Chapter 687 Do You Think I Have No Standards
Before long, the news of a daughter of the Joneses marrying a hoodlum spread through the city like
wildfire. The instant the netizens saw Charles' picture, they couldn't understand how such a guy could
do better than them.
Given that Avery chose to marry a guy like that, it was evident money wasn't the reason. If it was about
his personality, it would simply mean that she had no standards at all.
Furthermore, the wedding was also organized in a hurry. Once Avery had agreed to it, she was brought
to try wedding gowns the next day and was taken to the wedding venue the day after.
Staring in the mirror, she saw herself in a white wedding dress with her face covered by a veil. She had
fantasized about her wedding many times where the groom was someone exceptional.
Never in her wildest dreams did she expect herself to fall into such circumstances. After all, she had no
illusion as to what kind of person Charles was.
As the makeup artist helped Avery freshen up her makeup, Irene watched on with tears welling up in
her eyes.
She choked helplessly, “Avery, I know you're not doing this willingly. But I'm powerless to help you.
Even though your uncle is someone influential, he has decided to not get involved after learning that
this was Tobias' plan.”
Avery closed her eyes gradually as tears flowed out of them. This is just great. Even my birth parents All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
can't help me.
At that moment, she clearly saw that everything in life boiled down to self-interest. That even her own
parents couldn't be relied upon.
She opened her eyes and asked, “Is Tobias here already?”
The moment Irene heard Tobias' name, she was filled with hatred. That man is a demon with a heart
made of stone! He is willing to resort to such despicable methods just to please Skylar.
Unable to bear the humiliation, Irene planned to leave before the wedding started.
When she saw Thomas at the ballroom entrance, she noticed that his face showed no sign of any pride
that his daughter was getting married. Instead, he furrowed his brows in frustration.
Outraged by his actions, she walked up to him and gave him a forceful slap.
Trembling from anger, she scowled, “How can you bring yourself to sell your daughter out? I can't
imagine what other despicable acts you're capable of.”
Even though they were divorced, Irene actually had plans to reconcile with him once he apologized to
her.
But now, she was simply disgusted over what he had done.
Thomas insisted on defending himself. “If you had allowed me to bring Skylar back in the beginning, all
this wouldn't even have happened.”
When Irene saw that Thomas was still making excuses for himself, she regretted making the mistake of
marrying such a man in the first place.
Meanwhile, Avery had called Tobias to her side. Since she still refused to accept what was going on, he
reckoned he needed to make her understand why.
At the moment, Avery's eyes were swollen from crying, for that was the only way she could express
how indignant and wronged she felt.
She kept asking Tobias why repeatedly.
Sitting on the sofa in the dressing room, Tobias replied, “You actually look stunning in the wedding
gown. Anyway, what do you mean why? You're simply reaping what you sowed. I'm sure I have made
myself clear.”
Avery's eyes were filled with tears. “Why isn't Skylar here yet? Hasn't she longed to see me be
humiliated? Well, this time, she has finally gotten her wish.”
Tobias answered, “She's on a flight to Beskary and has asked me to congratulate you on your
wedding.”
Suddenly, Avery tore off her veil and stepped forward to hug Tobias.
When he retreated to avoid her, Avery ended up hugging thin air instead. With her arms wrapped
around her chest, she pleaded, “Let me be with you, please? I beg of you Mr. Ford, please let me be
with you. I'm willing to be your slave as long as I don't have to marry that b*stard.”
Tobias looked at her with disdain. “Do you think I have no standards? It's time for you to wake up. This
matter is inevitable. There's no escape for you.”
Collapsing onto the ground, Avery looked at Tobias in despair.
