Billionaire's Stubborn Slave Wife novel Chapter 4

At 7 p.m., Lauren arrived at the banquet on time, wearing a white strapless evening gown, revealing her sexy collarbones and a high-cut design, exposing her long, slender legs.

Lauren kept looking at the diamond-set watch on her wrist. The party had already started, but Matthew hadn't shown up yet. This made Lauren very anxious because she knew that Ito, the client, hated people who were not on time.

Just as she was about to go in alone, a sports car pulled up in front of Lauren at a very fast speed. Faced with such a speed, Lauren's face did not change, still wearing a smile that fascinates men.

"Lauren, long time no see, several years no see, you still beautiful and make men fascinated."

This voice made Lauren, who had a calm face, shivered. Why? Why did this woman appear here?

Lauren forced herself to look up, although prepared, when she saw Matthew and Jennifer Gu standing in front of her, she still subconsciously took several steps backward. The things that had happened to make her suffer were all coming back to her mind at this moment.

"Lauren, are you okay?" Seeing Lauren's reaction, Jennifer pretended to be concerned about her. She walked towards Lauren from Matthew's arms and then reached out to touch Lauren's face.

"Ah!"

Faced with Jennifer's hands suddenly reaching out, Lauren's face paled in fear and she took several steps backward. Such an abnormal reaction made Matthew, who had been paying attention to her, suspicious.

"Are you okay?"

Matthew walked towards Lauren, then took her hand, only to find that her hand was very cold. He felt a little guilty, if he hadn't been late, maybe she wouldn't be so cold now.

Seeing Matthew's concern for Lauren, Jennifer's heart was filled with resentment, but she still had a charming smile on her face. She took an elegant step and came to Matthew's front. With her hands on Matthew's arms, she naturally pushed Lauren away.

"Matthew, let's go inside. The party has already started, and my dad will be anxious if we're too late."

Matthew nodded, wrapped his arm around Jennifer's slender waist, and walked into the banquet hall.

Lauren watched their departing backs and she let out a soft sigh before trying to follow them in, but suddenly she felt a wave of vertigo. She thought it might be because she had been standing outside for too long and her body was a little overwhelmed.

She was afraid that she would suddenly faint in the banquet hall, so she rested outside for a while, and only after she felt her body was stable did she walk towards the hall, but she overestimated her body's ability to withstand it.

Lauren closed her eyes and waited for the pain of the fall, knowing that, in her condition, she would surely fall to the ground.

But the pain of falling to the ground did not occur. She opened her eyes and found that she was being held tightly in the arms of a man. The smell of the man's nice cologne gave her a very familiar feeling.

"Lauren, is this your meeting gift for me? If so, it would be a surprise to me."

"Joshua! how come it's you?" Her clear eyes were filled with joy. The excited Lauren did not notice that this intimate pose of theirs was captured by a camera in the corner.
