Chapter 273
Susan stole a glimpse at the tall and intimidating man beside her, feeling the indifference exuding from every fiber of his body.
Samuel had an angular jawline, a straight nose, and a cold gaze that could send chills down people‘s spines as though it was a long winter‘s night.
In the past, she thought of him as an elegant yet reserved man, someone she could barely understand.
At that moment, however, it was the first time she feared him.
Susan shuddered and tugged at the hem of his shirt as she tried to explain, “Samuel, it‘s not like that! She‘s trying to frame me. I‘ve never even thought about hurting Natalie. Please, you have to believe me!”
“Let go!” Samuel demanded.
“Samuel–”
“Get out of my sight!” he spat as he glared at her like she was some low–life scum.
With that, Susan turned pale and loosened her grip.
Meanwhile, Phoebe was still going on about Susan as Wyatt and his wife were in a brawl with Winnie and her husband. The whole banquet was in chaos.
Alfred knew that if his granddaughter tarnished her reputation, it would be hard for her to marry into a good family and she would become an outcast from then on.
He was a man who had been through a lot, so it was easy for him to figure out that Susan was definitely involved.
At that point, there was nothing much he could do but give up on Phoebe and try to defend Susan, no matter what.
“How shameless of you to even think of dragging Susan down with you! Stop with all your nonsense!” Alfred‘s face was flushed with rage. “Is no one going to take this eyesore away? Are you all just going to make a fool of yourselves in front of outsiders?”
With that, it meant that things were coming to a close.
