378. Karen White Pendragon
Herwin walked into the antechamber.
George and Enid were on the second floor.
But Enid's mother, Karen White Pendragon, was entertaining guests on the first floor.
In Upper Wharton, Hervin only revealed his identity in front of Nelly and Rebecca, and no one knew that he had arrived, not even Nelly's brother Jimmy, and if it weren't for the fact that Mottavi's Axe was related to the two of them, Herwin would not have appeared in front of them.
Herwin walked through the antechamber to the side hall, where many people sat down on the sofas they had prepared, chatting with their acquaintances or people they wanted to get acquainted with.
Hewen casually found a sofa and sat down, took out a book from his bosom and flipped through it, while waiting for Enid's mother to pass by.
But there was one man who got here before Enid.
Rebecca's eyes widened as she looked at where Herwin was.
She hadn't seen Herwin enter the mansion just now, and she thought he had already left.
The next moment, Rebecca walked quickly to the position in front of Hervin and sat down.
Herwin glanced up at her and saw that Nelly and Jimmy were not with her.
Rebecca snapped:
"Is that how you want to meet my daughter? Mr. Herwin, didn't we talk about it?"
Hervin explains:
"Nelly and I still haven't finished talking, but don't worry, I'm not here for you today. ”
Rebecca scolded:
"How the hell did you get in, do you know how important Enid is in Inlands these days, if anyone finds out you're here, you're in danger, hurry up and leave now!"
Hervin gave Rebecca a strange look, then placed the invitation on the table between the two.
Rebecca immediately took it and looked at it carefully:
"It's kind of like that, wait, is this true?"
Herwin nodded.
Rebecca's entire face turned red.
Madame took two deep breaths before she said slowly:
"How is that possible? Only the nobles and some of the big rich received the invitation. ”
Hervin says:
"I have a personal relationship with the White family. ”
He was referring to and Enid.
Rebecca frowned:
"When did you come to Wharton? I've never heard of it before, and you know you've been in Dawn for more than a decade. ”
Hervin waved to the passing messenger, and the waiter put down two glasses of red wine.
"There's a long-ago relationship, and there's a recent relationship, Lady Rebecca, what are you doing here?"
Rebecca instinctively wanted to reprimand the other party, but the faux pas just now made her embarrassed to show her bad attitude again.
Madame just stood up slowly, and said to Herwen:
"I'm sorry for my words and actions, but I beg you to please don't approach my two children anymore, I would really appreciate you. ”
Hewen said seriously:
"I'm just going to talk to Nelly about the little things. ”
Rebecca shook her head in disappointment:
"You even took the money I gave you. ”
Hewen said sincerely:
"I thought it was because you were grateful to me for helping your husband get revenge, but I didn't expect that this matter only took up a small part of the money?"
What Hervin meant was that Ogden was only worth a fraction of the money?
Rebecca was slightly angry, she felt Hervin's mockery, but he should never taunt her about her husband.
Madame calmed down again, and said in a cold tone:
"I can give you another piece of money. ”
Hewen took out a piece of paper from his bosom, wrote down a number, and placed it in the palm of Rebecca's hand:
"No, I can give you a piece of money, Ogden is my friend, and you are his wife, I hope to be able to help you. ”
He's starting to get impatient with Rebecca's attitude, and if he can, Hewen hopes that the farce will come to an easy end.
Rebecca should have figured out that she was really not as poor as she thought she needed to spy on their family's assets.
Rebecca jerked her hand back, then shook her head and turned away. Qi Yan reads
After walking out of the room, Rebecca glanced at the check in her hand, then laughed at the ridiculous numbers on it and threw it in the trash.
Herwin continued to flip through the book in his hand, waiting for Ms. Cullen to appear.
Not long after, Ms. Cullen walked through the door and greeted everyone with a warm smile.
Cullen's first impression of Hervin was somewhat different from Enid's portrayal.
This is a very shrewd and capable woman, and the clothes on her body are kept decent, and a lot of cumbersome fabrics are reduced, so that her activities can be easier and more convenient.
And this set of concise clothes is obviously what she wears in her work and life, and she did not change into a more formal and cumbersome long dress for this scene today, which can give a glimpse of part of her personality.
And I don't know if it's because of the blood of the white dragon, she looks more like a young woman in her early twenties than a mother, her silver-gray hair is tied behind her, revealing a cold and beautiful side face.
It only took a moment for her to be in front of Herwen, but when she saw Hervin, she was visibly stunned.
She remembered the names and appearances of all the visitors except the children, and she had seen the pictures of them, and she had remembered the descriptions of their appearances without hers.
And there doesn't seem to be anyone around Herwin who brought him in, and the guests who can bring people will not have a low social status, and the number of people is not large, basically she is very familiar with it, and she has never heard anyone say that there is such an acquaintance.
Ms. Cullen blinked.
Such a handsome man.
Herwin got up and smiled and greeted:
"Lady Karen? ”
Ms. Cullen reached out and stroked her hair:
"What kind of person do you expect me to be?"
Hervin says:
"In the mouth of my friend, you are a cold-blooded and heartless woman. ”
The corners of Ms. Karen's mouth curled slightly, and she felt that the man in front of her had some humor:
"You must tell me who this friend is, so that I can thank him in person. ”
Hervin corrected with a smile:
"It's her. ”
Karen smiled and shook his head:
"What do you think of me, sir? ”
Hervin replied:
"White Fox. ”
Karen was curious:
"Why?"
Hervin says:
"Because you are like a white fox, you look beautiful and gentle on the outside, but deep down, you have unknown cunning and wisdom. ”
Karen covered his mouth and smiled:
"I'll take this as your compliment to me, ......"
Herwin held out his hand:
"Hervin. ”
Cullen also reached out and shook his hand:
"Mr. Herwen, but there is one thing I don't understand, I don't remember inviting Mr. Herwen, who are you coming with?"
Hervin shook his head and pointed to the invitation on the table:
"I did get an invitation, but it wasn't you. ”
Karen had a curious expression that belonged to a young woman:
"Who's that?"
Hewen smiled slightly:
"It's Enid. ”
Karen's voice slowly returned to calm:
"I didn't know about it......"
Hervin says:
"She invited me a long time ago. ”
Herwin didn't tell her.
Enid didn't know either.
