Love Comes To Me -
Chapter 89: Chutzpah
Olive Jenkins obviously bumped into her on purpose and as soon as she saw Eloise Thompson, she spoke up in feigned surprise, "Gee, it's you Eloise Thompson, what a coincidence."
Surveying the two men, Eloise Thompson returned a slight frown, a glint of boredom in her eyes, she was going to ignore it but Olive Jenkins stopped her and spoke up, "Eloise Thompson, why are you still so uncultured and don't know how to apologise for bumping into someone?"
A number of people were already staring around at Eloise Thompson, and when the noise came, everyone looked at her.
Eloise Thompson's sullen, clear voice spoke up and asked, "What do you want?"
Olive Jenkins smiled, "I didn't mean anything by it, but you should apologise for hitting someone, right?"
At that, Solomon immediately stepped forward and spoke up, "Grandma, it was you who ran into Auntie Eloise," "Solomon, it's okay."
Eloise Thompson shielded Solomon from the side, her gaze sunk slightly, it was Solomon's birthday party and she didn't want to cause trouble so she had to speak up and apologise, "Sorry, I didn't mean to." Olive Jenkins pretended to forgive her, then smiled again and said, "It's not that I'm being calculating, it's just that this is a Rogers family party after all, and you've had a hard time climbing up the ladder. " The grim words came from Eloise Thompson, who sneered
"And do I have you to thank for that?"
"Thank you is not necessary, after all we almost became a family once, you and Robbie were meant to be together, we Robbie are not that lucky, after all a man as good as Mr Hector is rare indeed."
Stanley Gardner, on the side, followed suit, "Yeah, yeah, it's a shame too, I thought you and Robbie were so close!"
The two sang in unison, and this was said as if Eloise Thompson time had abandoned her son for Hector Rogers.
The crowd around the table exploded, and they looked at Eloise Thompson differently.
"Wow! Who is this woman! Solomon, who came in with Rupert and seduced Mr Hector and likes him so much, is even related to the eldest of the Gardner family!"
"Didn't hear that from the Gardner family's parents earlier! I reckon they hooked up with Mr Hector and dumped the family Mr Robbie."
"Tsk, so good looking dare I say it's a gold-digging girl! That's disgusting."
"I told you this woman was hypocritical! You can tell by the way she looks that she's very tactful."
...
Eloise Thompson was on her back as the murmurs and ogling eyes came in.
Solomon couldn't understand what the Gardner family parents were saying, but he could see that something was wrong and that the two in front of him were clearly the bad guys. Solomon was holding Eloise Thompson's hand tightly and the little one had Auntie Eloise written all over his face.
Eloise Thompson took a deep breath, it was no good that the Gardner family was here, Eloise Thompson didn't want to dwell on them any longer, she spoke lightly, "Are you finished? If so, I'll leave you to it."
The Gardner family was clearly out to get her and would not let her off the hook that easily.
Olive Jenkins clutched Eloise Thompson's arm and spoke up, "Don't rush off! Auntie wants to see you for something!"
Intuition told Eloise Thompson that Olive Jenkins was up to no good, and so it was ...
"Eloise, can you ask Mr Hector to let the Gardner Group go for the sake of the two families' long-standing friendship?
Olive Jenkins' face looked pathetic, as if Eloise Thompson was bullying her.
The sound of her voice, coupled with the chatter around her, drew the attention of Hector Rogers and the two Rogers family members not far away.
Matriarch Godbold frowned slightly and spoke, "That's Miss Eloise, isn't it? She seems to have gotten into an argument and there seems to be quite a bit of commotion, Hector, what's going on?"
With those words, the crowd turned their eyes that way.
Hector Rogers didn't say anything, except that his face sank when he saw Olive Jenkins and also Stanley Gardner, and then walked quickly past with a stride.
The rest of the group followed
...
Eloise Thompson didn't expect the Gardner family to be so shameless as to come to the Rogers family's party and talk about it. She shook off Olive Jenkins' hand on the spot and spoke in a cool voice, "Enough said?"
Olive Jenkins continued to pretend to be pathetic, "Eloise, at least we Robbie's treated you with sincerity, and the Thompson family, they raised you as a child, you can't forget our kindness now that you're with Mr Hector! We're not asking you for anything, just that you don't let the Rogers Group target us both, okay?"
With this comment, people around the room were even more boisterous, not realising that even if Eloise Thompson had abandoned the family Robbie Gardner, she now has Hector Rogers targeting the Gardner family and his own family. How can this woman have such a vicious mind... Everyone looked at Eloise Thompson with contempt.
Eloise Thompson's face was covered in gloom and just then Hector Rogers approached and he spoke up and asked, "What's going on?"
He looked at her with some concern.
Eloise Thompson shook her head and said she was fine.
As soon as Olive Jenkins saw Hector Rogers, she pitifully came forward and begged, "Mr Hector, please be kind, although we have apologised for unintentionally contradicting Eloise Thompson earlier, I hope you won't hold it against us." "Yes Mr Hector, the Gardner Group is the heart and soul of our Gardner family, we know we were wrong, we will never do anything to Eloise Thompson again, just leave us alone!"
Fletcher Rogers frowned slightly as the Hector parents arrived and asked Hector Rogers, "Hector, is this really happening?"
Hector Rogers purses his lips.
Eloise Thompson looked very bad, this was a big deal, it was Solomon's birthday and she didn't want to spoil the party because of it.
Especially as people around them are still talking and whispering.
Stanley Gardner saw Fletcher Rogers speak and immediately stepped forward to look at Eloise Thompson and spoke, "Patriarch Rogers, Matriarch Godbold, you don't know that this Eloise Thompson was originally my son's You don't know that this Eloise Thompson was originally my son's fiancée, but then had to call off the engagement because of personal style issues."
Stanley Gardner paused and continued, "I didn't expect the Gardner family and the Thompson family to suddenly become more aggressive the other day, and we didn't know how it happened until we saw Mr Hector... ..."
Although the story is vague and complicated, it does suggest that Eloise Thompson's background is not so simple.
Eloise Thompson was not only engaged to the young master of the Gardner family, but also had her engagement broken off because of her style.
Hector parents are looking bad now.
I thought that Solomon, who had been in contact with him all day, was at least a clean woman, but it turned out to be such a person. How is this possible?
