Forced Into Marriage: My Husband’s Too Mean novel Chapter 498

Zayn walked to the front of the few of them. Quentin revealed a stiff smile and said, “President, you’re here!”

Zayn sized him up, then gently nodded and expressionlessly answered, "Mm."

Quentin did not know if it was his illusion, but he felt that Zayn was shooting daggers at him. In a few seconds, Quentin felt like he was already stabbed a thousand times.

This time, Quentin would really end up dead because of the Madam.

Quentin was crying in his heart, but he did not dare to show it and he suddenly looked ten centimeters shorter. "President, then I’ll get going first." After saying that, Quentin slipped away like he was fleeing for his life.

Zayn's gaze fell on Lindsey, Shaun, and the small Dezi, who was held by the two of them.

Those who did not know their relationship would think that they were a lovely family of three.

Great!

Lindsey was also looking at Zayn and did not avoid his gaze like she did after the divorce. This time, she looked at Zayn with clear eyes and did not even blink.

Zayn probably rushed over directly from the office because his clothes did not show that he put in any more effort than usual, but his face...

"Congratulations, Mr. Guggenheim!" Lindsey took out the gift they prepared and handed it to Zayn.

Zayn did not reach out to receive it and looked at Lindsey’s bright smile. His chest hurt again.

"Zayn, why didn't you take it?" A sultry voice suddenly came from the side. Before everyone reacted, a heavy fragrance wafted over, then a woman in red reached out and held Zayn's arm.

Ann's style of dressing was always bold, but today, she looked even more exaggerated. Her hair was pulled back into a high bun, revealing her fair and slender neck. Her deep v-neck dress showed off her large breasts and made her look all the more charming.

When she held Zayn's arm, his arm stiffened slightly, but he did not push her away.

"Zayn, where are your manners!" Ann pouted and slapped Zayn's chest coquettishly. "Even if you don't like Ms. Juhl's gift, you have to accept it. As the host, we can't be so rude."

The corner of her eye swept across Lindsey’s pale face which was extremely glum. Ann suddenly felt a sense of pleasure from revenge.

Ann leaned in closer to Zayn and had one hand tightly wrapped around him. Her other hand reached out to Lindsey as she smiled sinisterly, "Thank you, Ms. Juhl."

The stars of the day were certainly very attractive. With Lindsey and Shaun there, no one would miss the interaction between the four most talked about people in the room. Many prying eyes had already looked over to see how the drama would unfold.

Ann's nails were well manicured with bold colors and her sharp nails looked aggressive.

Lindsey's originally outstretched hand had retracted when she appeared.

Ann’s gestures were futile on Zayn and suddenly felt more exasperated, but she still needed to keep up the act.

"Ms. Juhl, feelings can’t be forced. You can’t just barge into our engagement ceremony without an invitation. I understand how you feel, but this will cause a lot of trouble for both me and Zayn."

Ann acted like a gracious host and painted Lindsey as a woman who had lost her mind because of jealousy, going as far as to ruin her ex-husband's engagement ceremony.

The eyes of the surrounding guests fell on Lindsey. After hearing Ann's words, they immediately felt that Lindsey had gone too far and simply had no manners.

Lindsey sneered at Ann, then reached into her purse to take out two pink invitations. She opened them and threw them at Ann.

"Ms. Ann, you might as well take a look. Doesn’t this look familiar to you? Since you invited me here, why are you putting up this act? Is this not the invitation that you sent someone to secretly put on my doorstep? Not only did you invite me so 'sincerely', but you also had someone go to my son’s school to harass him and say things like that to a kindergartener. May I ask if this is what you meant by not being invited?"

Ann looked at the two invitations that fell to the ground. Her chest was heaving violently. All the invitations were taken back when the guests entered the venue, so how did Lindsey still have hers?

She was completely unaware that Quentin, the unreliable one, was greeting the guests at the door.

Moreover, Ann thought that even if Lindsey came, she would only be sitting there sad and alone and would not dare to confront her about this matter head-on. Who knew that Lindsey would even say this in front of everyone?

Ann's face immediately turned pale and red from anger. "That’s nonsense! Ms. Juhl, your joke is really funny. Why would I want to invite my fiance's ex-wife to our engagement ceremony?"
