At that moment, I finally understood that Orion had not made me his best man just to show off in front of our old classmates.
This was far worse than I had anticipated!
Evelyn was the first to react, leaping to her feet in delight. Clapping her hands, she exclaimed, "Oh, this is wonderful! If my disgrace of a son can marry Isla's sister, it would be the greatest fortune of his life. He must have suffered for eight lifetimes to deserve this happiness!"
"Vincent, Orion always has your best interests in mind! Why don't you thank him properly?"
Seeing how excited Evelyn was, laughter suddenly filled the room.
"Haha! The bootlicker finally licked his way to success by marrying the landowner's idiot daughter!"
"But hey, isn't that a blessing? She's still part of the Elander Family, so he technically married into wealthy Elander Family!"
"This is brilliant! Vincent's dream finally came true. He made it into a rich family!"
I remained silent and my face was emotionless. My eyes were cold as I stared at the scene indifferently.
Isla's voice broke through, dripping with sarcasm. "What? Are you upset about marrying my sister?"
"Weren't you always so desperate to marry into our family?"
"Are you so overwhelmed with joy that you can't speak now?"
Still, I said nothing, but Evelyn stormed toward me, grabbing my head roughly. She forced me into a bow before Orion.
