Wedding Dress Betrayal Finding Love With His Uncle novel Chapter 12

Chapter 12

## Chapter 12: I’m Disgusted.

“How long are you going to keep this going?”

“Ryan is the most outstanding one of his generation in the Lewis family. He could have anyone, right? The fact that he’d even look at you, let alone agree to marry you, should be more than enough for you”

“Seriously, go take a look around. Which guy in this whole scene isn’t chasing more women than Ryan? Plus, the one with Ryan is Skylar – that’s good for you, not bad. So just stop with the drama, already.”

“Otherwise, people will start saying I don’t know how to raise my daughter.”

Britney froze for a second, almost wondering if she’d traveled back in time to some archaic, feudal society from centuries ago. The values and ideas these people had were so ridiculous they were almost laughable. What did Skylar willingly being a scandalous third wheel have to do with Britney accepting it? Ryan betrayed her relationship and sugarcoated everything, acting all hypocritical and arrogant. Why should Britney have to accept it all blindly? Why should she play along with the twisted rules of the so–called upper crust?

“Yeah, I’m done with the drama, alright, because Ryan and I are over. Whatever he does now has nothing to do with me.” Britney said, looking at Jackson. “If you only tricked me into coming back to talk about this, then I think we can stop talking now.”

Jackson was used to having the last word at home, so he never expected his usually quiet eldest daughter to openly defy him like this. “What did you say?”

“I said, I’m not marrying Ryan. I just think…” Britney’s gaze landed on Skylar, cool and disdainful, “he’s disgusting.”

Skylar’s eyes blazed with hatred. Was Britney mocking her? How dare she? Skylar clenched her hands, her knuckles turning white from the effort, just to maintain her outwardly fragile and wronged demeanor. “Britney, you’re still mad at me, aren’t you?”

“I didn’t mean to, it was Ryan… and I was also thinking about the Simpson family.” Skylar’s eyes welled up, and she grabbed Britney’s arm again. “Otherwise, I’ll go tell Ryan I won’t see him anymore. Don’t let me ruin your relationship.”

Britney felt a sharp pain in her arm. Skylar’s freshly manicured nails dug deep into her skin. Britney pushed her away. Skylar conveniently tumbled to the floor, knocking over a cup of tea. She shrieked, clutching her shoulder. Britney clearly saw her vigorously rub her palm over it twice…

“Skylar!” Allison panicked, helping Skylar up.

Jackson stood up almost simultaneously, harshly grabbing Britney’s arm and shoving her aside. Britney didn’t even have time to react before she slammed hard against the marble coffee table beside her. A searing pain instantly spread throughout her body. She braced herself on the sofa, trying to stand up, but then a

stinging slap landed on her face. She looked up to see Allison, her eyes red, declaring hatefully. “Is this how you treat your young sister?”

“You’re still defending her?” Allison’s eyes were full of heartache. “But she doesn’t care about you at knew the tea was still hot and still pushed you into it.”

Britney’s face felt like it was on fire, and her waist, which had hit the marble edge, was throbbing But none of it seemed as bad as the suffocating ache in her chest, making it almost impossible to breathe. Because of that slap, her left ear was ringing. Allison’s accusations and Skylar’s ‘distress‘ filled her ears, two voices overlapping, fighting inside her head,

“Skylar, you can’t always be so kind. No matter how good you are to her, she’ll never appreciate it. If she hadn’t insisted on fighting you for him, you’d be the

one marrying Ryan right now.”

“She has no right to hold a grudge like this, acting like the whole family is begging her.”

Britney shook her head, trying to get rid of the headache–inducing ringing, but it had no effect. Her vision swam slightly, and she just wanted to get out of there as fast as possible.

“Stop.” It was Jackson’s furious voice.

Britney didn’t stop. She needed quiet. In such a noisy environment, her left ear would only get worse. But he didn’t notice. Jackson’s face became even darker and more menacing at being ignored. “Grab her!”

As Jackson’s words fell, a few bodyguards stepped forward and seized Britney tightly. Take her back to her room and lock her in. She’s not allowed out without my permission.”

The Simpson family bodyguards acknowledged the order, then dragged Britney upstairs. Britney tried to struggle, but the bodyguards didn’t give her any chance, roughly pulling her along. It was clear even they knew that in the Simpson household, there was no need to be particularly polite to “the young lady

The ringing in Britney’s head intensified with her struggles, not stopping even when she was thrown into her room. She could only curl up to find some comfort. She gasped for air, even though the room was quiet, it was incredibly noisy in her left car. She could only hug herself, trying to relax and let the ringing gradually
