Chapter 234
“No kidding, right? Didn’t you guys attend the engagement party as well? It’s just that Colton wasn’t fond of Astrid, so the wedding was called off.” After Farrah said this, everyone exchanged glances.
She was rejected by Colton?
That must mean Astrid was not a good woman.
After all, if even a dummy like Colton didn’t want her, she must be pretty bad.
People were realistic, especially these snobby rich wives.
After hearing about this, they unconsciously distanced themselves from her, as if she had some sort of contagious disease, even though just a second ago they were singing her praises.
Farrah couldn’t help but feel pleased when she saw this.
Elio was upset, but before he could say anything, Astrid shook her head at him, signaling him not to speak. She then turned to Farrah and said, “You’re right, I almost got sold to you as a daughter–in–law by my foster mother.”
Sold to Farrah by her foster mother?
Upon hearing this, Amanda felt a pang of sympathy. Thank god the engagement didn’t go through, or she would have lost her daughter–in–law.
Farrah didn’t fully explain the reason for the engagement being called off, just to cause a misunderstanding. When Astrid clarified, everyone’s gaze on Farrah was filled with scrutiny.
Astrid continued, “Colton is a good kid, and he’s not the dummy you think he is. He has the intelligence of a five–year–old; he can distinguish right from wrong, and he only wants to marry someone he loves. Therefore, we agreed to cancel the engagement.”
“You should make things clear next time, Farrah. Otherwise, it’s easy for people to misunderstand.”
After Astrid finished speaking, Farrah was somewhat embarrassed.
Her intention was to provoke Astrid into a heated argument in front of everyone because Amanda hated rude people the most.
But her plan backfired. Most rich wives were outrageous and she figured that a proud person like Astrid couldn’t tolerate it and would definitely lose her cool.
But Astrid was remarkably calm, as if nothing had happened.
This made Farrah come off as petty.
“Oh, it was all a misunderstanding. Let’s eat, everyone.” One lady diffused the tension, and the atmosphere eased slightly.
Amanda was looking at Astrid with a smile so wide that she couldn’t close her mouth. The more she looked, the more she liked Astrid.
Beautiful, smart, generous, and classy. Oh, how could such a perfect girl exist?!
Astrid gave a faint smile, knowing that Amanda was specifically following her drama.
Mrs. Faye, unable to stand Amanda’s endless praise for Astrid, said, “Mrs. Lampard just mentioned that Ms. Irvine is a celebrity, but I’ve never seen any of her dramas?”
“Isn’t it because it hasn’t been aired yet? It starts on October 1, with two new episodes every Tuesday to Thursday, and members getting a first look at two episodes!”
“Since Ms. Irvine is an actress, she must not have attended a good university, right? My daughter is a graduate student at a top–notch university in our country!”
“Mrs. Faye, didn’t I ask you to play less mahjong and more news? Astrid graduated from the Endeavor Institute in the States. It was all over the news!”
Mrs. Faye was dumbfounded.
Mrs. Faye then said. “She’s so young and already a PhD graduate; she must be a bookworm with no talents. My daughter has passed level nine–piano; she’s a real talent!”
Amanda, not to be outdone, “Astrid is also a global magic competition champion with many disciples! How can your daughter compare?”
