378. Karen White Pendragon(1/2)
Hevin walked into the front hall.
George and Enid are on the second floor.
But Enid's mother, Karen White Pendragon, was entertaining guests on the first floor.
In Upper Wharton, Hevin only showed his identity in front of Nellie and Rebecca. Apart from them, no one knew that he had arrived. Even Nellie's brother Jimmy didn't know. If it weren't for Motavi,
The ax is related to the two of them, and Hewen will not appear in front of them.
Hewen walked through the front hall and came to the side hall. Many people sat down on the sofas prepared here, chatting with their acquaintances or people they wanted to get to know.
Hevin found a sofa and sat down, took out a book from his arms and started reading, while waiting for Enid's mother to pass by.
But someone got there before Enid did.
Rebecca opened her eyes wide and looked at where Hevin was.
She didn't see Hevin entering the mansion just now, and thought he had already left here.
The next moment, Rebecca quickly walked to the seat in front of Hewen and sat down.
Hewen looked up at her and found that Nellie and Jimmy were not with her.
Rebecca asked sharply:
"Do you really want to meet my daughter? Mr. Hevin, didn't we talk about this topic?"
Hevin explained:
"Nellie and I still haven't finished talking, but don't worry, I'm not here for you today."
Rebecca's voice scolded:
"How did you get in? Do you know how important Enid is in England today? If anyone finds you here, you will be in danger. Leave now!"
Hevin glanced at Rebecca with a strange expression, and then placed the invitation on the table between the two of them.
Rebecca immediately took it and looked at it carefully:
"It looks quite similar. Wait, is this true?"
Hevin nodded.
Rebecca's whole face suddenly turned extremely red.
The lady took two deep breaths and then said slowly:
"How is it possible? Only nobles and some rich people received the invitation."
Hewen said:
"I have a personal relationship with the White family."
He was referring to Enid.
Rebecca frowned:
"When did you come to Wharton? How come I have never heard of it before, and you have to know that you have been in Dawn Town for more than ten years."
Hevin waved to the passing messenger, and the waiter put down two glasses of red wine.
"There are friendships from long ago and recent contacts. Lady Rebecca, what are you doing here?"
Rebecca instinctively wanted to scold the other person, but the rude behavior just now made her embarrassed to show her bad attitude again.
The lady just stood up slowly and said to Hewen:
"I am very sorry for my words and deeds, but I still kindly ask you not to get close to my two children again. I will really appreciate you."
Hewen said seriously:
"I will only clarify some small things with Nelly."
Rebecca shook her head in disappointment:
"You even accepted the money I gave you."
Hewen said sincerely:
"I thought it was because you were grateful for my revenge for your husband, but I didn't expect that it only took up a small part of the money?"
Was Hevin's implication that Ogden was only worth a fraction of the money?
Rebecca showed slight anger. She felt Hevin's ridicule, but he should never ridicule her about her husband.
The lady calmed down her emotions again and said in a cold tone:
"I can give you another amount of money."
Hewen took out a piece of paper from his arms, wrote down a number, and placed it in Rebecca's hand:
"No, I can give you some money. Ogden is my friend and you are his wife. I hope to be able to help you."
He has begun to feel impatient with Rebecca's attitude. If possible, Hevin hopes that this farce can end simply.
Rebecca should figure out that she is really not as poor as she thought she needed to pry into their family's assets.
Rebecca yanked her hand back, then shook her head and turned away. Qi Yan was reading
After walking out of the door, Rebecca looked at the check in her hand, then laughed angrily at the ridiculous number on it, and threw it in the trash can.
Hewen continued to flip through the book in his hand, waiting for Ms. Karen to appear.
Not long after, Ms. Karen walked into the door and expressed condolences to everyone with a warm smile.
Karen's first impression of Hevin was somewhat different from Enid's description.
This is a woman who looks very smart and capable. The clothes on her body are still decent and reduce a lot of cumbersome fabrics, making her activities easier and more convenient.
Moreover, this simple set of clothes is obviously what she wears for work and life, and she did not change into a more formal and cumbersome long skirt for this scene today, which can give us a glimpse of part of her personality.
And I don’t know if it’s because of the white dragon’s blood, but she looks more like a young woman in her early twenties than a mother. Her silver-gray hair is tied behind her back, revealing a cold and beautiful profile.
After only a moment, she came to Hewen, but when she saw Hewen, she was obviously startled.
She remembered the names and appearances of all the guests except the children. She had seen the photos of those who had them, and also remembered the physical descriptions of those who did not.
Moreover, there seemed to be no one around Hewen who could bring him in, and the guests who could bring him in would not be low in social status, and the number of them would not be large. She was basically familiar with them, and she had never heard anyone say anything like this.
An acquaintance.
Ms. Cullen blinked.
Such a handsome man.
Hewen stood up and greeted with a smile:
"Ms. Karen? Your appearance is beyond my expectation."
Ms. Karen reached out and ruffled her hair:
"What kind of person do you expect me to be?"
Hewen said:
"In the words of my friends, you are a cold-blooded and ruthless woman."
The corners of Ms. Karen's mouth were slightly raised, feeling that the man in front of her was somewhat humorous:
"You must tell me who this friend is so that I can thank him in person."
Hewen corrected with a smile:
"is her."
Karen smiled and shook her head:
"Sir, what do you think of me now?"
Hevin replied:
"arctic fox."
Karen asked curiously:
"Why?"
Hewen said:
"Because you are just like a white fox. You look beautiful and gentle on the outside, but deep inside, you have unknown cunning and wisdom."
Karen covered her mouth and smiled:
"Let me take this as your compliment to me, this..."
Hewen stretched out his hand:
"Hervin."
Karen also reached out and shook his hand:
"Mr. Hewen, but there is one thing I don't understand. I don't remember inviting Mr. Hewen. Who did you come with?"
Hewen shook his head and pointed to the invitation on the table:
To be continued...
