Chapter 17 Laurel’s Embrace
The private room door opened.
Inside, there were men and women. The lights flickered, and they were dancing, making it difficult to
distinguish one from another.
Fortunately, there were no unbearable images that Laurel had imagined.
The server respectfully said, “Ms. Lambert, Mr. Gilbert is inside.”
“Thank you.” Laurel nodded slightly.
She lightly pursed her lips and walked in.
Laurel entered.
She didn’t need to search for long before she saw a man sitting on the couch. Holding a glass of wine
in his hand, the man crossed his legs. It was Hayden.
There was a faint smile on his face, full of interest.
It was obvious that Hayden had noticed Laurel.
But he didn’t greet Laurel.
Laurel couldn’t stand the sound system, the screams, or the cheers in the room.
No matter how much she tried to adapt to this environment, it

was difficult for her.

Laurel stood in front of Hayden. “Can you clear the room?”
Hayden’s handsome lips curled up, and his eyebrows slightly furrowed.
It seemed like he hadn’t heard what Laurel said.
Laurel raised her voice a bit. “Can you clear the room?”
From Hayden’s facial expression, it was evident that he still hadn’t heard Laurel.
Laurel gritted her teeth.
She bent down and leaned close to Hayden’s ear, whispering, “Could you… ah!”
Laurel suddenly lost her balance.
Someone behind Laurel unexpectedly bumped into her, causing her to fall directly into Hayden’s arms.
Laurel’s whole body pressed against Hayden’s.
It was as if Laurel was throwing herself into Hayden’s arms.
Laurel, who was usually calm, was a bit flustered because of
this situation.
What was even more flustering, the woman who accidentally bumped into Laurel while dancing could
not help but scream, perhaps because she was startled.
The scream caught everyone’s attention in the private room.

And they saw Laurel in Hayden’s arms. Compared with Hayden’s tall body, she looked delicate and
attractive…
But this scene…
This unusual scene stunned everyone.

It was rumored that Hayden didn’t refuse any woman who approached him.
But no one had really witnessed this scene.
Even in the presence of Hayden, women would voluntarily keep their distance.
Yet now…
In front of everyone…
Hayden was holding Laurel in his arms.
And Hayden was smiling.
His smile even carried a hint of… doting.
However, no one dared to utter a word in front of this scene.
They didn’t even dare to take a few more glances.
In fact, Hayden hadn’t committed any heinous crimes, but everyone who had seen him was in awe of
him.
“Erik, turn off the stereo,” Hayden spoke up,
Hayden’s voice was not loud but not small either.
Erik, who was sitting next to Hayden, nodded.

Chapter 17 Laurel’s Embrace
Although Erik couldn’t hear very clearly, he and Hayden had their tacit understanding from growing up
together.
Erik got up and turned off the stereo.
Laurel had left Hayden’s arms.
When she stood up, her face was visibly flushed.
Laurel paid great attention to her demeanor and had never been so impolite, let alone thrown herself
into a man’s arms so willingly.
Even during her ten-year marriage with Bruno, Laurel had been maintaining her composure.
In those years, Bruno treated her the same way. They respected each other.
Laurel thought that was the best marriage.
Now she realized that it was only because Bruno had no feelings for her.
The sound system was turned off.
The room suddenly became quiet.
In the silence, Laurel felt even more uncomfortable.
She looked up at Hayden, who was still sitting on the couch.
While Laurel was looking at Hayden, he said, “Everyone, please leave.”
Then, all the men and women in the room obediently left.

Besides them, Erik, who was standing aside and enjoying the spectacle, remained.
Laurel adjusted her emotions in secret.
At that moment, she couldn’t help but feel a bit annoyed.
Hayden heard what she said, but he pretended not to and embarrassed her.
Otherwise…
Laurel hadn’t said anything in Hayden’s ear just now. How did he know to clear the room?
Laurel kept telling herself something.
That was not to lower herself to Hayden’s level.
After all, Laurel needed Hayden’s help.
She said, “Doesn’t he need to leave?”
Laurel’s gaze shifted to Erik, the son of the Reed family.
Although the Reed family was not among the Four Great Families, it had developed a lot over the
years. It was said that the Reed family had well social connections and that Erik’s father and the
prestigious families in North City were connected. Most people didn’t dare to provoke the Reed family.
Instead, they respected the latter.
Actually, all those rumors about the Reed family were not groundless.

And having lived for ten more years, Laurel was well aware that the Reed family indeed had some
influence.
So, at the sight of Erik, Laurel couldn’t help but size him up.
Laurel couldn’t understand why Erik, the eldest son of the Reed family, would follow behind Hayden.
Who exactly was Hayden?
Hayden made the son of the Reed family listen to him.
But in short…
They were friends who did bad things together.
While doing something bad, they were always in pairs!
“He doesn’t need to,” Hayden replied affirmatively.
Hayden made it clear.
Hayden and Erik had an extraordinary relationship, and Hayden took Erik as his man.
Laurel would not be bothered by these small matters, since Hayden said Erik was worth trusting.
Laurel didn’t need to be cautious.
Laurel said, “I’ve thought it through. I cannot break off the engagement with Bruno by myself. I need
your help.”
Hayden casually drank the wine in his hand and fixed his eyes on Laurel without giving any response.
Laurel continued, “The best way to break off the engagement

with Bruno is to expose his scandalous affairs. Bruno has many scandals, but the most devastating
blow to this pseudo- gentleman is to expose his infidelity, especially at his wedding full of love!”
Hayden listened to Laurel and slowly drank the wine in his
cup.
Hayden cleared his throat.
His inexplicable sexiness was hard to be ignored.
Laurel shifted her gaze and said, “And I need your help to expose the video of his affair.”
Hayden put down his glass.
He stood up and walked up to Laurel.
Laurel was wearing high heels today, but in front of Hayden, she looked noticeably shorter.
Laurel stood up straight and stared back at Hayden.
She didn’t allow herself to be weaker.
“Ms. Lambert, you went to discuss marriage with the Scott family today. Why do you want to put them
in a life-or-death situation? Ms. Lambert, you always do something so unexpected. How should I trust
you?”
Therefore…
Hayden didn’t trust Laurel!
