For the sake of safety, Joanne did not intend to expose the two little guys to the public before they grew up.

Therefore, she was particularly sensitive to the sound of the shutter. She almost subconsciously covered Romy in her arms and then looked toward the door of the suite.

It was a reporter from a well-known media company. If she remembered correctly, the company's CEO, who was surnamed Tang, had a good relationship with Brian.

The reporter showed the press card hanging on his chest and said hello to everyone in the room. He promised, "Don't worry, I won't take any picture of the babies."

There were countless security guards from the entrance of the hotel to the suite. If it had not been for special permission, the reporter would not have been able to get in, even if he had extraordinary skills.

Joanne looked at Brian, with her beautiful peach-blossom-like eyes full of doubts.

Brian just smiled. "He will take a few photos and leave."

"..." Joanne guessed correctly. It was true that Brian had allowed the reporter to do so.

The reporter moved very fast. He took photos of Brian and Joanne from the back and from the sides, completely avoiding the two babies.

The photos were taken quickly, following which someone came in and led the reporter out.

Joanne then asked Brian, "Is there anything else you haven't told me?"

Iris and Wendy were paying all their attention to the two little guys. Brian took the initiative to kiss Joanne's lips. "Good girl, you will know tomorrow."

Joanne pursed her lips and was too shy to ask again.

It was getting dark, and the opening of the dinner party was close.

Winston went to pick up Dolly. When they returned to the hotel, they happened to meet Chris and Freya.

Chris was dressed in a formal suit, and he looked particularly handsome and straight. Freya was wearing a long red dress, looking bright, sexy, and elegant.

When Brian and Joanne stood together, it was more likely for people to associate them with descriptions like "a talented man coupled with a beautiful woman".

When Chris and Freya stood together, it was another description- "a perfect match".

The handsome man and the beautiful woman were like a match made in heaven. If they didn't stay with each other, it was hard to imagine who else in the world could form a couple with either of them.

Dolly smiled and asked, "Why are you so early?"

Freya walked on the carpet with her 10-centimeter high heels, as if she were still walking on flat ground. "We have nothing to do at home, so we come here to see if there's anything we can do to help."

"They are in the lounge," Winston said, "I'll take you there."

The reporters were sharp-eyed and soon found Chris and Freya. They gathered around them.

"Mr. Lambert and Mrs. Lambert have become parents. Mr. Scott, as Joanne's elder brother, you are left far behind."

Chris just smiled. "We're in no hurry."

The reporter added, "Do you have any plans on this matter as of now?"

Chris was good at dealing with the media. He replied calmly, "For such a matter, we like to let nature take its course."

Seeing that nothing significant could be dug out, the reporters simply changed the subject.

"Mrs. Su, the rumors about Mr. Lambert and Miss Xia have been spreading like wildfire over the past few days. What do you think of this matter?"

Freya indifferently replied with an "oh" and added, "I don't like to read these kinds of rumors." The implication was that she didn't bother to have any opinions.

The reporter smiled awkwardly. "What about Mrs. Lambert? How did Mrs. Lambert react to the gossip?"

Freya did not answer, and asked instead, "Has Joanne arrived at the hotel?"

"Yes, Mr. and Mrs. Lambert have arrived just now," the reporter replied.

Freya nodded. "Then why don't you ask Joanne? Isn't it more accurate to hear her answer personally?"

The reporter said half-seriously and half-jokingly, "We didn't dare to ask her when Mrs. Lambert and Mr. Lambert were together just now. If we annoy Mr. Lambert, the invitation in our hands will be invalid."

Freya uttered an "oh" and looked at the reporter. "Aren't you afraid of annoying me?"

"..."

The reporters were all stunned.

Although Freya was easier to get along with than Brian, she was Chris's wife! The consequences of annoying her were the same as annoying Brian!

Freya looked at the panic media and smiled. "I'm just kidding. How can I be so pouty? But since you saw Joanne and Mr. Brian together, you don't have to ask me that stupid question."

The media looked confused and asked, "Mrs. Su, what do you mean?"

Freya just asked them, "Can you tell any difference about them when you just looked at Joanne and Mr. Brian?"

The reporters shook their heads. "There seems to be no difference."

"That's right," Freya said, "Joanne and Mr. Brian are still the same as before. It means that Joanne has no reaction to this kind of scandal. Only some people who have nothing to do with this matter will react dramatically."

After dealing with the reporters in this way, Freya followed Winston into the suite.

Seeing the three of them arrive, a smile appeared on Iris's face. "Everyone is here." After a pause, she changed her words and said, "No, we still need Gavin."

Iris still didn't know the relationship between Dolly and Gavin, but it didn't stop her from sincerely treating Gavin as her family.

She saw Gavin for the first time in the United States.

Just at that time, she knew that no matter what he looked like on the outside, Gavin was actually a good child. Besides, she also believed that Brian could not be wrong about people.

When Gavin was about to leave that day, she held Gavin's hand and asked him to treat her house as his home and take her as his family. She also told him that no matter what happened in the future, he could always come home where she would be there for him.

Iris was not showing her politeness. In the few years in the United States, her care for Gavin was no less than that for Brian. After returning to the country, Gavin had always been filial to her.

Gavin shouted from a distance as if he had heard Iris's words, "I'm coming!"

As soon as he entered the lounge, he sat down on the sofa. "I'm finally done with my work. I'm exhausted."

Iris poured Gavin a glass of water. "Drink some water and have a rest."

Gavin took the water and smiled more obediently than Xiang Yi. "Thank you, Auntie."

Seeing that everyone was here, Dolly said, "Everyone, please come here after the dinner is over. I have something to tell you."

The people who knew the truth stayed silent and pretended to be curious, while those who didn't know the truth looked puzzled.

Wendy was the one who was the most embarrassed.

She knew everything, but had to pretend that she didn't know anything about it. The most difficult thing was that Dolly had told her in advance that she was going to announce one thing today.

Therefore, she had to pretend that it suddenly occurred to her. She looked at Dolly curiously and said, "Yes, mom. What are you going to say to us today? Can't you say it now?"

"Let's talk about it after the dinner." Dolly easily changed the topic and asked Wendy, "Where's Connell? Why didn't he come with you?"

"Wendy, I wanted to ask you too." Freya also said, "Why didn't Connell come with you on such an important day?"

Wendy pursed her lips and didn't know what to say.

Connell had never contacted her since he was injured by Gavin that night.

She tried to send him messages and asked if he had seen a doctor.

But she got no reply from Connell.

However, there had always been an update on his WeChat Moments as usual.

"Therefore, he should be angry and doesn't want to talk to me, right?"

Wendy couldn't tell the truth, so she had to find a plausible excuse. "We quarreled..."

Although Freya hadn't known Wendy for a long time, she knew the latter's character. Unless Connell took the initiative to provoke her, she wouldn't quarrel with him.

Freya then asked in an almost affirmative tone, "Did Connell bully you?"

Wendy hurriedly shook her head and said, "No. We just had different opinions, and then quarreled..."

"And then?" Joanne asked.

"And then... And then..."

Wendy found that she couldn't make up a story anymore.

"Well, maybe I should simply tell them that nothing happened."

"All right, stop it." Gavin interrupted Wendy and told others everything that had happened that night.

"Connell left you alone and engaged in a group fight?" Freya looked as if she could not believe it. "Even if he didn't think you would be afraid, he should care about your safety, right? Gavin, why didn't you break both of his hands?"

Gavin spread out his hands. "I'm afraid that someone will worry about him."

Seeing that things were about to go out of control, Joanne hurriedly asked, "Wendy, has Connell not contacted you?"

Wendy just shook her head.

Even Brian, who did not pay much attention to these things, was surprised. Freya had the greatest reaction because she could see Connell's WeChat Moments. If she remembered correctly, there had always been a regular update on Connell's WeChat Moments these days.

"You must not contact him!" Freya reminded her. "When I meet him one day, I will teach him a good lesson for you!"

Wendy shrank her shoulders and said without confidence, "But I've already contacted him, and he didn't reply to me..."

Freya was even more enraged. "Don't talk to him anymore! Why was he so arrogant when you're so active?"

"..." Wendy was terrified by Freya.

Gavin coughed and reminded Freya. "You were more active before, and your Boss Scott... Seemed to be more arrogant."

Freya cast a glance at Gavin. "Is Connell as handsome as Chris?"

Gavin shook his head decisively. "Of course no!"

Freya snorted. "He is definitely not a match for Chris!"

Gavin showed a look of total approval.

He dared to provoke anyone except for Freya.

Joanne, who should have been very concerned about what had happened between Connell and Wendy, only talked once from beginning to end.

Only Brian noticed that something was wrong with Joanne. He asked, "What's wrong?"

Joanne whispered, "There's something wrong with Wendy."

Brian cast a glance at Wendy and said, "She looks fine."

"This is the most abnormal thing!" Joanne said, "Usually, most girls would feel lost and sad when ignored by their boyfriends. At least, she should complain to us, right? What's more, Connell was injured! Even if she knew that Connell's injury was not life-threatening, Wendy should be very worried."

"But it seems that she doesn't care about Connell ignoring her at all. She just wants to get in touch with Connell. Her way of getting along with Connell doesn't seem like a couple's way of getting along with each other."

Brian looked at Joanne. "What do you suspect?"
