Chapter 219
“Marina, I don’t want to argue with you today,” Loraine replied calmly.
“I’m here as a guest; I was invited.”
“The Cruz family is a noble clan. Why would they invite a pauper Like you?” Marina turned to Florence. “Mrs. Cruz, this woman is a liar. I strongly advise you throw her out immediately!”
No sooner had Marina’s spiteful words left her mouth than someone shouted from the second floor.
“No one can throw her out!”
Grady rushed downstairs and stood in front of Loraine protectively.
“Mom, Loraine is not a liar. She is my guest and my friend!”
It was the first time Florence had seen her son act nervously about a woman.
She smiled slightly. “It seems there’s a misunderstanding. Since she’s a friend of Grady, it’s okay that she’s here.”
Marina watched with rising anger as her future fiance ignored her and stood next to Loraine, instead.
She thought Loraine was seducing another woman’s man again. She was fuming mad.
Marina remained unconvinced.
“How do you know Loraine? She’s just some divorcee who seduces men. She doesn’t deserve to be your friend. You’d better stay away from her!”
Frowning, Grady jumped to Loraine’s defense.
“Loraine is a talented and capable woman. Please don’t slander her.”
Marina’s eyes widened in outrage.
“You believe her over me? But I’m your fiancee!” Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
“What fiancee?” Grady snapped. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.
Even if there was a marriage being negotiated, I wouldn’t agree!”
Marina shrank back from his words, embarrassed.
By this point, neither Florence nor Laura could sit still.
In a cold voice, Laura asked, “Grady, what do you mean by that? Do you think Marina doesn’t deserve you?”
“Mrs. Bryant, please calm down. Don’t take him too seriously,” Florence said apologetically and glared at her son.
