Chapter 2196
Mrs. Mendez glared at the woman with displeasure. “And who are you? It’s none of your business whether or not I teach this vixen a lesson! This is my daughter’s engagement to my future son-in-law! Who let this nobody in?”
When Ava saw the woman being insulted by Mrs. Mendez, she felt uncomfortable and was thinking of settling the matter herself when Mr. Mendez rushed over to stop Mrs. Mendez from attacking the woman again.
“Watch your mouth! She’s my guest. This is Ms. Xander from Y Country!” Mr. Mendez reminded her solemnly before apologizing to the woman with a smile.
“Oh, Ms. Xander! Please don’t take what she said personally. I was going to invite you to this engagement ceremony! I’m really sorry that you had to see this buffoonery.”
When Mrs. Mendez heard who the woman was, her entire expression changed instantly.
“So this is the Ms. Xander you were meeting today.” A bright ingratiating smile appeared on Mrs. Mendez’s face. “Ms. Xander, I’m so sorry! I didn’t know it was you. I’ve heard plenty of amazing things about you from my husband! It’s rare to see a successful self-made career woman like you!”
Mrs. Mendez was suddenly full of praise.
Mrs. Graham listened with shock by the side. “She’s the richest woman in Y Country?”
Mrs. Mendez nodded her head repeatedly and looked proud. “My husband just made a deal with her!”
“I’m sorry, I think you misunderstood. I didn’t strike a deal with your husband.” The woman dismissed coldly.
When Mrs. Mendez heard what she said, she froze, and so did Mr. Mendez. He looked at the woman, confused. “Ms. Xander?”
The woman smiled nonchalantly. “Mr. Mendez, I was considering this deal, but now I’m not. Your wife’s demeanor makes me very uncomfortable. I don’t want to have business dealings or be in contact with such a person.”
