When the Wind is Sweet: The Fairy Tale of Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster-Chapter 136: Hoist with One’s Own Petard

Jack had arrived long ago. He still wore loose-fitting clothes and didn’t dress formally despite the grand occasion.

He was wearing a new pair of earrings today, and his yellow hair was styled upright, God knows how much hairspray he used.

Faye Turner handed in her invitation at the door, and as she stepped in, the three of them happened to meet in the courtyard, just a few meters apart, all noticing each other.

Serena Sutton saw that she was wearing the new design by Minnie and felt not only jealous but also angry to the bone!

"Who is Mr. Moon?" Jack was just curious, not mocking, "The standards are so high, ordinary people can’t get this invitation."

Faye smiled, "Jack, when we focus too much on others, we often overlook our own work and growth. He’s my friend and hopes I can come here to gain new insights and see the world."

Jack could understand this and pondered over it. Looking into her eyes, he saw sincerity there.

Upon hearing this, Serena Sutton walked a few steps closer and directly ridiculed her, "Mr. Moon is just Adrian! What’s so hard to admit? Tell me how you seduced him?"

Faye turned her eyes to her, putting away her smile.

Serena continued to judge, "In this world, besides the hosts, who else can get such a rare invitation?"

Jack sensed an unusual tension and, to avoid getting involved in a women’s war, turned and left.

At this moment, a Lamborghini stopped not far away. Adrian Lancaster got out of the car, just in time to see the two women standing on the lawn.

He narrowed his eyes, wondering what topic could have brought the two together.

The next second, Adrian Lancaster saw Serena Sutton splash the red wine from her glass onto herself, then shout at his wife—

"Faye Turner! What are you doing?!"

Faye was clearly startled by her actions and hadn’t reacted yet when Serena Sutton shouted at her again—

"You must apologize to me today! Do you know how expensive this dress is?!"

Faye didn’t want to bother with her, thinking her trick was simply too low-level! So she turned to leave.

However, Serena Sutton grabbed her arm, stopping her steps and drawing the attention of the people around them.

Just as Adrian Lancaster frowned, ready to step forward with a stern face, Dustin Shepherd took a stride forward and trotted over to the two!

He was handling a public matter, but carried some personal emotions as well.

Adrian Lancaster did not want to reveal Faye Turner’s identity at such an occasion and cause her psychological pressure.

Dustin Shepherd wrapped Faye in his arms, pulled Serena’s hand away!

He took a couple of steps back with Faye, warning, "Serena Sutton, in a setting like today, do you still want to cause trouble? Both President Lancaster and I saw it was you who spilled it!"

Serena was slightly stunned, turning her eyes to meet Adrian’s icy gaze. Only then did she realize her act had been fully seen by him.

Thus, her face turned pale, a flicker of guilt flashing in her eyes.

She didn’t know how to end it, her face alternating between red and white, and had no choice but to turn and leave.

She was furious! 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Tried to frame someone but ended up dirtying her own dress!

Faye instinctively retreated two steps to the side, and Dustin Shepherd released her shoulder accordingly. Faye saw Adrian Lancaster’s iceberg-like face and felt a slight tightening in her chest.

Looking at Dustin Shepherd, she sensed the warmth in his eyes, but she didn’t know what to say.

"You look really beautiful tonight," Dustin complimented sincerely, with a gentle smile, unlike his earlier attitude.

"Thank you." The girl was a bit embarrassed.

There was still affection in his gaze toward her, but now mixed with reason and respect.

Soon, Mr. Jami arrived, causing quite a stir as he entered, almost drawing everyone’s attention, including Dustin Shepherd and Faye Turner.
