Eleanor opened her mouth to explain, but Dwayne interrupted her, his tone cold and eyes full of anger.
“The Turner family is a really something, huh? First, you tried to slander my date by saying she wore a fake designer dress, and now you are trying to defame her. Are you looking for trouble with the Gordon family? Well, know this. I won’t forget what happened tonight.”
That said, he led Lucinda out without Looking back.
The other guests just watched in confusion. They didn’t dare offend him, so they made way for him as he walked past them.
Presley looked on, her face the perfect picture of confusion.
What the hell was this about?

Presley was just about to question Eleanor when Mario and Nathaniel walked over.
As soon as Eleanor saw Nathaniel, she behaved more aggrieved and cried, “Nate!”
Nathaniel just stared at her in silence.
His expression wasn’t very clear in the dim light.
Seeing how embarrassed Eleanor looked, Mario asked, “What happened?”
She didn’t have to explain as those who were around explained for her in bits. They spoke in favour of Eleanor, but didn’t dare say anything excessive against Lucinda for fear of offending Dwayne.

Eleanor was taken aback by his question. He didn’t look very happy either. So she rushed to explain, “I only told her that we were going to be engaged and that I wished she could give us her blessing.
I didn’t know she would get so angry and pour her wine on me.”
“Really?” Nathaniel scoffed in disbelief, his eyes getting colder.
Thinking he was getting worked up because she was humiliated, Eleanor held his hand more tightly.
