Chapter 101

At this moment, in the Jones's mansion, large red lanterns hung from its eaves, and red couplets were pasted on its doors, and the entire house lit up, creating festivity for the New Year.

Daisy came back from the hospital. As she sprained her foot and her bone was hurt, she could only sit in a wheelchair.

The Jones Family hired a cook to cook the meal. Edward was so close to them that he felt at home there.

In order to please Bridget, Edward had spilled the beans and told her that Xavier kept a mistress in his villa.

As a result, during the dinner, Bridget asked, "Brother, is it true that you abandoned Harriet for another woman?"

Xavier paused and looked up at Edward.

Edward quickly lowered his head and did not dare to meet Xavier's sharp eyes.

"Brother, don't look at him like that. I forced him to tell me. So is it true? Did you fall in love with another woman so that you called off your engagement with Harriet?" Bridget was curious about who could defeat Harriet.

Back then, her brother had refused the lady from the Taylor Family and overcame many obstacles to get engaged to Harriet. How could he abandon her easily?

Bridget thought the woman her brother kept must be very capable.

"Why do you believe his nonsense?" Xavier gave Edward a warning look.

It was not good to let his family know Arya now.

Pushing Arya to the edge of the storm was not what he wanted.

He knew his family well. He could only let his family know Arya when she had a bargaining chip. And this chip was a child. If Arya had a child, then his family would have to accept Arya for the sake of the child even if they despised Arya's poor background and her relationship with the Harrison Family.

Now the Jones Family would probably try their best to stop them from being together.

Xavier did this to protect Arya. He didn't want her to face his family so early.

Bridget curled her lips and didn't believe Xavier's words. "If not, why did Edward say so?"

Edward was sweating. He never expected Bridget to question Xavier in public.
