Chapter 866
Wendy’s mind went into a tailspin, like she’d been whacked upside the head. All her questions answered in one word, “Mrs. Harper.”
So, this woman’s scheme was that deep.
Why did that slap, which shouldn’t have landed on her face, end up smacking her square in the kisser? Could there have been any other explanation than her doing it on purpose?!
She deliberately hurt herself, so next…
The room went dead silent when everyone heard Nathan say that name, Mrs. Harper.
“Why is Nathan calling her Mrs. Harper?”
“Who is Nathan’s brother?”
“Who else but Damon?”
“Must be some stepbrother…”
Elsa stared blankly for a long time, filled with dread as she looked at Nathan’s serious face.
Mrs. Harper? Was Nathan actually calling this woman Mrs. Harper?
Who in this world would be privileged enough to be called ‘brother‘ by Nathan? If there was such a person, who could afford to offend them?
What was more… She hadn’t heard of Nathan having a stepbrother…
Her fear was evident on her face, her lips tightly sealed, her eyes wide with horror as she looked at Chloe, stepping back involuntarily.
Chloe looked down at the wound on her knee. Honestly, who would have thought she’d kneel on a silver fork, ripping a long gash in her flesh?
Nathan was also staring at her bloody knee, a worried and timid look on his face.
This was a real mess!
When he left the house today, his brother had specifically told him to take good care of Chloe, and now this had happened.
He was so screwed!
Chloe glanced at Nathan, her eyes full of apology and sympathy, but said, “It’s no big deal.”
Nathan pursed his lips, giving Chloe a meaningful look and said,
“Let me take you to the hospital. I’ll call my brother on the way.”
Chloe gave a small smile, “Alright.”
“Can you walk? If not, I… never mind, I’m dead meat anyway!”
Seeing her struggle, Nathan didn’t care whether his brother would be jealous and picked Chloe up, striding out of the banquet hall.
The hall was buzzing again long after Nathan had left with Chloe.
“From what Nathan said, it seems like his brother really is Damon.”
“Yeah, I heard that the Harper family had a party last night, and Damon brought his fiancée.”
“I heard about it too. Such a shame we weren’t invited.”
“Why is it Nathan accompanying her today, not Damon?”
The conversation gradually confirmed their acceptance of the girl being Damon’s fiancée.
Elsa looked even more terrified, “No, this can’t be! What kind of woman is she to be worthy of Damon? Are you guys out of your minds to believe such a thing!”
A few people looked displeased at her words, “What’s there not to believe? How do you explain Nathan’s behavior today?
Plus, Wendy and Mr. Larkin were there yesterday, weren’t they? Why not ask them?”
Elsa’s face changed slightly. She looked at Wendy, her face full of hope despite her embarrassment, “Wendy, is that woman really Damon’s fiancée?”
Wendy closed her lips softly, her beautiful face full of disapproval.
“I told you before not to be impulsive, there might be some misunderstanding… you acted too rashly, Elsa.”
Although she didn’t directly answer Elsa’s question, her answer was clear enough to anyone listening. And there was a clear note of reproach and dissatisfaction in her tone.
Everyone understood her feelings. If Wendy had acted indifferent, without a trace of anger, they would have thought her fake. Who could stay calm when Elsa turned their welcome party into a hot mess?
Elsa’s face froze.
Wendy continued, frowning in displeasure, “You and Felix came together, and he wouldn’t openly flirt with other women in your presence. I believe Felix was just chatting with her to maintain the peace between our families, all because of Damon’s dignit. And look what a scene you made… You’re Felix’s fiancée now. This puts him in a tough spot…”
By the end, Wendy’s voice was barely a whisper, her brow furrowed even more deeply.
The relationship between the Larkin and Harper families…
Felix’s face had turned even more gloomy.
”
The Larkin family’s fiancée had hit the Harper family’s fiancée. This was a mess on so many levels. For years, the Larkin family’s fortunes had been declining, while the Harper family grew stronger, always supporting the Larkins.
They had sensed the Harper family’s dissatisfaction with them, which was why they chose to marry into the Baker family. And the Harper family had always maintained this relationship out of respect and decency.
The lack of conflict was because the Harper family had no reason to start one. Now, with Elsa’s actions tonight, how should the Larkin family explain to the Harpers?
And tonight, he….
Suddenly, Felix’s heart gave a leap. And then, a chill ran down his spine. When Chloe got that slap from Elsa, it was clearly on purpose!
On purpose, there must have been a reason, an objective…
That objective needed to be analyzed in the context of the relationship between the two families. That slap was just to give the Harper family a reason to break ties with the Larkin family!
Suddenly, Felix felt a chill running through his body. The slap that Chloe willingly took today solved a problem that had been bothering the Harper family for years.
What a deep game she was playing!
No. That couldn’t be!
How could it be? She had only been a part of the Harper family for a few days, how much could she know about them? Especially today’s party, it was all decided at the last minute, and she was notified at the last minute. How could she have had time to plan all this?
= W = F
That woman, how could she have considered all these things?
