Chapter 729


    After Hailey left, Bernard shot a frosiy nce at the side staff


    “Get her out.”


    The staff caught on at once and walked up to Hertha, gesturing for her to leave


    “Madam, you’re not wee here. Please leave at once”


    Hertha hadn’t expected the head of the Laurence family to actually kick her out!


    She was seething but she kept her temper in check in front of Cedric


    There was no way she was going to ruin her good image in Cedric’s eyes


    Only by maintaining this good image could she possibly convince Cedric to marry her.


    With this thought in mind. Hertha lowered her head, feigning humility, and said to Cedric, Then 111


    leave first.”


    Cedric didn’t seem to care much and just nodded. “Alright, you go ahead”


    Hertha thought that by saying this, he would hold her hand and leave with her. She couldn’t believe he


    just told her to go ahead.


    Hertha gave Cedric, who was still looking in the direction of the pld woman, an incredulous look. Her


    expression suddenly twisted a bit.


    She was fuming inside but she silently turned around and left.


    Just wait she thought. She would find a way to make that old woman back down voluntarily


    After Hertha left, the wedding banquet was not over yet, the Laurence family and Bernard’s friends


    were still in the dining area, drinking and chatting


    As the bride and groom, they couldn’t leave while the guests were still there. Bernard was clearly a little


    impatient, but he put up with it.


    Seeing many people raising their sses to toast Bernard, Eleanor said something to him and then


    took Liana to find Hailey


    Hailey was sitting on thewn, eating snacks. She seemed okay, but Eleanor, who knew her well,


    understood that she was upset.


    She sat down next to Hailey and said, “Hailey, don’t take what Cedric said to heart. He just doesn’t


    know any better”


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    Liana also sat down andforted Hailey with a pat on her shoulder, saying, “Yeah, he’s just like that.


    Don’t stoop to his level.”


    Seeing that her two good friends were worried about her, Hailey felt warm inside and said, “I’m fine. Im


    just wondering why all the men I meet are like this. Isn’t there a single good one?”


    Liana chuckled and said. “Wait until we get back home. I’ll throw a ball, and there will be plenty of great


    men for you to choose from.”


    Hearing this, Hailey cheered up quite a bit, her eyes even lit up. “Can I be the belle of the ball then?”


    Liana joked with augh, “Do you want to be a princess?”


    Without any shyness, Hailey nodded. “Yes, I want to be a princess.”


    Eleanor was utterly confused and asked the two. What ball?”


    After Liana briefly exined, Eleanor expressed some regret. Too bad, I’ll be on my honeymoon.


    Otherwise, I would love to go”


    Hearing this, Liana waved her hands in fright and said, “Even if you weren’t on your honeymoon, I


    wouldn’t dare invite you. Don’t say things like that in front of me, it scares me.”


    Eleanor was about to say that Liana was exaggerating when Pearce Hooper and George rushed up to


    her.


    “We’re very sorry, we were robbed on the way here, so we’rete”


    A still panting George pointed at Pearce andined, it’s all his fault. He insisted on taking the


    ferry, and we ended up getting hijacked by a bunch of people. I don’t even know who they are.”
