Chapter 1075:
But Christina stayed perfectly composed. With a sharp shove, she sent him sprawling onto the floor.
The sudden commotion immediately drew the attention of the surrounding guests.
“Who dares to make a scene at this wedding?”
Someone in the crowd caught sight of Christina and blurted out, “Isn’t that the same woman who stole the spotlight at Margot’s birthday banquet?”
“So it is that woman! I’ve heard about her before. She really does have that kind of dangerous allure, like a temptress. No wonder men can’t help but fight over her.”
“Is she playing her old games again? Surrounded by so many men—she was born to be a heartbreaker. But crashing Dominic’s wedding? She’s really asking for trouble this time.”
The guests buzzed with gossip. Some, swayed by idle chatter, looked at Christina with disdain, their whispers growing sharper and more venomous by the second.
When Dominic and Lauretta came into view, the onlookers surged forward, eager to witness the drama unfold.
Judd caught sight of the gathering crowd, and his face darkened even more. The thought that a woman had managed to outwit them and leave them in such disgrace was humiliating beyond words.
“Mr. Norris, Mrs. Norris, this woman is deliberately stirring up trouble at your wedding. Please, have her thrown out,” Judd accused, pointing at Christina and quick to shift the blame before anyone else could speak.
But before his words even hung in the air, he was struck by a slap. Lauretta’s hand lashed across his face without a word, her expression as cold and unyielding as stone.
Judd staggered in shock, his cheek stinging, his eyes blazing with fury as he glared at her. “Mrs. Norris, why did you strike me?”
“I struck you because you are the one causing trouble at my wedding,” Lauretta declared firmly. She doubted Christina would make a scene for no reason. Surely, it was these men who had provoked Christina first.

“Mrs. Norris, you’re being far too assertive!” Judd snapped, his voice laced with rage.
“So what if she is? As my wife, she has every right to be,” Dominic cut in, his arm sliding protectively around Lauretta’s waist. His gaze turned glacial as he leveled it at Judd.
Judd was left speechless. How could this couple be so unreasonable? Still, no matter how indignant he was, he had no choice but to choke it down. The Norris and Gomez families towered above his own—he couldn’t afford to antagonize them.
Forcing himself into calm, Judd spoke evenly. “There’s something you don’t know. It was Miss Jones who started this chaos. Shouldn’t she be held accountable?” He pivoted toward the guests. “Everyone saw it. Miss Jones threw wine on me and my friends. She should apologize and face the consequences.”
His cronies added their voices. “That’s right—it was Miss Jones who lost her temper and doused us in red wine.”
