Chapter 244: Fickle in Love
Aromatherapy!
It must be the aromatherapy problem! Otherwise, she would never have mistaken Mason Monroe for Ryder Quinn!
But didn’t Felix Jennings say it would dissipate in fifteen minutes? Why is she still affected?
Could it be Summer Monroe’s doing?
But Coralie Hughes immediately dismissed this thought. The drug was brought from abroad by Felix Jennings, and even if Summer had medical skills, there’s no way she could extend the drug’s effects.
It must be Felix Jennings who made a mistake, the lingering scent in the air affected her.
For a moment, Coralie Hughes was so desperate she couldn’t even speak.
She wanted to harm Summer, but she never expected it to ruin herself so badly. And her grievances couldn’t be voiced; saying them would only expose her secret of wanting to tarnish Summer’s reputation.
After today, how could she face everyone?!
Ryder Quinn definitely would want her even less now!
Now, Coralie Hughes was completely like someone eating bitter goldthread, suffering in silence.
Evan Hughes saw Coralie Hughes’s pale face and desperate, helpless appearance, and felt some compassion.
After all, she was the daughter he raised himself; he couldn’t just let her be.
Evan Hughes bit his teeth hard and finally made a decision.
He could only let mistakes become fates...
"Mason Monroe!" He looked at Mason Monroe and asked with a complicated mood, "Can you swear to be good to Coralie all your life, love her, care for her, and not let her suffer wrongs?"
Mason Monroe instinctively straightened his back and raised three fingers of his right hand, swearing: "I swear to the heavens, I will love and care for Coralie for my entire life!"
Evan Hughes resignedly closed his eyes, taking a deep breath and nodded: "I understand."
Coralie Hughes on the bed trembled and asked in a terrified voice: "Understand what... Dad, what are you going to do?"
She had a very strong bad premonition!
"What do you mean what I’m going to do?!" Evan Hughes glared at her, saying: "Doing such a ridiculous thing, and live broadcast no less, how can you face people without explanation? How can our Hughes Family face anyone?!"
Coralie Hughes opened her mouth, her voice stiff, asking: "So... What do you mean?"
"Of course, it’s for you two bastards to get married!"
Mason Monroe’s eyes lit up, while Coralie Hughes’ vision went black, fainting in anger.
In the last second before losing consciousness, she murmured: "I don’t want to marry him, the one I want to marry is Ryder Quinn..."
This sentence happened to be heard by Mason Monroe.
He asked, incredulous and hurt: "Coralie, didn’t you say you liked me?"
However, Coralie Hughes, who had fainted, couldn’t hear this sentence or argue against it.
Evan Hughes looked at Coralie Hughes fainting, his heartache fading away like water.
He didn’t look at Coralie Hughes; he coldly said: "Go get a private doctor, Mrs. Chambers, help her dress! Mason Monroe, come down with me; I need to explain to everyone, you don’t need to say anything, just listen."
Mason Monroe was very worried about Coralie Hughes’s condition, but since Evan Hughes said so, he had to temporarily leave Coralie and follow Evan Hughes downstairs.
None of the guests downstairs had left; how could people enjoying gossip leave a spectacle so easily?
Even many who had canceled their attendance at the banquet wanted to come upon hearing gossip.
That’s why the guests in the hall didn’t diminish but increased, bustling with excitement.
This confirms the saying: "Human nature is gossip."
When everyone saw Evan Hughes actually bringing the "video’s male lead" downstairs, discussions became even more intense—
