Deep Love Hidden From Him novel Chapter 189

At this moment, Josephine's face was filled with embarrassment and she almost toppled over.

She had always been afraid of Helen. After being with Theodore, she had to meet Helen once every year. Every time, Helen treated her very coldly, and her eyes seemed to be able to see through a person's heart at a glance, which made Josephine panic.

Although Helen did not manage all the assets of the Godfrey Group directly, she held the real power of the Godfrey family. For so many years, she had been uncompromising. She could even drive her own son out of the family, so forget deciding on the marriage of the family's eldest grandson.

Seeing that the atmosphere was awkward, the butler stepped forward to smooth things over, "Miss Bailey, you're too kind. I'll accept it on behalf of Madam Scott."

The corners of Josephine's mouth twitched awkwardly as she moved to stand next to Mrs. Godfrey.

Mrs. Godfrey glanced at her, and her face was full of displeasure. She lowered her voice and said, "You had to choose this as her gift? What year is it now? You're still being superstitious?"

Josephine lowered her head and didn't dare to retort.

It was clear that Mrs. Godfrey was the one who said the last few words. If she hadn't insisted on talking about the pendant, it wouldn't have been so ugly.

When Mrs. Godfrey had nowhere to vent her anger, a figure behind her passed through layers of guests and hurried to her side to whisper a few words.

"What is it?"

The exclamation was not loud, but it was enough to be heard by everyone around. They all focused their eyes on Mrs. Godfrey's face.

At this time, Helen also raised her head. She glanced at Mrs. Godfrey and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"

"It-it's nothing." Mrs. Godfrey's face was stiff.

It was obvious that it wasn't nothing, and something big was going on.

"What in the world happened?" Helen frowned and glanced at the messenger. "Tell me, what happened?"

It was Mrs. Godfrey's assistant who came to deliver the message. Mrs. Godfrey hesitated for a long time before she braced herself and said, "It's Mr. Allen..."

"Leon?" Helen looked around and said, "Yes, I haven't seen Leon yet. Where is he?"

The assistant carefully looked at Mrs. Godfrey, who was next to her, and stuttered, "Mr. Allen... seems to have drank too much."

"Drank too much? The banquet has just begun." Helen frowned and felt that something was wrong. "Where is Leon now? Take me to have a look."

All of a sudden, Theodore saw Helen being escorted by the crowd to the first floor. He suddenly felt that something wasn't right. He looked into the distance but didn't see Everleigh.

"Where is Everleigh?" He asked Moses who was next to him.

Moses was also stunned. He had been busy all this time, so he didn't pay attention to where Everleigh was and Theodore didn't tell him to do so.

Theodore seemed to have thought of something as he followed the crowd with wide strides.

At the door of the lounge on the second floor, as soon as everyone arrived, they saw a young woman in a light pink dress, banging on the door and shouting, "Leon, you b*stard, come out!"

The crowd burst into heated discussion.

"That's Leon's fiancee, the daughter of the Chilton Group."

"Of course, given Leon's reputation, people usually won't marry their daughters to him. It was because the daughter of the Chilton family was crying and making a fuss at home, so her family couldn't do anything about it, and arranged the engagement."

"What's the use of getting engaged? Mr. Allen still visits nightclubs every night and he doesn't take this marriage seriously anyway. Now, he's making trouble again. I don't know what it is this time."

Amidst the crowd's discussion, Mrs. Godfrey was the most embarrassed as Leon was her nephew. With his fiancee making such a scene in public, it was a total disgrace to her.

"Yvette, what are you doing? Aren't you ashamed?"
