Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!

Chapter 745: Chapter 745: It’s You

Especially when walking beside Mr. Lopez, the contrast was even more striking.

In such an occasion, Mrs. Lopez, a person from a small place like Nork City, did not feel the slightest stage fright.

She held her head high and proudly, taking each step with extreme confidence.

She was much stronger than Wendy Clarke.

When Wendy had just entered, the gazes of the guests did not fall on her at all.

This made Wendy nervous and reveal her weaknesses.

But now, everyone’s eyes were fixated on Mrs. Lopez.

Mrs. Lopez could stare back without blinking, without even a slight shake in her figure, and there were no signs of her having difficulty breathing or taking deep breaths.

Under such scrutiny, she did not show any weakness and continued to walk calmly.

In this regard, Mrs. Lopez was quite impressive, which made people view her differently.

While businessmen may be somewhat snobbish, they still admired people who could keep their cool in difficult situations.

Like Mrs. Lopez.

Even Mr. Lopez was not as calm as his wife.

Walking next to Mrs. Lopez, he was half a head shorter than her.

No matter how expensive the suit he wore, his chubby figure made it look as if it was bought for a few dozen or hundred on an online shopping platform.

Not to mention that the attention and the atmosphere at this time made Mr. Lopez less composed altogether.

Out of their gossiping nature, the guests had already cleared a path in the middle for both Mr. and Mrs. Lopez to walk through freely.

With countless eyes on them, even Mr. Lopez felt his calf muscles twitching nervously.

It was hard for him to keep his eyes focused straight ahead, as they fluttered in their sockets.

Fortunately, Mrs. Lopez was at his side.

Although she didn’t touch him or provide support,

having someone to walk beside him gave Mr. Lopez some courage.

And so they walked straight up to Adrian Zhekova.

Mr. Lopez felt so guilty that he didn’t dare to look Adrian in the eye.

Although he had never touched Cindy Clarke,

he had indeed made deals with Wendy in the past and had even considered taking advantage of Cindy.

Thus, he was still very scared of Adrian.

Before, it was Mrs. Lopez who told him that Adrian already knew everything.

Mrs. Lopez also told him that Wendy planned to go to Belfard to frame him,

by arguing he had touched Cindy and had a child with her.

Wendy might be confused, but Mr. Lopez was very clear.

He had not really touched Cindy, and they had not even met.

How was there a child?

Now, his only son was the one born by Wendy.

Even so, Mr. Lopez did not have any sentimental feelings towards Wendy, not even the saying “One-night couples for a hundred days.”

Maybe he did in the past.

But that was before he found out that Wendy dared to frame like this and scheme against him; that’s when everything changed.

Besides, back then, Mr. Lopez had given Wendy 10 million.

So they were already squared off.

He didn’t owe Wendy anything.

Mr. Lopez didn’t need Mrs. Lopez to explain everything to him to understand, as he was not stupid and could figure it out on his own.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Once Adrian believed Wendy’s words, he would undoubtedly retaliate against Mr. Lopez.

And even if Adrian didn’t believe Wendy, just because he had dared to consider taking advantage of Cindy, Adrian wouldn’t let him off if he found out about it.

At this point, Mr. Lopez was furious.

He didn’t owe Wendy anything.

Wendy had given birth to his child, but he had also paid her the agreed amount of money.

Yet Wendy still wanted to use him to take revenge on Cindy.

Whether she succeeded or not, he would be the one to suffer.

Wendy couldn’t stand to see Cindy doing well, but why should she drag him into it!

Of course, when Mrs. Lopez first mentioned the matter, Mr. Lopez was somewhat skeptical.

Because he felt that, if it was true, no matter the outcome, it wouldn’t end well for Wendy.

If Wendy succeeded in slandering Cindy,

Cindy would indeed not have a good outcome.

But at such a public occasion and in front of so many people, making Adrian the laughing stock, how could Adrian let Wendy off so easily?

If it turned out to be false and Wendy was just slandering Cindy,

then her outcome would be even worse.

No matter the result, Wendy would only harm others and not benefit herself, even potentially harming herself.

Mr. Lopez didn’t understand why Wendy would do such a thing.

One would have to be very foolish to do so.

Therefore, Mr. Lopez didn’t quite believe that Wendy could go so far.

Mrs. Lopez was not worried and told him to just come tonight.

Anyway, coming here wouldn’t cause them any loss.

Mrs. Lopez managed to get the invitation cards.

By coming, if it turned out to be false, Mr. Lopez could take this opportunity to meet more businessmen, which would only be beneficial to him.

And if it was true, they could clear their names in time.

Since Wendy wouldn’t let Mr. Lopez off easily, there was no need for him to be polite to her.

First and foremost, he had to clear his own name.

Mrs. Lopez also said that once they had proven their innocence, she would find a way to not have Adrian blame him.

As for Mrs. Lopez, Mr. Lopez was convinced.

At least she wouldn’t betray him like Wendy.

After thinking it over, Mr. Lopez agreed with Mrs. Lopez’s words.

Coming here wasn’t a trouble.

It was just a little money spent on airfare and accommodation, which wasn’t even worth mentioning to him.

If there was no issue, he could meet more people, which would be great.

If there were any problems, he could timely prove his innocence.

So, Mr. Lopez went with Mrs. Lopez.

As someone ordinary businessman in Nork City, Mr. Lopez did have some experience, but not to a very high degree.

He did not know how rare this banquet was tonight,

nor how difficult it was to get an invitation to this banquet.

So he naturally did not question how Mrs. Lopez could get such a rare invitation.

They sneaked in when no one was paying attention,

only to hear Wendy accusing him of something really big.

Mr. Lopez couldn’t help getting angry,

but was stopped by Mrs. Lopez, who said the timing was not right.

When would the right time come?

Mrs. Lopez told him to just listen to her.

Mr. Lopez decided to listen to Mrs. Lopez.

After all, she was the one who found out about Wendy’s plan to harm him.

This demonstrated that Mrs. Lopez had some connections.

Just now, at the sound of Mrs. Lopez’s voice, the couple immediately revealed themselves.

Mr. Lopez was still very nervous about suddenly being the center of attention

Upon arriving in front of Adrian, Mrs. Lopez first introduced herself, “I apologize for interrupting everyone so abruptly.”

“This man here is Mr. Lopez, the one mentioned by Miss Clarke, and I am his wife,” Mrs. Lopez said.

“I’m sorry for causing trouble to Mr. and Mrs. Zhekova. I didn’t expect that Wendy, after clearly taking my husband’s 10 million, and we were already squared off, would come here and slander Mrs. Zhekova.”

“You slander Mrs. Zhekova and inexplicably involve my family, and I absolutely cannot agree to that,” Mrs. Lopez said angrily.

“Our family is just an ordinary business, and we can’t withstand your torment.”

“It was you who gave birth to my husband’s child, not Mrs. Zhekova!”

“You’re lying!” Wendy yelled.

She never expected Mr. and Mrs. Lopez to even be here.
