Chapter 10 Is She Being Kept as a Mistress?
Sir Smith was not happy that Wendy was pregnant at all!
Given his understanding of Wendy, whether the news was true, or whether the child was really Joe’s, was still in question. He would never allow her to act behind his back!
It was Sir Smith who prevented Joe from marrying her!
Having been with Joe for many years, how could Wendy not know what he originally wanted to say? But all this was interrupted by Sir Smith!
She glared resentfully at Sir Smith and then quickly lowered her head.
Joe could only pat her, “Let’s talk about it later.”
Wendy knew that Joe would not defy Sir Smith in public, so she obediently nodded, “Alright, I’ll listen to you.”
Seeing the young and attractive couple in front of her, Mia scoffed, raising her gla*s, “Congratulations, Mr. Smith, on your blessed child.”
Although she spoke words of blessing, she didn’t touch a drop of the wine, and carelessly placed the gla*s on a nearby table before
Even Sir Smith could not face her to stop her, and he only glared at Joe, snorting indifferently before turning to leave.
Joe watched Mia’s departing figure, his face darkening.
Miss Clinton, you…”.
Frank, who had been standing nearby, noticed Mia’s face didn’t look good and hurriedly approached to ch*ck on her.
This scene was caught by Wendy, who was being congratulated. by everyone, and a plan quickly formed in her mind.
So, under Wendy’s subtle hints, the attention of the crowd gradually shifted to Mia.
“Didn’t Miss White go abroad? Why has she suddenly come back? Could there be some problem?”
“She must have failed abroad! How could there be a Smith
family abroad…” The speaker seemed to realize that they had said something wrong and immediately covered her mouth.
But Wendy didn’t mind at all. Instead, she gently covered her belly, “Joe and I are very happy now. Although Miss White took a wrong turn, we are still willing to help her.”
Who among those present wasn’t shrewd?
One was Joe’s disliked ex-wife; the other was the pregnant
future Mrs. Smith of the Smith family. Anyone with a brain should know whom to choose.
So, with the gossip spreading among the crowd, Mia became the pitiful woman who couldn’t make it abroad and had to return home to be kept by someone.
Although no one foolishly brought it up in front of Mia, their strange glances still alerted her that something was wrong.
“Do you need me to find out what’s going on?” Frank, too, sensed something off and quickly asked Mia.
Mia shook her head, her ironic smile more evident, her eyes precisely falling on Wendy, who was radiating triumph not far away, “No need. They only know how to take advantage of their words.”
When she was first found by the Horizon Group, she
encountered much worse. Compared to that, this was nothing.
Seeing Mia’s calm expression, Frank was somewhat puzzled, “Why don’t you let me announce your identity? If they knew that you have the support of Horizon Group, they wouldn’t dare to talk behind your back.”
Mia’s eyes swept around the room, “It’s not the time yet.”
She had to deal with the disgusting White family first, making them spit out all the advantages they had taken.
She had initially come to the banquet to meet some members of
the White family. However, she hadn’t expected that within just five short years, the White family had fallen to the point where they couldn’t even get into a Smith family banquet.
“Watch out!”
As Mia was lost in thought, Frank’s warning sounded, and she skillfully dodged, a gla*s of champagne splashing on the floor.
Amy, who had appeared from somewhere, apologized without any sincerity, “Miss White, sorry, I didn’t mean to.”
After saying this, she winked at a group of women not far away, who immediately burst into laughter.
Frank frowned, surprised to find such a person at the Smith family’s banquet.
As he was about to speak, he saw Mia, expressionless, stopping the triumphantly departing woman, “Are you just going to leave like that?”
Amy shrugged nonchalantly, “I’ve already apologized, what else do you want?”
Mia looked at her for a moment, then picked up a nearby gla*s of wine, pouring it over Amy’s head.
Amy hadn’t expected Mia to dare to take action against her at the Smith family banquet, and the icy wine made her shiver and
scream.
