Chapter 335
in the corner, Chloe Bennett and Sandra Bennett exchanged quick glances.
Sandra stood up immediately. Since Ethan has something to say in private, let them go talk. I’ll keep you company
or a bit.”
She walked over to Miranda Hale and gently nudged her to sit on the sofa.
Miranda brushed her hand away. “Haven’t we already said everything we needed to say?”
Don’t be angry. I was just being impulsive earlier. We can’t let the kids ruin our friendship, Sandra said, pivoting back to her supportive persona. “Besides Ethan, you still have Lila. I only have Chloe, so my heart just aches for her. Don’t be mad at me…”
Meanwhile, Derek Bennett followed Leo Martinez out of the living room.
Leo relayed Ethan’s words exactly and handed Derek several business cards.
What is this supposed to mean?” Derek asked, confused.
Mr. Bennett, if you don’t understand, you can ask your daughter,” Leo replied respectfully. “Mr. Hale said that once you’ve spoken with Ms. Bennett, if you’re still confused, he will explain it to you personally.”
Derek’s brow furrowed.
Additionally, Mr. Hale asked me to pass along one more thing: no one in the Hale family can make decisions for im. If the Bennett family has any dissatisfaction with this marriage or with him, you can come to him directly. If ou can’t reach him, you can come to me, and I will relay the message.”
Leo had worked for Ethan for a long time, and he carried a shadow of Ethan’s imposing aura.
Derek hesitated for a few seconds, then went back inside, gathered his wife and daughter, and left.
By then, Sandra had already managed to pacify Miranda.
Though Miranda was still annoyed, the fact that she hadn’t said anything more biting was her way of giving
Sandra face.
she stopped Leo as he tried to leave. ‘What did Ethan have you say to the Bennetts?”
Ms. Hale, Mr. Hale said you shouldn’t worry about his affairs.” Leo hesitated, unsure if he should
say
Miranda saw right through him. “Keep talking!”
I…” Leo gritted his teeth and blurted it all out in one breath. “Mr. Hale said that worrying too much causes wrinkles. He wants you to stay out of his business from now on!”
‘Don’t worry” was the polite version Leo had tried to frame in his head. He had intended to be tactful, but Miranda’s sharp eyes had forced the truth out of him.
Miranda froze in place.
Leo took the opportunity to bolt.

Why are you asking her? How would we know?” Sandra said, shielding Chloe. “I think Ethan just wants to back >ut of the wedding. I’m telling you, you better take your daughter’s side!”
Are you two hiding something from me?” Derek demanded.
No!” Sandra denied it instantly-so instantly that Chloe felt even more guilty.
I don’t care what you two are up to; this marriage must happen. Otherwise, the Hales only lose face, but their tatus won’t change. Our family will lose both face and status. Besides, it will be hard for Chloe to find someone suitable’ after this!”
3y “suitable,” Derek meant someone with a better background than the Bennetts. There were plenty of families in Northbrook better than theirs, but they would all care about Chloe’s very public “relationship” with Ethan.
