Chapter 723 The Idol of Middle-Aged Women
As Benjamin stepped onto the platform, the sound of Alondra’s melodious operetta reached his ears. She sang “Adele’s Laughing Song” from “Die Fledermaus.” It suddenly dawned on Benjamin that Emmeline had mentioned her stepmother’s background in the Opera troupe, which explained why Alondra was so talented in performing operetta. It explained how Maxwell was attracted to her singing skills and figure, and they started dating. Benjamin now suspected that she was using her skills to captivate Waylon. Concealed behind some flowers, Benjamin peeked out to watch the performance.
Alondra’s performance did not captivate Waylon, but it appeared to intimidate him. At that moment, Waylon seemed like a helpless person confronted with a demon, unable to flee or evade its. grasp. He blocked Alondra’s hand from touching his face, feeling like his head was about to explode.
“Mr. Waylon,” Alondra leaned over and twisted her body, “just tell me, do I have a beautiful figure and a good singing voice?”
“Your figure is beautiful as well as your singing!” Waylon impatiently raised his arm to block his face and said. “You’ve finished singing and dancing. Please leave now!”
“But you haven’t agreed to my invitation yet,” She fluttered her fake eyelashes, “I’ve already booked a private room at the hotel, where the food is among the best in the Struyria! Mr. Waylon, wouldn’t it be a pity if you didn’t try it?
“I’ve already thanked Mrs. Louise for your kindness,” Waylon hid behind a flowering branch. I’m not interested in good food or beautiful things. Please invite someone else; I won’t go and spoil your fun.”
Alondra pouted her flame–red lips and said, “But it’s only fun with you. I’ve already planned it out. During the meal, I’ll take a video of us eating together and share it on the wealthy ladies‘ group chat. Everyone will envy me, won’t they?”
Waylon was left speechless. So, she only invited him to lunch to take a video and show off to her wealthy friends? It seemed that he was still the object of admiration for middle–aged women.
“And then there’s Mrs. Griffin and Mrs. Lewis. They always act so superior! If they see me eating and taking videos with a young man as distinguished and wealthy as you, they’ll surely start respecting me and won’t dare to bully me anymore!” Alondra kept pleading. “Mr. Waylon, please help me! Please!”
Waylon wiped the sweat off his forehead. It was the first time in his life that he felt useful! Waylon could raise the value of middle–aged women just by his presence! However, that wasn’t what he wanted. At this moment, all he wanted was for her to leave him alone so he could have some peace.
Upon witnessing this scene, Benjamin immediately messaged Ethan to bring his wife, Grace to the platform as soon as possible. Without delay, Ethan and Grace arrived and were motioned by Benjamin to hide quietly in the bushes with him. Meanwhile, Alondra continued her passionate performance for Waylon, her singing so mesmerizing that Ethan couldn’t help but cover his forehead and exclaim. “Thank goodness she’s not my biological mother, or I’d have to jump off a building!”
Grace whispered to Benjamin, “Why did you ask me to come here to stop my mother–in–law from seducing men? What can I even do?”
Benjamin responded, “Can’t you see that we’re all men here? If anything happens, we’ll be the ones to blame.”
Ethan chimed in, “Exactly. We won’t be able to clear our names if things go south. What if Alondra starts clinging onto Mr. Waylon?”
Grace let out a sigh, “So what do we do now? Just stand here and watch the show?”
