Cecilia Gu's eyes widened in shock. "What did you just say?!"
"The so-called treasure tonight is probably just a smokescreen," Rona Muir replied calmly. "Mrs. Kerr simply lost her composure. The real purpose of this banquet is to have enough witnesses. Just before you arrived, someone pretended to accidentally barge into Sean Kerr's room. Inside, there were two people sleeping naked—Sean Kerr and a woman attending the party."
"Mrs. Kerr's dramatic antics made the whole affair spread through the banquet in no time. The party hadn't even officially started, and the news that Sean Kerr had slept with some heiress was already everywhere. If I'm not mistaken, that heiress is exactly the girl Mrs. Kerr likes." Rona Muir continued, "Next, I bet the Kerr Family will announce that they're a responsible family. Since their son slept with someone, the Kerrs will marry him to that heiress."
Cecilia Gu was completely speechless!
But honestly, this is just Mrs. Kerr's style!
She’s always been so domineering and unreasonable!
It seems like her favorite thing to do is to set her son up!
Who knows how complicated Sean Kerr's feelings must be right now!
Cecilia Gu glanced back but didn’t see Charles Yin.
He probably already got the news and went to check the facts himself, right?
No matter what, the fact remains—Sean Kerr slept with someone else!
It’s one thing if it happens in private, but when it’s out in the open, that’s a whole different story.
Sure enough, not long after the party started, Mrs. Kerr announced with a beaming smile that the Kerr Family and the Mao Family were about to be joined in marriage.
But this situation with Miss Emily Gong was different.
Miss Emily Gong still had some room to maneuver back then, but Miss Molly Mao has no wiggle room left.
They were caught sleeping together—what room is left for negotiation?
So, Cecilia Gu and Rona Muir saw Sean Kerr walk out from the back with a freshly made-up woman, standing right beside Mrs. Kerr.
Mrs. Kerr said with satisfaction, 'Actually, I’ve always liked Miss Molly Mao. I hadn’t even gotten around to proposing to the Mao Family, and these two kids just couldn’t help themselves…'
Mrs. Kerr glanced—intentionally or not—at Rona Muir, then continued, 'When Sean was younger, he made a lot of foolish mistakes because he was immature. Luckily, Miss Mao doesn’t hold it against him. Today, with everyone here as witnesses, I guarantee that Sean will never get tangled up with the past again. Before long, you’ll all be drinking at our wedding! Of course, I also hope the girls who used to have messy ties to Sean will recognize reality and stop being so delusional.'
As soon as Mrs. Kerr finished, Cecilia Gu couldn’t help but stand up. Rona Muir quickly grabbed Cecilia’s hand and stopped her from leaving.
"I told you, don’t fight my battles for me," Rona Muir said firmly. "Let her say whatever she wants—I’m not delusional, anyway."
Cecilia Gu glared at Rona Muir. "You’re married and have a kid—how can they still treat you like this?"
Rona Muir shrugged. "Whatever! I guess it’s because I met with Sean Kerr twice in private, and Mrs. Kerr found out. So she thinks I’m being unfaithful—married but still flirting with her son? Forget it, it’s not worth fussing over. Sit down! Let’s eat! She can say whatever she wants!"
Sean Kerr heard Mrs. Kerr’s words and quickly caught on.
His face instantly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.
Miss Molly Mao, holding onto his arm, noticed Sean Kerr kept glancing at Rona Muir and squeezed his hand. "What are you looking at?"
Sean Kerr just glanced at Miss Molly Mao and said nothing.
"Everyone saw what happened today, Sean Kerr! You’re not planning to deny it, are you?" Miss Molly Mao wasn’t easy to deal with—she threatened him directly. "Now your family recognizes our relationship, so from today on, you’re my man. If you sneak off to see other women, I’ll get jealous!"
Sean Kerr frowned, about to speak.
Miss Molly Mao quickly added, "I’m not like those other women who get scared off easily. What if I said I’m pregnant in a few days? Don’t push me—I can do anything!"
