Chapter 424 - Frankly Painful

At this moment, Chris stood up with difficulty and walked over to Tom who couldn't stop smiling. The man was seen while holding the cigarette between his fingers then said sarcastically, "We don't need your introduction, we all know her already!"

Tom just smiled when responding, "Chris, this is different! Indeed, all of you have known Sasha before, but the woman I introduce now is my fiancée!"

Then he unconsciously pulled Sasha into his arms. "Do you agree my dear?"

Sasha raised Tom's hand and broke free from his embrace. She smiled and pushed him away. "Don't overdo it, maybe they're a little pissed off because we're late."

Tom ignored Sasha's refusal and kept holding her hand. He then turned a little and pointed to the photos on the wall. "This is a little surprise for you, do you like it?"

When Sasha looked in the direction Tom was pointing, her expression turned into a shock.

At the end of the day, she was still a woman. She would be lying if she said she wasn't touched by what Tom had done for her. The countless pictures of her from her childhood to her present day were arranged on the wall, along with Tom's and their pictures together.

She didn't think that Tom could do such a romantic thing.

However, when Sasha was still immersed in her feelings, Vivi looked at the photo wall and muttered to Lilia, "Lilia, isn't this the same in your house?"

Hearing this, Sasha's expression suddenly changed!

Vivi spoke as quietly as possible to Lilia when all eyes were on the photo wall.

Sasha's touched face suddenly sank as she glared at Vivi. She then smiled and asked her, "What do you mean to say that?"

She was touched by this photo wall that Tom made for her a second ago, but how could this girl say something like that? Her words sounded like she was making fun of Tom's romantic efforts.

Making fun?

She was telling the truth! Obviously, these pictures were arranged exactly the same as the one in Lilia's house!

At this time, Vivi casually put a piece of melon into her mouth. While chewing, she muttered, "I'm telling you the truth, this photo wall is definitely a copy of Lilia's masterpiece! If necessary, you can go to her house to check it out."

Sasha's heart shook, she immediately glared at Tom with a look of disbelief.

Tom himself did not expect Vivi to be so straightforward like that.

While pretending to look calm, he embraced Sasha's shoulders and turned to look at Lilia with a smile. "Sis Lilia, I…. I really couldn't think of a good way to surprise my beloved fiancée. I borrowed your photo wall idea that you prepared for Jean because I thought it was the most romantic way to express love. Do you not approve it?"

Lilia looked at Sasha, the supermodel then smiled and said, "It's okay. I approve it,"

After all, it was just a photo wall and Lilia didn't really care if someone copied it.

However, after hearing Vivi's words earlier, it was clear that the good impression Sasha felt towards the photo wall had disappeared. It seemed like it would be a very difficult task for Tom to return Sasha's mood after she found out that he'd copied Lilia's idea.

Even so, Sasha still looked calm and kept silent. After being led by Tom to the sofa, Sasha took a wine glass and poured herself before taking a sip. Her face was filled with disappointment.

Tom was aware of Sasha's annoyed expression, but he could only raise his wineglass and invite everyone to toast together. With this, the awkward atmosphere became lively again.

After that, Tom came to Lilia and smiled while holding his wineglass. "Sis Lilia, I want us to toast your kindness. If it weren't for your photo wall that inspired me, I probably wouldn't be having a banquet party tonight."

Lilia took the wine glass on the table and toasted Tom. "You don't have to praise me too much, I hope… your engagement will bring a life full of blessings."

Lilia could clearly see that Tom's eyes were filled with joy, he was really happy that he was engaged to Sasha.

But everyone knew that Sasha had feelings for Jean. There's no way Tom couldn't have realized it. However, people assumed that Sasha chose to get engaged because she was tired of chasing and didn't want to live alone anymore.

Lilia sipped her wine and so did Tom. After that, Tom looked at Vivi who was beside Lilia. His eyes were filled with hatred and his tone wasn't very good when he said, "If I had known that you couldn't keep your mouth shut for just a moment, maybe I shouldn't have insisted on inviting you beforehand."

Vivi stopped taking her wine glass when she heard Tom's sarcasm. With his arrogant face, Tom took a sip of his wine and said in a cold tone, "Do you need to say something like that on this special day? Are you not happy like the others?"

His rage made a lot of sense.

He didn't mind the fact that he was copying Lilia's photo wall idea. What he didn't like was that Vivi decided to expose this fact on his special day. It was really awkward for both him and Sasha.

But for Vivi, Tom had been bewitched by Sasha. Obviously he was using his fiancée as a weapon to vent his irritation! She would never forget when she met Sasha. That day, that woman was so disgusting that she kept clinging to Jean! 

Even so, Vivi was not offended by Tom's insinuation just now. She narrowed her eyes and then walked towards the sofa while humming. 

This scene never escaped Sasha's eagle eyes.

She narrowed her eyes and continued to stare at Vivi, Rachel and Lilia with grim eyes.

Not long after, Sasha leaned forward slightly. She picked up a new wine glass from the table, and walked over to Sara's side. When she handed the wine glass to her, she smiled and said, "Sara, why are you sitting here alone?"

Sara looked at the glass in front of her but didn't take it. "Didn't you invite me today so you can make me look stupid? Why do you still dare to ask me like that?"

The smile on Sasha's lips gradually hardened. She looked at the wine glass in her hand and put it back on the table casually. "Why do you think like that? Tom and I invited all of our acquaintances to this party. Why are you accusing me like that?"

Sara stared at her in disgust, she unconsciously gripped the armrest of her couch. "So you are pretending to be nice in front of me? Are you so happy when you think you can play me like a monkey? Wasn't it your purpose to invite me so I can help you deal with Lilia tonight? I can still clearly remember what happened before!"

"At that time, you were the one who let me clash with Lilia and you were the one who made my life so messy! Do you know how much I've been suffering all this time? My father and I were confined in our family's house for more than half a month because of you. And what happened during that time? Right, you're engaged! While I suffer, do you still dare to live freely and chase after Tom's heart? You think I'll let you live happily like that?"
