Love Comes To Me -
Chapter 90: You asked for it
Reeva Lawson stood by, she couldn't help but feel a little smug inside, but also spoke up in a fake way, "Could there be some misunderstanding, Miss Eloise doesn't seem like that kind of person."
She couldn't believe that the Hector parents would approve of someone like that marrying Hector Rogers when things went south.
Olive Jenkins' eyes were all red and she couldn't have looked more miserable.
"Patriarch Rogers, Matriarch Godbold, please do something! We, the Gardner family and the Thompson family, have nothing against you, but now we are facing a huge threat because of you, the Gardner Group, which is our life's work!" Matriarch Godbold looked at Hector Rogers and opened his mouth to ask, "Is it true what they say, that you really went after those two families for her?"
Her voice was no longer as gentle as usual. The Rogers family was already strict, and if Hector Rogers had really gone after the Thompson and Gardner families out of emotion, how could the Hector parents not be angry? Fletcher Rogers' face sank as well, and his eyes looked at Hector Rogers as if waiting for an explanation.
Eloise Thompson's face paled as she spoke hastily, "No, this is none of Mr Hector's business,"
Looking at Matriarch Godbold's reproachful expression, Eloise Thompson couldn't help but feel a little guilty inside.
The scene was a bit chaotic and Olive Jenkins and Stanley Gardner were actually quite scared inside because it would completely offend Hector Rogers, but it would be a good opportunity to smear Eloise Thompson and turn the Rogers family against her.
Once things had worked out, how could the Rogers family target them again if Eloise Thompson was abandoned, and the crisis for the Gardner family and the Thompson family would then naturally be lifted.
The chatter around the room intensified, and the people at the party, basically, gathered around.
"Tsk, I didn't expect a woman who looks so pure to be so complicated."
"Yes, yes, how can a woman like that be worthy of Mr Hector!"
"Just a vixen I see, look at Solomon holding her hand now, I don't know what it takes to charm people into submission!"
"It's bad luck that a nice party has come to this because of her!"
...
As everyone was talking, Rupert Rogers appeared, a sultry looking face, only to be heard smiling and speaking, "Haha, that's the funniest joke I've heard all day."
Matriarch Godbold glared at him, "What time is it and you're still laughing?"
I have to say that Matriarch Godbold had been quite excited in her heart about how good the person her son and grandson both liked so much would be, but she didn't expect ... she sighed and had a moment of mixed emotions. Rupert Rogers stepped forward, took his mother's hand and said, "Mum, you don't even know, I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen such shameless people, it's obvious that her son hooked up with Miss Eloise's half-sister first, not only did he abandon Miss Eloise mercilessly, but he had the nerve to slander others."
The people around him froze, including Matriarch Godbold, who looked at Rupert Rogers and said, "Don't be ridiculous!"
"Mom, don't you even trust your own son? I'm telling you! There's even more outrageous, the two families have joined forces to kick Miss Eloise out of the house, Miss Eloise's mother is lying in hospital very ill, not a penny of money, and for the last five years they've been uncaring."
Olive Jenkins and Stanley Gardner both both changed as they spoke sharply, "No, Matriarch Godbold, that's not it."
"What? Panicked? Faint-hearted?" Rupert Rogers sneered and continued, "Some time ago his son ran into Miss Eloise and used his authority to get someone fired from the company when Miss Eloise happened to be in charge of the planning project for Solomon's birthday party, and my brother saw Miss Eloise being bullied before he stepped in to help. "
"This family saw that Miss Eloise actually knew my brother and tried to use her to climb into our family, Miss Eloise refused, they pestered her several times to interrupt her life and forget about it, they even threatened her sick mother and now they have the nerve to slander people here. It's ridiculous."
The more Rupert Rogers spoke, the more hateful he became. How dare he denigrate her sister-in-law in front of so many people, he couldn't stand it.
At his words, the room erupted and everyone looked at the Gardner family with contempt.
The Gardner family's faces were ugly, and they didn't expect the Rogers family to have investigated the matter so well, and they panicked.
Olive Jenkins gulped and hurriedly tried to defend herself, "No, that's not what happened... it was Eloise Thompson who abandoned my son in the first place."
That said, no one believes them now either. After all, this is Rupert Rogers, and naturally everyone chooses to believe what he says.
Matriarch Godbold did likewise, and said how his own son would go against people for no reason at all.
Rupert Rogers looked at the two sarcastically, "Since you kicked people out in the first place, it doesn't matter anymore, how can you be so vicious-minded when you push people closer to death over and over again?"
Some of the celebrities who had embraced Hector Rogers also spoke out in condemnation, with people looking at the Gardner family and pointing fingers.
"Yeah, yeah, shame on you! I would have almost believed what they said just now if Rupert hadn't come forward to explain."
"I didn't expect the Gardner family and Thompson family to look good on the surface and do a lot of charity work, but I didn't expect them to be so disgusting!"
"My dad still has a partnership with their company! I need to get my dad out of the contract in a hurry."
...
There was a lot of talk.
Stanley Gardner and Olive Jenkins were ashen faced.
"No, Matriarch Godbold, you believe me, Eloise Thompson is a vixen, she is of questionable character and everything, she is only approaching your son for the Rogers family fortune." Olive Jenkins hissed, her eyes staring at Eloise Thompson with hatred.
At these words, Matriarch Godbold's face changed slightly.
Eloise Thompson clenched her fingers tightly, if it wasn't so crowded right now, she probably wouldn't have been able to resist going up to Olive Jenkins and slapping her across the face, how shameless this family is.
Why? After all these years, the Gardner family and the Thompson family are still entangled, and it's okay that they did all sorts of mean and shameless things before, but now it's Solomon's birthday party and they're here to make a scene. Solomon didn't say a word, but held Eloise Thompson's hand tightly, and those clear eyes looked at Eloise Thompson as if to say, Auntie Eloise don't be afraid, Solomon is here!
Eloise Thompson couldn't help but feel Agnes' in her heart, as if a force was holding her back from collapsing, and she looked at Olive Jenkins and spoke in a cool voice: "Am I of questionable character? What about your son Robbie Gardner hooking up with Agnes Thompson? Auntie, I respect you as an elder, I have never wanted to see you since I left your son and was kicked out of the Thompson family, you are the ones who have been looking for things to do over and over again, I am afraid I am not to blame for the Gardner family being where they are today?"
