Chapter 189
At this moment, Josephine's face was filled with embarrassment and she almost toppled over.
She had always been afraid of Helen. After being with Theodore, she had to meet Helen once every year. Every time, Helen treated her very coldly, and her eyes seemed to be able to see through a person's heart at a glance, which made Josephine panic.
Although Helen did not manage all the assets of the Godfrey Group directly, she held the real power of the Godfrey family. For so many years, she had been uncompromising. She could even drive her own son out of the family, so forget deciding on the marriage of the family's eldest grandson.
Seeing that the atmosphere was awkward, the butler stepped forward to smooth things over, "Miss Bailey, you're too kind. I'll accept it on behalf of Madam Scott."
The corners of Josephine's mouth twitched awkwardly as she moved to stand next to Mrs. Godfrey.
Mrs. Godfrey glanced at her, and her face was full of displeasure. She lowered her voice and said, "You had to choose this as her gift? What year is it now? You're still being superstitious?"
Josephine lowered her head and didn't dare to retort.
It was clear that Mrs. Godfrey was the one who said the last few words. If she hadn't insisted on talking about the pendant, it wouldn't have been so ugly.
When Mrs. Godfrey had nowhere to vent her anger, a figure behind her passed through layers of guests and hurried to her side to whisper a few words.
"What is it?"
The exclamation was not loud, but it was enough to be heard by everyone around. They all focused their eyes on Mrs. Godfrey's face.
At this time, Helen also raised her head. She glanced at Mrs. Godfrey and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
"It-it's nothing." Mrs. Godfrey's face was stiff.
It was obvious that it wasn't nothing, and something big was going on.
"What in the world happened?" Helen frowned and glanced at the messenger. "Tell me, what happened?"
It was Mrs. Godfrey's assistant who came to deliver the message. Mrs. Godfrey hesitated for a long time before she braced herself and said, "It's Mr. Allen..."
"Leon?" Helen looked around and said, "Yes, I haven't seen Leon yet. Where is he?"
The assistant carefully looked at Mrs. Godfrey, who was next to her, and stuttered, "Mr. Allen... seems to have drank too much."
"Drank too much? The banquet has just begun." Helen frowned and felt that something was wrong. "Where is Leon now? Take me to have a look."
All of a sudden, Theodore saw Helen being escorted by the crowd to the first floor. He suddenly felt that something wasn't right. He looked into the distance but didn't see Everleigh.
"Where is Everleigh?" He asked Moses who was next to him.
Moses was also stunned. He had been busy all this time, so he didn't pay attention to where Everleigh was and Theodore didn't tell him to do so.
Theodore seemed to have thought of something as he followed the crowd with wide strides.
At the door of the lounge on the second floor, as soon as everyone arrived, they saw a young woman in a light pink dress, banging on the door and shouting, "Leon, you b*stard, come out!"
The crowd burst into heated discussion.
"That's Leon's fiancee, the daughter of the Chilton Group."
"Of course, given Leon's reputation, people usually won't marry their daughters to him. It was because the daughter of the Chilton family was crying and making a fuss at home, so her family couldn't do anything about it, and arranged the engagement."
"What's the use of getting engaged? Mr. Allen still visits nightclubs every night and he doesn't take this marriage seriously anyway. Now, he's making trouble again. I don't know what it is this time."
Amidst the crowd's discussion, Mrs. Godfrey was the most embarrassed as Leon was her nephew. With his fiancee making such a scene in public, it was a total disgrace to her.
"Yvette, what are you doing? Aren't you ashamed?"
As soon as Yvette saw Mrs. Godfrey, she immediately cried and complained, "It's Leon who is not ashamed. It's fine if he usually fools around, but today, he is sleeping with another woman in front of me. Is it I who should be ashamed? It's your Allen family!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the audience burst into an uproar.
Mrs. Godfrey was embarrassed and hurriedly said, "Yvette, you can't talk nonsense. You two can quarrel but you can't joke over this kind of thing. What happened? Leon is not that kind of person."
"I saw it with my own eyes. He went in with that woman in his arms!"
"What woman?" Theodore asked.
As soon as he spoke, all the people around were shocked.
As the eldest son of the Godfrey family and the president of the Godfrey Group, Theodore had always been taciturn. Even if a mountain collapsed before him, he could remain calm. However, at this moment, his expression was anxious and he asked Yvette about what was going on inside.
Yvette gnashed her teeth and said, "She has long hair and was wearing a light- colored formal suit."
Everyone was at a loss as they listened.
At the banquet, people were either dressed in formal dresses or they were the staff. There was no one wearing a light-colored formal suit.
Someone said, "Is it the female doctor?"
When Theodore heard these words, he felt as if something had exploded in his mind.
"It's her!" Yvette insisted, "I remember, it's the female doctor!"
Hearing the words "female doctor", Helen's expression changed. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Although she believed that it was impossible, she had to account for Yvette with so many people watching. Thinking of this, Helen pulled a long face and immediately ordered, "Break the door open."
Theodore's gaze landed on the door and he clenched his fists tightly.
At this time, the lights in the room were dim, and only the bedside lamp was on, which gave out a dim yellow light.
Everyone surrounded Helen and they entered the room. They all stopped after walking two steps and took a deep breath.
There were clothes scattered all over the floor. There was no doubt that something had happened.
On the bed, there was a man and a woman under the quilts. The man's shoulders were exposed outside the quilts, and he held the woman under him with one arm. It seemed that he did not hear the voices of the onlookers and slept unconsciously.
Who else could it be but Leon?
Mrs. Godfrey was so angry that she almost fainted on the spot.
She knew that her nephew was disappointing and always brought shame to her, but she didn't expect that he couldn't control himself on such an occasion as to do such a thing.
Theodore's gaze was fixed on the woman's clothes on the floor. He couldn't move, as if he was petrified. The veins on his neck were throbbing.
Off to the side, Josephine looked at his expression and carefully said, "Theodore, it really seems to be Everleigh's clothes."
"Leon! You b*stard!" Before everyone could react, Yvette had already rushed up, and she slapped Leon across the face with great strength.
Slap! Leon was awakened immediately. He stared at the woman in front of him in confusion.
After being slapped across the face a few times, he finally came back to his senses and pushed her away. "Yvette, what are you doing?"
"What am I doing? Look at what you have done!" As she said this, Yvette lifted the quilt next to her and pulled up the woman in the bed right away.
The moment the blanket was lifted, Theodore walked up through the crowd.
