"Why are you here?" Emily's eyes reddened when she saw her father. She hated him and wished to destroy him even at the cost of her own life. 
Anthony asked coldly, "Did Iris come to see you today?"
"Hmph, just keep a tight grip on your daughter." Emily thought Anthony came here to apologize.
"She will be married to Lucas in a few days. If she asks you to attend the wedding, you must attend it. Don't let her down. It's only once in her life. I don't want to see her being disappointed."
Emily refuted angrily, "Why should I hurt myself to please her? That's your business, not mine. I don't have to please her."
"If you don't go, I'll stop paying your mother's medical bills. Think about the consequences, carefully," Anthony snorted.
Emily couldn't believe her ears, "Anthony, be a man, okay? Do you really have to corner me like this?"
"You can just go to the wedding ceremony. You're Iris's older sister. You should make her happy, especially when her requirement is not a big deal."
Emily was furious at his words.
She used to be too stupid and naive. Although she started working a year ago, she had an outstanding performance and a good salary. But she was so naive that she left only a small portion of the salary to herself and gave the rest to Anthony.
He said he would help her save the money, partly for her mother's medical treatment and partly as a dowry when she got married.
She didn't expect it to become a condition for him to threaten her.
"Okay, I'll go." Emily said through gritted teeth.
Anthony left with satisfaction. Emily went to her mother's ward. When she saw her scrawny mother lying on the bed, she couldn't help but cry loudly.
After that, she grabbed a taxi to the most prestigious five-star hotel in the city and walked in after showing the invitation letter to the security.
The wedding photo of Lucas and Iris was placed at the entrance, and decorated with big golden letters of "Congratulations on the Newly-wed". How ironic. This hotel was where she had lost her virginity to a strange man.  It's like everything was destined.
The wedding was over, and Emily was already late. She went in to greet Anthony and Elena first, indicating that she was here. But they showed cold eyes to her.
Lucas's parents were a little embarrassed when they saw Emily. She forced a smile and said calmly as she could, "I have to go back to the office, so tell Lucas and Iris that I've stopped by and wish them a happy marriage."
"Okay! Bye!" Mrs. Wright answered immediately.
Lucas had taken Emily to meet his family before, so Mrs. Wright knew she's his ex-girlfriend. It would only be awkward for her to show up on Lucas's wedding. No doubt Mrs. Wright didn't want her to stay here anymore.
Emily breathed a sigh of relief. As she approached the exit, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure in the corner of her eye.
Her face turned white instantly and her body involuntarily trembled.
What a coincidence! Why was he here?
Watching the man walking towards her, Emily immediately turned around and left.
But...
"Sis, why are you leaving? You haven't congratulated me in person yet?" Iris, this bitch, showed up and held her back.
Emily gritted her teeth in anger and whispered behind her back, "Iris, let me go. Don't make me do something embarrassing you. You'll surely regret it."
Iris froze and subconsciously loosed her hand.
Emily sighed out of relief, when the man's voice came from behind, "Who is this young lady?"
"Mr. Brent, this is my elder sister, Emily." Iris immediately pulled Emily over to introduce her to Franklin.
