Billionaire's Stubborn Slave Wife

Chapter 55: Mocked at the Banquet

Three days passed quickly, and these three days were the happiest time for Lauren.

Ignoring Anne's anger-filled face, Lauren followed Matthew's side directly. She went to the office with

him during the day and snuggled up in his arms at night, watching the stars outside.

"Emily Shangkuan? Secretary Zhou, are you sure this Emily Shangkuan is the only daughter of the

CEO of Shangkuan's Group? It's Adam's fiancee?"

Receiving this news, Matthew's heart was shocked. He didn't notice that Lauren, who was sitting

beside him, reading a comic, also had a shock on her face when she heard the name Emily

Shangkuan.

"Boss, this is the news I just got, and this Emily Shangkuan is not only Adam Ouyang's fiancee, but

also the baby of Shangkuan's group. As long as she makes a request, the CEO of Shangkuan's Group,

there will be absolutely no hesitation to do what she asks."

Secretary Zhou told Matthew about the information he had just investigated about Emily Shangkuan.

Matthew nodded, and it was only at this point that he noticed the dull expression on Lauren's face,

which made him suspicious.

"Lauren, Lauren."

Matthew called out twice, but neither got any reaction from Lauren, who was still lost in her own

thoughts.

It wasn't until Matthew walked up to her and gave her a gentle tap on the back that Lauren jumped up,

which made Matthew even more suspicious.

"Lauren, what's wrong with you? Did I scare you?"

Lauren shook her head.

"No, I was just thinking that your wedding is the day after tomorrow. My heart hurts so much when I

think that after the wedding, we won't be able to be happy together like this anymore."

Lauren nestled in Matthew's arms with a painful look on her face. She took his hand and placed it on

her chest.

"Don't worry, even if we can't be together in the future. I will still take care of you until you find a man

who loves you."

Matthew's words made Lauren's heart hurt even more.

Matthew. In this life, I will not fall in love with any man other than you, only you, Matthew, are the man

who will bring me happiness.

Lauren, who thought of this, hugged Matthew tightly and really had a feeling of wanting to stay in his

arms forever.

I don't know why? Lauren now has a bad feeling. She has a feeling that the arrival of Emily Shangkuan,

her former best friend, will definitely make her life a bigger wave. Her peaceful and happy life would

soon come to an end.

"Lauren, why don't you accompany me to the banquet tonight?"

"Banquet? Can I not go?"

Lauren lifted her eyes from Matthew's arms. She really didn't have any interest in attending something

like a banquet.

"It's Wong's group CEO's birthday, he was the only one who gave me help when I first took over Yin's

business, so for him, I've always had respect."

Lauren nodded.

"Okay, I'll attend with you, but are you sure, he'll like me? After all, the rumors about me in the media

outside are not very good, will my presence make you be blamed by others?"

Lauren was a little worried, she was afraid that because of her, the man she loved would be looked

down upon.

Matthew doted on Lauren's cheek and gave her a kiss.

"Honey, no matter what the outside world says, it won't affect my feelings for you. Although we are not

destined to be together in this life, this relationship is the most important memory for the rest of my life."

Hearing Matthew say this, Lauren's face was filled with a happy smile.

At 7:00 p.m., the two of them appeared at the entrance of the party on time. Looking at Lauren, who

had a happy smile on her face and was well-dressed, Matthew really regretted that he brought her to

the party.

"Matthew, are you regretting bringing me to the party?"

Matthew's expression made Lauren a little hurt. She tugged her hands nervously on her little dress.

"I am regretting, regretting bringing you here." Matthew's unconcealed regret made the expression on

Lauren's face hurt even more.

"I am regretting bringing you here, letting those men focus their eyes on you, I regret choosing this little

dress, letting your smooth skin, fully exposed to the men's eyes."

Matthew took off the suit jacket he was wearing directly and draped it over Lauren's body.

"Is that really why you're doing this?"

Lauren's face lifted up into a smile, her soft little hands were wrapped in Matthew's big hands, tightly.

She could clearly feel the warmth coming from his large hand.

"You are destined to be the center of attention at the party today, and I really want to gouge out the This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

eyes of all those men who are looking at you."

Lauren was dressed in a snow-white strapless gown that made her look like an angel, and the diamond

necklace around her neck shone dazzlingly under the light.

The diamond encrusted handbag in the same color makes Lauren even more regal.

Matthew unhappily put his arm around the woman in his arms and walked into the banquet hall.

The appearance of the two made all the eyes of the people in the hall, all set on their bodies. At the

same time there were several women who started their gossipy discussions.

"Isn't that the slut, how come Matthew openly appeared here with a slut?"

"Yes, as far as I know, Matthew has a man with a fiancée? Such a man is really too much, actually let

his fiancee face such an embarrassing situation."

The words of several women clearly reached Lauren's ears. Lauren, who originally had a happy smile

on her face, immediately froze her smile, and her hands, which were holding Matthew, began to emit

bursts of trembling.

When passing by a few women, the corners of Matthew's mouth suddenly hooked up a sneer cold to

the extreme smile, black eyes burst out two eyes full of killing intent.

Such a smile scared several women to shut their mouths immediately.

"If you dare to say one more word insulting Lauren, I guarantee that I will use all of Yin's Group's

abilities to have the company your husbands work for, immediately kick them out of the company."

Matthew's words frightened several women, and they hurriedly shut their mouths, not daring to say

another word for fear that their words would make them lose the pillars of their lives.

"Well, let's go to Uncle Wong's, shall we?"

Matthew gently patted the back of Lauren's hand and said dotingly.

Lauren nodded and followed Matthew to the party host.

When they walked up to the CEO of Wong's Group, Lauren and Matthew saw Adam and a woman

standing beside him at the same time.

Seeing this woman, Lauren's face, all of a sudden, turned pale, and she subconsciously tried to avoid

the woman's eyes looking at her.

"Lauren, is that you?"

Lauren just wanted to take the opportunity to go to the restroom with her make-up, but the woman

beside Adam directly shouted out her name and ran in her direction.

This gave Lauren nowhere to hide, so she let the woman take her in her arms.

"Miss, you know Lauren?"

Lauren's stiff expression made Matthew a little suspicious. Still, upon receiving Lauren's look of help,

he pulled Lauren out of the woman's arms then wrapped her in his.

"Hi, I'm Emily Shangkuan, Lauren is a former classmate of mine from abroad. But she acts like she

doesn't know me. ceo Yin, can I ask what's the deal with Lauren?"

Matthew didn't find it strange that Emily could recognize him, after all, Yin's Group still had a certain

status in the business field.

"Miss. Shangkuan, Lauren suffered a head impact, so it caused a temporary amnesia, she doesn't

remember the previous things, that's why she reacted like this, please Miss. Shangkuan forgive her."

After hearing Matthew's words, Emily suddenly realized.

"No wonder Lauren doesn't seem to know me, CEO Yin, when I have time, can I ask Lauren out for a

chat?"

The innocent expression on Emily's face made it impossible to refuse, and her smile seemed to have a

natural likability.

"Of course it's no problem. I just don't know, what is Miss. Shangkuan's relationship with Adam?"

Adam's tightly locked gaze on Lauren made Matthew very angry, so he intended to use Emily to make

Adam withdraw his gaze.

Hearing Matthew mention Adam, Emily came to Adam's side with a shy face and took his hand to

Matthew and Lauren's side.

"This is my fiancé, we're getting married soon, but I heard that CEO Yin is getting married in two days. I

wonder if I have the honor to go and drink your and Lauren's wedding wine?"

Seeing Matthew cared so much about Lauren, Emily mistakenly thought that the wedding in two days'

time was his and Lauren's wedding.

After hearing Emily's words, everyone's face changed drastically, especially Lauren, who looked even

more ugly. Emily realized that it seemed like she had said something wrong.

"Adam, did I say something wrong? It's what made everyone turn out like this?"

Emily asked Adam, who was beside her, in a soft voice.

"The wedding in two days is Matthew's and another woman's, not with your best friend."

Adam said to Emily with mockery.

"Matthew, you're really too much, since you're not having a wedding with Lauren, but why did you bring

Lauren to such a private party, aren't you clearly exposing Lauren to other people's accusations?"

The expression on Emily's face was a bit bad, after all, Lauren was the only one who truly considered

her as a friend when she was abroad. So seeing her best friend being bullied like this, Emily was really

angry.

Fearing that the scene would get awkward, Lauren hurriedly took Emily's hand.

"Emily, although I don't remember what happened before, but you are my friend, can we go aside and

talk for a while?"

The supplication in Lauren's eyes made Emily a little puzzled, but she still let Lauren pull her to the

corner.
