Chapter 1121: Chapter 1121: Two Beggars Suddenly Burst In Chapter 1121: Chapter 1121: Two Beggars Suddenly Burst In The lights around suddenly brightened, and the hall returned to its resplendent magnificence.
The Host ca out at just the right ti and announced, “The KM charity gala has now begun, please make yourselves at ho, VIPs.”
No sooner had his voice faded than people began gliding onto the dance floor in twos and threes.
Many more, holding champagne passed out by Waiters weaving through the crowd, approached those they’d had their eyes on from the start, intending to strike up a conversation.
Baron Lawrence had the least patience for such social tactics, but as one of the initiators of the charity gala, he couldn’t just leave with Enna Clark after the opening dance as he might do on other occasions. No matter how impatient he was, he had to endure and deal with all sorts of people coming up to build connections.
His character was well understood by those who had co into contact with him. Even those who hadn’t had the chance to et him had heard about him through others.
So, his indifferent attitude didn’t surprise them much.
Instead, most of their curiosity was focused on Enna Clark, and the conversation revolved primarily around her.
Enna conducted herself with grace and poise, answering every question in the most comfortable manner possible.
In just half an hour, many people had significantly revised their initial impression of her as an illegitimate daughter.
Scarlett chatted with a few familiar top socialites while occasionally taking a sip of champagne and glancing over at Enna.
There was a hint of annoyance in her eyes.
One of her best friends, who got on well with her, noticed her gaze and followed it to Enna, comnting, “Scarlett, you never expected Young Master Lawrence to bring that woman here, did you? Honestly, neither did I. What kind of thing does that woman think she is to be at a place like this? She’s like a sparrow that has transford into a phoenix. Look at all the people gathered around her; in the end, they’re just giving face to Young Master Lawrence.”
“Exactly, I can’t stand her acting that way.”
“She’s quite good-looking, and her personality seems decent, too. She must have sothing special about her for Young Master Lawrence to like her,” soone finally said, taking a neutral stand.
Imdiately, Scarlett’s best friend retorted, “What could a woman of such status possibly have that’s special? If you insist on sothing, the most I’ve seen from such people is scheming. Young Master Lawrence has probably been fooled by her!”
The one who was rebuffed was not one to take things lying down, and retorted, “If Young Master Lawrence were so easy to be deceived, he’d have been fooled long ago by soone else by now.”
Scarlett, annoyed by their quarreling, interrupted the two confrontational won. “We’ll soon find out who she really is.”
“What do you an?”
Several pairs of eyes turned towards her, and it was then that Scarlett realized she had misspoken. She blinked and tried to cover up, “The future mistress of the Lawrence Family has appeared, so the dia should soon follow up with reports on Ms. Clark. We’ll know once we watch the news.”
A few people vaguely sensed she ant sothing else but couldn’t quite put their finger on what was off.
Just as they were pondering her words, suddenly, there was a commotion at the entrance of the hall.
Then, a woman dressed like a noblewoman scread, “Don’t co near , where is this beggar from! Where is the Security Guard?”
Her scream and the commotion drew the attention of everyone in the hall.
They saw two ragged, filthy people bursting in, panicked, as if they were trying to escape sothing.
