Chapter 88 Layla
The chaos in the Solace family caused quite a stir on the internet.
Even though they kept a low profile, the Solace family was still a prominent household in Juxshire and the rest of the country.
More importantly, netizens were always drawn to gossip about upper class society.
It was rumored online that the bride was actually in love with someone other than Christopher and that she was only forced to marry Christopher because he had set his eyes on her. However, she could not resist her true love in the end, so she eloped with her secret lover on her wedding day.
There were also rumors online that Christopher and his runaway bride were childhood friends. They were supposedly betrothed to one another, but unfortunately, Christopher turned out to be a playboy who had other women on the side. When his mistress reportedly showed up on their wedding day and caused a scene, the bride ran away in anger.
While there were other rumors flying around, these two were the ones that spread like wildfire.
Yuliana browsed through a few of these conjectures before exiting Twitter.
The Solace family’s wedding scandal was yesterday’s news, but it appeared to have just caught fire online. That being said, Christopher was still an ordinary person, not a celebrity. Surely the public will lose interest in
him soon.
However, the Solace family was still humiliated by the wedding scandal, making them the laughingstock in upper-class society.
Yuliana put away her phone and checked the time. Her class was in five minutes. She picked up the tools she would need for her lesson, but her phone rang just as she was about to leave for her classroom.
She glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was an unknown number.
She answered the call. With one hand full of her classroom essentials and the other gripping her phone, she left the office and headed toward the classroom. “Hello, who’s this?”
The person on the other line greeted, “Hello, Ms. Livingstone! I’m Layla, Christopher’s sister.”
Yuliana stopped in her tracks and fell silent for a moment. Then, she asked, “Ms. Solace, what can I do for you?”
Layla paused before saying tentatively, “I actually do need to talk to you, Ms. Livingstone, and I think it’s better if we meet in person. When will you be free?”
Although Layla did not reveal anything. Yuliana could already guess what the former wanted to discuss.
The Solace family probably reached out to her because they found out she was pregnant. This must have something to do with the child she was carrying.
In fact, she was willing to bet that Christopher and Annabelle’s wedding had only fallen through because of this pregnancy.
She wondered what the Solace family was planning to achieve by reaching out to her now.
Yuliana suddenly grew nervous at this thought. “Would the Solace family, as prolific as they are, allow me to keep the baby?” she wondered frantically.
Even if she were allowed to keep the baby, the Solace family would lay claim to the child as soon as he was born.
Yuliana took a deep breath and asked, “How about we meet this evening?”
“Perfect,” Layla replied. “You get off work at six o’clock, right?”
Yuliana hummed lightly.
“Well, then, I’ll arrange a driver to pick you up at the school gates,” Layla said.
“Okay,”
Yuliana felt like she was in a trance when the phone call ended. It was only when she heard the school bell ring that she returned to her senses and continued her way to the classroom.
Yuliana came out of the school gates at six o’clock that evening and saw a black Mercedes-Benz idling by the
roadside.
When the driver caught sight of her, he immediately got out of the car and opened the door for her, saying, “Please get in the car, Ms. Livingstone.”
Yuliana thanked him perfunctorily and lowered herself to get into the vehicle.
The car began to pull away and finally stopped in front of a private residence.
As the car pulled into the driveway, Yuliana looked around and found the words “the Solace residence” engraved on a plaque outside the house.
The driver got out of the car and opened the door for Yuliana. “Ms. Livingstone, we’ve arrived.”
