Fanny sat at the bar with her legs crossed and took out a pack of cigarettes. Knowing that Lauren and the other two didn’t smoke, she just lit a cigarette for herself.
She was beautiful and looked even more charming when she smoked. She also had the aura of a boss.
Fanny blew out a smoke ring. “Lauren, don’t blame us for saying this. Have you been blinded by love? Logically speaking, how could a sensible and worldly girl like you
believe Jordan’s nonsense?
“All the bars in England belong to his family? Pfft! Luckily, I didn’t attend your wedding. If I did, I would have slapped him when he said that! My husband is from a
distinguished family in England. He has close ties with all the top families, the royal family and even political figures. Even we don’t dare to claim that we have the ability to
buy all the bars in England.”
Lauren was not a soft, weak woman. She was very angry that someone was talking like that about the man she loved!
Lauren retorted, “Fanny, you don’t know my husband, so please don’t spout nonsense. My husband has no reason to lie to me, because I’m not a woman who is greedy for
power and money. Even if he doesn’t have money, I would still like him!”
Fanny raised her glass and said, “My dear, you don’t understand. You don’t value family background and status, but your parents do. He might not have lied because of you,
but he lied to deceive your parents.”
Zara and Beatrice were on Fanny’s side for this. They supported her crusade against Jordan.
“That’s right, Lauren. Aunty never liked Jordan, right? Maybe he’s just trying to deceive your parents.”
“In my opinion, Jordan is definitely a poor man! He didn’t even buy a house when he married Lauren. How can a man who can’t even buy a house be called a man?”
“Also, Lauren’s red jeep was destroyed by one of Jordan’s subordinates.”
“He didn’t buy a house after getting married and even destroyed your car. He should have compensated you, but Lauren, you ended up paying for a new Bentley Continental
yourself.”
Zara and Beatrice knew more about Jordan and Lauren, so once they started talking, they couldn’t stop.
On the side, Fanny took a sip of wine. She was shocked. “Oh my god, did that happen? Living in his wife’s house, destroying her car, not compensating a single cent, and
getting his wife to buy another car? Isn’t Jordan too shameless?”
Lauren got very anxious. “It’s not what you think… hey, sorry, I’m not drinking.”
Lauren had planned to explain to Fanny that Jordan did not pay for a car and house because his bank account had been frozen. Therefore, he could not take out a single
cent.
But before she could explain, the waitress was pouring wine for her.
Lauren didn’t want to drink and hurriedly pulled her wine glass over. But the wine had already started to flow out of the bottle and it splattered on Lauren’s sleeve.
“Sorry, sorry!”
The waitress quickly apologized.
Lauren waved her hand. “Forget it. I’ll go to the washroom to clean up.”
Lauren got up and walked toward the washroom.
After Lauren left, Fanny and the other two spoke with even more impudence.
