From Ashes of Scandals to His Embrace novel Chapter 351

Laurinda arched her brow, surprised to find herself in the middle of some unexpected drama. Honestly, it was kind of entertaining.

Adolphus noticed the look on her face and could tell exactly what she was thinking. He let out a soft laugh. “You’re not going to see much of a show. Sam knows when to stop. He won’t upset Cathleen.”

When Laurinda’s interest started to fade, Adolphus smiled at her with obvious affection and gently took her hand. “It’s freezing out here. Let’s head inside.”

“Laurinda! You’re finally here!” Irvin’s face lit up the moment he spotted her. “You have no idea how long I’ve been waiting. I’ve got something for you.”

He made his way toward Laurinda, but before he could reach her, Adolphus casually stepped in, holding out an arm to block his path.

Irvin frowned, confused. “Adolphus, what are you doing?”

“Whatever you want to say can wait until after dinner.”

Without paying any attention to Irvin’s frustration, Adolphus slipped his arm around Laurinda and guided her into the main hall. As they passed by Earl, he offered a simple congratulations.

Outside, Carla and Quentin finished parking. They walked over together, chatting about how the parking lot looked like a luxury car show. It was obvious that everyone invited tonight was someone important.

Earl hadn’t expected Quentin to show up. Taking Cathleen with him, he walked over to say hello.

“Quentin. Carla.”

Cathleen greeted them softly, “Quentin, Carla.”

“You’re here too? Let’s all go in together.”

Carla grinned, responding to Earl, then naturally slid over to Cathleen’s side. The two of them linked hands and walked upstairs together, laughing and chatting like old friends.
