Chapter 32: She Two-Times You
Having received everyone’s attention and be in the limelight all of a sudden, Florence was startled and
only reacted shortly. It was no wonder Ernest wanted her to follow him everywhere tonight. It turned out
he wanted her to be his shield. “Miss Davidson, it’s a pleasure to meet you. I’ll have the drink with
you.” She took up a wine ss gracefully and swirled the liquid inside casually. The ring she wore on
her finger was exceptionally conspicuous.
The crowds subconsciously looked towards Ernest’s finger and they found an exact same style of ring
for men as expected. The heart of countless women who were coveting Ernest all broke, and no one
wanted to approach him to embarrass themselves anymore. Ernest stared at the woman who was
demonstrating her authority in front of him with satisfactions and his mood lightened up greatly. It
looked like having that kind of feeling was still not bad.
Meanwhile, Harold was pulling down a long face. He had finally let Ernest to be his shield with difficulty
yet he did not expect that he would start to act lovey-dovey with Florence. Now that the women all
knew they would not have any chance, they would once again turn towards him. Anthonyughed
when he saw him looking miserable. “Serve you right. You should have been aware that your n
might fail when you dared trick Ernest Hawkins.” Harold gave him a kick and said, “Get lost.”
Evelyn Wace was fixing her eyes on Florence among the crowds and she was in deep shock. She
was boiling with rage shortly. She squeezed herself out of the crowd while pushing people all the way
and stepped out, pointing at Florence and said with a loud voice, “I want to ask thisdy a question, are
you the one doing business on Taobao?” Florence was stupefied when she saw her. What a
coincidence that Evelyn was here too. Having remembered she had pretended to be Cooper’s girlfriend
yesterday to irritate Evelyn and make her leave, how should she exin under this circumstance?
The crowds which were going to scatter all gathered once more due to Evelyn’s words, and they stood
there watching the fun while in confusion. Seeing Florence not uttering a word for a long time, someone
who was curious could not help but question, “Hi, may I know what you meant? Did you know Mr.
Hawkins’ fiancée? Why did you say she’s doing business on Taobao?”

“Because there’s a business on Taobao called ‘renting girlfriend’!” Evelyn looked at Florence with
sarcasm and contempt. Her words had once again stirred up the crowds and there was a flurry of
discussions.
“Renting girlfriend on Taobao? The one costs 800 yuan per day and could bring back for New Year
celebration?”
“Could it be what she meant was thisdy is an impostor? That she’s not Mr. Hawkins’ fiancée?”
“Now I know she’s only fake…”
The discussion sounds both high and low were heard by Ernest and he pulled down a long face. He
stared at the woman and rumbled with a threatening voice, “Do you know what price would you pay if
you dare talking nonsense?”
Evelyn’s muscles inevitably tightened and horror rose inside her. The man’s aura was too strong and
oppressive that her subconscious mind told her to run away. Yet she looked at Florence and
straightened her back. She needed not be afraid as she was right. “Mr. Hawkins, the reason I said that
is also to avoid you getting deceived by her too. Yesterday, I’ve seen her being together with my ex-
boyfriend with my own eyes, and they’ve admitted they’re in a romantic rtionship! If she’s not the
girlfriend to be rented on Taobao, that means she’s two-timing you!”
Florence’s face went a little pale and she wanted to seal Evelyn’s mouth. She could not betray Cooper,
and she certainly could not deny by saying she was not Ernest’s fiancée from the situation. What
should she do now? Having been in such a dilemma, she inevitably tightened her grasp onto Ernest’s
hand. Sensing the nervousness of the woman in his arms, Ernest looked down and saw her uneasy
look. An uncanny look shed across his face. He pursed his lips and rumbled, “What time did you see
them yesterday?”
“It was half past seven in the evening, right at the restaurant from the fifth street of the new district.”
Evelyn spoke assertively.
The crowds all looked at Florence with suspicion. Most of them were looking at her with disgust and
had categorized her as a morally-indecent woman. Florence felt a rush of headache. She did not even
have any real rtionships with both men, not to mention two-timing them. Should she deny at the
scene? As she hesitated, she heard a sneer followed by the man’s low and sarcastic voice beside her.
“She was having dinner with me at home at half past sevenst night.”
His words had turned everything said by Evelyn just now into lies. Evelyn looked at Ernest with surprise
and could not react for a long while. She could not figure out the reason he defended for her when he
knew she had derailed no matter how. Seeing the crowds had all looked at her with contempt, she was
mortified and she spoke with grievance, “Mr. Hawkins, what I said was true, why did you lie?”
Ernest sneered and replied, “Being bold enough to say I lied, you’re the first.” Although there was not
much emotion in his in voice, he had managed to freeze the atmosphere of the hall. The people all
fell into grave silence and nobody dared to let out a single voice. They could discuss about Florence’s
derailment and criticized her, but what about Ernest? He was the only heir of the super wealthy family
in City N, and was also famous in the business world. He had immense power and the way he worked
was determined and merciless. He was the existence that stood at the very top, that could not be
doubted nor rebelled against.
Evelyn realized she had made a mistake in what she said and her face instantly went cadaverous. She
quickly exined, “Mr. Hawkins, I didn’t mean that, I…” As if reluctant to hear the woman’s voice
anymore, Ernest waved his hand in impatience and ordered coldly, “Get her out of here.” The moment
he finished his words, several fierce-looking bodyguards appeared out of nowhere from the main hall
and dragged her out of the hall like they were dragging a piece of garbage.
Evelyn was so frightened that her face went pale. Those who were shoved out by Ernest would be
repelled from the upper ss circle, and she still had not gotten married into a wealthy family yet. “Mr.
Hawkins, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, please forgive me this time.” She pleaded with fear yet the bodyguards
were not moved at all and they soon got her out of the hall. Her yell gradually faded away and the main
hall was shrouded with a gloomy atmosphere.
Everyone had only noticed Ernest’s handsome look at first sight, they only realized now that he was the
Mr. Hawkins that had immense power who could easily ruined a person’s future whenever he was
unhappy. Nobody dared to say anything further and the crowds scattered as if nothing had happened
before. Florence managed to survive the farce without other ident and she heaved a sigh of relief.
Yet when she turned around, she saw Ernest looking at her with a threatening and gloomy look. She
forced out a smile and said, “Mr. Hawkins, do hear me out.” Ernest pursed his lips and did not utter a
word.
“It was actually a misunderstanding. I was having dinner with my friend yesterday and Evelyn came
pestering us. Therefore my friend lied that I was his girlfriend in order to make her gave up.” Florence
looked at him with uneasiness. “I didn’t expect it to be such a coincidence that I’ll see her here.” The
incident had nearly turned into a scandal. “You do like to be a shield for other people.” Ernest
looked straight at her and his lofty figure approached her dangerously. He then questioned her slowly,
“But what about me, as your fiancé?”
