Female Novel
Chapter 1752
Lauren couldn't bring herself to look at Freddy or respond to him. She just hunched her shoulders, wishing she could disappearlike a wisp of smoke.
Landon's eyes grew even colder as he stared at Freddy's smiling face.
However, Freddy completely disregarded Landon's hostility. Instead, he extended his hand to Lauren. "Lauren, it's Freddy. Wewere in the same class in middle school. Do you remember me?"
Landon's gaze darkened, and he slapped away Freddy's hand. "I think my wife doesn't remember you."The atmosphere became extremely tense.
Yet, Zoe secretly chuckled to herself. It would seem that provoking Landon and teasing Lauren was the source of all herhappiness in life.
Freddy gripped his throbbing fingertips, and anger flashed in his eyes. Nonetheless, he quickly composed himself and fixed hisgaze on Lauren. "Lauren, you got married to Mr. Landon? How come | didn't see any news about it?"
Just as Landon was about to answer, Zoe cut in, "Freddy, you've only recently returned, so there's a lot you don't know about.Landon and Lauren have been living together for a long time. Even if they're not officially married, they're already like a marriedcouple."
She deliberately raised her voice in the second half of her statement.The surrounding guests passing by heard her.
“What? The prestigious Beckett family's daughter is living with a man? Even if she lost her mother, isn't Mr. Javier still alive? Howcould he allow his daughter to live with a man without being married?"
"Oh, but this isn't any man. It's Mr. Landon, the future heir of Harper Group."
"So what if it's Mr. Landon? Isn't he a man? Besides, he is infamous for being a playboy in Solana City. If they've been livingtogether for a long time without getting married, doesn't that imply that he's not interested in marrying her?
"Mr. Landon is a man with power and status. Even if he gets divorced many times, women would still be clamoring to be withhim. But Ms. Lauren can't do that.
"When she gets older, she'll lose her worth, with her reputation ruined. So what if she's the daughter of the Beckett family? She'llprobably end up marrying a man beneath her status."novelbin
"That young lady is really naive and foolish."
Rumors and gossip spread chaotically. It sounded like one thunderous explosion after another in Lauren's ears. Due to immenseanxiety, her forehead was covered in a thin layer of sweat.
Landon also heard the gossip. His fierce gaze swept over, scattering the gossipers.Freddy suddenly understood. "Oh... | see."“What do you see?"
Landon's eyes turned cold as he glared fiercely at Zoe's smug face. "Zoe, the entire Harper family knows that I'm going to getengaged to Lauren. The engagement ceremony is currently being organized, and I've sent out the invitations.
"Are you so forgetful, or has your brain turned into mush? Lauren is my fiancée, the future lady of Harper Group. How manytimes do | have to repeat it?”
The onlookers were shocked and murmured among themselves.Zoe was both ashamed and furious. Her face turned red before losing its color.
