Chapter 2525: Chapter 2534: Pleasure Replaces Anxiety

Baron Lawrence discreetly held her hand in his, his handsome face covered with a layer of frost, and his gaze towards the taunting man resembled looking at a dead person.

"Let me handle it if you’re upset, you don’t need to worry about it." His voice was soft but loud enough for Enna Clark to hear.

The warmth from his palm eased Enna’s uncomfortable feelings somewhat. She took a deep breath and exhaled the stale air from her chest, gently shaking her head, "It’s fine, it doesn’t upset me much, I’m used to it. Let me handle it myself. I don’t have any secrets and I doubt he can reveal anything surprising."

A well-planned banquet suddenly turned into such a farce, drawing everyone’s attention to them.

The crowd was filled with hushed whispers, and experts engaged in quiet discussions.

"My God, those two are actually acquaintances of President Lawrence’s wife."

"That man is actually the President’s wife’s biological father, how embarrassing to have such a father."

"Look at that man, he doesn’t resemble the President’s wife at all."

"You might not know, but I’ve read about it in the news before. The news said..."

The focus of the gossip shifted from these two coming to find Enna Clark to questioning whether Enna’s biological mother was a mistress who intervened in someone else’s family.

The young girl next to Wendy Hanson listened, her eyes wide with shock, her gaze toward Enna turning hateful and disdainful. With one hand hooked around Wendy’s arm, she clicked her tongue, her face full of scornful emotion, "Sister Wendy, did you hear? Her mom turns out to be a mistress. That’s so unexpected."

"This is the first time I’m hearing about it too." Wendy said this while her eyes were fixed on the couple holding hands. Her eyes were filled with jealousy and discontent.

How dare she still stand beside Brother Baron, she really has thick skin!

"I just overheard someone say this matter was quite big in Linton City, so why hasn’t it been heard about in Country W? Did Young Master Lawrence suppress the news?" The young girl thought more and more about it, feeling increasingly disdainful, "Indeed, an illegitimate, is born an illegitimate; no matter how well refined, can’t present oneself well at crucial times. Now that her family has made such a ruckus at the banquet, what does Young Master Lawrence think? What does Old Master think? Poor Young Master Lawrence being deceived by her, only to lose face so badly today. Sister Wendy, you are so unlucky, if you hadn’t gone abroad two years ago, it would have been better. If you hadn’t gone abroad, she wouldn’t have had her chance."

One moment she was desperately trying to pair Wendy Hanson with her brother, next lamenting Wendy shouldn’t have gone abroad, missing out on Baron Lawrence. Typical of a young girl’s naïve thinking.

Her words were unintended yet pierced Wendy Hanson’s heart.

Wendy quietly clenched her fist, her beautiful eyes observing the development of the situation...

It’s okay, it’s still not too late. As long as she can succeed... that person said, as long as she can succeed, she would have the chance to replace that woman...

Coming from a noble background, it was her first time discreetly scheming behind the scenes; it’s a lie to say she wasn’t nervous. However, despite the undeniable anxiety in her heart, there’s an indescribable thrill. She swept away all the suppression and jealousy from recent days, unconsciously ignoring that bit of nervousness.

The tide of gossip almost drowned the entire hall, and Juliet Jordan felt faint amidst the finger-pointing all around.

Especially upon hearing people’s comments about the clothes she wore and her rough skin, she had the urge to hide herself in a hole.
