Chapter 145
When they entered the villa, Royce and Rayne came up with smiles on their faces to greet.
Lauryn stood beside Royce and Rayne, also joining in with some polite words.
Mariela’s gaze swept over her, expressionless.
Dinner was sumptuous, and it was evident that the Stark family had put a lot of thought into it. The table was filled with dishes that Mariela loved.
After dinner, the two families sat down on the sofa in the living room.
In a few days, Mariela and Lennon were going to get engaged, and they still needed to discuss some engagement details.
Before Lennon’s grandma, Bella Gibbs, could speak, Lennon suddenly spoke up, “While everyone is here, there’s something I want to say.” “Lauryn, come over and apologize to Mariela,” Lennon said coldly.
Lauryn widened her eyes and her lips trembled.
Bella frowned and spoke in a displeased tone, “Lenny!”
Lennon turned a deaf ear, fixed his gaze on Lauryn, full of oppression.“I asked you to come and apologize, can’t you hear me?” Rayne looked confused, “What’s going on?”
Lennon’s voice carried a chilling air, his gaze sharp as a knife.“You personally tell everyone about what happened at the racetrack before.” Lauryn’s face turned pale as she looked at Bella with a pitiful expression, “Grandma…”
Bella felt sorry for her and looked at Lennon with a hint of reproach in her eyes.“Lenny, Lauryn has already told me about the incident at the stable. It was a misunderstanding, so please don’t give her a hard time.”
Mariela tugged at the corner of her mouth upon hearing the words, but remained silent.
Deandre and Haleigh, the couple, had no idea what had happened. They looked at me, and I looked at them.
Deandre glanced at Mariela and whispered, “Why did Lenny make Lauryn apologize to you? What did she do?” Mariela’s voice was flat, “See how she says
it.”
Lennon was getting a little impatient, with a cold and stern look on his face.“Lauryn, you tell everyone exactly what happened that day at the racetrack, and if you dare to hide anything, I will personally speak up.”
Lauryn looked at Bella with teary eyes and said, “Grandma…”
Bella looked at Lennon and then at Lauryn, sighed, “Ah, forget it, Lauryn. Since that day was a misunderstanding, just explain it in front of
either.” everyone again. I believe Mariela is not an unreasonable person
Even Bella said so, and no one on the scene defended her anymore.
She sniffed, looking aggrieved.“That day at the stable, I asked Marie to teach me how to ride a horse. I was doing fine, but suddenly the horse went crazy, and I… I fell off and got injured.”
Everyone knows about this. Just now, I heard from Lennon that it seems like there is some background to this matter.
