Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

The music was loud. When she opened her eyes, the crowd was moving around, shaking their head while Lauren felt like she was stuck in a trance. Facing the nervous and concerned look of the man, she suddenly couldn't distinguish between reality and dream.

Unconsciously, she whispered in doubt, "Zedd?" The next second, a force suddenly fell on her shoulder. "Shon you! Who are you? Why are you seducing men here?" Feeling her shoulder starting to hurt, Lauren suddenly cback to her senses, and was stunned by the unfamiliar face of the woman in front of her. Who was she? Her gaze shifted between the beautiful woman in a luxurious dress and Zedd. Lauren was confused. Other than Kylie, was he also entangled in a relationship with another woman? Lauren frowned slightly. As soon as she opened her mouth to speak, she was shoved again. "What are you looking at? This is my cousin's husband!" Standing between the two, Hallie glanced at Zedd warningly. Her gaze then fell on Lauren, giving her a glare. "Wow, the goddess decided to drop by! The one pretending to be high and mighty but did all sorts of dirty things!" Hallie sarcastically said.

"Why do you pretend to be pitiful? You won't get anyone's sympathy! Stay away from my cousin! Did your mother not bring you up well?" She initially couldn't be bothered with Hallie, but as soon as Hallie mentioned "mother", Lauren couldn't hold back anymore.

"Oh, he's your cousin's husband? If I didn't know, I would have thought that he's your husband! Dogs must like poking their nose into other people's business!" "Who are you calling a dog?" Hallie was so angry that she raised her hand.

She violently pushed Lauren again. Although she was prepared, Lauren still couldn't dodge due to the body- fitting dress and the high-heels that she was not used to being in. She turned sideways and frowned again. Her back was suddenly up against the door. Hallie still kept her aggressive momentum. "Don't you feel ashamed for not behaving properly at an engagement banquet?" "Our society is in shambles because of shameless women like you! Who gave you the gall to chere and behave atrociously?" Before Lauren could stand firm, she was pushed back once again. She staggered, instinctively turning to lean against the door for her support. Unfortunately, she hit a passing waiter, and with a series of cracking sounds, she fell to the ground.

"Ah...!" "Lauren!" Hallie was stunned by her scream. Zedd, who had not interrupted, subconsciously rushed forward.

At that moment, Willy had just entered through the door while talking with Trevor, when such a scene cinto sight. Like lightning, he rushed to her and held her up in his arms.

"Are you alright?" Due to the loud commotion, the whole banquet fell in silence again. Tseemed to have stopped. Everyone's attention was once again focused on Lauren. In an instant, gasps rose one after another. "Her again? Who exactly is this woman?" "Is that Mr. Bowles? And the famous Master Trevor! Oh my god, he's so handsome!" "Yes, yes! He's outstanding! He looks even better in person! Does Mr. Bowles also have a girlfriend?" "The two sons of Clements family are already taken; let's hope that Mr. Bowles is still single!" While a few young girls chatted amongst themselves, Hallie and Zedd's faces turned pale, their eyes nearly popping out of their head in complete disbelief.

Willy did not notice the strange atmosphere around him. He held Lauren with one hand and tugged her scattered hair behind her ear with the other. "Why didn't you wait for me? What would I do if you actually fell?" With her eyes closed, Lauren was shocked by his sudden gentleness. She shook her head and said casually, "The floor is a little slippery." Looking sideways, Willy's cold gaze fell on the manager who was rushing to clean up the mess. "Aren't you going to add a carpet?" "Huh?" Right after, the manager paused, and then quickly said, "Yes, yes, it's our fault for not being thoughtful enough!" He turned around and gave his orders. Lauren was shocked at how tic Willy was being.

Standing behind him, Trevor just looked on at the scene in front of him with curled lips. Inadvertently, he popped his head out and saw Hallie's darkened face. Suddenly, he frowned. en "Well, what a coincidence," he thought to himself.

They were all stunned by what had happened. No one moved for a long time.

After coming back to her senses, Hallie was furious. She pointed at Lauren as if she had lost her mind and suddenly questioned, "Willy, who is this b*tch? Don't be fooled by her!" Shocked, Lauren looked at Willy. Did they know each other? Only then did Willy notice Hallie. His face darkened as he held Lauren even tighter, "Mrs. Lance, you'd better watch your mouth! Lauren is my girlfriend!" "What?" Taken aback, Hallie yelled. When she looked at Lauren again, her eyes not only showed dissatisfaction, but also hatred.

Zedd's jaw almost dropped upon hearing this twist of events. He completely forgot that it was his engagement banquet. His mind was occupied by the accident and court hearing. He unconsciously took a step forward.
