Female Novel
Chapter 1855
Just as Cyrus was about to speak with an icy gaze in his eyes, Mandy went ahead with a smile. "Really? | shall ask MayorHodgson about this. Does he not see me as a Lovelace, or do you not take me as a Lovelace?"
Orlander, who was mentioned without warning, coughed after choking on his wine.
“Anyway, it doesn't matter whether or not I'm a Lovelace." Mandy cast an unreadable look at Orlander. "After all, I'm here with myson, representing the Taylor family. Mayor Hodgson, Minnie, you'll welcome us, won't you?"
“Ah! It's our mistake." Minnie hurriedly approached them with an apologetic smile to break the tension. "We thought you'd attendthe event with Joseph since you are family. We did not think it through. We'll be more careful next time!"
Mandy replied coldly, "I'm no longer a Lovelace after | married Winston Taylor. If you are sending out invitations, please addressthem to the Taylor family of Belbanks."
“Mandy, that's enough." Joseph took a step toward her. He lowered his voice. "Are you trying to argue with me in front ofeveryone here?"
"You don't deserve my time." Looking away, she snickered. "| wouldn't have wasted time talking to you or even taking a look atyou had you not come up to irk me.
"Joseph Lovelace, do you understand that the person | hate the most in the family isn't Dad, who kicked me out? | hate you themost because you keep badmouthing Winston in front of Dad!"
Lips twitching, Joseph struggled to catch a breath. His face seemed to sting in pain from the memory of being slapped by Mandythe last time.
Under his leadership, the Lovelaces' business had grown and expanded. Despite his efforts and his attempt at perfecting hisimage, Mandy refused to take one more look at him. All she cared about was Winston Taylor, who had never treated her wrong.
After the minor hiccup, the social dancing kicked off in the Hodgson's living room. The dance was an opportunity Orlander andMinnie had created for Freddy and Lauren to mingle.
When the music filled the air, the guests found their dance partners and started waltzing in the middle of the spacious dancefloor.
As Orlander and Javier chatted away, Mandy approached them in steady footsteps. She smiled and asked, "Mayor Hodgson,sorry to interrupt. | need to have a private talk with you. Are you free now?"
Javier tightened his grasp on the wine glass after Mandy completely disregarded him.
Knowing how difficult Mandy could be, Orlander immediately rose from his seat as he couldn't afford to snub her. "Sure. Mrs.Taylor, please come with me to the guest lounge.”
