Hypnotizing Love novel Chapter 220

"Did they slander Miss Gardner? I think we need more evidence to draw a conclusion. Right?" Suddenly, Mrs. Furnham loosened her husband's arm, stepped forward, and said with a smile to everyone.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Makenna's heart skipped a beat when she saw the smile on Mrs. Furnham's face. She had a bad hunch about it and her body tensed up.

Jared noticed Makenna's change and lowered his head to ask her, "What's wrong?"

"I... I'm fine." Makenna forced a smile and replied, "It's just… It hurts. Jared, can you take me to see a doctor?"

Her instinct told her she had to leave this place immediately. Otherwise, things would soon get out of her control.

Jared subconsciously wanted to say that they would go after this matter was settled.

However, when he saw Makenna's pleading eyes, Jared finally nodded in agreement.

He held Makenna's body and turned to leave.

Amber's eyes narrowed as she called out to them, "Stop right there. We haven't figured everything out yet. Why are you leaving?"

"That's right. Amber was regarded as the culprit, but she's still standing here. Why are you running away? Feeling guilty now?" Cole also said.

Hayden and Jeremy nodded.

There was a hint of sarcasm in Mrs. Furnham's eyes.

"We aren't running away." Makenna turned around with red eyes and said in an aggrieved voice, "I just feel my body aching so I want to see a doctor. Jared can testify."

Jared nodded slightly to show that it was true. "We will come back after we see the doctor."

"Who knows how long it'll take for you to come back?" Jeremy crossed his arms.

"Yes, you don't have to go to see a doctor yourself. What if your injury becomes worse? You'd better call the doctor over here. Mrs. Furnham, what do you think?" Hayden looked at Mrs. Furnham.

Mrs. Furnham nodded. "Of course."

As Mrs. Furnham spoke, she beckoned a waiter and asked him to call a doctor.

Makenna didn't even have time to stop them. She could only watch helplessly as the waiter walked away. She was exasperated.

She knew it.

These people were attacking her and deliberately making things difficult for her!

"Miss Gardner, you don't look so well. Is it because you are not happy that we have called a doctor for you? We are doing this for your own good. Not only are you not grateful, but you are also upset. That's not nice." Cole sized Makenna up and down and tsked.

The others echoed. "Yeah, exactly..."

"No..." Makenna was furious.

Jared patted her on the shoulder and said, "Well, Makenna, they are right. You shouldn't be angry."

"I..." Makenna's body trembled.

She was angry that these people had stopped her from leaving!

However, Makenna couldn't say that out loud. She could only suppress her anger and stop talking.

Soon, the doctor came.

Under everyone's gaze, Makenna didn't dare refuse. She could only let the doctor examine her.

After a while, the doctor said, "This lady is fine. It's just some scratches on her arm. A Band-Aid would do."

"I see. See the doctor out." Mrs. Furnham said to the waiter who brought the doctor here.

After the waiter and the doctor left, Amber said, "All right, the farce is over. Since Miss Gardner is fine, let's continue to deal with what happened just now. We should find out how Miss Gardner fell down as soon as possible."

"Humph, no matter what you say, you can't get away with it." Chloe pointed at Amber.

Jared scowled at Chloe, and a trace of disgust rose in his heart.

For some reason, he didn't like these people who accused Amber.

Trenton also said, "Chloe is right, so there is nothing to say about this matter. Mrs. Furnham, she came here because of your invitations. But for such an immoral soul, I think it's better for you to drive her away, in case this banquet is ruined."

Jared frowned, "Uncle, we haven't gotten to the truth yet."

"The truth? Chloe said it so clearly, and so many people present saw it. Jared, are you defending your ex-wife?" Trenton was shocked.

Makenna sobbed even more sadly.

Jared was irritated. He pulled his tie and replied in a low voice, "I'm not defending anyone. So what if she saw it? Where is the evidence?"

Amber looked at Jared in surprise. He was actually being impartial now.

This was not like him. He had always trusted Makenna for no reasons, if she remembered it correctly?

"Jared, I think you're protecting your ex-wife." Trenton turned to Amber and said in a voice dripping with sarcasm, "I didn't expect you to hook up with men so well. The men around you are not enough. Even your ex-husband..."

"What the hell did you say?" Cole was blown up. He clenched his fists and was about to rush forward.

"Cole, stop!" Amber shouted at him.

Hayden stepped forward and grabbed Cole. "Well, Cole, don't mess around. I know you're angry. I'm mad too, but you can't hit him. We didn't see how Makenna fell. But once you hit someone, everyone here will see it. It'll be real trouble then."

Although Jeremy felt a little regretful that Cole had not beaten Trenton, he had decided that he would teach Trenton a lesson when he went back.

Trenton didn't know that he had been targeted. He took a step back with start, and then pointed at Cole, "How dare you attack me? Mrs. Furnham, I suppose you'd better do a few more screening before inviting people here."

Mrs. Furnham smiled, "You're right. It's my fault to invite someone who shouldn't be here."

All of a sudden, Mrs. Furnham's face became serious. She spoke up, "Show Mr. Gardner and his daughter out!"

The crowd gaped at her.

"It's not Amber?" "Why did she drive Mr. Gardner and his daughter out?"

Even Amber and the others were very confused.

They thought they would be the ones driven away.

Jared looked at Mrs. Furnham and seemed to have understood something. He rubbed his eyebrows tiredly and let go of Makenna's hand.

"Makenna, I'm very disappointed!" He suddenly said.

"Jared..." Makenna panicked and wanted to catch Jared's sleeve, but he dodged.

Makenna's heart sank.

Her intuition was right. There was something wrong with Mrs. Furnham's smile at that time.

As expected, the current situation had completely gotten out of her control.

Trenton looked like he had swallowed a cockroach. "Mrs. Furnham, are you kidding?"

"Of course not." Mrs. Furnham turned to him with a smile.

Trenton's dry lips twitched a few times. "Excuse me, we are clearly victims, but you want to drive us away. If you don't give us a reason, I have every reason to believe that you're going against us deliberately. In that case, the Furnham family will be our enemy from now on."

"Mr. Gardner, are you threatening me?" Mrs. Furnham asked with a fake smile.

"No. But I think it's unfair to me."

"Don't worry. I've always been fair. There are reasons, of course. First, it's because of your daughter." Mrs. Furnham darted her gaze at Makenna.
