Chapter 562

562 Sebastian Also Comes to Protect Wynter
What else could Wendy say? She was dumbfounded.
If only she had held back and stopped being so haughty, she might still have a chance to maneuver.
However, she spoke harshly to Wynter in front of everyone without thinking properly. She had completely offended the Quinnells!
She assumed she had successfully made things difficult for Wynter because the latter showed no reaction. She never expected that bumpkin to be Lamar! Why didn’t that bumpkin tell her earlier?
Could it be that Wynter knew how to judge the situation and deliberately let her make a fuss before dealing with her?
Wendy was frightened by her idea. For the first time, she paid close attention to Wynter.
There was no time for her to think about it, as exclamations and comments followed one after another.
Wendy finally became the banquet’s focal point as she wished, but she would rather not have such a focus on her.
She gripped her sleeves tightly and looked at the gazes around her, wishing she could disappear on the spot.
She subconsciously looked at Naomi and hinted at the latter to help her.
Naomi avoided Wendy’s gaze at first, but she thought of the Winstons. So, she held Winnie’s arm with
tears.
“Winnie, Wendy didn’t mean it. She was impulsive because she admired Lamar. After all, Lamar is too mysterious. She hadn’t expected Lamar to be…”
Speaking of that, she turned to Wynter and said in a tearful tone, “Sev… Ms. Sevie, Wendy is my best friend. Please don’t blame her. You may blame me. She did such things to make up for the unfairness I had experienced.
“She likes your designs. If she knew you were Lamar, she wouldn’t have humiliated you. The Winstons and Quinnells have always had a good relationship. Could you forgive her?”
Wendy’s eyes reddened as she felt moved. “Naomi…”
They defended each other as if Wynter was the one who had bullied them.
Arianna also came over at this time. “Sevie, my daughter is usually straightforward and offends many people. You both are the same age. We didn’t even realize you were Lamar. She didn’t know about it either.
“I’ll teach her a lesson later. Don’t take it seriously. Whenever friends quarrel, the relationship becomes closer. You both know each other better now.”
She was smart. She spoke calmly, making it appear as if she was close to the Quinnells and rescuing Wendy from shame.
She arrived too late. If she had come earlier, she wouldn’t have let her daughter do such idiotic things. She’d taught Wendy many times. Even if they despised someone, they couldn’t show it on such occasions.
Arianna controlled her emotions. When she gazed at Wynter, she resembled a friendly elder. “Your mother and I got along like that back then. It’s a pity that she is now…”
When she stated that, she sighed. “Our two families still have to communicate frequently. Otherwise, we’ll grow unfamiliar and have many misunderstandings.”
The elders had spoken to this extent. If Wynter continued to insist on the issue, she would appear to be going too far.
Tobias realized that those ladies always used their identities as “elders” to oppress them.
They all claimed to have an excellent relationship with Marie, yet they came to bully Wynter when they knew Marie wasn’t present!
He clenched his fists and was about to get angry when a voice sounded from behind them. “You’re wrong, Mrs. Winston.”
