Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 311

Carlene was as white as a sheet; why would Maja show up just now?

Maja looked at her, showing a bit of surprise.

"Ms. Shepard, have you met that woman? Why would you think it was me? If I didn't show up today, would everyone think I'm some kind of floozy?"

That's exactly it. If Maja hadn't shown up, these people would think the designer Ian hired was getting cozy with a bodyguard.

Rumors spread like wildfire.

Carlene broke out in a cold sweat at the question. If she answered wrong, her reputation would take a hit.

She quickly spoke up.

"Penny, you only showed up for a bit last night and then left, I thought..."

"You thought it was me without even checking. We don't have any beef; if it's because I'm working for Mr. Raymond, then you can talk to him about ending our partnership instead of trying to smear my name behind my back."

Hearing this, Carlene's eyes instantly reddened, and she bowed her head.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to; I heard the bodyguard call out your name."

She didn't hesitate to throw the bodyguard under the bus.

The bodyguard froze; he had no idea who Penny was.

Maja looked at him and spoke.

"I've never met you."

The bodyguard's throat went dry with fear; these were all high-status people, and he couldn't afford to offend them.

He quickly defended himself.

"I'm sorry, this woman's also called Penny, so I just called her that; I’m sorry, I have to take her and leave now."

Dana had been quietly tugging at the bodyguard's hand, shaking like a leaf.

She thought she could get away with it, but now that Penny had actually shown up. If she stayed here any longer, her cover would be blown!

She would definitely lose her reputation then!

She kept pinching the bodyguard, who quickly wrapped his arm around her and tried to move forward.

As she passed Connie, Connie subtly stuck out her leg, blocking the woman who didn't dare show her face.

She tripped forward, her clothes instantly falling off, leaving her in an awkward heap on the floor.

When she got up, her hickey-covered body and face were exposed for all to see.

There were gasps.

"I'm sorry...I was forced; I was forced last night."

Carlene turned to the bodyguard with a stern face.

"Dana is a daughter of the Shepard family; how dare you treat her like this? Do you know this is illegal!"

The bodyguard was startled and immediately knelt down.

"Ms. Shepard, I really don't know what happened, I only had a drink, and then I started feeling off."

Carlene took a deep breath, quickly diverting everyone's attention to the drink instead of why Dana was impersonating Penny.

"Don't make excuses; I’ll get the Haskins family to investigate this immediately. Even if someone really drugged the wine, you are still guilty!"

Maja knew Carlene’s plan and was trying to cover up the impersonation.

The crowd did start to wonder where the drink came from because of her words.

Maja chuckled.

"Ms. Shepard, the drink should be looked into, but I want to ask the bodyguard; it seems Dana doesn't have the name “Penny”. How could you get it wrong?"

Carlene hated her; why was she still hanging on to this issue?
