Chapter 705 His words caused a sensation. Brandon's calm expression made him even more intimidating. He said, “My wife and | are one. | invited her here tonight, and | didn’t expect her to be so disrespected. Ewing, is this your idea of entertaining guests?” Embarrassed, Ewing said, “Mr. Larson, there must be smisunderstanding.” They had heard that Brandon loved his wife, and today they witnessed how strong that bond was.
Seeing her husband in such a dilemma, Brenna apologized to Natalie, “I'm sorry for what happened just now, Mrs. Larson. | wanted to protect Mandy, and | am ashamed to admit that | lost my temper. | will contact the media and explain my mistake with regards to the service | received from W Marks.” Natalie glanced at Brandon and then at Brenna. “Thank you.” Brandon nodded approvingly and smiled. Brenna and Ewing were relieved. Smiling, Ewing announced, “Mr.
Larson was just kidding.” Brandon didn’t argue. Before Natalie could say anything, she was pulled onto the dance floor by her husband.
The two danced beautifully. At the outer edges of the party, Mandy stamped her feet. She looked at Draco next to her and complained, “What did Mrs. Olson do wrong? It was obviously Natalie's fault. She was being very impolite.” Mandy hadn't expected Natalie to attend the dinner party. After she saw the heated exchange between her and Brenna from a distance, she becvery excited, as she had been looking forward to something like this. She had thought Brenna would teach Natalie a lesson, and didn’t expect that Brenna herself would rather be taught a lesson by Brandon. Mandy had never seen her as embarrassed as she was today! “Brandon has snerve. Who does he think he is? Does he think he can do whatever he wants in Barnes just because he’s rich? Unbelievable!” She put her glass down and got ready to walk over to help.
“Calm down, Mandy!” Draco commanded in a cold voice, grabbing her wrist firmly and giving her a stern look.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMandy was shocked by his reaction. “Why are you upset with me? It’s your employee, Natalie, that you need to be upset with! She needs sdiscipline!” She could sense the anger in his tone and knew that he was trying to stand up for Natalie.
In addition to that, he had been mean to her the entire night.
Mandy had thought that Draco was there to apologize, but now she understood that he only cthere to confront her.
“You keep picking on Natalie. On several occasions I've had to remind you to desist from it.” Draco let go of her wrist and said coldly, “You didn’t feel any remorse at all, and you ended up getting Brenna in trouble. You're so stubborn.” Mandy suddenly felt inexplicable sadness. She anxiously asked, “Do you mean to say that | intentionally brought Natalie here tonight?” The mere thought of that was ridiculous.
“Mrs. Olson and | didn’t know that she would be here today. Mrs. Olson didn’t plan this.” Mandy had never been this devastated by Draco’s disapproval.
He squinted his eyes and asked, “Wasn't it Brenna who brought a lot of bad press to W Marks? I've already spoken to the media outlets, and they all said that she was the one who leaked the information to them.” Mandy didn’t know what to say in the moment. She then admitted with a lot of guilt, “Mrs. Olson was just telling the truth, and on the day that she called, Elizabeth tried to blme for it.” With a clear mind, Draco immediately made a concise point. “ If you hadn't gone ahead and moved all the things out of the W Marks, and also hadn't asked Brenna mount pressure onto makeapologize, none of these events would have taken place today.” This made Mandy's heart skip a beat. She realized that Draco was really angry this time. She bit her lower lip, with eyes full of tears. She touched the hem of his clothes and said softly, “Don’t be so mad at me. I'm here to make amends.” Draco avoided her touch and glanced at her coldly. “I just chere to let you know that | won't be siding with you anymore. Take care of yourself. If you still consideras a friend, don’t do anything more disappointing than you already have.” As soon as Draco finished speaking, he left the villa. Mandy took a deep breath, wiped the tears from her face and ran out after him.
At the center of the dance floor, Natalie rested her head on Brandon's shoulder and danced to the rhythm of the music. She cast an innocent glance at the entrance and suddenly saw the flash of a familiar figure.
She couldn't help but stare in the direction of the front door.
“What's wrong?” “I just saw someone who looked like Mr. Wesley.” By the tNatalie finished mentally processing what she saw, the familiar figure had disappeared.
“It can’t be him. Draco definitely wouldn't attend an event like this.” As he held her waist, Brandon suddenly lifted her off her feet.
Taken by surprise by his move, Natalie rested her hands on his shoulders and blushed, completely forgetting about Draco.
“Draco, wait for me!” In her high heels, Mandy pursued him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe looked incredibly humiliated as she cried in the chilly night wind, ruining her mascara and leaving tears to run down her cheeks into two black streaks.
Mandy never expected she would be in this situation just a day ago. She had high self- esteem. But, her confidence had significantly eroded as a result of love.
Neither did Draco show mercy, nor did he turn around.
In fact, he was well aware that Mandy was not a bad person. She was just too self-willed. When it pertained to people and things she disliked, she had a habit of attributing all faults to others. She was a proud woman who believed she would never be wrong.
He was determined to teach her a lesson this time! Mandy becincreasingly tense as she watched him walk more hurriedly. She didn’t anticipate that Brenna’s approach would not only fail but that this tDraco would get even angrier with her because of the mistake. It was only a matter of seconds until the green light turned red when she noticed that he was about to cross the road. Despite her best efforts, she couldn't catch up with him because she inadvertently stuck her high heeled shoe inside the sewer’s lid.
Draco hesitated when he heard a faint cry behind him but eventually decided against turning around.
Mandy's erratic personality and wealthy family background had affected her design career greatly and not in the good way. She would never mature or stray from the right path if she couldn't get through these challenges.
Mandy covered her face as she sobbed vehemently. Without a doubt, she didn’t expect that she would have to suffer so greatly for a mistake.
