Twin Mistresses？I'm Pregnant with Quads and Marrying Your Enemy - Chapter 27: Chapter 27

Just as everyone was looking at me, I spoke coldly: "Helena, your acting skills are as masterful as ever. It's such a pity you didn't enter the entertainment industry—otherwise, the Oscars would definitely have a place for you."
Though I mocked her this way, Helena put on a bewildered expression: "Ophelia... why are you saying this about me?"
I scoffed: "Why am I saying this? Don't you know in your heart? Helena, you like others to cater to you—I have no opinion about that, but don't act in front of me! I find it quite an eyesore."
"I..."
Helena was struck back by my sharp words, her eyes flickering slightly. She indeed knew about what happened back then and dared bring it up because she was banking on me being in the wrong. She hadn't expected me to be so defiant.
Helena immediately put on a guilty appearance, lowering her head: "I'm sorry..."
This scene once again provoked public anger.
"Ophelia, have you no shame? Just get out!"
"Yes, leave! Is this the kind of place you should be coming to?"
"Master Magnus was never someone you could aspire to back then, and still isn't now..."
My expression turned cold, anger surging in my heart as I prepared to strike back.
However, just then, Magnus spoke with extreme impatience: "How noisy."
His unexpected voice stood out particularly cold and cutting in the chaotic banquet hall.
Everyone was stunned, stopping their discussions and looking at Magnus in surprise.
Helena was also astonished, clearly not expecting Magnus to speak up. Was he really going to defend me, this woman?
I also glanced at Magnus, my expression calm.
But I didn't think Magnus was speaking up for me...
Sure enough, the next second, Magnus said with a cold face and an unreadable tone: "Is the Grant family banquet actually a country market? Even bringing up old stories to gossip about—are you not taking the Evermere family seriously?"
Though he said this, Magnus's gaze fell unhesitatingly on Harrison.
Harrison, as the banquet host, touched his nose and remained silent.
The surrounding guests immediately fell quiet, no one daring to say another word.
Their discussions had clearly implicated the Evermere family. The Evermere family's status wasn't something these people could casually challenge! Daring to gossip about them in front of Magnus was simply asking for death!
The guests surrounding us all shut their mouths due to Magnus's intimidation.
The only exception was Helena, who grew suspicious, a trace of unease flashing in her eyes.
Had Magnus really only intervened because the Evermere family was being gossiped about? Why did she have an uncomfortable feeling in her heart?
Standing at the center of public opinion, I remained completely calm throughout. In fact, from the beginning, I had never expected Magnus to speak up for me. This man's favoritism would never fall on me. I had understood this point many years ago.
However, I had long stopped caring about his opinions...
So I only glanced at Magnus indifferently, withdrew my gaze, then slightly curved my red lips into a wanton smile: "You all want to drive me away so badly—unfortunately, you'll be disappointed, because tonight I was invited by Mr. Grant!"
As I said this, I looked at Harrison beside me and said coolly: "Hello, Mr. Grant. I'm here representing ZELING Perfume Company to discuss cooperation with you. I saw you were surrounded by people earlier and didn't want to interrupt."
That simple sentence directly clarified that I hadn't come looking for Magnus.
What surprised others even more was that I could actually represent ZELING Perfume Company!
