The old lady slapped herself multiple times across the face.
Michelle continued to stare at her, but did not change her mind.
The commotion at the entrance had caught the attention of many guests in the hall.
Relatives, friends
and even the youngsters were shocked to see the bossy and arrogant old lady slap herself in front of a
young girl.
The old lady usually acted as if she was an empress, so this was quite a shock to many. Though some
of
them did feel slightly satisfied, especially the brideâs family.
They knew how prejudiced the groomâs
family was towards them, always looking down on and insulting them harshly. Yet, they had to control
themselves from clapping and cheering.
The old lady was a harsh person in general. She was harsh towards Amanda, but she was harsh
towards
herself as well.
Michelle was still staring at her coldly. Everyone from Yowell Group was watching her as if they were
enjoying the show. The old lady immediately started grovelling and kowtowing to Michelle.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Loud thuds echoed through the hall as the old lady had no intention of stopping despite her forehead
bleeding. The old man was more rational. He grabbed Amanda by the arm and said, âOh Amanda, I
know
weâve been unfair to you. I know youâre mad at us, but please speak up. Heâs your friend, isnât he? If
you
help us, I promise we will treat you like youâre our biological daughter.â
Amanda nodded gently and turned to Alex. âAlex, can⦠Can youâ¦â
Alex replied, âAmanda, donât be afraid, weâre on your side. Since this old lady isnât treating you well, Iâll
stand up for you.â
In the end, Dorothy had to lean in and whisper softly. âI think thatâs enough, itâs Amandaâs wedding after
all. Do you want her to not get married?â
Alex nodded and whispered into Michelleâs ear. Michelle gestured to the old lady dismissively. âAlright,
thatâs enough, get up.â
The old lady was dizzy from all the kowtows, but she still had her priorities straight. âMs. Yowell, does
that mean⦠My son wonât be fired?â
Michelle shot a dirty glare at her. âWhen did I say that?â
Michelle huffed coldly and turned to Jaxon. âFrom now on, you will be demoted to a position three
ranks lower.â
Jaxon exclaimed sorrowfully.
Three ranks lower would mean that he was just a normal employee.
However, Michelle was not done with her announcement yet. âIâll hire your wife to fill in your original
position.
Amanda Halls, youâre Alexâs schoolmate, so youâre my friend as well. Come work at Yowell
Group in a week! From now on, youâre one of us. If this family were to bully you at any point, just let me
know and I wonât let them hear the end of it.â
Amanda was shocked. âI⦠But I⦠Donât know how to do anything.â
Michelle replied. âSomeone will teach you everything you need to know. Alright, letâs get on with the
wedding! Get us another table, weâll sit here.â
The McKellers were still in a state of shock, but they still thanked Michelle greatly.
Michelle leaned forward and whispered into Alexâs ear.
âHow did I do?â
Alex nodded. âAmazing.â
After the ill treatment from the McKellens, Amanda was definitely going to be living a much more
blissful life with such a trump card in hand. Her in-laws would have to suck up to her as well.
Michelle took a glance at Dorothy and turned to Alex. âSo how are you going to thank me for this?â
Alex smiled. âWhat do you want?â
Michelle boldly pointed towards her cheek and asked in front of everyone, âWhy donâ t you give me a
kiss?â
Dorothyâs expression immediately turned ice cold.
