Chapter 501: Baron Lawrence’s Heart Blooms in Joy
Isla Johnson could hear Enna Clark talking about them and accused her incredulously, “Were you eavesdropping on our conversation?!”
“You were talking so loudly that it would have been hard for me not to hear. Besides, you were talking about my boyfriend and mentioning me. As the person involved, shouldn’t I listen?” Enna Clark didn’t give in at all.
Seeing Enna’s candid attitude and Baron Lawrence’s protective posture even though he didn’t say a word, Isla felt bewildered. She subconsciously turned back to Amelia Young and asked, “Ivy, what’s going on? Weren’t you just Young Master Lawrence’s girlfriend? Why is she saying that she’s the real girlfriend?”
Amelia Young had never been so annoyed by Isla’s naïveté. After Enna’s words, she had already lost face, and Isla’s question seemed like adding fuel to the fire.
She looked up at the tall and handsome man, her beautiful eyes filled with pleading and helplessness.
Enna also saw it and furrowed her eyebrows. She took a step to the left, blocking Amelia’s view, and stared coldly at her, “What are you looking at my boyfriend for, Ms. Young? Your friend is asking you a question, and you’re not answering, but you keep staring at my boyfriend. Isn’t that a bit inappropriate?”
With each mention of “my boyfriend,” Enna’s voice was soft and crisp, making Baron Lawrence’s heart bloom with happiness.
Suppressing his desires, he didn’t immediately take her back home, lay her on the bed, and listen to her tender words.
But the intense gaze he had for Enna could not be ignored by anyone.
Isla and Amelia also noticed the gaze. Isla became even more doubtful, while Amelia’s face grew uglier. Amelia hesitated to explain, “I never said I was Young Master Lawrence’s girlfriend, Isla. It was always you who said that I was, so you must have misunderstood.”
Isla opened her eyes wide, as if she had met Amelia for the first time, “You just admitted that you were his girlfriend, and said that Young Master Lawrence’s status is extraordinary and that he will inevitably attract women! You dare to say you didn’t say that?”
Amelia immediately explained, “You’ve always misunderstood that I was his girlfriend, and I didn’t know how to explain it to you, so I never did. But then you told me that people were talking about a woman always with Young Master Lawrence. I only discussed the matter, because his status means there will always be women who like him, especially since he’s so outstanding.”
After a pause, she concluded, “That’s all I meant. You just listened to the two sentences together and misunderstood me.”
Although she was talking about Isla, she indirectly pointed at Enna’s jealousy. She didn’t mean it, but Enna embarrassed her in front of Baron Lawrence. That was petty and impulsive. Amelia also subtly praised Baron Lawrence’s excellence.
Isla understood now. She had been trying to stand up for her friend, but Amelia took advantage of her. At the critical moment, Amelia sought to push the blame onto Isla! Outraged, Isla glared at Amelia and sneered, “Amelia Young, not everyone in this world is stupid except you! When you treat others like fools, they actually see you as the fool! Fine, I misunderstood, it’s my mistake. But this will be the only time I ever misunderstand you. Even if you beg me, I won’t ever do it again!”
