Fanny sat at the bar with her legs crossed and took out a pack of cigarettes. Knowing that Lauren and the other two didn’t smoke, she just lit a cigarette for herself.
She was beautiful and looked even more charming when she smoked. She also had the aura of a boss.
Fanny blew out a smoke ring. “Lauren, don’t blame us for saying this. Have you been blinded by love? Logically speaking, how could a sensible and worldly girl like you
believe Jordan’s nonsense?
“All the bars in England belong to his family? Pfft! Luckily, I didn’t attend your wedding. If I did, I would have slapped him when he said that! My husband is from a
distinguished family in England. He has close ties with all the top families, the royal family and even political figures. Even we don’t dare to claim that we have the ability to
buy all the bars in England.”
Lauren was not a soft, weak woman. She was very angry that someone was talking like that about the man she loved!
Lauren retorted, “Fanny, you don’t know my husband, so please don’t spout nonsense. My husband has no reason to lie to me, because I’m not a woman who is greedy for
power and money. Even if he doesn’t have money, I would still like him!”
Fanny raised her glass and said, “My dear, you don’t understand. You don’t value family background and status, but your parents do. He might not have lied because of you,
but he lied to deceive your parents.”
Zara and Beatrice were on Fanny’s side for this. They supported her crusade against Jordan.
“That’s right, Lauren. Aunty never liked Jordan, right? Maybe he’s just trying to deceive your parents.”
“In my opinion, Jordan is definitely a poor man! He didn’t even buy a house when he married Lauren. How can a man who can’t even buy a house be called a man?”
“Also, Lauren’s red jeep was destroyed by one of Jordan’s subordinates.”
“He didn’t buy a house after getting married and even destroyed your car. He should have compensated you, but Lauren, you ended up paying for a new Bentley Continental
yourself.”
Zara and Beatrice knew more about Jordan and Lauren, so once they started talking, they couldn’t stop.
On the side, Fanny took a sip of wine. She was shocked. “Oh my god, did that happen? Living in his wife’s house, destroying her car, not compensating a single cent, and
getting his wife to buy another car? Isn’t Jordan too shameless?”
Lauren got very anxious. “It’s not what you think… hey, sorry, I’m not drinking.”
Lauren had planned to explain to Fanny that Jordan did not pay for a car and house because his bank account had been frozen. Therefore, he could not take out a single
cent.
But before she could explain, the waitress was pouring wine for her.
Lauren didn’t want to drink and hurriedly pulled her wine glass over. But the wine had already started to flow out of the bottle and it splattered on Lauren’s sleeve.
“Sorry, sorry!”
The waitress quickly apologized.
Lauren waved her hand. “Forget it. I’ll go to the washroom to clean up.”
Lauren got up and walked toward the washroom.
After Lauren left, Fanny and the other two spoke with even more impudence.
As Fanny smoked, she said in disdain, “Lauren’s taste in men is getting worse. Why did she choose a fraud for a husband? Do you know that I recommended a man to
Lauren? He’s my husband’s good friend, a bachelor and also has a well-regarded status in England. That English man saw Lauren’s photo and liked her very much, but
Lauren didn’t even want to meet him.
“Sigh, it’s said that pregnancy muddles one’s brains. Ever since Lauren gave birth, she has become more stupid than before. She actually believed that she was the Queen of
English Bars? Haha, what a joke. Is she worthy?”
Zara raised her glass and toasted Fanny. “Haha, she’s not the Queen of English Bars. Our sister Fanny is the real Queen of English Bars. You have to treat us well these few
days.”
Beatrice added. “That’s right, Fanny. I had wanted to count on that mysterious husband of Lauren’s, but it looks like you’re the more reliable one.”
Fanny toasted the two of them. “No problem. I guarantee that you’ll be enjoying yourselves in England! Haha, cheers, sisters!”
The three of them thought that Lauren was still in the washroom, so they chatted without restraint. However, they didn’t know that Lauren had already returned and heard
all their comments!
Lauren had just walked to the washroom door when she realized that she didn’t have enough tissues. She had returned to ask Beatrice for more. However, just as she walked
over, she overheard Fanny’s comment that Lauren was not worthy to be the Queen of the English Bars.
Lauren quickly retreated to the washroom in silence. Recalling Fanny’s callous comment, a sob escaped her lips.
The Queen of English Bars!
Ever since Jordan gave her this title, Lauren had always regarded it as an honor! It was not because Lauren was vain, but because she liked Jordan.
n addition, her other friends had always called her that. Over time, she really felt that she was the Queen of English Bars. However, she did not expect to be insulted and
mocked like this at a bar in England!
Lauren was from a powerful family, and she had never heard anyone talk about her like that!
Tears glistened in her eyes. She felt aggrieved and wanted to figure out what was going on.
She called Jordan.
“Hubby…”
“Honey, what’s the matter?”
Jordan was still in the car. They had yet to reach his grandfather’s house.
Lauren said, “I… want to ask you something.”
Jordan could immediately tell that something was wrong. “Honey, what’s wrong? Are you crying? What happened?”
Lauren did not want Jordan to worry and denied it immediately, “No, I’m not crying. I’m fine. I just wanted to ask you… Does the Churchill Bar not belong to our company?”
Jordan was confused. “Why are you asking that?”
Lauren said, “Oh, I think it’s possible that our company bought the other bars, but not this one.”
At that moment, Lauren still did not believe that Jordan had lied to her. Perhaps he just happened to miss out on this bar.
But Jordan replied, “Impossible! The Churchill Bar is one of the top ten famous bars in England. It’s impossible for us to miss this one. Moreover, my grandfather has always
been particular when monopolizing an industry. No matter how big the bar is, if he wants it, he will buy it at all costs.
“Lauren, I can tell you clearly that all the bars in England belong to you. You are the one and only Queen of the English Bars!”.
