Deep Love Hidden From Him novel Chapter 186

Cecil's sudden appearance attracted the attention of many guests. Especially the men, it was almost hard for them to look away after seeing her.

In the eyes of the public, it was obvious that Mrs. Godfrey didn't want to further the situation, but she wasn't able to save her face either.

"Cecil, that's not what Mrs. Godfrey meant. It's just that she hasn't seen you before, so your sudden appearance here caught her off guard. For the sake of the Hayes family, it's impossible that she does not welcome you," Josephine's voice broke the stalemate. She apologized to Cecil with a smile, showing her usual gentle and elegant appearance.

Cecil's expression was indifferent. She glanced at Josephine and said, "Who do you think you are? Is it your turn to speak?"

Josephine's smile froze at the corners of her mouth.

"Miss Hayes, you can eat freely, but you can't talk nonsense." Mrs. Godfrey tried to suppress her displeasure and said, "Even if you have the support of the Hayes family, you can't be so arrogant at my family's banquet. You can't just casually humiliate my family." "Humiliate?" Cecil sneered and said slowly, "I've never humiliated anyone. To seduce your best friend's boyfriend, that's not something a dignified person would do."

Josephine's face turned pale immediately.

The relationship between Theodore and her was known to the public, but the truth was that it was a scheme that spanned many years. She didn't dare to defend herself because she knew Cecil's personality.

If you really talked about the details with her, you would be the one to suffer in the end.

Seeing that Josephine was so timid and did not explain anything, Mrs. Godfrey's face turned red with anger. She was the one who had chosen her daughter-in-law. To have so many people look at her and talk about it, it was a disgrace to her pride.

"Mrs. Godfrey, since you are still busy, you don't need to take care of me. I will do as I please." Cecil glanced at Mrs. Godfrey. Her tone was not like that of a guest attending a banquet, but like that of a hostess.

Mrs. Godfrey was so angry that she was at a loss for words. She remembered that if Josephine hadn't insisted on greeting Everleigh, she wouldn't have gotten into

trouble. Thus, she glared at Josephine and said, "Why are you still standing here? Won't you leave? Go and see if your grandmother is ready."

As soon as the two left, Everleigh was relieved. She pulled Cecil's arm and said, "Cecil, you scared me to death."

Cecil took a cocktail from the dessert table next to her, took a sip, and said calmly, "What are you worried about? I'm here to support you today."

"What are you talking about? I'm just here to work, not be a guest. Don't make trouble."

"You look like a coward. Is there a need to do that? Josephine and Mrs. Godfrey are clearly villains who are strong on the outside but weak on the inside. They're not worth mentioning at all. Look at Mrs. Godfrey's face when she heard about the 'Hayes family'; her expression changed even faster than the weather."

"You're still talking about it? I'm just worried about you." Everleigh rolled her eyes at her. "Is it a good idea to just randomly tell people your identity? What if something happens to you?"

Cecil waved her hand as if she didn't care. "I'm not worried, so why are you? Josephine only knows about the Hayes family, but she doesn't know what the relationship between me and the Hayes family is like."

That being said, Everleigh still felt a little uneasy.

Seeing her worried face, Cecil put her arm around Everleigh's shoulders and said, "Don't worry. Nobody in the country can find out my secret. Do you really think that the National Security Department is good for nothing?"

"Lower your voice!" Everleigh wanted to cover Cecil's mouth. She looked around and breathed a sigh of relief after ensuring that no one heard her. She secretly thought that if anyone heard the words 'National Security Department', something terrible would happen.

Everleigh came to the birthday banquet as a staff member, so she didn't go to the middle of the banquet hall and didn't say hello to anyone. Originally, she wanted to quietly wait for something to eat, but her plans didn't go as planned.

Cecil leaned against the dessert table in her dark green dress, and every two minutes, someone would strike up a conversation with her. She would not refuse anyone, and no matter how old or wealthy the other party was, she would happily chat with them.

As for the contents of the conversation, most of them revolved around Mrs. Godfrey and Josephine. There were all kinds of negative things. She would reveal all of them no matter if it was the truth or not. After all, spreading rumors wouldn't cost money.
