My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins novel Chapter 276

Being scolded and pointed at her nose and slandered in public, Florence couldn’t endure any longer.

She looked at Annabelle in disgust and questioned, “Annabelle, you can’t gain Reynold’s heart. Why do you think you can slander me in this way? What have I done to offend you?”

“Am I slandering you? I just told the truth,” Annabelle said quite affirmatively.

Florence’s temples were popping fiercely and she felt a strong migraine. The gazes from the crowd were stinging her like thorns, making her so embarrassed.

She hadn’t done anything wrong, but Annabelle kept slandering her.

Florence’s retort sounded so weak.

Not only her but also Ernest’s reputation was ruined. She was worried about how those people would look at her and what rumors would be made against Ernest.

Florence wished that she could tear Annabelle’s mouth. However, she had no idea how she could prove her innocence.

She felt the strong migraine, feeling the disdain and hatred from the onlookers surrounding her.

“Crick.”

The leather shoes cricked on the floor. The footsteps stopped next to Florence.

Ernest’s tall and strong figure appeared next to Florence. Reaching out, he pulled Florence into his arms.

He was tall and strong and Florence was petite. He wrapped her in his arms like providing her with a safe haven, so protective and secured.

His embrace blocked those hateful gazes.

Florence’s heart skipped a beat when she smelt the familiar scent. Turning around, she saw the familiar handsome face.

It was Ernest.

Looking at her, he slightly nodded. His low and calm voice made her feel so secure.

“I’m here with you.”

Hence, he hinted that she should rest assured.

His words were like a tranquilizer that calmed down Florence quickly. She wasn’t panicked or sad anymore.

She seemed to find someone to rely on. As long as he was here with her, she wouldn’t fear those rumors at all.

The onlookers witnessed Ernest come over suddenly. Under their gazes, he held Florence in his arms without caring about anything.

His domineering gesture fully declared his desire for possession and protection to Florence.

Everyone gazed at them in surprise.

Florence was revealed of dating two men at the same time in public, and Ernest was cheated on by her. That meant Ernest’s dignity was ruined. Wasn’t he supposed to hate Florence to the core?

How could he step out and hold her protectively?

Annabelle was deadly shocked, stiffing at the spot like a log. She looked at this superior and respected man in disbelief.

Since she was so close to Ernest, she could clearly feel the strong aura emanated from the man, which made her hard to brief. Seemingly she could be pinched to death if he casually raised his fingers.

In front of the man, although he hadn’t spared any glance at her, Annabelle became fearful from the bottom of her heart.

She even began to regret that she came to provoke Florence and ruined his reputation.

Ernest calmed Florence down. Then he switched his gaze. In an instant, his gaze became cold and sharp, as dangerous as the sharp daggers.

The temperature around him immediately dropped below the frozen point, making others tremble.

Ernest didn’t spare any glance to the onlookers. He even ignored Annabelle. Instead, he stared daggers at Reynold directly.

The sharp gaze was stabbed onto Reynold’s body like a thorn.

Reynold stiffed, his body tightened.

Although he was pretty capable and had met a lot of powerful ones, he felt somewhat frightened when facing Ernest in this way.

Usually, Ernest’s coldness was just indifference. However, when he was pissed, his aura was as freezing as the arctic ice ... cold to the core.

“Reynold Myron, do something to your private affairs. Don’t get my fiancée involved.”
