Chapter 19

Vincent Dunn’s sharp gaze suddenly turned toward the source of the commotion.

He saw Layla Taylor’s mother pointing her finger at Layla and scolding loudly. What was shocking was that she wasn’t criticizing anyone else but Layla’s fiancé, Gavin Clifford, his master.

At this moment, Layla, who heard her mother scolding her beloved, had a panicked expression in her eyes and protested in a loud voice, “No, it’s not true!

“Mom! Gavin is not a worthless person. He’s amazing and very capable!” Layla defended her fiancé.

“Shut up!”

But the one saying this was not Ruby Taylor, Layla’s mother. It was her father, Jackson Taylor.

Jackson furrowed his brows and stared at Layla.

He frowned and scolded his daughter, “Don’t you realize where we are? You’re making a scene and showing no manners!”

“Yeah, that’s right, Caleb Taylor chimed in as his voice sounded sarcastic on the other side.

“All of this is because of a wastrel who has lost everything,” said Caleb.

“Gavin used to be the young heir of the Clifford family.” Caleb continued, “But now that the Clifford family has fallen and lost their fortune, what’s his worth?”

On the other side, even Caleb’s wife chimed in.

She said, “Exactly, it’s better to marry someone from another family who is wealthy as well. At least you can still benefit the Taylor family.”

“You… you guys… I won’t allow you to speak ill of Gavin like that!” said Layla.

Layla’s eyes were on the verge of tears. Seeing tears welling up in Layla’s eyes, Ruby immediately yelled, “Hold your tears in!

The bidding is about to start. Don’t embarrass me here!”

They scorned Layla and even silenced her. They found that Layla was making them feel embarrassed.

They wouldn’t even let Layla speak up as they didn’t want her to raise her voice.

Not many people heard Layla’s words.

On the contrary, their berating and the voices of those reprimanding Layla were loud enough for almost everyone in the

hall to hear.

Many people in the room felt that Layla’s situation was unjust. They began to feel sorry for Layla, showing sympathy in their

eyes.

In response to this situation, Vincent reacted with a cold, disdainful huff, letting out a cold hum from his mouth.
