Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1488

"Mrs. Houston!"

After her greeting, Sienna's gaze snapped to Lorelei's face, asking with pointed malice, "Why are you all alone? Did Dr. Houston not come with you?"

"He isn't here yet."

Lorelei lifted her eyelids slightly, her tone as bland as plain water.

"The gala is almost over and he still isn't here?" Sienna crossed her arms, her tone dripping with sarcasm. "Could it be that he never planned on escorting you at all?"

Lorelei frowned. Harold had explicitly told the housekeeper he would be here, so he would definitely come.

He wasn't the type to make empty promises. If he couldn't make it, it was because the surgery ran late.

"Whether he comes or not has absolutely nothing to do with you, Ms. Vaughn." Lorelei sat calmly, speaking slowly. "You people are seriously bizarre. Why are you all so obsessed with my husband?"

"Who's obsessed with your—"

Sienna wanted to snap back but realized her argument contradicted itself. She abruptly shifted gears: "Joel, my mother has something she urgently needs to discuss with you."

"Right now?" Joel frowned.

"Yes."

Sienna forced a sweet smile, stepping forward to proactively link her arm through his. "It's pretty urgent. You should go see her."

"Alright."

Joel gently detached her arm and said to Lorelei, "I'll go check on her."

"Go ahead." Lorelei offered a faint smile, watching Joel walk away.

When she pulled her gaze back.

She found Sienna glaring at her with venomous eyes. "Lawyer Garner isn't Harold Houston. He isn't someone you can just trick into marriage. You better keep your hands off him."

Lorelei's brow furrowed, a string of question marks flashing across her mind.

Was this girl insane?!

"Furthermore, the Garner family would never accept a discarded wife as their daughter-in-law."

"??"

Two more question marks popped into Lorelei's head.

Seriously.

Was there something medically wrong with her brain?
