No one could ensure whether Sophie told the truth or not, but people would like to trust her because she was the CEO of D.O.
Sophie carefully picked up the jewelry box and opened it, “Look at the bracelet, with the white gold bound, how beautiful it is. The most popular chief designer makes it to D.O. Through a few thousand attempts, such a delicate bracelet finally came out.”
The crowds listened attentively. They were all astonished at how difficult to make such a bracelet.
Much as the crowds were expressing their admiration how delicate the bracelet was, it was not made by Leilani. She just bought it.
Sophie knew what the crowds were thinking about, so she added, “Moreover, the chief designer is here now. I am sure that once I tell you who she is, the bracelet must be a valuable work of art.”
Hearing that, many people came to look around to find who the designer was.
At that time, some of them found Sophie was staring at Leilani, and then she said, “Miss Peters is the chief designer. We all respect her very much. You shouldn’t gossip about her.”
“Miss. Peters? Respect?” Grandma was curious.
Sophie glanced at the crowds with disdain and then said, “All of you think she is a lucky woman who can get married to Waylen, but I have a different view. It is the Bamfords’ family’s honor if Miss Peters would like to get married to Waylen because she is the princess of B Country. Waylen should also call her the princess.”
It was amazing news. No one could believe Leilani was the princess of B Country. Leilani was always regarded as an illegitimate daughter.
Still, the crowds didn’t care about the title. They thought although Leilani was the princess of B country, here was A Country. Here, she was just a woman who was abandoned but still lived there.
Some continued to discuss:
“The woman looks elegant. Probably, she is qualified to be a princess.”
“If she is the princess, the bracelet she made must be priceless.”
Gradually, more and more people valued the bracelet.
As for grandma, she was not only surprised but also doubted why she didn’t get the information in these four years when Leilani had lived there.
Also, grandma was afraid that Leilani would take revenge for her evil deeds.
Therefore, for one part, grandma tried to persuade herself that Leilani was not the princess. For another part, grandma comforted herself that here was her home, Leilani wouldn’t harm her.
“How can I tell what you said is true or not? You don’t provide any evidence,” someone argued.
“Yeah. Sophie didn’t provide any evidence. How can we trust her?”
“The princess,” Waylen shouted. At this time, Waylen wore a gray V-neck T-shirt and white pants coming. He looked very handsome with a long neck, dark eyes, and thin lips.
Waylen walked to Leilani. Then he knelt and kissed the back of her hand. It was a kind of etiquette between an officer and a princess. Finally, Waylen stood up, held Leilani with both arms, and kissed her.
Waylen kissed passionately as if no one was here.
“Wow. How affectionate Mr. Bamford is!”
“He called Leilani the princess and kissed her, which means Miss Summer failed.”
“I envied…”
Grandma became unhappy. Although she knew Waylen loves Leilani so much, she had never expected that he was getting more brazen.
Fiona Summer was unhappy, looking at Leilani with evil eyes. Jamie found that.
Fiona tried to keep calm and said, “I just heard that Miss Peters had just given birth to a little princess. Why not take her here to have dinner? It is my grandma’s birthday. Though she is young, she has to be here. It is etiquette.”
“Yes, I had heard that Miss Peters was pregnant. Now that she had given birth to a baby, why not take the baby here to celebrate grandma’s birthday?”
However, another man interrupted, “Have you never heard about that? The baby is very ugly so that she won’t take the baby in public.”
“Really? Is she ugly?”
“There is a terrible scar on her face. How poor the baby is! As soon as she was born, she got a scar.”
“It is the density. Miss Leonie had suffered a lot because of her parents, so the baby deserved it.”
All of these words were just like the sharp needle, which made Leilani’s heartbroken.
All of a sudden, Leilani couldn’t control herself. She felt stiff all over and held Waylen’s sleeves tight.
“Never mind. I will handle it,” Waylen comforted. Then he turned to Robert and said thoughtfully, “Take them out. Besides, I have a new order. If a man discusses the little princess, he or she should take responsibility.”
To everyone’s surprise, a group of bodyguards rushed in and took them away.
Waylen loved Leilani very much. Otherwise, he wouldn’t take the risk. Although Waylen was powerful, he couldn’t fight against all the wealthy families in this city. But for Leilani, he did.
As for grandma, she became furious. It was her birthday, but Waylen sent all the guests away. It was a shame for her.
But grandma couldn’t stop it. The bodyguards had taken them away, including Diana.
Leilani raised her head from Waylen’s arms. It was the first time that Waylen had done everything for her. She was glad how powerful and determined Waylen was.
Leilani looked around and found grandma sat on the sofa, mumbling and staring at her angrily.
Leilani pretended that she didn’t find it and turned to see Fiona, but it was hard to find her because it was a mess now.
Leilani turned to the door, but she didn’t find Jamie too. Suddenly, she heard Diana’s voice, “Mum. Mum. Let me go. Let me go. I want to find my mum.”
Hearing that, Leilani took a deep breath and thought to herself, “Did Jamie take Fiona away?”
Thinking of that, Leilani became nervous all of a sudden. She pushed Waylen away hurriedly and walked to the door. Before she walked to the door, she heard the gunshots.
Bang—
The gunshots made everyone nervous.
The sound of gunshots mingled with the shrill screams.
To protect Leilani, Waylen asked Robert to walk out of the room to see around at first.
Following the sound, most rich women didn’t dare to move. They got down and put their hands on their heads.
The bodyguards were still standing there, holding the women. When Robert came, one of the bodyguards raised his hand and said, “Sir, this woman happened to touch my gun and went off the fire.”
Leilani followed by Robert. Waylen also followed because of Leilani.
She quickly glanced over the room. Fortunately, everyone was ok. Leilani tried to find Jamie and Fiona, but she failed, so she asked, “Anyone sees Jamie?”
The bodyguards looked at each other and shook their heads, showing they didn’t see Jamie.
“Why does Jamie miss all of a sudden?” Leilani asked herself.
“Waylen, my mother is gone too,” Diana said. She looked calm and still stood up. Probably, she was so anxious to find Fiona that she didn’t pay much attention to the gunshots.
Diana looked around again, but she couldn’t still find her mother.
At that time, a woman said gently, “Sister Diana, I’m sorry to come here later. I just saw that the oldest aunt was taken away. This way.”
Telling from the place that the woman pointed out, Waylen knew it was the garden.
The woman’s thin arm attracted Leilani. She can’t help but glance at the woman. Leilani met the woman once upon a time. She was Holly Gibson, the daughter of Mr. Gibson, who was the third powerful man in the City, except The Bamfords and The Olivers. Holly was beautiful but a plastic face. She was famous in entertainment for showing off her wealth.
Hearing the faint sound from the garden, Leilani frowned slightly. She walked to the garden seeing a fountain in the middle of the garden. Soon, she found Jamie was there.
