Breaking Point of Divorce (Hugh and Bethan) novel Chapter 312

Chapter 312 Two Against One

Down in the first-floor banquet hall, Bethan greeted

Tristen.

Before she could say more, Elsie cut in. “Today’s the Dixon family’s little princess’s coming-of-age bash. Dr. Olsen, what gift did you bring for Ms. Dixon?”

Bethan glanced at Elsie-obviously here to stir up trouble -and didn’t bother responding.

Elsie’s two friends raised their voices on purpose. “Elsie, which rich family is this Dr. Olsen from?”

Elsie cleared her throat. “Actually, Dr. Olsen isn’t from any wealthy family. She’s Mr. Cavill’s ex-wife.”

Legitimate or not, she was still a Davis. She’d make Bethan regret crossing her.

The surrounding guests overheard and started murmuring.

Arthur spoke before he thought. He pointed at Elsie and asked Tristen, “Mr. Tristen Dixon, where’d you up his

eyesore? Hurry up and bury her back where you found her.”

Arthur’s words got a laugh out of the crowd, and Elsie’s face turned red on the spot.

But she didn’t dare mess with Arthur, so she put on a pitiful act. “Mr. Locke, I never did anything to you. Even if you’re tight with Dr. Olsen, you can’t talk about me like that.”

Tristen gave Elsie a cold look. “Ms. Davis, Dr. Olsen is an honored guest of the Dixon family.”

Tristen’s words were a clear warning, and Elsie caught on. Embarrassment washed over her face.

Bethan stood her ground, staring calmly at Elsie.

Elsie’s public jab was just an attempt to label her as “Mr. Cavill’s ex-wife”-implying she was nobody special, that without that title, she had no right to be at this party.

Bethan stepped up to Elsie. “Last week, the Davis family kicked you out. Should I keep calling you Ms. Davis, or do you prefer the Davis family’s illegitimate daughter”?”

Elsie snapped. “I have a name! If you keep spouting nonsense, I’ll tear your mouth open!”

As Elsie shouted, Henry hugged Bethan’s leg protectively. “Madam, didn’t your daddy teach you that yelling at people is super rude?”

“You!”

Elsie was left tongue-tied.

Bethan lifted Henry into her arms and warned Elsie coldly. “Elsie, call me Ms. Olsen or Dr. Olsen. If you dare slap that ‘Mr. Cavill’s ex-wife’ label on me again, I won’t

be nice.”

She was just herself, no one’s accessory.

Not far away, Hugh watched Bethan publicly reject the “ex-wife” title and froze mid-step.

The thought that he and Bethan might never have a chance again sent a wave of panic through him.

Elsie got nowhere with Bethan and had been humiliated

in front of everyone. Her face looked terrible.

“Bethan, why waste breath on this loser?” Gwen said, arriving fashionably late in a sexy black dress. “If she dares mess with you, just slap her back.”

One of Elsie’s friends snapped at Gwen angrily. “This is Ms. Dixon’s birthday party. Who do you think you are, acting so high and mighty?”

Gwen exuded confidence and attitude. She walked up to the woman and looked down at her. “Who are you, talking to me like that?”

Elsie didn’t dare anger Gwen, so she pulled her friends

away.

Mason stopped Gwen from following.

Bethan noticed Hugh’s gaze fixed on her and frowned, but kept her composure in front of everyone.

Gloria, wearing a diamond tiara and a fairy-tale princess dress, walked up to Bethan. “Tristen, is this the girl you’re always raving about?”

Tristen corrected her firmly. “Show some respect.”

Gloria immediately linked arms with Bethan like they were old friends. “Bethan, you’re so beautiful!”

Bethan smiled and handed over her gift. “Thanks. Happy birthday.”

Gloria snuck a peek inside the jewelry box, her eyes widening before she snapped it shut. “You have amazing taste! I love it!”

Bethan glanced at Calvin. “Mr. Byron has great taste. He helped me pick it out.”

Arthur complained. “When did you two go gift shopping together? Why didn’t you invite me?”

The onlookers shot Hugh complicated looks.

Calvin explained politely. “Mr. Locke, don’t get it wrong. Dr. Olsen and I just ran into each other.”

Others might buy that, but Hugh didn’t.

He stood in the crowd, his dark eyes locked on Betha9:48

his possessiveness plain to see.

Gloria spotted Arthur and her eyes lit up. “Where’d this hottie come from? You’re so cute~”

Arthur dodged her reaching hands. “Young lady, you can talk, but keep your hands to yourself!”

******

At eight sharp, the banquet officially started.

Hugh stuck close to Philbert, but his gaze followed Bethan everywhere.

Bethan stayed by Calvin and Arthur’s sides, scanning the

room.

A lot of people had shown up, but she didn’t see James anywhere.

She turned to Calvin. “Mr. Byron, have you heard from Mr. Keating lately?”

When Calvin shook his head, worry crossed Bethan’s face.

James wouldn’t tell her, Isaac didn’t dare, and Hugh definitely knew what was going on, but he’d never share.

Bethan decided she’d go see James herself tomorrow.

Not far away, Mason nudged Hugh. “You’ve been staring all night, and Bethan won’t even glance your way. Still at
