as if I was committing some great sin .
I found it laughable that even at this point , Ethan still thought we could get married .
I clapped my hands together mockingly .
Ethan Guthrie , our engagement is over .
Congratulations , were both free now .
His eyes widened in anger as he jabbed a finger at me .
Stella Moore , are you still a child ? Dont you realize canceling our engagement will have huge consequences for both our companies ? Of course Ethan didnt believe I would actually call off the engagement .
He still thought I was just throwing a tantrum , acting like a spoiled rich girl .
He regretted not hiding Anna and the child better .
At the very least , he should have waited until after the wedding to bring little Sky home .
I regarded him coldly .
Consequences ? Did you think about the consequences when you were fooling around with her ? Anna listened from the side , a smug smile playing on her lips .
Ethan remained dismissive .
So what ? Which man in our circles doesnt have a mistress on the side ? At those words , both sets of parents expressions changed .
Especially Mrs. Guthries .
Guthrie had quite the reputation as a womanizer in his younger days , even fathering several illegitimate children .
Though the situations had been handled , Mrs.
Guthrie was still sensitive about the topic .
Remembering this , her gaze toward Anna turned hostile .
This woman was no different from those vixens who had seduced her husband .
Just then , a few paparazzi started snapping photos .
They whispered amongst themselves : Big news ! The Guthrie heir and Moore heiress are finished .
Mistress crashes wedding with love child what juicy upper class drama ! Hearing this , Mrs. Guthries expression darkened further .
What are you standing around for ? Take your son and go home .
Stop embarrassing us here ! she snapped at Ethan .
With a final glare at Anna , Mrs.
Guthrie stormed off .
Guthrie , knowing the situation well , followed without comment .
Anna was taken aback by Mrs.
Guthries sudden change in attitude .
She huddled closer to Ethan , looking pitiful .
Ethan glared at me one last time before leaving with little Sky in his arms .
I watched their retreating figures , lost in thought .
On the surface , the Guthrie family seemed just as prestigious as the Moores .
But in reality , their business had been declining in recent years.
