Chapter 69 Laurence Invited Her to Dinner
Master Henry at the host seat frowned at her behavior, spoke coldly, 'Gloria, sit down."
Jon knew Master Henry hated very much anyone that would cause unpleasant feelings at table. He dragged Gloria in a hurry to sit down.
Monica sat next to Anne while Sean and Winston said hello to her with Anne between them.
Seeing her brothers were so nice to her, Anne lowered her voice to Monica on purpose, 'You were really too late. Didn't we finish school very early?"
Her voice was loud enough to make everyone aware that she was still blaming Monica.
Monica raised her eyebrows. She had been used to the traps Anne set for her occasionally.
She curled up her lips with an evil-spirited smile, 'I met Laurence at school and he invited me to dine together."
She did offer to pay for the food, but Laurence refused as if he was waiting for her apology for not letting him eat. However, she didn't feel embarrassed and taking his invitation for granted and left.
Thinking of his expression, she felt it was quite interesting.
She smiled playfully, but didn't notice that they were all shocked with what she said.
'What? Laurence ... invited you?" Gloria was shocked.
They knew Master Henry said Monica was engaged to the Halls, but they never thought Laurence could have an eye on her, a country girl!
Ashley sitting opposite to her said with jealousy, 'Monica, nobody would blame you for being late, but you don't need to make up a story that nobody would believe."
Ashley seemed gentle but obviously she was mocking at her for bragging.
Monica smiled while drinking juice, 'If you don't believe, you can ask Laurence."
Everyone was paled at her words. No one dared to ask Laurence to justify.
It was said that the grand son in the Halls made great changes in all the enterprises affiliated to Hall Investment Co. Ltd as soon as he came back in order that he was the only one who gave the order to them. His supreme position was beyond comparison.
Master Henry was the old friend with Master Hall, but nobody from the Moores knew well Laurence. Of course, they were not in any position to ask about his private life.
However, Master Henry was happy to hear it. He knew Monica didn't like to brag, so he talked nicely with smiles on his face, 'It looks like Laurence likes you. you should be on good terms, alright?"
Master Moore had no idea that she was about to cancel the engagement, and Monica didn't mention it too.
She was watching their complicated expression and at the same time her parents and brothers were holding their heads high, and she curled up her lips playfully without a word.
'Okay, let's eat. Monica can still eat some, even though you had some before." Master Henry was very happy.
'Yes, sir." Monica nodded.
Anne's eyes were clouded with hatred when she saw Monica was in the limelight again.
Thinking that Laurence invited Monica to dinner, envy could almost kill her.
Since last time she knew Laurence opened that coffees hop, she went there very often for some blind crossover, but no even once!
But she didn't go there just today, and he invited Monica to dinner!
The thought of engagement may not be canceled, she felt extremely sad about it.
It should have been her engagement with Laurence, it should have belonged to her! She would never let it taken by Monica!
When they were dining happily, auntie Lucy talked to Monica occasionally as she was sitting just opposite to her. She had fairly good impression on Lucy.
But it made Gloria dissatisfied to see Jeremy and his wife Lucy together with Jeffery and Nancy were so friendly to Monica.
Before when they got together, her two daughters and son were the center of conversation, but now it was all taken by Monica.
When they were about to finish, Gloria suddenly turned to Monica deliberately, 'I heard Monica studied very hard and even moved to live at school? I wonder how it goes recently at school?"
Talking about her performance at school, Master Henry was also curious so that he didn't interrupt.
Annette thought her chance came and curled up her lips while looking at Monica, 'Anne is in Class 1 of Grade 11, she should know most about how Monica performed recently, shouldn't she?"
Anne didn't expect that Annette would throw the hot potato to her and couldn't react for a while.
Being stared by her parents and brothers, Anne bit her lip and knew well she couldn't talk bad about Monica with their presence. She glanced at Monica sneakily and then a trace of embarrassment came to her face in time, 'Monica, ... I don't know how to say it..."
At her cowardliness, Annette sneered, 'You dared not to say it, then let me say. Monica became really famous after a few days at school. Every day on the campus forum, there were a lot of discussion about how she flirted with several boys and how she beat some boy into hospital!"
Her voice was firm and steady, as if she had been waiting for the time to accuse her!
Master Henry heard all these and his eyes became sullen and cold, 'Monica, is she telling the truth?"
Monica was calm and locked eyes with Master Henry fearlessly. 'Grandpa, those came out of nowhere. There are some people who had nothing to do but conceiving rumors."
Annette noticed Monica was looking at her, as if her eyes could see through her completely. But she wouldn't admit she was intimidated by her look and continued to speak loud, 'Are you still cheating? They said on the forum that you bullied your cousin for competing for the title of school beauty. Moreover, you bullied others with the help of Austin and even beat Stephanie's boyfriend to the hospital! And you beat up those inspectors of the dormitories too! Grandpa, she is now notorious at school, which was such a shame on our family!" Annette got carried away and couldn't help listing all the wrongdoings of Monica!
Anne got tremendously happy at it! Let you Monica be arrogant! See, all your behavior were disclosed in front of family members! Let's see how she could continue to stay in this family!
