My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins novel Chapter 32

Having received everyone’s attention and be in the limelight all of a sudden, Florence was startled and only reacted shortly. It was no wonder Ernest wanted her to follow him everywhere tonight. It turned out he wanted her to become his shield. “Miss Davidson, it’s a pleasure to meet you. I’ll have the drink with you.” She took up a wine glass gracefully and swirled the liquid inside casually. The ring she wore on her finger was exceptionally conspicuous.

The crowds subconsciously looked towards Ernest’s finger and they found an exact same style of ring for men as expected. The heart of countless women who were coveting Ernest all broke, and no one wanted to approach him to embarrass themselves anymore. Ernest stared at the woman who was demonstrating her authority in front of him with satisfactions and his mood lightened up greatly. It looked like having that kind of feeling was still not bad.

Meanwhile, Harold was pulling down a long face. He had finally let Ernest to be his shield with difficulty yet he did not expect that he would start to act lovey-dovey with Florence. Now that the women all knew they would not have any chance, they would once again turn towards him. Anthony laughed when he saw him looking miserable. “Serve you right. You should have been aware that your plan might fail when you dared trick Ernest Hawkins.” Harold gave him a kick and said, “Get lost.”

Evelyn Wallace was fixing her eyes on Florence among the crowds and she was in deep shock. She was boiling with rage shortly. She squeezed herself out of the crowd while pushing people all the way and stepped out, pointing at Florence and said with a loud voice, “I want to ask this lady a question, are you the one doing business on Taobao?” Florence was stupefied when she saw her. What a coincidence that Evelyn was here too. Having remembered she had pretended to be Cooper’s girlfriend yesterday to irritate Evelyn and make her leave, how should she explain under this circumstance?

The crowds which were going to scatter all gathered once more due to Evelyn’s words, and they stood there watching the fun while in confusion. Seeing Florence not uttering a word for a long time, someone who was curious could not help but question, “Hi, may I know what you meant? Did you know Mr. Hawkins’ fiancée? Why did you say she’s doing business on Taobao?”

“Because there’s a business on Taobao called ‘renting girlfriend’!” Evelyn looked at Florence with sarcasm and contempt. Her words had once again stirred up the crowds and there was a flurry of discussions.

“Renting girlfriend on Taobao? The one costs 800 yuan per day and could bring back for New Year celebration?”

“Could it be what she meant was this lady is an impostor? That she’s not Mr. Hawkins’ fiancée?”

“Now I know she’s only fake…”

The discussion sounds both high and low were heard by Ernest and he pulled down a long face. He stared at the woman and rumbled with a threatening voice, “Do you know what price would you pay if you dare talking nonsense?”

Evelyn realized she had made a mistake in what she said and her face instantly went cadaverous. She quickly explained, “Mr. Hawkins, I didn’t mean that, I…” As if reluctant to hear the woman’s voice anymore, Ernest waved his hand in impatience and ordered coldly, “Get her out of here.” The moment he finished his words, several fierce-looking bodyguards appeared out of nowhere from the main hall and dragged her out of the hall like they were dragging a piece of garbage.

Evelyn was so frightened that her face went pale. Those who were shoved out by Ernest would be repelled from the upper class circle, and she still had not gotten married into a wealthy family yet. “Mr. Hawkins, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, please forgive me this time.” She pleaded with fear yet the bodyguards were not moved at all and they soon got her out of the hall. Her yell gradually faded away and the main hall was shrouded with a gloomy atmosphere.

Everyone had only noticed Ernest’s handsome look at first sight, they only realized now that he was the Mr. Hawkins that had immense power who could easily ruined a person’s future whenever he was unhappy. Nobody dared to say anything further and the crowds scattered as if nothing had happened before. Florence managed to survive the farce without other accident and she heaved a sigh of relief. Yet when she turned around, she saw Ernest looking at her with a threatening and gloomy look. She forced out a smile and said, “Mr. Hawkins, do hear me out.” Ernest pursed his lips and did not utter a word.

“It was actually a misunderstanding. I was having dinner with my friend yesterday and Evelyn came pestering us. Therefore my friend lied that I was his girlfriend in order to make her gave up.” Florence looked at him with uneasiness. “I didn’t expect it to be such a coincidence that I’ll see her here.” The incident had nearly turned into a scandal. “You do like to become a shield for other people.” Ernest looked straight at her and his lofty figure approached her dangerously. He then questioned her slowly, “But what about me, as your fiancé?”
