Chapter 10 Is She Being Kept as a Mistress?
Sir Smith was not happy that Wendy was pregnant at all!
Given his understanding of Wendy, whether the news was true, or whether the child was really Joeâs, was still in question. He would never allow her to act behind his back!
It was Sir Smith who prevented Joe from marrying her!
Having been with Joe for many years, how could Wendy not know what he originally wanted to say?
But all this was interrupted by Sir Smith!
She glared resentfully at Sir Smith and then quickly lowered her head.
Joe could only pat her, âLetâs talk about it later.â
Wendy knew that Joe would not defy Sir Smith in public, so she obediently nodded, âAlright, Iâll listen to you.â
Seeing the young and attractive couple in front of her, Mia scoffed, raising her glass, âCongratulations, Mr. Smith, on your blessed child.â
Although she spoke words of blessing, she didnât touch a drop of the wine, and carelessly placed the glass on a nearby table before Even Sir Smith could not face her to stop her, and he only glared at Joe, snorting indifferently before turning to leave.
Joe watched Miaâs departing figure, his face darkening.
Miss Clinton, youâ¦â.
Frank, who had been standing nearby, noticed Miaâs face didnât look good and hurriedly approached to check on her.
This scene was caught by Wendy, who was being congratulated. by everyone, and a plan quickly formed in her mind.
So, under Wendyâs subtle hints, the attention of the crowd gradually shifted to Mia.
âDidnât Miss White go abroad? Why has she suddenly come back? Could there be some problem?â
âShe must have failed abroad! How could there be a Smith family abroadâ¦â The speaker seemed to realize that they had said something wrong and immediately covered her mouth.
But Wendy didnât mind at all. Instead, she gently covered her belly, âJoe and I are very happy now.
Although Miss White took a wrong turn, we are still willing to help her.â
Who among those present wasnât shrewd?
One was Joeâs disliked ex-wife; the other was the pregnant future Mrs. Smith of the Smith family. Anyone with a brain should know whom to choose.
So, with the gossip spreading among the crowd, Mia became the pitiful woman who couldnât make it abroad and had to return home to be kept by someone.
Although no one foolishly brought it up in front of Mia, their strange glances still alerted her that something was wrong.
âDo you need me to find out whatâs going on?â Frank, too, sensed something off and quickly asked Mia.
Mia shook her head, her ironic smile more evident, her eyes precisely falling on Wendy, who was radiating triumph not far away, âNo need. They only know how to take advantage of their words.â
When she was first found by the Horizon Group, she encountered much worse. Compared to that, this was nothing.
Seeing Miaâs calm expression, Frank was somewhat puzzled, âWhy donât you let me announce your identity? If they knew that you have the support of Horizon Group, they wouldnât dare to talk behind your back.â
Miaâs eyes swept around the room, âItâs not the time yet.â
She had to deal with the disgusting White family first, making them spit out all the advantages they had taken.
She had initially come to the banquet to meet some members of the White family. However, she hadnât expected that within just five short years, the White family had fallen to the point where they couldnât even get into a Smith family banquet.
âWatch out!â
As Mia was lost in thought, Frankâs warning sounded, and she skillfully dodged, a glass of champagne splashing on the floor.
Amy, who had appeared from somewhere, apologized without any sincerity, âMiss White, sorry, I didnât mean to.â
After saying this, she winked at a group of women not far away, who immediately burst into laughter.
Frank frowned, surprised to find such a person at the Smith familyâs banquet.
As he was about to speak, he saw Mia, expressionless, stopping the triumphantly departing woman, âAre you just going to leave like that?â
Amy shrugged nonchalantly, âIâve already apologized, what else do you want?â
Mia looked at her for a moment, then picked up a nearby glass of wine, pouring it over Amyâs head.
Amy hadnât expected Mia to dare to take action against her at the Smith family banquet, and the icy wine made her shiver and scream.
