around.
One of the rich girls reacted dismissively upon hearing Celia’s name and sarcastically remarked, “Oh, that illegitimate daughter, Celia. I almost forgot her
name.
“Why are you asking about that love child on such a joyful day, Natalie?” someone asked indifferently.
Natalie’s eyes glowed, and her mouth curved into a mocking smile. “Well, I just want her to get a good look and recognize the difference between a legitimate daughter and a noble one. Dad mentioned that she would be here.”
Natalie avoided the mistresses and looked down on illegitimate daughters like the rest of the

Upon hearing such comments, the crowd expressed their thoughts one a another, assuring Natalie, “Don’t worry, Natalie. If we see her, we’ll definitely. teach her a lesson and ensure she has a pleasant day.””
They emphasized the last few words, making their intention clear.
Natalie breathed a sigh of relief. Some matters didn’t require her personal involvement, as there would always be people willing to take care of it for her.
She thought poorly of Celia, thinking that she was insignificant and not at all comparable to herself.
“Is someone looking for me?” Just then, a soft female voice echoed through the
room.
Although the voice wasn’t loud, everyone in the room heard it clearly.

A casually dressed woman appeared at the entrance, drawing everyone’s
attention. Her choice of a shirt and jeans stood out in stark contrast to the formal. attire of the bridesmaids and the bride inside.
Despite her cold and nonchalant demeanor, her slightly lowered gaze caught the eye of everyone present.
After a brief pause, Natalie smiled and remarked, “Well, speaking of the devil… Why did you come dressed so casually? It’s my wedding day, you know.”
Celia responded calmly, “So what? What’s wrong with my casual clothes?”
A young woman standing next to Natalie openly taunted, saying, “This is the

wedding of members from the Burton and Nelson families. You must be aware of your inferior status. You should consider renting one if you don’t own at formal dress. Why did you come here dressed like that?”
“OK, stop mocking her,” another girl chimed in immediately. “She probably can’t afford even a wedding gift for Natalie, let alone a dress.”
“She definitely can’t! This is a wedding involving the Burton and Nelson families! The couple has received millions in wedding gifts, and I’m sure Celia couldn’t come up with that much money even if we sold her.”
Though the voices of the group of ladies were soft and gentle, their words. dripped with malice.
Natalie smiled slightly and motioned to Celia, saying, “Celia, don’t worry. Despite you’re the illegitimate daughter of the Burton family, you’re still my half–sister. I have specifically prepared a few dresses for you.”
The girls standing nearby were taken aback, their eyes wide with surprise. “Natalie, you’re so nice to her. You really prepared dresses for the illegitimate. daughter?” one of them asked.
“Of course! She is still part of our Burton family, so we can’t allow her to look shabby. And all of you, make sure to take care of her and make her have a good time,” Natalie replied.
The women looked at each other as if they had deciphered a secret message in Natalie’s words.
Conversely, Celia never changed her expression and seemed completely uninterested in what they were saying.
When Natalie clapped her hands, several people entered the room with many. dresses.
“Take a look, Celia. You can choose whichever set you like,” Natalie advised.
A girl walked up to them carrying a sexy dress. The dress was seductively black, with a plunging neckline and open back. Although the fabric was of high quality, whoever wearing it would certainly attract attention, possibly even hostile gazes.
“Natalie has such impeccable taste. Only someone like Celia is deserving of such dresses,” one of the women remarked.
“Like mother, like

The row of dresses primarily consisted of provocative styles, and it was clear that Natalie had indeed given considerable thought to the selection.
Celia took a brief glance at the dresses but quickly averted her eyes. “I don’t need. them,” she stated firmly.
“Where do you get the guts to refuse? Don’t flatter yourself, Celia. You’re nothing but a love child.” one of the women sneered.
Someone else chimed in, “Natalie wants you to wear it, so you have to put it on!”
With that, a group of girls gathered around Celia, their expressions filled with disdain.
One woman pulled out the sexiest outfit intending to put it on for Celia, while another woman attempted to take off Celia’s clothes.
Natalie stood by, observing with a malicious smile in her eyes. “Celia, I’m doing this for your own good. Otherwise, if you dress so plainly, it will surely embarrass our father,” she declared.
“Come on! Put it on!” the group insisted.
