"Well, yes, of course," Magee answered perfunctorily, as he looked around the hall, searching for someone.
Although it was clearly a half-hearted reply, Leona felt completely satisfied and happy. She was contented just as long as Magee would say he loved her, and she tried not to get bogged down in the details.
Life had put her through many harsh situations, and she's had to experience many difficulties to get to where she was. As a result, all she wanted now was for someone to love and someone who cherish her for who she was.
A few moments later, a woman walked into the hall and instantly attracted everyone's attention like a magnet. Everyone fell in silence, and they watched with eyes wide open, as she walked in with so much grace and confidence. It was as if the world had slowed down.
"Here she comes," Magee mumbled and smiled craftily.
"Who?" Driven by curiosity, Leona frowned and looked in the direction Magee was looking at with anticipation. She recognized who the woman was at first glance, and she couldn't believe her eyes. "Emily?" Leona asked speechless and shaking her head in disbelief.
What was Emily doing in Leona's engagement party?
She didn't invite Emily to the party!
Leona didn't intend to invite Emily because she was guilty of scheming to poison her. On one hand, Leona was afraid that Emily would create a scene and embarrass her in front of her friends. On the other hand, she was afraid that Jacob would unleash his wrath upon her for attempting to poison Emily. Leona knew very well that she was no match for neither of them.
Besides, who knew whether or not Emily would ruin her engagement party?
All of a sudden, Magee turned to face Leona as if he knew exactly what she was thinking. "I invited her for you," he said plainly, as if he didn't find it wrong to invite his fiancee's enemy to their engagement party.
"Magee, how could you..." Leona couldn't find the words to express her shock.
"You look like you've just seen a ghost. Why didn't you feel afraid when you were harming her? There's no need to feel afraid. I won't let anyone lay a finger on you, especially not Jacob. He can't afford to offend me or my dog," Magee reassured her.
Whether Leona was just pretending to be naive or not, she didn't feel offended by the fact that Magee likened her to his dog. Instead, she chose to believe that Magee was comforting her. She felt warm and safe when she heard Magee say that he would protect her. Funnily enough, she started to worry about Magee. "But I'm afraid that Jacob will do something to hurt you." she said to him, anxiously.
"Don't worry," Magee held her hand and gently caressed it, "If it comes to that, I will give you to them in exchange for my life. Then I will be fine."
Leona stood there frozen, as if paralyzed from the neck up. The warmth that was in her heart moments ago had dissipated. Pure terror surged through her veins, sending icy daggers straight to her heart. She felt like she was being held underwater, gasping for air, wi
stility, dying to rush towards her and rip her dress into pieces.
'She must have done it on purpose! She wants to provoke me! This is my engagement party! That bitch wore the same dress as mine deliberately to steal my thunder!' Leona thought wrathfully.
"Do you think that she's looking good?" Leona asked. Having noticed Magee's unwavering stare on Emily, Leona swallowed her anger and pretended to be indifferent, but it was in vain.
Needless to say, Magee had sensed her jealousy, so he looked away immediately and shook his head in denial. "No," he answered. Leona felt relieved to hear it, but her happiness didn't last long as she heard what Magee said next. "She's gorgeous."
Infuriated by Magee's words, Leona gritted her teeth and warned him, "Magee, don't forget, I am your fiancee, not her!"
Leona was about to say more, but she stopped herself when she saw Emily walking toward them. "Miss Leona, and Mr. Magee, I wish you two a happy and sweet life together!" Emily congratulated them with a smile.
In order not to make a scene at her own engagement party, Leona clenched her fists and cast aside her anger, even though she wanted to strangle Emily. She feigned a smile and replied politely, "Thank you so much, Miss Cloris."
"You're welcome," Emily replied, as she stepped forward to Leona.
Alarmed, Leona got increasingly nervous and stepped back. She was afraid that Emily would try to hurt her for what she had done to her. "What are you doing?" asked Leona, as her lips trembled with fear.
"What's wrong? Why are you so afraid of me?" Emily asked, and she burst out laughing. She looked extraordinarily attractive when she smiled, even more so when she laughed. However, Emily withdrew her smile and said coldly, "I just want to give my best wishes to Miss Leona, or should I say my former bestie, Rose. I wish her the just retribution she deserves for all those disgraceful things she did,"
Emily paused for a moment and added, "I pray that she rots in hell, alone and unloved."
