Chapter 581

+25 Borate

Wanda had a look of disgust when she felt Connor’s gaze on her. She absolutely despised marriage alliances and arranged marriages, yet she also knew this was the fate of those born into prominent, distinguished familles.

Just then, she noticed Ashton coming in. Once she recalled the way they’d flirted in the past, her eyes flashed with a bright glint. She turned to Julia and Connor, saying, “Mom, Connor, I already have a boyfriend.”

“What did you say?”

Connor and Julia shot to their feet at the same time, their expressions dark.

Julia stared straight into Wanda’s eyes, as if trying to discern whether the latter was telling the truth.

Meanwhile, Connor had already clenched his fists, feeling as though he’d been cheated on.

Wanda was the woman he desired the most. How could she already have another man in her life? More importantly, was she still a virgin?

He nearly had a meltdown.

Scowling, he questioned darkly, “What’s the meaning of this, Mrs. Shepherd? Are the Shepherds trying to pull a fast one over the Heavenly Medical Pavilion?”

“Mr. McGrath, this is just a misunderstanding! Wanda is being silly. I know her situation better than anyone. There are no men in her life!” Julia swiftly declared.

After appeasing Connor, she turned to Wanda and snapped, “Listen to me, Wanda! Stop being so impulsive. I’ve already accepted the marriage agreement and the wedding gifts. No one in a tiny place like Javonbury is worthy of you.

“Connor, the heir of the Heavenly Medical Pavilion, is the perfect match for you. You need to trust that I chose the right man for you. There’s no way I could be wrong about this!”

“If you were so good at picking men, you wouldn’t have chosen my dad,” Wanda retorted sarcastically.

Julia’s expression immediately grew stormy.

“I really do have a boyfriend, Mom. Please stop forcing me into this. It just so happens that my boyfriend came to see me today. I’ll introduce him to you. This is Ashton Gray!”

Avoiding Julia’s gaze, Wanda jogged over to Ashton and grabbed his arm intimately. She gave him a look before turning back to Julia and Connor, saying, “This is my boyfriend. He’s handsome, right?”

Boyfriend?

Ashton was momentarily stunned, but he quickly figured it out–she was using him as a cover. It seemed she was dissatisfied

with her blind date.

He glanced at Connor, who looked decent enough. However, there was something about his demeanor that felt sinister and

cold, which made Ashton uncomfortable.

Flames nearly erupted from Connor’s eyes when he saw Wanda leaning against Ashton. That was his fiancee! No other man was allowed to touch her, not even for a second!

The intimacy between Wanda and Ashton had crossed the line for him.

“Get your filthy hands off her!” he snarled, his veins popping.

“Wanda Shepherd! Stop pretending! There’s no way he’s your boyfriend!” Julia snapped. “You don’t need to resort to such tricks just to anger me. This won’t change anything. It’ll simply leave you with a bigger disadvantage!”

She was just pretending?

Connor studied Ashton and Wanda again. True enough, although they seemed to be huddled up intimately, there was a slight distance between them still. They didn’t look like a real couple.

He secretly exhaled in relief, though he was already determined to kill Ashton. No man could sully his woman like that. Once he got back, he was going to send someone to get rid of Ashton. This was the price Ashton had to pay for touching Wanda.

“Why won’t you believe me, Mom? Ashton really is my boyfriend! We’ve been together for some time now,” Wanda cried out somewhat frantically.

Not only did she not have a favorable impression of Connor, but she even loathed him to the core. There was no way she’d marry someone like him.

Julia’s eyes flashed darkly as she turned to Ashton. “Let go of my daughter, young man. I don’t care whether you’re her boyfriend or not. Either way, you’re not worthy of her. Don’t bring disaster upon yourself, or you might even end up dead.”
