Nicole froze for a few seconds.
"Why haven’t you told us before?"
Yvette cocked her head and glanced in Ian's direction.
"I was afraid that he'd find trouble if he knew. Adeline Zabel works well. Even Lance said that she has a high IQ as long a s she doesn't get emotional."
Lumi did not know what the ladies were whispering about. They looked like they had a tacit understanding, so she felt left out.
It was very awkward.
"What are you guys talking about? Is Carter’s girlfriend looking for trouble?" From her perspective, Lumi could only see the girl crying aggrievedly.
Lumi was just watching the show.
She knew about and looked down on such ordinary girls' tricks.
Only incapable women would use tears to sway men.
Thus, from the time that girl showed up, the ladies had an indifferent attitude toward her.
Everyone was used to seeing such women trying to enter their social circle.
Although they did not outrightly reject her, it was impossible to integrate into the high-society ladies' circle by relying on a man.
Besides Ian, some other gentries also came with their girlfriends.
Thus, everyone was used to it.
Not long after, Ian came over in a huff. Lumi immediately shut up.
Lumi could not resist gossiping.
"Carter, is your girlfriend angry? Why don't you go and coax her?"
When Ian heard this, he was in a very bad mood. "Girlfriend? Who told you that she's my girlfriend?"
That delicate girl chased after Ian and heard his words.
In front of so many people, that girl could not bear to stay any longer. Her eyes were red, and she covered her mouth as she immediately ran out, looking very hurt.
Ian Carter's heartless look made many of them sigh.
How sincere could that girl's affection be anyway?
Ian sat on the side and suddenly took a big gulp of wine. He took out a cigarette and was just about to light it when he suddenly thought of something. He glanced at Nicole, then stuffed the cigarette back into his pocket.
