No Divorce? The Billionaire's Love Chase! novel Chapter 673

Darleen's public exposure of Ann's past enraged Gideon. His face darkened immediately as he reprimanded her, “Miss Ferguson, please watch what you say!”

Peter pulled Darleen to his side. “Matriarch, please don’t be angry yet,” he said, addressing the elderly woman. “This Ann’s aunt was Mrs. Quinn’s best friend, but she stole her friend’s husband and became Mr. Quinn’s mistress. They say birds of a feather flock together. Darleen was only trying to warn you out of good will.”

Peter’s voice wasn't loud, but it was clear enough for everyone to hear.

Ann shot Peter a vicious glare. That bastard did it on purpose.

It was one thing to hear such gossip from chattering socialites, but to hear it from Peter, the second son of the Louis family, carried a different kind of weight.

The crowd's expressions shifted as they looked at Ann.

Unable to defend herself, Ann burst into tears. “Grandma,” she sobbed to the matriarch, “I’ve already explained everything to you. I’m just a humble person, and no one will believe anything I say. Since everyone misunderstands my aunt and me so much, I can’t stay here and cause trouble for the Harvest family. I’ll pack my things and leave right now.”

The matriarch took Ann’s hand, her expression firm. “No matter what anyone says, Grandma will only believe you.”

Ann’s tears turned to a smile.

Claudia glanced at York, her face unreadable. She hadn’t expected the matriarch to be so partial to Ann.

Just then, Marcia stepped out from the crowd. She gave Ann a disdainful look and handed a file to Gideon’s mother in front of everyone. “Gideon's mom, it would be best to look at this in private.”
