My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins novel Chapter 471

“No, it’s not like that…”

Florence spoke in panic. Facing pairs of questioning and persecuting eyes, her tongue became dry and she didn’t know how to explain.

Her mind was a panicky mess.

Benjamin narrowed his eyes maliciously, but his expressions looked considerate.

“Flory, I know you have Ernest in your heart. But if that is the case, you don’t need to cover for him. What he did is immoral.”

The pompous words spoken from the commanding height of morality didn’t help in the least, instead pushed her and Ernest on the crest of the storm.

The rumors had been circulating during this period and now, each sentence of every topic lead to Florence and Ernest.

The lie was told so many times that it became the truth, and more importantly, it was still the truth.

Florence was extremely flustered. Her face turned pale and she didn’t know how to refute this matter powerfully once and for all.

She could only refute bluntly, “It is not like you said…”

“Flory, actually no one is blaming you. They can all understand you. But it is not good to scam others after all. Clarence is Ernest and everyone already knows it. It can’t be concealed anymore.”

Benjamin spoke earnestly as if saying this for her best while blocking anything she tried to say in explanation.

Florence’s face changed colors from white to red and her heart became even more flustered. She was too anxious.

After so many difficulties, she was finally able to stay with Ernest happily and comfortably. It hadn’t even been a few days of happiness yet. If this question was raised, was she going to be forced apart from Ernest again?

Florence’s heart hurt just thinking about it.

Florence’s chest felt uncomfortably suffocated. Just as she felt depressed and wanted to cry, she heard the man’s voice sound out naturally.

“How did I not know about this? Since when did I become Ernest?”

Clarence walked out calmly and gracefully from the side hall wearing a dark blue suit. A small graceful smile full of irony played on the corner of his mouth.

His gaze swept consciously across all the people present and finally fell on Benjamin. He didn’t attempt to conceal the contempt in his eyes even a little bit.

Being rejected in public, the color of Benjamin’s face was a little bit off.

Suppressing the urge to smash Clarence to pieces, Benjamin smiled at the corners of his mouth and raised his chin nobly.

He said, “Mr. Jenkins, no rumor is unfounded, let alone this matter. Right now, the whole Fraser family knows that you are Ernest. It doesn’t make sense to continue to insist on pretending. Why don’t you just confess leniently? Am I right, Uncle Ernest?”

Hearing the sharply targeting words, Florence’s temples began to throb.

She looked at Clarence nervously, stepped forward subconsciously and grabbed his arm.

Her figure moved forward a little, blocking him a little from view as if protecting him.

“They are just talking nonsense. Don’t worry about it. You don’t have to be a part of such senseless things. I will take care of it; you can go back to your room.”

Florence anxiously wanted Ernest to leave first. After all, if he wasn’t there, things would not be completely sure and there might be some room for maneuver.

Clarence lowered his head a little and glanced at Florence’s little hand that was holding on to his arm.

Then he smiled with his thin lips and said softly.
