Without waiting for Jason to answer, Laurie turned around and left.

She felt that she was really unlucky today. Not only did she get bullied by her ex-boyfriend and his current girlfriend, but she was also almost drugged.

What was even more disastrous was that she met her husband with another woman at the same banquet. In order to maintain his singlehood persona, Claude actually said that he did not know Laurie.

In her heart, Laurie understood that the two of them were just in a collaborative relationship. They were married by agreement, and neither should interfere with the other’s private life.

However, after witnessing the scene just now, she still felt betrayed once again.

As Claude watched Laurie’s back profile as she left, he recalled what she said earlier, “Don’t know each other.” Was this woman angry?

Then, remembering what she had just said, he asked Jason, “What did you help her with just now?”

“Just a bit of assistance. I happened to see someone spiking her wine, so someone was probably scheming to give her to Bob.”

Jason looked at the two people opposite him with some displeasure. “I was supposed to be the hero who saved the damsel in distress and have the chance to spend the night with the beauty, but the two of you had to come and mess things up!”

“You won’t have a chance,” Claude said icily.

“Right, you won’t have a chance!” Michelle also stuck out her tongue. “Darling, let’s go. I want to eat chocolate over there.”

She dragged Claude along as she spoke.

Claude quickly took out his phone and sent Jason a message on the messaging app.

[Go out now and send your sister-in-law home.]

“Sister-in-law?” Jason looked at the contents of the message and felt a little bewildered.

However, he had been good friends with Claude for many years. He was like a brother and they had a tacit understanding. Jason suddenly understood.

“Sister-in-law!”

Could that beauty be the partner of Claude’s sudden marriage? What the heck was he talking about just now?

Didn’t these two people update each other on their own whereabouts when they went out?

Although he couldn’t figure out the crux of the matter, he didn’t delay for even a moment before walking out.

After making a detour around the banquet hall with much difficulty, Laurie arrived at the main entrance and saw the anxious Beebo.

“Laurie? Are you alright?” When Beebo saw Laurie, there was both nervousness and pleasant surprise in his eyes.

Usually, Laurie was dressed plainly. She was a beauty all along, but not as stunning as she was today. Beebo was also a little dazed.

“Senior, why are you here?” Laurie asked with a puzzled look.

“I heard from the supervisor that Jose insisted that you should come to the banquet. I don’t think he has good intentions, but I don’t have an invitation, so I can only wait for you here.”

Beebo’s right eyelid had been twitching the whole day. He had a bad feeling, so he went to the hotel after work.

“Senior, thank you.” When she heard his words, Laurie felt warm all over in her heart. This was probably the happiest moment of her day.

Just as she was about to take another step forward, she lost her balance because her heels were too high and she fell toward Beebo.

Beebo reacted quickly and quickly held her up. He even had his arm around her waist.

Jason arrived just in time to witness this scene. The words “sister-in-law” remained stuck in his throat.

As he thought about the task Claude had given him, he quickly took two photos of the two of them and sent them to Claude.

[Someone is already here to pick Sister-in-law up. Should I still go to her?]

When he saw the intimate actions of those two people, Jason suddenly felt that this couple seemed to be playing around on their own and did not interfere with each other’s life.

However, after waiting for a long while, Claude did not reply.

Just as the two of them were about to get into the cab, Claude strode to the front entrance.

“Big Bro, you’re finally here. You…”

Claude walked past him and said without looking at him, “Send Michelle home.”

“Aren’t you waiting for me to go home together?” Claude strode towards the two people who were about to get into the cab and then wrapped his arm around Laurie’s waist.

Laurie could hear the anger in his voice, but she didn’t know why he was angry.

“Who are you? What are you doing?” When Beebo saw this, he thought that Laurie was being detained by someone and was about to step forward.

“I’m her husband. Her legal husband.”

Upon hearing Claude’s words, Beebo remembered that a few days ago, Laurie announced that she was married in the messaging app’s group chat.

However, Beebo still looked at Laurie doubtfully. Only when she nodded did he believe Claude.

“Senior, he is indeed my husband.” Laurie didn’t know what Claude was up to, but she didn’t want to quarrel with him in front of outsiders.

She looked at Beebo a little apologetically. “Senior, thank you for waiting for me today. We’ll go back first. I’ll treat you to a meal another day.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt her feet floating in the air as she was carried into the cab by Claude with one arm.

Then, he followed her into the cab and slammed the door shut.
