After Hailey left, Bernard shot a frosty glance at the side staff.
"Get her out."
The staff caught on at once and walked up to Hertha, gesturing for her to leave.
"Madam, you're not welcome here. Please leave at once."
Hertha hadn't expected the head of the Laurence family to actually kick her out!
She was seething, but she kept her temper in check in front of Cedric.
There was no way she was going to ruin her good image in Cedric's eyes.
Only by maintaining this good image could she possibly convince Cedric to marry her.
With this thought in mind, Hertha lowered her head, feigning humility, and said to Cedric, "Then I'll leave first."
Cedric didn't seem to care much and just nodded. "Alright, you go ahead."
Hertha thought that by saying this, he would hold her hand and leave with her. She couldn't believe he just told her to go ahead.
Hertha gave Cedric, who was still looking in the direction of the old woman, an incredulous look. Her expression suddenly twisted a bit.
She was fuming inside, but she silently turned around and left.
Just wait, she thought. She would find a way to make that old woman back down voluntarily.
After Hertha left, the wedding banquet was not over yet; the Laurence family and Bernard's friends were still in the dining area, drinking and chatting.
