The Unexpected Marriage

Chapter 23 Parted In Discord

But she had to admit that Abbott was really good at this. Her plain face had become bright now. Joan lost her confidence for a long time and

now it came back little by little. When she got out of the car, she held Darren's arm, without shaking for the first time.

He took her to the champagne area and told her that he saw a few old friends and would be back soon.

With a gentle smile, Joan picked up a glass of champagne and took a sip. Several women whispered to each other, and Joan heard them.

"She came here with Darren on her arm. Guess who she is?"

"Humph, who do you think she is? She looks like a human. But who knows what kind of beast she could be without her dress?"

The woman must be the wife of some famous entrepreneur at the banquet. Her Tiffany ring was shining in the sun. She didn't bother to argue with them, so she walked away.

"Mom, Grandpa, she is my girlfriend." Darren and his family walked towards Joan leisurely and casually. Joanna stood there, feeling that they were getting more and more dazzling under the sunshine. He naturally stood beside Joan and put his arm around her shoulder.

Joan was flattered. This was not part of what she had expected.

He looked at her and then turned not to face his family, the media.

"Joan, Miss Gu, she is my girlfriend. So to speak, she is my fiancée." After saying that, he looked at Joan and gave her a glance.

The expression in his eyes was so warm that Joan felt as if it was real. Joan had been acting abnormally today that she was at a loss.

Joan smiled as naturally as she could. Sharp-eyed reporters found out that she stayed by Mr. Lu's side for three times in a row. It seemed that the rumor was true. Joan must have defeated the daughter of the Su family and would soon marry into the Lu family.

It was said that the woman had a very deep connection with Scott of the Jian family. He was once married with him, and she had been put in jail before.

It was a legend that such a woman could walk out of prison safely. How could she attract Mr. Lu?

The Lu family were all silent. Darren's grandpa hit the walking stick heavily and left the party without saying anything. His mom and the maid who came to support him were driven away angrily.
