Those questions were like blood-sucking leeches that dug into everyone’s brains, influencing their
thoughts and opinions.
Now, the truth was finally laid bare for everyone to see Guinevere had been lying all these years.
Her fans online were up in a furore. None of them could believe that their adored idol was such a shady
person behind the scenes!
But however dramatic the reactions of people online was, it was incomparable to the reactions of those
who were present and had seen everything go down with their own eyes.
“I can’t believe she still had the audacity to show up here even after doing all those horrible things ! Not
to mention how she tried to make herself look like the victim despite everything!”
“I had a bad feeling about her the moment she appeared. Who in their right mind would show up at
their ex-boyfriend’s engagement party and say all those things? She wasn’t just trying to make herself
look like the victim-she was blatantly trying to win Weston back!”
“How shameless! After all the things she’s done! I wouldn’t dare show my face here if I was her!”
Murmurs and whispers of this sort spread through the crowd.
“Shut up!” Guinevere shrieked. She couldn’t take it anymore and was beginning to lose her mind. “Shut
up, all of you!”
Seeing that Guinevere was on the verge of losing her sanity, Chris desperately tried his best to lead her
down the stage.
“Let’s go home now,” he told her with a gloomy face.
“No!” Guinevere refused to budge. With reddened eyes, she pleaded, “You have to help me, Chris!
Please help me!”
She looked straight into his eyes and added, “You’re Weston’s father. I know you can help me! You
must help me!”
Tears streamed down her cheeks. She looked utterly pitiful.
“Nothing they said is true…” she muttered. “I’m not a homewrecker ! You know that, don’t you? You
know how long I’ve been in love with Weston! How can I be the homewrecker when I’ve been by his
side all along?”
“Of course,” Chris comforted her. There was nothing more he could do right now as everyone around
them was eyeing Guinevere with suspicion and contempt. “I believe you, Gwen, but now is not the time
to do anything. Don’t worry. I’ll definitely help you, just not right now. Let me take you home…”
Guinevere hesitated and looked as if she wanted to argue, but Chris gripped her arm and held her
closer to him before leading her somewhat forcefully away from the prying eyes.
Meanwhile, Wendy watched on in her seat with a cold and stony look on her face. Zachary was still on
her lap, happily bouncing up and down and completely oblivious to the commotion going on around
him.
“Granny!” he cried out, pinching Wendy’s cheek with his chubby fingers.
Zachary had begun to speak, but while other kids his age had already learned how to say mommy and
daddy, Zach was still fumbling in his speech. The only word he could say right now was granny.
“Yes, my dear.” Wendy turned her gaze toward the boy, and without a change in her expression, she
stroked his little face and told him, “I’m here, darling. Are you hungry?”:
A lady who sat near her turned to her worriedly and asked,” Aren’t you going to go over there too?”
Even Chris had gone up there, so it seemed a little odd that Wendy did not join him.
Others in the crowd wondered why Chris and Guinevere seemed so strangely close to each other, but
none of them dared to say anything about it. After all, such speculations seemed baseless at the
moment. Furthermore, what had transpired today was scandalous enough that everyone was still
reeling from it. No one had the time to notice the weirdly intimate relationship between Chris and
Guinevere.
Someone even thought it was a good idea to give Wendy the following advice
“I know the Ford and Cohen families may still want to maintain a good relationship, but since
Guinevere’s not engaged to Weston anymore, you should remind Chris that he doesn’t need to be so
concerned about Guinevere anymore, Wendy.”
The person who had said that might have truly meant well, but Wendy could not listen to it without
turning cold and aloof.
“You can’t say that,” she replied with a thin wry smile. “You’re forgetting that Guinevere is still Zach’s
mother.”
“Oh!” the person changed their tune when they saw Wendy’s icy expression. “I’ve completely forgotten
about that!”
After that, no one ever brought up the topic to Wendy again. Most people were still in shock after
having learned such staggering things about Guinevere anyway.
