The Headline Queen: President Hawthorne is Her Die-Hard Fan! Chapter 297: Let’s Head Back First

Mrs. Xavier considered herself not to be particularly upright or kind, but she really couldn’t bring herself to harm innocent people without reason.

If the Abbott Family dared to treat her daughter like this, she would let them know her ans.

So a few days later, while the Abbott Family was completely unaware that their secret was out, they attended the banquet hosted by the Xavier Family.

Mrs. Abbott pushed her son towards Sumr Xavier, expressing her satisfaction with Sumr as a daughter-in-law and her eagerness for her to marry into the family soon.

This sounded like she couldn’t wait.

However, the Xavier Family remained silent, much to Mrs. Abbott’s displeasure.

Her son was so outstanding, what was the Xavier Family hesitating for?

She planned to use today’s banquet to let everyone know her son and Sumr Xavier were a couple, hoping to speed up their marriage.

So Mrs. Abbott pulled Sumr Xavier aside, smiling as she said, "Sumr, let Ryan accompany you for the first dance. He’s been practicing for a long ti just for this dance."

It seed like Ryan cared a lot about Sumr.

But Sumr Xavier wasn’t as friendly to Mrs. Abbott as she used to be. She withdrew her hand and said indifferently, "I’m sorry, Mrs. Abbott, I’m not very good at dancing. I might not be able to dance with Young Master Abbott."

Mrs. Abbott’s expression froze visibly.

She realized that not only had Sumr’s attitude towards her cooled, but the entire Xavier Family seed uninterested in the Abbott Family.

What had happened?

Could the Xavier Family already know about her son’s affairs?

No way. If they did know, how could the Xavier Family behave so calmly?

Mrs. Abbott cald herself down and asked, "Sumr, did Ryan upset you sohow? Tell , and I’ll certainly reprimand him..."

Sumr Xavier maintained her polite but distant smile, "What are you talking about, Mrs. Abbott? I don’t know Young Master Abbott well, and we’ve only t a few tis. How could he have annoyed ?"

Between the lines, Sumr Xavier distanced herself from Ryan Abbott, making Ryan feel terribly awkward, as if he were desperately trying to warm up to her cold indifference.

He didn’t especially like Sumr Xavier. To protect the woman he loved, he pretended to be friendly to her. Now, given her attitude, he nearly walked away in anger.

Mama Abbott held him back.

Mrs. Abbott said, "Sumr, if Ryan has offended you, I will have him apologize. Don’t let this affect your relationship with ..."

Mrs. Abbott had long seen Sumr as her daughter-in-law and was displeased with Sumr’s attitude.

Was this how a daughter-in-law should treat her mother-in-law?

But rembering Sumr hadn’t married into the family yet, she felt relieved.

If the daughter-in-law is disobedient, it doesn’t matter. Once she’s married, she’ll learn to behave after so discipline.

The present priority is to ensure the Xavier Family agrees to the marriage and hastens Ryan and Sumr’s wedding.

Thus, Mrs. Abbott beca even more enthusiastic, but the Xavier Family’s attitude remained indifferent towards them.

Mrs. Abbott grew increasingly uneasy, unsure of the cause of the problem.

Perhaps the Xavier Family was deliberately giving them a hard ti?

Mrs. Abbott felt increasingly uncomfortable but had to keep a smiling facade.

"Sumr, the first dance is special. If you don’t know how to dance, it doesn’t matter; Ryan will lead you..."

Mrs. Xavier said, "Indeed, this first dance is special, so her brother already promised to take her for the dance."

Though Austin Xavier had a bit of an obsessive personality, he was a good brother to his sister.

At this mont, he walked over with an icy expression and took Sumr Xavier into the dance floor.

Seeing this, Mrs. Abbott could say nothing more and could only keep chatting with Mrs. Xavier, creating a sense that a good event between the two families was imminent.

But unexpectedly, Ryan Abbott’s cousin appeared at this mont.

She was still dressed in white, but slightly loose-fitting, not revealing her pregnancy at first glance.

As she entered the banquet hall, she looked around and finally spotted Ryan, her eyes instantly filled with tears.

She walked up to Ryan, "Ryan..."

Ryan imdiately stood up, "Willa, what are you doing here?"

"I was so scared being at ho alone, so I ca to find you..."

Seeing the woman he loved in such a weak and timid state, Ryan instinctively wanted to comfort her in his arms.

But he quickly realized this wasn’t appropriate for the occasion.

And seeing Willa Sherman show up at the Xavier Family banquet, Mrs. Abbott’s face turned green.

Had this little wench co to ruin things? If the Xavier Family found out about Ryan’s involvent with Willa, would they let the Abbott Family off?

Mrs. Abbott walked over, glanced warningly at Willa Sherman, and quietly told her to leave imdiately.

Ryan pulled Willa behind him, "Mom, Willa is timid. Don’t speak to her like that..."

Mrs. Abbott was livid, "Do you know the significance of this event? Do you know what consequences her presence might cause?"

Mrs. Abbott looked around, "Hurry up and leave! Don’t let the Xavier Family see you!"

Willa Sherman bit her lip, holding back tears, "Auntie, I, I know I shouldn’t have co here, but I just miss Ryan so much. When he’s not with , I’m scared. Don’t worry, I won’t ruin things for Ryan. As long as I can see him from afar, I’m at peace..."

Ryan was moved, "Willa, I’m sorry..."

Seeing the pair about to embrace emotionally, Mrs. Abbott’s face turned all shades of color like a palette.

She pulled Willa Sherman away, glaring at her, "Leave imdiately! Or don’t bla for harming the child in your belly!"

Willa imdiately recoiled, clutching her belly...

"Alright, I’ll leave, I’ll leave..."

She reluctantly looked at Ryan, "Ryan, listen to Auntie. I’ll head ho first..."

Ryan was naturally unwilling.

Just as the two were enacting a scene of tearful parting, Mrs. Xavier and Sumr Xavier walked over.

Mrs. Xavier smiled ironically, "Oh, what a beautiful young lady. Where is she from?"

Mrs. Abbott’s face stiffened, "She’s my niece. Haha, she’s never been to such an event and insisted on coming today. Sorry for the disturbance, Mrs. Xavier..."

"Since she’s Mrs. Abbott’s niece, why leave just after arriving?"

Willa Sherman knew Mrs. Abbott disliked her, even wanting to abort her child, just to have Ryan marry a socially equal Sumr Xavier.

Who would willingly watch the man they love marry another woman?

So Willa looked at Sumr as if seeing a rival.

However, she knew she couldn’t show these emotions; otherwise, Mrs. Abbott would surely not spare her.

For her love and her unborn child, she’s willing to endure temporarily.

Thus, Willa Sherman smiled at Sumr Xavier.

"I’ve heard Ryan talk about his cousin often. Seeing her today, I find she’s even prettier than Ryan said."

She spoke sincerely, but glanced at Ryan while speaking, her eyes full of longing.

"Cousin, it’s my first ti attending such a banquet. Could you accompany for a walk outside?"

Willa Sherman innocently ran over and linked arms with Sumr Xavier, expecting that if Sumr had any interest in marrying Ryan, she would certainly try to win her over.

However, Willa was surprised when Sumr Xavier withdrew her hand and stood behind Mrs. Xavier, her expression remaining indifferent.

Willa Sherman was visibly embarrassed, and her eyes turned red.
