Chapter 704
Brenna was older and much more experienced than Natalie and sensed the
hostility in her tone immediately. She retained her calm composure. “It was Draco
who shirked the responsibility. What does it have to do with Mandy?”
The ladies tried to warn Natalie. “Yes, Natalie, you are mistaken. Everyone
knows that Brenna is close to Mandy.”
“Their families have been friends for generations. Mandy has always respected
Brenna. It is impolite to suggest otherwise.”
Natalie understood that Brenna had hostile intentions. But if she didn’t fight back
now, W Marks’ reputation would be ruined. After thinking it over, Natalie smiled
and said firmly, “I have evidence.”
The ladies stared at each other, embarrassed and surprised. Finally, they all
looked at Brenna. Brenna felt nervous.
Natalie played the video in her phone. In the video, Mandy's assistant, Ivy, was
shouting, “Move all Miss Hamilton's things away. Move faster and leave nothing
behind!”
The video ended and Brenna’s face darkened.
The atmosphere became frosty. Brenna’s fingers tightened around her wine
glass.
Natalie smiled. “Mrs. Olson, you should keep your eyes open when you make
friends. Mandy is not as sweet and obedient as you believe.” Brenna was
annoyed but couldn't afford to lose her temper, so she simply forced a smile.
“Mandy is a good girl, if a little hot-tempered. She probably did that because the
designers in your studio bullied her.”
“Mandy is your good friend. We would not dream of bullying her. Perhaps she
was upset that we corrected her error?” Natalie suggested gently. “But I
understand that you love and support her. She's your friend. It makes sense. I
only wanted to reassure the ladies present of the integrity of W Marks. If they
want beautiful dresses designed for them, they need professional designers, and
Mandy is too easily swayed by her emotions. She is used to a wealthy lifestyle.
Unfortunately, this affects her professionalism. She is not the most able
designer.”
Several ladies covered their mouths and chuckled. Brenna used her husband's
position to control her friends. They hadn't seen Brenna look so depressed in a
long time. Her distress gave them pleasure.
Hearing the faint laughter, Brenna frowned. She wanted to end the discussion as
soon as possible. Today was a party to celebrate outstanding talents in town. Her
husband was the host, and she could not be rude.
Brenna forced a smile and said, “It seems that there is a deep misunderstanding
between you and Mandy, Mrs. Larson. I will ask Mandy to explain it later. We
should not allow these trifles to affect W Marks.”
The ladies looked at each other and whispered,
“See? She's finding an excuse to back down. What a powerful woman Natalie is!
She can force Brenna to eat her words.” Everyone knew Brenna was lying. They
snickered secretly.
To save Brenna'’s face, Natalie held her hand and said, “Let's sit over there and
chat. I've read a lot of articles about you, Mrs. Olson. I heard that you recently
returned from London, a city I like very much.”
Brenna understood and left the crowd of ladies with Natalie. “I loved London.
When you go there again. I'll introduce you to some of the best local restaurants.”
When they were out of sight of the ladies, Brenna shook off Natalie’s hand.
“I didn’t expect you to be so scheming at such a young age,” Brenna said
sarcastically, resenting Natalie's attack and her assistance. After straightening
her dress, Natalie said gracefully, “I'm sorry I offended you. I behaved recklessly.
I may have been invited as Brandon's wife, but I am also a designer at W Marks.
To preserve the good reputation of the Larson Group and my dignity as a
designer, I am willing to do anything.”
Brenna sneered, “Don’t blame me when it blows up in your face. As the wife of
Brandon, you should stay away from Draco. Mandy told me about your affair. Be
careful or I'll tell your husband.”
“Mrs. Olson, I didn’t expect you to believe those spiteful rumors.” Natalie became
sullen. She hadn't expected Mandy to spread such gossip to Brenna. She had
gone too far.
With a fierce look in her eyes, Brenna said, “I would still know it even if Mandy
hadn't told me anything. Everyone knows what happened between you and
Draco.”
“What little schemes are you two ladies cooking up? You are as thick as thieves,”
a deep male voice boomed behind them.
Brandon and Brenna’s husband, Ewing, stood close by.
Natalie smiled at Brandon. “Nothing.” Patting Natalie’s back gently, Brandon
looked at Brenna. The smile on his face faded. “Mrs. Olson, I trust my wife. I
hope you don't believe those ridiculous rumors either or try to drive a wedge
between us.”
Brenna gritted her teeth. She felt dangerously close to losing her temper, but the
calm presence of Ewing reminded her to keep her composure.
“Watch your mouth in front of Brandon,” her husband warned quietly.
“Natalie started it,” Brenna whispered in Ewing's ear.
Ewing gripped his wife’s wrist. His voice was calm and even as he said, “Don’t
make trouble. I organized this dinner for Brandon.”
“You...” Annoyed, Brenna shook off his hand and marched away.
“I'm sorry. My wife is not in good spirits. I'll speak to her later. Mr. Larson, please
go on and enjoy the party. It's an honor to have you here.” With a wry smile,
Ewing trotted after Brenna.

Brenna understood what he meant, so she followed him back to Brandon.
Brandon looked angry, and the atmosphere in the house became tense. “You
have disrespected me. In the future, I will avoid attending any event that has
Ewing Olson on its guest list.”
