She tried to hide the unease on her face and avoided the disappointment and questioning in Aubrey's eyes. With a joyous glint in her eye, she uttered, "Aubrey and I are about to cut the cake on stage, why not partake before departing?"
Why did it get to this point?
Aubrey had agreed to cut the cake together and announce their relationship!
Even if Navier dared to play tricks on her like this, she would not make this woman feel better!
She reached out and held Aubrey's hand, "Aubrey, let's go."
Cathy's eyes widened and she smiled sweetly as if the interruption just now had never happened.
She was confident that Aubrey would agree with her.
Aubrey really followed her footsteps and walked to the stage.
"This Aubrey, there's no way to save him!" Fredrica spat, "I really want to open his head to see what he's thinking!"
She was very angry. If it was not for Lucas to pull her back, she would probably have ran over and bashed Aubrey's head open.
Navier lowered her gaze and smiled.
Whatever was on his mind had nothing to do with her.
"Let's go," she said.
From behind, looking at Navier, a triumphant smile appeared on Cathy's face.
Navier, if you fight with her, you would only lose!
Before her smile could take shape, a figure suddenly appeared, "What are you going to do?!"
It was Navier and Fredrica who were stopped.
It was Diana who stopped them!
Seeing Diana, Fredrica frowned and was about to tell her to move when Diana raised her eyebrows and shouted, "Why are you in such a hurry to cut the cake, Cathy? I'm sorry, but our Spencer family can't afford someone like you, so I advise you to give up."
"Yo, this is..."
Fredrica originally thought that Diana was here to trouble them, but she actually contradicted Cathy.
After Diana finished shouting, she turned to look at Navier, "I heard that you and the owner of Starlight Media have no relationship at all. It's all made up."
"If that's the case, then remarry my brother."
"What!"
The guests almost gasped in shock.
What kind of gossip did they hear? The sister-in-law personally helped the ex-wife to get back together with her ex-husband.
The guests were stunned for a moment. They were reluctant to blink for fear of missing anything.
In the distance, Cathy clenched her fingers and bit her lower lip. She wanted to sew up Diana's mouth!
"Shut up, Diana!" Aubrey did not want to continue listening to her and scolded her.
Diana hummed for a while, "Don't think that I'm still a child and don't understand anything, Brother. Yes, I don't know how to do business, but I understand human relations! She's never done anything out of the ordinary. She's much more reliable than some women who have been cheating from the start of their relationship!"
"I don't mind if you like to wear a cuckold, but if she married into our family, I would be the first to disagree! Our family can't afford to lose face!"
Diana did not like Navier, but she could not accept Cathy.
When she revealed the truth about Cathy's cheating, Cathy's face was extremely dull.
She was trembling like a sieve, unable to stand up.
"Better than your sisters!" Fredrica generously gave Diana a thumbs up, "When you go back, I'll accept you as my apprentice!"
It was so cool.
Diana snorted, "Navier, you can go back to the family now, I support you!"
"No need." Navier took a step back and shook her head lightly, "I no longer have feelings for Mr. Spencer. I never thought about getting married to him again."
The moment she finished speaking, the center of Aubrey's eyebrows tightened!
Did Navier actually say that he had no feelings for him anymore?
Did she really reject Diana's proposal so straightforwardly?
He did not think that Diana's rhetoric was right, but Navier's tone of outright refusal was like a sharp knife, gouging out into his chest at once.
It was extremely uncomfortable.
"Your brother has been soaked in dog shit for so long, my best friend thinks it's dirty!" Fredrica's mouth was the most poisonous, and she demoted Cathy to nothing.
Cathy was so angry that she almost spewed out of anger. She shouted, "Fredrica, don't go too far!"
There was a warning in her eyes.
The meaning was obvious.
She would use Aubrey's power to do something to Fredrica.
In the end, Fredrica was the one who cried first.
Lucas looked at her lover through the rearview mirror and sighed silently.
A trace of remorse crossed his eyebrows.
Navier returned home.
Iris was propping her chin in anger.
Before, she had been in the countryside with her grandfather and did not want to come back.
"The kid just came back from school and did now want to talk to anyone." Amy shook her head helplessly.
Amy was her newly hired nanny, who specially took care of Iris.
"Understood, Amy, you should get off work first," Navier said gently.
Amy nodded and left.
Only then did Navier walk up to Iris.
When Iris saw her, she pouted, "Mommy, I don't want to come back. I want to live with my grandfather and learn to make shoes from him!"
"Let's go back now and find Grandfather."
Navier helplessly hugged Iris's small body, "Mother has to work here, and Iris also has to go to school, so you can't live with Grandfather."
Hearing her say that, although Iris did not say anything else, her mouth was still pouting.
Navier had no choice but to take her out to the small park to catch butterflies.
There were many people in the small park, including other children.
Only then did Iris smile again, and after a while, she started to play with the other children.
Navier watched as Iris ran away swiftly, the corners of her lips curling into a smile.
At first, even though it was a near-death situation, luckily, she survived.
Iris was now thriving, and she was relieved.
Just as she was thinking, she suddenly realized that there was someone not far away, also looking at Iris.
She closed her eyes and recognized the person, her face changing slightly.
