Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

Chapter 55

After Anna retorted Allie, Wayne also said bluntly, “Anna doesn’t care about her identity as the daughter of the Gabriel family. If you deliberately make trouble for her because of her identity, 1. will have to have a talk with Old Mr. Gabriel about what happened here. Guess what he will do when he knows that his elder daughter bullies her younger sister arrogantly in front of so many

people.”

Hearing what Wayne had said, everyone changed their attitude in an instant.

Those who knew the truth about Anna’s identity but dared not speak before began to whisper

“I heard that Allie’s mother is Old Mrs. Gabriel’s second wife. And Old Mrs. Gabriel had a daughter with his first wife before. This girl called Anna may be that daughter.”

“I’ve also heard that. That was to say, Allie is an illegitimate child, right?”

“Maybe. Old Mr. Gabriel’s daughter with his first wife never showed up in public places with him so no one knows about her existence. But it can be seen that the Old Mr. Gabriel protected his younger daughter’s privacy well.”

Allie trembled with anger when the fake image that she had maintained for so many years was destroyed. And her boyfriend Bill, who had been standing beside her all the time, suddenly

turned around and left.

Seeing this, she stamped her feet and shouted, “Bill, where are you going?” Then she immediately followed him.

Soon, Old Mr. and Mrs. Palmer, who heard what happened here, rushed over.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

They were a little stunned when they saw Anna. But since they were sophisticated, they reacted quickly and then kept apologizing to Wayne and Anna.

Old Mrs. Palmer pulled his sleeves, glared at him, and said, “Look at what you have done! Apologize to Mr. Wright now.”

Jacob looked at Wayne with a frown and said reluctantly, “I’m sorry, Mr. Wright.”

Facing the sudden change in the situation, Lilian immediately changed her attitude, held Anna’s hand intimately, and said with a smile, “Anna, I’ve misunderstood you. Don’t be angry. I didn’t mean to offend you. Both you and Mr. Wright are my honored guests. Well, it’s time to open the champagne.”

“Yes. It’s time to open the champagne,” Old Mr. Palmer nodded and said. Then the other guests around all dispersed.

Anna didn’t know what was on their minds. But she was clear that after this farce, the rumor that she was Wayne’s fiancee would be spread.

“Thank you, Mr. Wright. And I’m sorry to bring you trouble. What are you going to do with the rumor?” After the engagement ceremony, Anna asked Wayne in a low voice as they walked side by

side in the hall. She wanted to know what Wayne would do to suppress the rumor.

Wayne didn’t seem to take it seriously and said calmly, “You don’t need to worry about it.”

Anna misunderstood that Wayne meant that he would deal with it and she didn’t need to worry about it. However, Wayne didn’t mean that

Anna then was relieved and changed the topic, “By the way, what are you doing here? Shouldn’t you be at the tree farms with Matthew?”

“Peace will take care of him and send him home. I heard that you are here for your ex-boyfriend’s engagement party, so I came here out of curiosity.”

“Out of curiosity?” Anna was confused. “I’m curious about what you look like when you cry.”

“Cry? How is it possible?” Anna said helplessly. “I’ve let go of the past. Did you think I would drink and make a scene at the party?”

“If you had the nerve to do so, Tammy and Matthew wouldn’t have threatened me to come here,” Wayne said lightly.

Anna was stunned and then pulled a wry face, saying, “So it was Tammy and Matthew who asked you to come?”

“Yes,” Wayne said with a nod. Anna felt more helpless. At the same time, Anna was a little disappointed.

She knew that Matthew liked her very much and Tammy wanted to bring Wayne and her together so she could understand why they asked Wayne to come here.

What disappointed her was that Wayne came here not because he wanted to see her but because he was forced by the two children.

While she was lost in thought, Wayne said in a joking voice, “There’s another reason for my coming. Compared with picking up leaves and watching Matthew doing homework on the farm, I’m more interested in why you come here alone to attend the engagement party of your jerk ex-boyfriend and hypocritical friend.”

“Hey, let it go at that!” Anna became angry from embarrassment and pushed his arm. Alas, thanks to Wayne‘s coming, I didn‘t embarrass myself just now. “I didn’t know that Allie also came. I was caught

unprepared,” Anna said. “Are you afraid of her?” Wayne said.

“Afraid of her? Of course not!” Anna replied to him and glared at him with her eyes wide

open.

After a while, she suddenly came up with something and asked suspiciously. “You’ve known that Allie is my sister before, right? Did you investigate me? Why don’t you trust me?”

Wayne raised his eyebrows and said, “For my son’s safety, it’s necessary for me to investigate everyone who gets on well with him. You and Matthew are close to each other and you often cook for him. Don’t you think I should investigate your background?”

Anna was speechless and didn’t reply to him

Wayne then continued, “As the daughter of the Gabriel family, you applied for a job in the hotel of the Carousel Group with a fake resume. However, I didn’t suspect you or fire you when I found it, which means that I trust you completely. Don’t you think so?”

“I have no evil intentions,” Anna immediately shook her head and said. “I just want to find a job to support my family.”

Hearing that, Wayne looked at her thoughtfully.

After a few seconds, he suddenly raised his hand and help Anna smooth the slightly messy hair on her forehead and tuck them behind her ears. Then he leaned over and whispered, “I believe you.”

Anna blushed at once when he approached her.

Not far away, Jacob saw all the intimate interactions between them. Watching Anna’s bright smile and their intimate interaction, he clenched his fists with a darkened face.

If it weren’t for his cheating, the woman engaged to him today should have been Anna.

At this time, Lilian, who was talking about Jacob with her friends, turned around and happened to see Jacob’s unhappy face. Following his gaze, she saw Anna in the distance. Then the smile on her face gradually turned into a cold look.

No matter how well she treated Jacob these years, she still failed to make Jacob completely forget about Anna. Thinking of this, Lilian felt bitter.

“Lilian, what are you thinking about?”

Suddenly, Lilian wrenched her mind back to the present when she heard her friend’s voice.

Staring at the glass in her hand for a moment, she came up with an idea and sneered. Then she raised her head and said, “Lena, please do me a favor.”

During the party, Wayne received a call from the butler. Since the hall was too noisy, he went to the balcony, leaving Anna alone.

Feeling bored, Anna could only eat and drank to kill time. Suddenly, someone came and greeted her. “Hi, Anna.”

When Anna raised her head, she saw two of her college roommates and two strange young men in front of her.

The one who greeted her warmly was her college roommate.

“Anna, we haven’t seen each other for a long time. You are more beautiful than before,” the other of her roommates said.

“Thank you,” Anna smiled and replied to her politely. She had only lived with them for one year, so she was not familiar with them and could only barely call out their names.

After a few greetings, someone suggested, “Since you haven’t seen each other for such a long time, you should have a drink.”

One of Anna’s roommates then proposed a toast and Anna had to drink a glass of wine.

However, when she had just drunk up the wine in her glass, the other one of her roommates immediately raised her glass and proposed a toast again, “Anna, I’m so happy to see you here. Cheers!”

Then she drank up the wine first and then motioned Anna to drink the wine. Anna couldn’t refuse her and had to drink another glass of wine.
