When the Wind is Sweet: The Fairy Tale of Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster-Chapter 177: President Lancaster Defends His Wife

Sure enough, as soon as Faye Turner walked into the office, she was surrounded by colleagues.

Just today, their attitude was a stark contrast to yesterday’s.

"Faye, you hid it really well! You married President Lancaster? And it only got revealed yesterday!"

"Tell us how you met President Lancaster? You managed to date without it coming out, keeping it so well hidden?"

"When did you get married? Come on, spill the details!"

"Faye, you really don’t want any association with President Lancaster, huh? You kept such a big identity under wraps, unlike some people who have known him since childhood and can’t wait to boast about it every day!"

Not far away, Serena Sutton heard this, feeling as if she had swallowed a fly!

The person didn’t name names, so she couldn’t react harshly.

Besides, it’s a fact that Faye is with Adrian.

Serena watched her dream of marrying into the elite shatter, suffering insomnia all night.

"Faye, give us a little hint, satisfy our curiosity. When did you and the President get together?"

Faye felt that if she didn’t say something, she would come off as aloof; after all, it was already out, and they were colleagues.

So, she calmly told everyone—

"I was already married to Adrian before I joined Prestige."

Everyone looked at her in shock!

She further explained, "But I didn’t know he was the President of Prestige, so on his first day at work, seeing him being surrounded in the lobby, I thought I was seeing things and lost my composure by calling out his name."

This answer left everyone incredulous!

Not knowing your spouse’s true identity before marrying? That must be true love!

Around noon.

In the office, Adrian Lancaster finished a section of his work and looked up at Dustin Shepherd, sensing his bad mood today.

He also knew why.

Adrian understood the destructive power of a first love when he saw Sienna choose another man. His heart felt like it was being torn apart, but pride stopped him from clinging pathetically.

"Dustin."

The man nearby raised his eyes at the call, "..."

"You can leave work early and relax a bit today." It was the only thing Adrian could do for him.

Dustin looked at him with many words wanting to be said, but they turned into one sentence, "I wish you both happiness."

"Leave the unspoken to time, to fade lightly," Adrian said to Dustin, but also to himself.

At two in the afternoon.

The elevator descended all the way down and stopped steadily on the first floor. As soon as the doors opened, Adrian hadn’t even stepped out when Serena Sutton stood outside with a pile of documents.

Their eyes met, Serena’s words ’Adrian’ stuck in her throat, replaced by: "President Lancaster."

Seeing him brought joy to her heart.

"Serena Sutton." Adrian’s gaze was cold as he assessed her, then stepped forward.

The man’s aura instinctively made the woman step back, her scalp tingling.

"I warn you, don’t bother my wife, or I’ll fire you," Adrian had discovered that Serena’s mother was friends with his aunt Melanie Lancaster.

In his cold gaze, the girl quickly averted her eyes.

"Who claims to know you from childhood?" Adrian glanced at her, frowning slightly, "I don’t even know you."

"..." Serena swallowed, wishing she could find a hole to hide in out of embarrassment.

"Don’t let it happen again." Adrian coldly dropped the words and walked away.

Serena felt frozen, staring at the distant back, feeling like she was plunged into an ice cellar.

Did Faye go tell on her?

It’s all over; even though divorce rates are high now, her dream of marrying into the elite was shattered.

Because in Adrian’s eyes, she saw disdain and disgust.
