Chapter177
Kyson has always been smooth with people, but he never really
indulged Evangeline’s princess attitude, so they often bickered
whenever they met from childhood to adulthood.
Evangeline sneered and didn’t want to waste time arguing with
Kyson.
Today at the Duarte family’s birthday banquet, all the guests
were their close friends, relatives, and celebrities from the
political and business circles.
If someone found out that Terrence married a mute, it would
really damage Terrence’s reputation.
Evangeline mocked Bethany with a glance, “You’ve got some
skills, getting Kyson to speak for you. Look at how flashy you’re
dressed, are you trying to embarrass Terrence completely? Go
back quickly, don’t make a fool of yourself here.”
Kyson pulled Bethany behind him, with a gentle expression but
a hint of anger, “No wonder she wants a divorce, are all you
McConnell family members treating her like this?”
Evangeline narrowed her eyes and said coldly, “Kyson, you’re
Chapter177
being too nosy. She’s mute, I didn’t say anything wrong. Did she
tell you she wants a divorce?”
Bethany came out from behind Kyson, holding a phone, typed a
message, and handed the phone to Evangeline.
“I did want to divorce Terrence, and please stop bothering me,
I’m not going back today!“”
She won’t compromise her life for anyone in the McConnell
family anymore.
Sir Duarte liked her paper cutting. Kyson dared to taunt
Terrence’s younger brother. She wanted to hold onto this
relationship.
The birthday banquet, she had to attend.
Evangeline was furious, “Are you not going back because you
want everyone to know you’re Terrence’s wife?”
Bethany quickly typed out a line, “I’m getting a divorce from
him, don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone about our relationship.”
Evangeline angrily nodded, “Fine, you’re not going back, right?
Should I call Terrence now?”
Evangeline took out her phone, Kyson frowned and said,
Calling Terrence won’t help, she didn’t come as Mrs. McConnell,
she’s a special guest invited by my grandfather today”
Evangeline put down her phone.
“I haven’t even asked how you guys met? And she actually
knows your grandpa? Kyson, don’t lie to me, I remember you
had a problem with Terrence before, Terrence didn’t argue with
you about anything, did you meet Bethany, knowing she’s
mute, intentionally finding so many reasons to bring her to
your family’s banquet, trying to discredit Terrence, let everyone
know he married a mute?”
Kyson said in a cool, calm voice, “How did a silent Mrs.
McConnell manage to smear him?”
“What are you guys arguing about?”
A familiar deep and solemn voice came through.
Kyson and Evangeline looked over and saw Lucian walking
towards them with a blank expression on his face.
Evangeline glanced at Bethany and was absolutely furious.
Now everyone would definitely know that Terrence married a
mute.
Kyson confidently said, “Evangeline thinks Bethany wouldn’t
Chapter 177
speak up, embarrassing Terrence. Lucian, you tell the truth, how did Bethany embarrass Terrence?”
Evangeline kinda wanted to punch Kyson, she adores her
brother, doesn’t want her perfect little brother to have any
flaws, Kyson is just asking for it.
Lucian’s gaze swept over Bethany.
Today she was even more beautiful.
“Evangeline, Bethany was Terrence’s wife. Terrence didn’t say
anything and didn’t feel embarrassed. Why do you think she’s
embarrassed? I didn’t see anything embarrassing about her.”
Evangeline lowered her eyes and exclaimed, “Even you know
she’s Terrence’s wife?”
Lucian raised an eyebrow, “Hmm, three days ago at Ruby Club,
Terrence was with us, she was there too, Rigoberto said she was
mute, and Terrence got angry.”
Evangeline coldly smirked, staring at Bethany with displeasure,
“You really know how to stir up trouble, huh? Why can’t you
just behave yourself as Mrs. McConnell at Vespera Villa? Why
do you have to come out and make a scene, getting everyone
talking! If you have the time for this, why don’t you go
challenge Krista and hang out in Terrence’s circle of friends?”
Chapter177
“Evangeline McConnell!” Kyson called out her name, “Bethany is
my guest, show some respect to her. She came over today,
Terrence knows too. If you want to throw a tantrum, go talk to
your brother first.”
Evangeline’s face turned pale and then green. Even though she
and Kyson had been bickering since they were kids, it didn’t
affect their relationship. When they went outside, Kyson
always had her back. But this time, for Bethany, he was not
being very polite to her.
When you’re at a disadvantage, people tend to instinctively seek
help. Evangeline looked at Lucian and said, “Lucian, what’s
Kyson’s attitude towards me?”
Lucian said nonchalantly, “You’re
take a look at how you treat Boy’s aunt after all, so
Evangeline was almost freaking out.
first!”
Both of these guys, they actually spoke up for Bethany.
She pointed at Kyson, then at Lucian, “You guys… are driving me
crazy!”
