Chapter 126 Smells Like Drama
"What are you guys talking about?" Another voice appeared.
He was wearing a suit, looking formal.
"Leonardo, come and have a look. This spicy lady doesn't have magic powers!" Neil shouted.
Henry ignored him and walked away from them with his arm around her shoulder.
"Hey, Henry what are you doing, hey..."
"Alright, stop making a fuss. I'm afraid something big will happen today." Leonardo knew it wasn't as simple as it seemed.
Neil swirled the wine glass in his hand then looked at him and chuckled. "Something big?"
"Today is his nephew's birthday, and he brought her here. What do you think will happen?"
Neil frowned. "Wasn't Miranda the one who invited her?"
"Then have you ever seen him walking around with Miranda's other friends with his hands on their shoulders?"
Upon hearing this, Neil's lips curled into a faint smile. His handsome facial features became even more dazzling. "Oh my, that's true. There's gonna be a great show today!" Leonardo frowned slightly, and his eyes flickered. "I just saw Baker Enterprise's car heading over."
Neil paused slightly and said, "Even his father-in-law and mother-in-law are here?"
After that, he chuckled and said, "Interesting, how interesting. There's going to be a wonderful show. I have to find the best spot to watch!"
Leonardo shook his head helplessly. "This Neil!"
Rosa was led aside by Henry, and her whole body was tense.
She hurriedly frowned and moved a few steps to the green plant next to her for cover.
"Uncle... don't be like this. There are too many people today..."
That's right. Ever since they entered the house, it was full of people.
She suddenly became timid. Fear was her instinct.
She also regretted it.
They shouldn't have come.
Just now, he hugged her like this.
No one knew how many curious gazes they attracted.
"So what if there's a lot of people? I haven't held a press conference yet!" Henry smiled lazily, looking mysterious.
As soon as he finished speaking, he reached out and wanted to hug her.
But she refused.
She frowned and pursed her lips. "Uncle... Can we announce our relationship afterwards?"
The man frowned and looked displeased.
He stepped forward and pulled her into his arms.
"Uncle..." Rosa was shocked and tried to escape from him subconsciously.
What if someone sees them?
Seeing her reaction, he frowned slightly and his gaze turned cold. Finally, he kissed the top of her head and he said in a low voice, "Don't be afraid, alright?" Rosa was stunned.
"With me here, you have nothing to be afraid of!" He said above her head.
"Uncle..."
"Good girl, go and have fun with Miranda first. We'll talk about it when the banquet begins!" He let go of her and caressed her head.
Rosa hurriedly walked away. She was really afraid that someone would see them.
Seeing her nervous movements, Henry smiled faintly.
He only left after he saw her go upstairs.
However, he didn't expect to see Paige and her parents walking towards him.
"Henry." Mr. Baker came over and called with a smile.
Henry's expression was indifferent as he politely addressed, "Uncle, Auntie."
"How could you not invite us to your niece's birthday party? It's not like we're outsiders. We wouldn't have known if your mother hadn't called us!" Mrs. Han immediately scolded. Seeing this, his eyes darkened, but his thin lips curved into a smile. "Didn't Paige tell you?"
He looked past both of her parents and stared straight at Paige.
Paige didn't even raise her head and didn't even dare to look at him.
Last night when he went to find her, she thought he was going to invite her to the young master's birthday party.
Unexpectedly, he went there to break off their contract. He called off their fake engagement.
He wanted to break up.
Break up...
No, she refused.
She couldn't agree.
Therefore, she came here with her parents today.
She did not believe that Henry would shame her in front of her parents.
Moreover, her future mother-in-law was on her side.
She had not lost this battle yet!
"Oh, so you told Paige. Ah, this girl. How could you forget about this?" Mrs. Han immediately scolded her.
Henry frowned and gave Paige a mocking look. He said lightly, "It doesn't matter. Since you're here, you should attend the banquet. I have something important to announce later!" "Good, good, good! Today is a great day to announce it!" Mrs. Baker thought that he was going to announce the date of his marriage with her daughter.
Then, she took her daughter inside.
A child's birthday party normally would start at noon.
Therefore, at noon, the sounds of people on the first floor became livelier.
Rosa was in the young master's room, looking out through the window.
"Looks like it's going to rain again!"
"Yes, it's been raining these days. Why is the sky so dark? I'm afraid it's going to rain heavily!" Miranda leaned over and said.
Sitting in a wheelchair, Cecil looked at Rosa from time to time.
He was worried.

"Hey, don't worry about it. We'll be fine. What's there to be afraid of when we're attending a party indoors?"
"That's right. Don't be afraid, master. I have a lot of drivers. I'll have them send you back and ensure that you won't be drenched from the rain," the young master said hurriedly.
At this time, a servant came up and said, "Young master, they're asking for you!"
The young master put down the Magic Cube in his hand and looked at his master. "Let's go downstairs together."
Cecil didn't refuse him and followed them to the first floor by the elevator.
For a banquet held by rich families, it was usually a buffet-style dinner.
Of course, this buffet was the best of quality.
Including the infinite amount of caviar, everything was shipped over from Hokkaido.
As for the various types of wine, each bottle was worth no less than 10,000 dollars each.
The pastries were all made by famous French pastry chefs.
Therefore, the Lewis Mansion's banquet was extremely luxurious.
Miranda brought them to all kinds of delicacies and said, "Cecil, try this. It's delicious."
As long as Miranda liked it, she would give Cecil a taste.
Cecil nodded with a smile, but he didn't eat much.
Obviously, he was a little distracted.
At this time, there was a huge stage in the middle of the banquet hall.
The young master stepped onto the stage as everyone watched.
"Hello, everyone. My name is Eric. I'm turning eight years old this year. Today is my birthday. Uh... welcome to my birthday party. Yup, that's all!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he jumped off the stage.
"Eric, say another few words." Brandon hurried forward and said.
"No!"
"Be good, Eric!" Another gentle voice sounded.
Rosa immediately looked over and saw an elegant, beautiful and mesmerising woman.
Was this the young master's mother?
"No, I don't like to talk." The young master pouted. Him being able to say a few words on stage was already an accomplishment.
"Alright, let him do as he pleases!" Brandon said.
Then, Brandon went on stage and said some words to welcome all of their guests who attended the party.
Rosa's eyes wandered around the room, but she couldn't find Henry anywhere.
Instead, she saw his mother.
She was dressed in a bright red dress with exquisite makeup. It made her look graceful and noble.
She smiled lovingly as she held Paige's hand.
Her gaze was as doting as ever.
This made Rosa frown deeply.
Sure enough, Miss Baker was the ideal daughter-in-law for Mrs. Lewis!
She turned around and walked towards a secluded corner.
"Hey, who's that girl? She's wearing such cheap clothes!" Two of the guests pointed at her.
Rosa turned her head over and saw two girls in formal dresses looking at her curiously.
Moreover, there was a burly man standing beside them.
His gaze was also unfriendly.
Being discussed all of a sudden, Rosa grabbed the hem of her dress uneasily.
A woman in a purple dress came over and chuckled. "You must be one of the waitresses, right?"
"Haha, waitress? It can't be. She's not even wearing maid attire!"
"That's right. Look at her cheap clothes. Hey, you bought them from a market, didn't you?" The girl in the purple dress said with a contemptuous smile.
Rosa was extremely uncomfortable, but she held back her displeasure and looked at the woman.
"Must all clothes be branded to be good? I think, as long as it can be worn, it has its worth. Even if it's bought from the market!"
"My, my, tsk, tsk, tsk. Clothes from the market are worth cherishing? Haha, even my maids don't wear clothes from the market!"
"That's right. Hey, who are you? You didn't sneak in here, did you?"
The two women talked about her as if she was a thief who sneaked in.
"Hey, should we call the police? Is she trying to eat and drink here for free?" The other woman said to the woman in purple dress.
"I'm not!" Rosa hurriedly explained.
"You're just a nobody. If you're not here to eat and drink for free, then who are you? You poor little rat." The girl in purple snorted and said to the burly man beside her, "Send her out. Look at this country bumpkin, she has tainted this high-end banquet."
The burly man grabbed her hand without a word and was about to drag her away.
Rosa teared up all of a sudden. "Let go of me! I'm not a thief!"
"Move it!" The burly man did not listen to her explanation at all and kept dragging her out.
"What are you doing?" A cold voice said out of a sudden.
The three of them were stunned and looked at the source of the voice.
Henry stood there with a cold expression. His aura was intimidating, and he gave off a feeling of authority even without being angry.
Seeing this, Leonardo quickly walked over and broke Rosa's hand free from the burly man.
Henry ignored them and towards her.
Her eyelashes were stained with tears, and it was obvious that she was trying hard not to cry.
He walked over and held her in his arms.
But it was obvious that her whole body was tense.
It was easy to imagine how uncomfortable she was feeling.
Henry ignored everyone's gaze and kissed her head.
He bent down, held her face and asked in a low voice, "You only know to stand there when you're being bullied, hm?"☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
