Chapter 377 Unexpected News
In the following thirty minutes, the guests kept firing questions at Jean, asking about her family background, education, and career. Besides her parents’ death, she was impeccable in every way.
When Mrs. Astor heard that Jean ran an investment company, she could not help but look at her with awe and ask in Hugo’s presence, “Ms. Eyer, you’re an outstanding young lady. Why do you choose to be with Hugo? He has a five-year-old child.”
Hugo finally ran out of patience. “Your question is uncalled for.” But Jean glanced at him calmly and answered Mrs. Astor with a smile, “I’m not that outstanding. After all, I’m a divorcee.”
She brought up the matter frankly and seemed unaffected by it. Hugo clenched his hands. Even Ellie sensed the tense atmosphere and tried to hide behind Jean.
“Oh, you’re a divorcee. No wonder. In that case, you are a good match for each other. I was thinking why a lady from a wealthy family would want to be with him.”
Their attitude toward Jean changed instantly. Furthermore, their eyes were filled with disdain and disgust. It was a complete turn from their attitude when Jean exchanged a business card with them. Hugo’s expression darkened. “You better watch what you say.”
“Why? She said it herself. It makes sense. She knows her shortcomings. Otherwise, why would she choose to be with a widower who has a child?”
Their words grew harsh. Ellie shrank away and hid her face behind Jean’s arm.
Jean turned around slowly and gently held Ellie’s hand. She comforted Ellie, “Ellie, don’t be scared. Go to your room and play with Legos. I will come to see you in a while, okay?”
Ellie considered for a long time before nodding slowly. Then, she grabbed onto Jean’s sleeve tightly. “Jean, please don’t leave.” “Don’t worry. I won’t leave.” Jean comforted Ellie and handed her over to the nanny.
After watching Ellie walk up the steps, Hugo’s expression turned stern. As soon as Ellie got upstairs, he wanted to lead Jean away from those people’s presence. “That’s all for today.”
He would not let these people continue to insult them in his home.
Jean shook her head. “It’s all right.”
Hugo felt his heart tighten. “But…”
“I’m a divorcee, and you have a child. There’s no point hiding these.”
Hugo instantly understood the words she did not say.
We are only acting, after all.
So why does it matter whether what they said is real?
