After they left, the guests around started gossiping about Eleanor, wondering how she had something to do with people like that.
Eleanor didn't mind, but instead turned to Hailey and Austin, who were walking towards her.
"Eleanor, who are those people?"
Hailey looked at Eleanor with concern, her intuition told her that those people were bad news.
Eleanor patted her hand with a smile, "That's the president of the Caporal Group, he came looking for me to get an important contract document."
She said this deliberately louder.
Hailey had a small microphone on her wedding dress, and since she was standing close by, the sound naturally carried through the microphone.
When the guests heard her explanation, they started gossiping again, saying Hailey's friend was amazing to even know the president of the Caporal Group.
Austin was from the suburbs of A City, so people didn't know celebrities very well, but they did know the name of A City's richest man.
Eleanor made this explanation to dispel people's misunderstandings.
Otherwise, Austin’s relatives would definitely think that Hailey's friends were not very decent people.
After all, "birds of a feather flock together" and that could affect someone's reputation.
She had to explain clearly, so Hailey wouldn't be gossiped about.
Although the guests' doubts were dispelled, Hailey was still uneasy, feeling that things were not that simple.
If it was really just for a contract document as Eleanor said, why would the president of the Caporal Group bring so many people?
It seemed like they were here for a fight, and he was groping Eleanor's waist?
His actions were strange, not like pursuing Eleanor, but more like forcing and threatening her.
The more Hailey thought about it, the more worried she became, taking off the microphone from her wedding dress and looking at Eleanor with concern.
"If you're in danger, be sure to tell me. I'll fight for justice for you even if it kills me!"
