Marrying The Supposed Gold Digger (Valerie)



Meanwhile, at Resburn County in Vomez, the process of a group wedding was more complicated than a regular one. Not only did Katherine act as a bridesmaid, but she also acted as an impromptu emcee.

After waiting so long for the meal of the wedding reception to start, she finally got off the stage. Her throat felt extremely dry, so she hurriedly grabbed hold of a nearby waiter and said, "Excuse me, can I have a glass of water, please?"

The waiter was stunned for a moment before saying, "I'm sorry, Miss. I'm here to serve alcoholic drinks and fruit juice. Would you like a glass of fruit juice?"

Katherine cast a sideways glance at his side, thinking, 'It's either peanut milk or orange juice. I'm so darn thirsty now. Drinking something that makes my throat sticky may cause me to be unable to speak!

Just then, a voice came from behind.

"Thirsty? Take it."

Dylan was holding a disposable plastic cup filled with water and walking over unsteadily.

Katherine turned her head away and said, "It's okay."

Dylan was displeased. "Didn't you want to drink water?" he said. "This is water. How come you refuse to drink it?"

Katherine sneered and said, "Mr. Hart, I don't dare to drink anything you offer. Given our relationship, even if you didn't spit in the water, adding anything else would be more than I can handle."

"Damn!" Dylan said. His face darkened immediately. His eyes were burning with anger. It was unknown if he was angry or if something had hit his raw nerve.

Katherine ignored him. She lifted the hem of her skirt and walked toward the hotel lobby. The hotel had been booked by the coal magnate today. While the outside was set up for the buffet, the inside of the hotel was deserted. Katherine intended to look for a waiter and ask for water. She did not conceal her disdain for Dylan in her words.

Dylan had been humiliated by Katherine twice today. He was so angry that he crushed the disposable cup.

At this moment, he overheard a few men beside him whispering as they pointed at Katherine's back.

"Is that lady over there the bridesmaid for today's wedding? She's not bad-looking. She's prettier than many brides. How come I didn't see her before?"

"I didn't see her before either. I guess the boss specifically spent money to invite her over to liven things up. Why? You've taken a fancy to her, huh? Your taste ain't bad."

"Why don't we... Haha..."

Those few men lowered their heads and said something. In the end, they reached an agreement and stood up one after another. They walked toward the hotel with a furtive expression. A glint of shrewdness flashed across Dylan's eyes. He poured himself two glasses of alcohol and followed them.

Katherine did not know what was going on outside. After drinking some water in the pantry, she felt more comfortable. She took her phone and looked at it. It was only then that she realized that there were a lot of missed calls. They were all from Valerie.

"Valerie?" she said.

She was startled, thinking that something had happened. Just as she was about to call Valerie back, she heard a series of footsteps outside the pantry.

Right after that, a group of drunken men blocked the entrance to the pantry.

"Who are you people?" Katherine said as she frowned with displeasure.

"Young girl, my buddies... hic... said they want to add you on WhatsApp..." These drunkards were even burping when they spoke. Their alcohol-laden breath made Katherine frown immediately.

"I'm sorry," Katherine said. "I don't add strangers on WhatsApp. Please move aside." As she spoke, she tried to push them away and squeeze through.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

"Hey, don't go. Young girl, you're quite proud. Why are you so disrespectful?" One of the drunkards immediately blocked her path, his face revealing a greasy and ugly smile. "Aren't you hired by the boss? Showing us such disrespect. You had better watch out. We'll complain to the boss and ask him not to pay you, okay?"

What Katherine hated the most in her life was people using money to intimidate her.

She immediately sneered and clasped her fists. "Sure. I'd love to know how much your boss can give me," she said. "Hurry up and get lost. I'm only here to help out of respect for the brides. It's a joyous occasion. If you continue to talk nonsense, don't blame me for being rude!"

These men did not expect her to be so imposing. They were immediately intimidated. Just as they were about to step back, someone behind them suddenly blurted out, "You said it yourself. Today is a joyous occasion, so of course it has to be lively. We're here to fool around with the bridesmaids."

Liquor emboldened the timid.

With that said, these men suddenly seemed to have found the core strength to rely on and immediately echoed.

"Yep. Yep. We're here to fool around with the bridesmaids!"

"Young girl, we're here to have fun with you!"

The man in the leading position among the group of men, who had just been scolded by Katherine, was buoyed by the effects of alcohol. He went straight toward her and lifted her.
