Chapter 2 How Can You Be Interested In Your Brother-in-law

'Escape!' Gillian's eyes widened, and she tried to spring up only to get pulled back by heavy shackles. "Ugh." She groaned in pain immediately.

Gillian's eyes widened in shock, and she quickly looked around, her heart racing.

She gasped upon realizing that she was in a dressing room, cuffed to the chair she was sitting on.

She found out that she was being prepared by four dressing staff.

Taking a look at herself, Gillian found out that she was in a white lace gown that was designed with diamonds and stone.

A bitter smile appeared on Gillian's face upon realizing that she was being forced to get dressed and prepare for the wedding with Augustus.

Gillian's heart tightened in pain. She understood that what the Arison family was subtly telling her was that she had to go through the wedding regardless of how she felt!

Her hand fell on the white dress and her face contorted with contempt.

Seeing the dress reminded Gillian of how naive she was. She thought she was smart but being in between such a shameless family like the Arison, she realized that she had always been nothing but a fool.

Gillian knew that the Arison family purposely made the dressing staff wear the clothes for her; they wanted to humiliate her beyond words.

Gillian's hand balled into a fist. If her hands weren't cuffed, she would tear the clothes into pieces.

Gillian couldn't help but recall the day she had happily visited one of the top boutiques to select a dress in preparation for her engagement with Luke Arnoult.

Mr Roger Arison for the first time had given Gillian a sum of money to buy a dress. That time Gillian had been overwhelmed with happiness thinking that everything was about to change for her, unknown to her that she was being made a fool.

Now she realizes that the only reason Mr. Roger Arison had given her money to buy a dress was all because of this. Was all because of today! They'd been planning it for a long time while she was immersed in the cruel illusion!

Tears welled in Gillian's eyes.

It turns out that waking up last night was a mistake. If she hadn't woken up at all last night, Gillian's naive self would have believed that she was getting engaged to Luke Arnoult! Only to receive a blow later in the day!

Luke Arnoult!

Gillian's heart clenched at the recollection of all that happened last night.

For almost a decade, Gillian and Luke have been together as sweethearts.

Gillian had always helped Luke through school and projects.

Not only that, Gillian constantly helped Luke work for Arnoult's company in secrecy until it was among the top companies as well-with Luke taking all the credit for Gillian's work.

Since Roger Arison didn't let her in the Arison's company because he was afraid that she would upset Willa's mood, Gillian never took a step into the Arison company despite that it belonged to her father.

Ever since Gillian graduated from high school, she had worked in the Arnoult's company with her all without getting a credit or taking any dime as a salary because Luke had promised that they would get engaged and marry each other soon.

Gillian had happily believed in Luke's happy-ever-after unaware that she was a fool.

It turns out that all the time she was suffering hard, Luke thought of her as mud.

So this was all she had suffered for. To get Luke on par with Willa, the precious heaven daughter of the Arison family, and then get herself discarded. How stupid was she!

"Let me go. Let me go." Gillian yelled stubbornly and began to struggle hard, making the dressing staff unable to make up her face or continue their preparation.

"Calm down, miss." The dressing staff tried to coax Gillian but on their face were traces of disgust.

After all, Gillian's mother was rumored to be the prostitute who drugged Mr. Roger and came between Mr. Roger Arison and Mrs. Kathy Arison's marriage, shamelessly giving birth to Gillian two months after Mrs. Kathy gave birth to Willa.

Gillian is just an illegitimate daughter, how dare she put on airs? Not only did she wake up late on her wedding day, but Gillian was also wasting their time by acting bratty.

"Hush younger sister, you have to calm down or else you'll ruin the effort of the dressing sister." Willa elegantly catwalk into the room and coaxed Gillian in a gentle tone that touched all the dressing staff.

Their admiration for Willa increased immediately while their hatred for Gillian became apparent.

They took a look at Willa, and they couldn't help but sigh in envy at how beautiful she looked.

Gillian was currently dressed in an off-shoulder white ball gown with a slit. She was looking beautiful and innocent, giving one the urge to protect.

Willa bent slightly in front of Gillian and smiled beautifully. "Younger sister Gillian, being so eager to see brother-in-law? Ah, I forgot that you might have to be the one to lead brother-in-law up there since brother-in-law is retarded." Willa whispered in concern.

"I know you're worried about brother-in-law but still, you have to get dressed; after all, this is your wedding, and you can't afford to be rash like before," Willa said in an innocent and soft voice that touched all the dressing staff's heartstrings.

Anyone who heard Willa will think that she was being nice and paying attention to Gillian, but the subtle meaning of her words is that Gillian is a rash person, and she's getting married to a retard.

The dressing staff's eyes were filled with contempt for Gillian immediately. Gillian woke up late for her wedding and when she did, the very first thing she did was yell that she should be let go. Indeed, Gillian is very rash.

Moreover, they felt that heaven was really fair and that Gillian deserved to get married to that retarded. After all, both of them are the same, useless to the core.

Gillian could clearly understand what Willa was subtly saying. After all, Gillian had been a subject of humiliation due to Willa's implicit words and schemes.

Gillain fumed in anger and pain. It was Willa who betrayed her with her boyfriend. Now Willa dares to spoil her image while pretending to be a nice person. "You bitch! You should've been the one getting married to Augustus today; I should have been on the stage yesterday, getting engaged to Luke..."

"Younger sister, how can you?" A shocked gasp immediately filled Gillian's ears, interrupting her words.

Willa's eyes reddened, and her body shook in feigned disbelief upon hearing Gillian's words. "Younger sister Gillian, tell me you're joking! How can you be interested in your brother-in-law up to the point of submerging yourself in such a cruel illusion? How? Why? He's your brother-in-law. How can you like him?" Willa cried out, her face turned pale, and her body shook as if she had just dealt a fierce blow.

Although Willa's whole person was pitiful. Inwardly, she was overjoyed with how things were playing out. She expected that Gillian would lash out at her, which was what she intended.

A drop of tears trickled down Willa's eye. "Is that the reason younger sister Gillian has been throwing tantrums since yesterday? Is that the reason younger sister refused to attend Luke and my engagement? Haven't you always claimed to be Augustus' pampered secret sweetheart ever since you were young, how can you want Luke now?" Willa explained pitifully. A cunning glint flickered past her eyes. She knew that it didn't matter if she was lying or not.

Augustus is a retard; there's no evidence to prove that Willa is lying or not. Besides, Willa had claimed that Gillian told her that so even if the truth gets revealed in the future, Gillian would be the one to be blamed.

Gillian's lips couldn't help but quiver at how shameless Willa was. Although Willa and Luke had been the ones to cheat, Willa is implying that Augustus and Gillian had always been sweethearts and Luke had always been Willa's sweetheart, which was a lie.

Willia also claimed that Gillian isn't attracted to Augustus anymore and now wants Luke, which was the reason Gillian had been causing a tantrum.

Willa is also implying that Gillian had refused to attend yesterday's engagement because she was now crushing on Luke.

Willa's words had indirectly switched all the blame to Gillian and made herself and the Arison family the pitiful party, causing everyone's heartache.

The eyes of the dressing staff when they landed on Gillian's body were filled with hatred. They wished they could tear Gillian apart.

'She's so shameless! When Augustus was a famous Billionaire, she was eagerly parading as his secret sweetheart, but now that he's retarded, she was quick to switch her love for him. She's such a shameless vixen like her mother.

Rumors had it that Roger Arison sold his daughter for money, but it seems that it's a lie. The truth is Gillian had always been Augustus' secret sweetheart. Mr Roger had only joined the two together.'

Seeing that the dressing staff acted out according to how she wanted, Willa was extremely satisfied.

However, Willa suppressed it all and continued to immerse herself in her sadness. She shook her head and took hold of Gillain's hand while staring at Gillian with red-rimmed eyes. "Although my heart belongs to Luke, had younger sister told me the truth before the engagement, I would have given my younger sister and Luke my blessings. After all, to me, my younger sister and my family are irreplaceable. Even if it hurts, I'll sacrifice my happiness to make younger sister happy." Willa conveyed pitifully.

Everyone felt indignation overwhelmed them due to Gillian's heartlessness.

'Willa is such a pure angel. Despite that she loves Luke, she'll eagerly give her blessing to Luke and Gillian so that a man won't come in between her family. How I wish I was a man, I'll protect her forever. She's so different from the other daughters of the wealthy family.

Gillian is such a shameless vixen. If I was her, I'd choose to hide myself and jump into the river.

Gillian is so useless. How dare she think she's worthy of Luke Arnoult? Luke Arnoult and Willa Arison are the perfect golden couple in the business industry. There's no space for her.

She's just like her mother, a shameless vixen who only knows how to come in between someone's marriage.

Uh. How can this vixen be such a contrast to the innocent Willa and the Arison family as a whole? She's unworthy of Gillian. So selfish!'

Hearing the conversation of the dressing staff, Gillian felt her heart drop dead. Ever since she was young, she had always tried to tread carefully. However, every step of her still ended up infuriating Willa.

But now Gillian was tired. She was tired of it all. She had held herself low-key but for what? All for naught. Now hearing how they kept shaming her innocent mother, Gillian's brain buzzed with anger.

"Let go of me, you, feigning disgusting bitch!" Gillian bellowed and angrily slapped Willa's hand away.

So disgusting! Willa is a sly bitch! Gillian understood what Willa was trying to do! Willa was trying to trash Gillian on her wedding day.

Although the family had made her a substitute bride, they won't stop until they tear her into pieces. And the thought made her heart hurt...

CRASH!

"Ahhh!" The sound of Willa's scream and Willa crashing on the floor attracted everyone's attention. Tears pooled in Willa's eyes, and she bit her trembling lips hard as if to stop herself from bursting into loud tears.

Gillian gasped, and her body couldn't help but tremble in shock. She only slapped Willa's hands, how is that enough to make Willa crash to the floor?

"Gillian!!! How can you act so cruelly to your sister? Are you insane?" Luke Arnoult strode into the room, chided Gillian, and glared at her coldly. He quickly pulled Willa up and hugged her tightly. His expression was filled with heartache, stabbing Gillian's heart imm

ensely.
