Chapter 723 The Idol of Middle-Aged Women As Benjamin stepped onto the platform, the sound of Alondraâs melodious operetta reached his ears.
She sang âAdeleâs Laughing Songâ from âDie Fledermaus.â It suddenly dawned on Benjamin that Emmeline had mentioned her stepmotherâs background in the Opera troupe, which explained why Alondra was so talented in performing operetta. It explained how Maxwell was attracted to her singing skills and figure, and they started dating. Benjamin now suspected that she was using her skills to captivate Waylon. Concealed behind some flowers, Benjamin peeked out to watch the performance.
Alondraâs performance did not captivate Waylon, but it appeared to intimidate him. At that moment, Waylon seemed like a helpless person confronted with a demon, unable to flee or evade its. grasp. He blocked Alondraâs hand from touching his face, feeling like his head was about to explode.
âMr. Waylon,â Alondra leaned over and twisted her body, âjust tell me, do I have a beautiful figure and a good singing voice?â
âYour figure is beautiful as well as your singing!â Waylon impatiently raised his arm to block his face and said. âYouâve finished singing and dancing. Please leave now!â
âBut you havenât agreed to my invitation yet,â She fluttered her fake eyelashes, âIâve already booked a private room at the hotel, where the food is among the best in the Struyria! Mr. Waylon, wouldnât it be a pity if you didnât try it?
âIâve already thanked Mrs. Louise for your kindness,â Waylon hid behind a flowering branch. Iâm not interested in good food or beautiful things. Please invite someone else; I wonât go and spoil your fun.â
Alondra pouted her flameâred lips and said, âBut itâs only fun with you. Iâve already planned it out.
During the meal, Iâll take a video of us eating together and share it on the wealthy ladiesâ group chat.
Everyone will envy me, wonât they?â
Waylon was left speechless. So, she only invited him to lunch to take a video and show off to her wealthy friends? It seemed that he was still the object of admiration for middleâaged women.
âAnd then thereâs Mrs. Griffin and Mrs. Lewis. They always act so superior! If they see me eating and taking videos with a young man as distinguished and wealthy as you, theyâll surely start respecting me and wonât dare to bully me anymore!â Alondra kept pleading. âMr. Waylon, please help me! Please!â
Waylon wiped the sweat off his forehead. It was the first time in his life that he felt useful! Waylon could raise the value of middleâaged women just by his presence! However, that wasnât what he wanted. At this moment, all he wanted was for her to leave him alone so he could have some peace.
Upon witnessing this scene, Benjamin immediately messaged Ethan to bring his wife, Grace to the platform as soon as possible. Without delay, Ethan and Grace arrived and were motioned by Benjamin to hide quietly in the bushes with him. Meanwhile, Alondra continued her passionate performance for Waylon, her singing so mesmerizing that Ethan couldnât help but cover his forehead and exclaim.
âThank goodness sheâs not my biological mother, or Iâd have to jump off a building!â
Grace whispered to Benjamin, âWhy did you ask me to come here to stop my motherâinâlaw from seducing men? What can I even do?â
Benjamin responded, âCanât you see that weâre all men here? If anything happens, weâll be the ones to blame.â
Ethan chimed in, âExactly. We wonât be able to clear our names if things go south. What if Alondra starts clinging onto Mr. Waylon?â
Grace let out a sigh, âSo what do we do now? Just stand here and watch the show?â
