Chapter 245: Chapter 241

Ariel’s face turned even uglier when she heard that. I had said the very thing she didn’t want to hear That Damon was making moves on me.

Nancy, on the other hand, was quite chill. She gave Ariel’s hand a light pat and said in a motherly tone, "Ariel, why so sensitive? Ms. Brooks is Damon’s ex-wife. It’s perfectly normal for divorced couples to stay friends. Aren’t you here today as well?"

Right. Ariel had never set foot in Damon’s apartment before. The fact that she was here now meant Damon had given his approval. This indicated a change in their relationship

Damon was as fickle as ever. I could never figure out what he was up to

"Okay, Mom." Ariel said, snapping back to her obedient self after listening to Nancy

I didn’t give a hoot about what Nancy was talking about. After seeing Damon step out, I went straight into my own yard and didn’t look back.

Ariel’s clear and sweet voice was filled with joy as she exclaimed, "Damon""

I pretended not to hear her and quickly walked into the living room, shutting the door behind me.

I couldn’t care less about whatever was happening next door

It was late, and there was sleet everywhere outside. The bare tree branches in the winter night looked extra bleak. I poured myself a glass of red wine. planning to hit the sack after finishing it.

"Ding"

My phone chimed. It was a message from Zoe Before I could read it, her voice call came through.

"Eliana, has Damon lost his marbles? He actually invited Ariel and Nancy over for dinner?" Zoe sounded really pissed off when I picked up the call.

"How did you find out?" I asked.

"I’m friends with Ariel on Instagram. She posted a photo. This is so annoying" Zoe rarely got this mad, her voice was noticeably louder

Though she was outgoing and straightforward, she seldom showed such extreme emotions. Being a rich kid, she had her manners.

Damon’s move had obviously baffled her

Curious, I asked, "How did you become friends with Ariel on Instagram?"

Zoe responded, "She added me. She got my contact information from one of my friends. But she probably doesn’t know who I am yet so she always acts high and mighty in front of me"

Ah, I see Ariel probably added Zoe because she was often seen with Damon and felt threatened.

"I heard Coleman Co. and Soul Enterprises are going to collaborate That’s probably why they had a meal together" I sounded more composed compared to her

"That’s why I think he’s gone cuckoo. Do you think he’s being blackmailed by that mother-daughter duo" Zoe was probably filled with questions.

Damon’s future behavior might confuse her even more. I reassured her a few times and hung up.

When I woke up the next morning, I saw a message Zoe had sent me late at night, "Thank god Ariel didn’t stay the night at his place, or I would’ve definitely stopped pursuing him".

I yawned, gave a bitter smile, and put down my phone to wash up.

Damon reconnecting with Ariel was a relief for me. They were causing less trouble for me, almost none at this time.

It was the end of the year, so he was already pretty busy. I didn’t see him until the day Sofia and her boyfriend held their wedding.

Soul Enterprises announced that Coleman Co. had invested in them, and they had jointly set up a charity foundation to help young patients with heart-related diseases get treatment or heart transplants.

I heaved a sigh of relief. As long as they didn’t go after my company, I was good,

Because of the cold weather outside, Sofia’s wedding was held in a hotel.

Sofia chose me, Luna, and Clara as her bridesmaids.

Loads of guests attended the wedding To our surprise, Damon and Jones showed up too,

"I didn’t invite them. Did they just show up on their own?" Sofia found time to discuss the situation with me.

"Well, since they’re here, you’ll get two more wedding gifts." I replied with a laugh.

Luna locked at me sympathetically, "Eliana, Sofia might get gifts, but you might be in a bit of a pickle. Your ex-husband and ex-boyfriend are about to meet."

Before I could respond, Clara rushed over, "Ugh! What a mood killer! Why did Ariel and Nancy have to show up on such a good day?"

Sofias eyes widened in surprise, "My parents must’ve invited them. I told them not to... Why?"

Our parents knew about our disputes, but they wouldn’t intervene much. They wouldn’t stop doing business or mingling because of it.

Sofia was about to confront her parents, I stopped her, "It’s fine. Ariel might have issues with me, but not with your family. It’s normal for your parents to invite them"

"But" Sofia frowned

"The wedding is about to start. Today is your big day. Don’t mind those people "I told Sofia

Sofia finally gave up on confronting her parents and focused on waiting for the wedding ceremony to start

As bridesmaids, we followed Sofia onto the stage. Since all four of us graduated from the music department of university, we decided to perform "Wedding March" as the wedding background music.

As I picked up the cello, I glanced at the guests below the stage. Despite the crowd, I spotted Damon instantly.

He sat at a relatively distant spot. On one side of him was Cooper, and on the other were Ariel and Karen.

Ariel was wearing a light blue dress today, looking quite delicate. She was leaning slightly towards Damon. From my angle, they looked like a couple

When I looked into the crowd again, my eyes landed on Jones. He was seated near the stage, so I had a clear view of his much thinner figure and the added gloominess in his eyes. He was staring right at me.

Scarlett, sitting next to him, looked quite anxious, as if she were worried about something.

As the music kicked in, the wedding ceremony started. Watching Sofia and her fiance exchange rings filled my heart with bitterness.

"Any single ladies in the house? The emcee suddenly asked, "For those hopeful ladies looking for their Mr. Right, get ready! The bride is about to toss the bouquet"

This was a part of the plan. Both Sofia and her fiance were big fans of this tradition. A bunch of unmarried female guests stood up, marching towards the stage, ready to catch the bouquet.

But what took us all by surprise was Ariel getting up too. When she got to the front of the crowd, Sofia’s face turned sour.

Ariel purposely came over to me, flashing a smile, "Eliana, can I stand next to you? I think this spot is pretty good."

"Whatever" I replied coldly.

Sofia, not wanting to throw a tantrum in front of everyone, had to endure this awkward situation. She turned her back to us and tossed the bouquet over her shoulder.
