Chapter 470: Exposed
At this time, Stanford was usually at his study busying himself with his own stuff. Florence walked
straight to his study room, but on her way, she identally met the people that were gathered in the
hall.
Among them were her parents, Stanford, and a few elderly aunts and uncles.
At most Florence had only seen them once or twice, she wasn’t familiar with them, but she knew their
identity, they were her rtives and had certain position and status in the Fraser family.
They usually wouldn’te to the Fraser house together, unless something big had happened.
Florence frowned in confusion, the issue with Ernest was still urgent and had not been resolved yet, did
something bad happen again?
This year really hadn’t been smooth.
Florence was both depressed and worried, she walked towards the hall, and stood next to Victoria
obediently.
Just when she wanted to ask secretly what happened, she was surprised to see that everyone present
had shut their mouths when they saw her arriving.
At that moment, there was no one speaking at all, and the atmosphere was so silent that it was slightly
creepy.
Florence was stunned for a second, even if she was slow in her reactions, she would have known that
what they were talking about was rted to her.
Thinking back about the rumours that had been spreading these few days, Florence’s heart suddenly
started beating anxiously.
She tried her best to remain calm, she held Victoria’s hand and asked smilingly,
“Mum, why are uncles and aunts here? Are you organizing a banquet today?”
Victoria’s expression flickered, looking at Florence with a difficult expression, not knowing how to
exin to her at that moment.
At this moment, an old uncle with a head full of white hair took a step forward, in his dim and yellow
eyes sparkled a smart and sharp light.
He looked at Florence, his voice wispy, “Flory, all us uncles are worried about you, we came for you
today.”
For her?
Florence’s heart pounded, the restless feeling was so strong that it was almost at its peak.
They were indeed here for Ernest’s matter.
Things were already so serious that they had rmed these uncles and aunts?
Florence’s face paled, she tried her best to maintain her smile, her attitude was slightly forced, as if not
epting their good intentions.
“Uncle you’re worrying too much, I’m perfectly alright, there’s nothing to worry about. You don’t have to
worry, you guys should enjoy your life right now, don’t have to worry about me.”
Within her courteous words, carried an obvious rejection.
Florence didn’t want these uncles and aunts to meddle in her affairs, if Ernest’s matter really got thrown
on the table, she wouldn’t know how to be kind to them anymore.
The old man didn’t expect Florence to be so against it, rejecting their kindness so abruptly.
At the end of the day, they were geniuses, seeing Florence with this kind of attitude, they hesitated on
whether to continue speaking and interfering in her matters.
After all, good intentions that were forcefully imposed on people, would not be regarded as good
intentions anymore.
Victoria’s brows moved slightly, and she looked at Florence in slight surprise. Under her impression,
besides being slightly stubborn, Florence’s temper and attitude were usually gentle and easy-going,
and she had always been respectful towards the elderly.
But what she said today was considered very impolite.
Thinking of it carefully, the rumours in recent days had caused quite a stir-up, and Florence had also
hurriedly appeared here, could it be that she had already caught wind of the rumours?
Now that Florence was trying to conceal this matter so hurriedly, was it because of anger, or was she
trying to cover it up?
Victoria’s sharp gaze was on Florence. Looking at her trying her best to be calm, she knew Florence
must have already known about it. But at that moment she couldn’t differentiate whether she was under
which attitude and situation.
But whatever the case, since Florence had already stood out and stopped this meeting, there’s no
need anymore for this conversation to proceed.
Victoria raised her hand, and said firmly, “Alright, let’s end here today…”
“Flory, I heard someone said, rence is Ernest under disguise, do you know about this? Are these
just rumours, they’re not true right?”
Benjamin’s agitated voice suddenly rang from outside the door.
Following that, Benjamin anxiously walked over from outside, his handsome face carried a worried and
unbelieving expression, as if he had been hit hard by this news.
Finishing his words, it was as if he had just seen the people gathered in the hall, he was slightly
surprised and immediately shut his mouth.
Apologetically, he said, “I didn’t know everyone was here…”
His pretentious act looked innocent, but had in fact thrown out the million dor question.
Florence’s face was as pale as a sheet of paper.
Damn it Benjamin, he had definitely done it on purpose!
Angrily, Florence immediately scolded, “Mr. Turner, this is not the case, please stop spreading lies!”
“I don’t want to believe it’s true too, that’s why I came here hurriedly to ask you.”
Benjamin frowned, his expression solemn.
He gazed at Florence, his voice loud and clear, “Now everyone is saying that rence is Ernest
disguised, and had cheated all of us of our feelings. Flory, you had a change of heart towards
rence, and fell in love with him at first sight, this is definitely progressing way too fast, too swift.
Do you really not know the fact that rence is Ernest?”
This was the biggest secret in Florence’s heart, to have it exposed in public like this, her heart started
pounding in her chest.
She retorted anxiously, “I don’t know!”
Benjamin narrowed his eyes, a dangerous gleeful smile shed across his eyes.
He raised his voice, and eximed, “So you really don’t know rence is actually Ernest.”
There was an obvious underlying meaning in his words, firmly saying, rence was in fact Ernest!
Florence suddenly came to her senses, Benjamin was framing her.
The gaze of the uncles and aunts surrounding her started changing to one of sharpness and
dissatisfaction, the air was usatory.
Even Victoria couldn’t help frowning.
Florence’s heart was in her throat, she felt flustered and anxious, she felt so helpless that she didn’t
know what to do.
Under so many pairs of eyes, if she continued denying the truth and saying that she didn’t know about
it, Benjamin would continue proving that rence was Ernest; she also couldn’t say she knew, then
she would be dead meat.
The more she exined, the worse things will get. But if she didn’t say anything, things would get
worse.
“Flory, uncle initially didn’t want to say this, but this matter will affect the Fraser family’s reputation, as
well as your future, we cannot sit around and ignore this.
Ernest entered the Fraser family through the status of rence to be together with you, cheating the
feelings of your parents, brother, as well as all rtives of the Fraser family, he is too terrible!”
Uncle’s voice was getting more and heavy, sharp, it was as if it was turning usatory and judgmental.
Florence stood frozen, her face turning paler and paler, her heart turning cold and anxious.
Of course she had thought of this problem since the beginning. Ernest had entered through the status
of rence. At the end of the day, he was considered cheating, and if this got exposed in the future, it
would cause a lot of issues.
This is from N?velDrama.Org.
But if she and Ernest had been frank, and exined it to her parents, showing their sincerity, the issue
might have been understandable and forgivable.
But under the current situation, they were being exposed of their lie.
If his real identity is exposed, Ernest would be a heartless and immoral liar that had cheated the
Fraser family of their feelings…
