Charles was dumbfounded by her slap on the spot.
He stared at her and was out of sorts.
‘How dare this woman! Such a woman who had been educated by the upper class should only stick to the rules.’
How dare she hit him in front of everyone?
He looked at her in anger.
She directly shrugged off his hand in the second he was dazed, then turned around and left.
Charles clenched his fists, and he was still trying to figure out how to make her stay and how to continue their wedding.
Just at that moment, an old but stern voice suddenly rang out, “Stop!”
Everyone looked towards the stage. It was Lorie, who suddenly appeared on the stage.
She was supported by Roger and she walked to the centre of the stage in a furious manner, shouting at Hannah.
Hannah paused her movement.
It wasn’t that she was afraid of Lorie; she just felt that she would make her lose face completely since she wanted to embarrass herself.
She turned back and faced Lorie.
Lorie didn’t show any mercy to her and shouted in front of everyone, “Is marriage a child’s play? You can’t be so nonsensical!”
Before she could say anything, Lorie reprimanded again, “This marriage was promised by your grandfather personally. Now that the Sawyer family has come to marry you, do you regard your grandfather and elders in your eyes if you leave like this? Do you still know family discipline?”
She didn’t expect that the Sawyer family had found a helper so quickly.
It was true that the Sawyer family shouldn’t be underestimated as she had been cheated by them back then.
However, she wasn’t who she had been in the past, who could be threatened with a few words and would obey the orders as she was told.
She looked at Lorie, “Is grandma thinking that as long as the elders have given me an engagement, I should get married even if he is a murderer?”
The sarcastic words caused Lorie’s face to turn dark instantly.
She said fiercely to Hannah, “You don’t have to argue here! If he is a murderer, I’ll admit it, but he’s not! He just made a mistake that all men will make. When he is blaming himself and feeling bad, you not only didn’t stay with him through the difficult time, but left him behind! We Cooper family don’t have descendant who is ungrateful like you!”
“Ungrateful? So in your mind, is it that I’m wrong as he cheated me? Is it that if I cheat him, he should also forgive me unconditionally?”
“Hannah!” Lorie was livid, “How dare you say such words!”
“Yes. How dare you say this, grandma!” her voice was getting louder and her temper was getting stronger, “Marriage is mine and I choose the right path for my happiness. How could you stop me with your authority as elders?! Is it that it doesn’t matter whether if I’m fine in your mind and I can marry whoever you think is profitable?”
“Shut up!” Lorie scolded.
“What are you savage down here? You’re the one who should shut up!”
“Hannah, are you going to mess around?” Lorie was exasperated.
It was unexpected that Hannah would argue with her even in front of everyone.
Not to mention last time, which they argued at the Cooper family as there was no one else.
Now she dared to come at her in this way.
In her impression, Hannah wasn’t like this.
It had all been discovered anyway.
Since it had been revealed, he no longer had to worry that Jane would expose him.
He was simply playing around with Jane. In his opinion, she was inferior to Hannah.
At least Hannah was the authentic princess of the Cooper family.
Jane was born to a concubine. It was mercy enough to her as he pampered her.
Roger looked at Charles and his face changed abruptly.
Charles had come to help him out now, yet he was just a bastard who immediately turned against him.
At this moment, Jane was forced onto the stage by the Sawyer family.
Her starry gown shone brightly under the lights of the banquet hall.
She had thought that she was extremely beautiful, while she was now ashamed of herself due to this sudden incident.
She was somewhat nervous as she faced everyone on the stage.
Looking at Charles, she thought although he had flatly asserted that she had taken the initiative, Charles must have no choice to do this for his big things.”
Until now, she still felt that Charles could save her and protect her when she was forced to face this matter.
She made herself look vulnerable.
However, the next second, Charles said, “Jane, why did you drug me and use such a despicable and shameless way to make me do something wrong to Hannah?”
