Chapter 91
Ethan frowned, “The scandal has just tarnished Lola’s reputation. I don’t think anyone has benefited from it!”
Dominick smiled, seeming to have seen through something. “He’s shrewd, After the scandal broke, I assume he will go to your home and convince your parents to agree to his engagement with Lola as soon as possible.”
Ethan got what Dominick meant immediately. “Scott?”
Dominick didn’t answer but gave him an affirmative look.
“Mr. and Mrs. Lewis, the rumors have become increasingly nasty and reached a pitch. If we allow them to spread, it will have a great impact
on Layla.
“I also heard that when Layla went out, some people gossiped in public about…her cheating on her husband and even made some offensive remarks about her. If Layla hears it, she will be distressed,” Scott said seriously, seeming to be concerned about Lola.
“What’s more, Layla has no idea that she has married me. If things keep going this way, when she sees such news, she will ask why. How are we going to answer her? Are we going to admit that we’ve been cheating on her all along or tell her the truth? But the truth is related to other secrets,” Scott continued.
Jasmine glanced at Mason. They couldn’t decide what to do at the moment.
What Scott said was reasonable. For Lola’s sake, they should consider all these things.
“Then…did you

up with any solutions? You didn’t come here to just tell us about this, did you? Tell us the best solution you think.” As the president, Mason certainly had seen through Scott’s purpose of visiting.
d then married as soon as possible. In this way, even if Scott came straight to the point. “The only solution is that Layla and 1 get engaged and Layla sees she’s described as a woman cheating on her husband, she won’t be surprised. It’s also very simple to dispel the rumors. Layla and I just need to display our affection in front of the media. Otherwise, it’s impossible to clarify the fact.”
Jasmine furrowed her eyebrows slightly in displeasure. “So you intend to marry Layla without getting a divorce?”
“I don’t agreel Layla is the apple of our eye. We won’t allow her to marry you with status! Although you thought you married Layla back then, you actually married Jennal If you are divorced, we will consider your suggestion. But now that you’re still married, we won’t allow you to marry Layla!” Mason said firmly.
Scott had expected their responses, but he feigned regret and sighed, “I’ve also thought about this. You are right. In that case, we can only let this matter take its course. Layla is a princess, and such rumors will have a terrible impact on her as well as the royal family.
“Yesterday someone tried to hurt Layla because of her identity. If you allow the rumors to spread wildly, Layla will probably suffer a more serious assault in the future.
“Since you disagree with my suggestion, please make sure to keep Layla safe. It’s best to keep her at home all the time, for she will probably get into danger outside.”
From the perspective of protecting Layla, Scott exaggerated the life she was about to live in the days to come if Mason and Jasmine didn’t do
as he said,
Mason and Jasmine, who treated Lola like a treasure, certainly wouldn’t watch the nasty rumors about her spread wildly.
“Uh…” Jasmine wavered and looked at Mason, trying to seek his opinion.
Of course, Mason cared more about the royal family’s dignity and believed Lola deserved better than that.
But there seemed to be no other solution at present. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
If Scott hadn’t done those things that displeased them lately, they would have considered him a reliable young man. After all, they, who had watched him grow up, knew well about him, who was of noble birth and good enough for Layla,
After thinking twice about it, Mason also wavered. “Since you said so, we will
“Mr. Jensen has a good point and seems to have said that for Layla’s sake without any selfish compromise, Ethan got in unhurriedly.

He glanced mockingly at Scott out of the corner of his eye. “Layla is a princess, while Dominick is the president of the Leroy Group. He showed Layla some respect and showed up at her birthday
banquet for his own sake. After all, he, as a newcomer here, needed to build connections to lay a foundation for his business.
“Why was Layla rumored to have an affair with Dominick?” Ethan paused and looked coldly at Scott with his blue eyes. “What’s more, the people invited to Layla’s birthday banquet are our relatives and business tycoons. I don’t think they will gossip about this.

“In that case, why were rumors spread rapidly and widely all of a sudden?!”
Scott’s facial expression gradually froze. “Ethan, what do you mean by saying that?”
Ethan sneered, “Don’t call me Ethan. We are not that close. I’ve made it clear. Do you need me to say it bluntly?”
Ethan snorted. “Saying it bluntly won’t do any good. I think you know what I mean.
“I’ve offered a solution just now, and Dominick has stated on behalf of his company that it had nothing to do with Layla, taking the blame for attending Layla’s birthday banquet with a selfish motive. I think it’s the best solution for Layla. Mom, Dad, what do you say?”
Jasmine was very excited after hearing his flawless speech. “That’s right! We can solve the problem in this way, marry Scott in advance!”

“Scott, did you make that suggestion because you didn’t think about the problem thoroughly or because of something else? Mason asked in a deep voice.
Scott’s expression was very subtle. He hid the unwillingness and displeasure in his eyes. “I didn’t expect that your friend Mr. Sinclair would be so thoughtful. He seems nice to Layla.
“It’s my fault for not thinking thoroughly about the problem and being unable to come up with such a solution. But why was Mr. Sinclair willing to protect Layla regardless of his reputation?” Scott’s words were ambiguous. He seemed to be blaming himself but was actually doubting Dominick’s motive.

Getting what he meant, Ethan snorted, “Dominick is my friend, and he did that without any speculated about others based on your thoughts.”
