Chapter 340: Chapter 340: You’ll Lose Badly

When Jassion spoke, the banquet hall became even quieter.

"It’s all fine now." The Cake Lady shrugged, "This Mrs. Lockwood has saved me from being bullied."

Speaking, the Cake Lady held Evelyn Morgan’s hand, looking at her with fondness and friendliness, "You, you’re so cute and never abuse your power. I liked you the moment I saw you, almost like you’re my own daughter."

Evelyn blinked, still feeling confused.

What kind of situation is this right now?

"I’d also like to announce that from now on, I won’t be collaborating with the Clayton Family." The Cake Lady raised her chin slightly; despite wearing a cake-making outfit, her aura was undeniable.

"Coincidentally, we’re looking for a company to partner with in the country, and I think The Lockwood Family is a great choice."

Listening to the Cake Lady’s words, Caden Lockwood’s gaze on Evelyn Morgan became more gentle, nostalgic, with a hint of light helplessness.

He originally came to negotiate business with Jassion, but the progress wasn’t going very smoothly.

That girl Evelyn, she really turned misfortune into fortune, so easily resolving a contract he planned to spend a month cracking.

Heaven truly favors her!

Unbeknownst to them, the banquet host, Hannah Clayton and Mr. Clayton, could no longer stay.

However, their losses were quite severe now!

At the banquet, both The Lockwood Family and Jassion had clearly stated they would no longer have business dealings with the Clayton Family; other companies would surely follow suit, and not dare to get too close to the Clayton Family.

The Cake Lady looked at Hannah Clayton coldly, "Clean up the floor, and you and your father can leave first. Remember, ’No money for doing things, money for being human’—keep this lesson in mind. Otherwise, once you are free from your parents, you’ll lose even more badly."

Mr. Clayton apologized repeatedly, took Hannah to clean up the cake on the ground, and left shamefully.

Evelyn finally snapped out of it, looking at the Cake Lady, and softly asked, "You’re... not just a cake maker?"

"I am!" The Cake Lady laughed, "I really love making cakes. It’s just that I’m also Jassion’s wife."

Evelyn was still muddled.

How would she know who Jassion is?

Seeing Evelyn having such an engaging chat with Jassion’s wife, everyone’s eyes were full of envy, while Shannon Dunn looked very displeased.

She had prepared in advance—to try hard to curry favor and please when Jassion’s wife appeared.

But now, she didn’t need to do anything.

She... was a step too late.

The incident with the Clayton father and daughter was just a minor anecdote, and once it passed, it was past.

And because Susan Stone, Jassion’s wife, particularly liked Evelyn Morgan, Jassion also expressed willingness to continue business talks with Caden Lockwood.

Throughout the entire banquet, Evelyn Morgan could barely stay beside Caden Lockwood for more than five minutes.

Susan Stone took her around to meet everyone one by one.

Evelyn walked until her legs were sore, the high heels were comfortable to wear, but for someone used to flats, they were still a torture and challenge.

Finally, when the banquet was over and after saying goodbye to Susan Stone, she squeezed her slender waist, just sighed deeply, and before she could complain about being tired, Caden Lockwood suddenly appeared and picked her up, placing her on the nearby sofa.

"Mrs. Lockwood, you’ve worked hard." Caden Lockwood’s voice carried a complexity that Evelyn couldn’t understand.

She looked back and forth at him, wondering if he’d be angry that she had a falling out with Hannah Clayton.

After all, that matter seemed resolved, but surely there were still conflicts, right?

He might be supporting her verbally, but in his heart?

"Next time, better not bring Mrs. Lockwood to attend such banquets." Caden Lockwood’s voice was very light, in a soft murmur, "Seeing Mrs. Lockwood walking in high heels, worried all the time that you’d trip, and worried you’d be walking in pain, wanting you to sit and rest, yet unable to interrupt your making friends."
