Chapter 768

They had come today thinking they could use this opportunity to get closer to the Lancaster family. Who knew that this ‘Mr. Lancaster’ was a fake?

What a waste of time. It was just bad luck.

In the blink of an eye, more than half the guests had left, and the once-lively ballroom fell silent.

Mr. and Mrs. Scott couldn’t handle the immense shock. They grabbed their daughter.

“Didn’t you say Lennon was Mr. Harrison Lancaster’s brother? How did he suddenly become the son of a mistress?!”

But Monica was even more devastated. If this was true, her dream of marrying into the Lancaster family was completely shattered.

“No, it can’t be true! I’ll call Lennon!” she said, frantically pulling out her phone.

However, the call wouldn’t go through.

The people who had been surrounding Monica exchanged glances.

“Ahem, Monica, I have something to do, so I’ll be leaving now…”

“Me too, something urgent just came up.”

It was obvious to everyone that Lennon’s identity was most likely fake, so there was no longer any need to flatter Monica.

In fact, after such a huge embarrassment, it was uncertain if she could even maintain her previous social standing.

Monica wasn’t a fool; she could see their change in attitude. She snapped, “So what if Lennon isn’t a legitimate young master of the Lancaster family? Isn’t his last name still Lancaster? Were the Lancaster family’s resources and the money he used all fake?!”

As she spoke, she managed to convince herself.

That’s right, so what if he was the son of a mistress? The resources he commanded were real, weren’t they?

It was incredibly difficult to get close to the Lancaster family. Just having a connection like Lennon was more than most people could hope for!

Monica quickly regained her confidence and said coldly to her fair-weather friends, “Go ahead and leave if you want. But once you’re gore, don’t come back begging me for help!”

The few who were about to leave hesitated.

But just then, someone at the door spoke up

“Lennon won’t be able to rely on the Lancaster family anymore. Hasn’t everyone heard about that?”

Everyone turned to see a man standing at the entrance. He had come with Marcus but had stayed behind to watch the show.

“What do you mean?!” Monica’s heart skipped a beat as she demanded an answer.

“I mean, Ryan has already cut ties with the Lancaster family. As for Lennon, who isn’t even an illegitimate son, it’s impossible for him to use the family’s resources anymore.”

“In fact, when Ryan left the Lancaster family, he gave up all his assets. So, Lennon will probably have to go back to the poor life he was supposed to live.”

Having delivered this helpful piece of information and enjoyed the drama, the man strolled away.

This devastating news left the Scotts in a state of shock, their minds completely blank.

As for the guests who had been hesitating, they no longer had any doubts Without so much as a word to Monica, they quickly left the

ballroom, already

aring the

massive gossip on their phones.

Meanwhile, Anastasia held Harrison’s arm. “Hubby, what are you doing here?”

“Didn’t I tell you I had a dinner

meeting? What about you? What are

you doing here?” Harrison squeezed

her hand and introduced the business tycoon beside them, Mr. Zade”
