Chapter 22 The Cocktail Party (Part 2)

Author: Ann1
"Miss Simpson, don't you like it?" Mabel asked and looked at Adeline dubiously. The young ladies who frequented her shop usually would complain about the gown not being revealing enough.

Adeline was embarrassed to look at Mabel for that. Even though these gowns were beautiful, they weren't how she liked them.

Meanwhile, Mabel was in a dilemma. These dresses were the best in their shop. Besides, they were designed by renowned designers, and many of them were one of the kind. If Adeline didn't like any of them, Mabel had no idea where else she could get one that suited her tastes.

Just when Mabel was thinking about other alternatives, a staff came up to Mabel with a package in her hand, "This is for Miss Simpson."

"Miss Simpson, your parcel," Mabel informed accordingly and handed it to Adeline with both hands.

"For me?" Adeline echoed back in doubt as she reached out to take it. She then put it on the table and began to unwrap it.

    Adeline looked up blankly at the handsome man in front of her. Culver's tall figure loomed over Adeline, effectively blocking her means of escape. There was a faint smile on his sculpted face, and his eyes were a blue that resembled sapphire. They were so deep, almost deep enough to swim in. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Lester," Adeline put on an awkward smile. "Miss Simpson, it seems that you haven't been enjoying yourself here," Culver stated as he swept a quick gaze across the party before turning to Adeline. Adeline looked at him and replied with a faint smile, "No, it's nothing. It's just that I've been standing around for quite some time now, so my legs felt a bit sore. I was just resting." Culver only nodded in acknowledgment after hearing Adeline's words. His gaze still unwaveringly fixed on her.  He thought Adeline looked stunningly attractive. Her skin was fair enough to resemble snow, and it glowed prettily under the lights too. It was difficult to ke

    Adeline didn't know how long she had been crying. It wasn't until a long while later when she realized that her head was still leaning on Sandrino's shoulder after she had calmed down. She quickly sat up straight and apologized, "I'm sorry, I soiled your clothes." Seeing that Adeline's mood seemed to have gotten better, Sandrino knew that she had temporarily gotten over her sadness. He then smirked at her and teased, "It's alright. Just heed my words next time, then we'll be even." Adeline glared at him at that and then turned to look out, ignoring him.   Seeing that she was angry, Sandrino curled his lips and said, "Hey, come on. You can't ignore me right after I've lent you a shoulder to cry on." Adeline continued to look outside, persistent in turning a blind eye to him.  Not long after, Sandrino had managed to drive them back to the villa. Once the car was parked, Adeline got out of it and saw that the lights were still on in the living room. Her heart

    The afternoon sunlight was warm as oil, sweet as childhood. It embraced everything on the earth, providing strength to them. Adeline had someone drive her to the city center. Since she didn't want to flaunt herself where everyone could see, she asked the driver to drop her off a few streets away from her destination where it was less populated. It wasn't too far from the bookstore, so she decided to take her time and strolled around to relax.  As she approached the busiest part of the city, Adeline thought of the days she had spent with Evelyn. The corner of her mouth lifted into a sweet smile as she recalled.  "Miss Simpson!" Someone called out.  Ethan walked up to Adeline with a faint smile and continued, "It's really you! Gosh, I didn't think I'd see you around here!" Adeline looked at Ethan in surprise before smiling back and said, "Dr. Gardner, what a coincidence!" "Indeed. Where are you headed?" "I'm going to the bookstore. I'm plan

    Helen glared at Adeline coldly. With a snort, she turned around and stomped upstairs. Adeline wasn't bothered by Helen's attitude. She only turned to Ronald and saw the pain in his eyes. She sat down next to him and softly consoled, "Dad, don't be upset. One day, she'll understand that what you're doing now is for her own good." Her words of reassurance managed to comfort Ronald. She stayed for a little longer before she excused herself to head back to the Lockwood mansion. ...... "Adeline, you're back!" Vallerie exclaimed in glee when she saw Adeline. Adeline, also with a bright smile, greeted her in return, "Grandma!" Vallerie looked at her adoringly and said, "You're going back to school tomorrow, aren't you? Do you have everything ready? If not, just buy whatever it is that you need. Did Nicholas give you your pocket money today?" Seeing the look of concern on Vallerie's face, Adeline's heart was swollen with joy. Although Christiano couldn

    Adeline woke up to the crisp ringing of her alarm. She noticed that two of the buttons on her pajamas were undone, and she wondered if she had suddenly developed a habit of unbuttoning her clothes in her sleep. Blushing, she thought of her dream from the night before. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she was on the verge of losing her mind. Shaking her head to clear her thoughts, Adeline then got out of her bed, washed up, and got ready for school. After that, Adeline went to eat breakfast in the dining room. A short while later, Sandrino walked down the stairs. "Adeline, are you going to school today?" Sandrino asked. "Yes, I am," Adeline answered as she finished the last bit of cereal in her bowl. Then, she got up, took her bag, and left for her classes. Right as she had left the room, George came out of the kitchen, and he noticed that Adeline had already left. He looked over to Sandrino and asked politely, "Mr. Sandrino, there are

    "Adeline, who is he? He's so handsome!" Chloe asked with stars in her eyes.  "He's a friend of mine," Adeline answered. Then, she navigated through the crowd and headed towards Ethan with Chloe behind her. "Ethan, what are you doing here? Are you waiting for a friend?" Adeline smiled and asked. "Yes, I'm waiting for you," Ethan answered with a wide grin. Hearing that, Adeline nodded and pulled Chloe over to introduce her, "This is Chloe Lawson, a good friend of mine." "Chloe, this is my friend, Ethan Gardner." "Hello, Miss Lawson," Ethan greeted.  "Hello, Mr. Gardner," Chloe replied nervously. Noticing Chloe's jumpiness, Adeline held onto her arm and pulled her close as she whispered, "Chloe, you're too nervous." Chloe blushed in embarrassment at Adeline's comment. Briskly, she said, "Adeline, I just remembered that I have to be at another place now. I have to go. Bye!" With that, she disappeared into the crowd. Adeline turned

    "Of course, Mom," Adeline replied impassively. "Alright then. You'd better get to bed early," Martha said before standing up and headed upstairs. "Sure, Mom. Good night." After that, Adeline slumped on the couch, thinking about what she had gotten herself into. As usual, Adeline laid on her bed and prepared herself to sleep after her shower. As soon as she dozed off, she felt someone climb into her bed, and a pair of hands caressed her from head to toe repeatedly. However, when she woke up the next day, she looked around to find herself alone in her room once more. For the next four or five consecutive days, Adeline had the same dream. She had no idea why this was happening to her. These dreams were too realistic to be a figment of her imagination. If she was indeed dreaming, it wouldn't explain how her pajamas were tempered when she woke up the next morning. ...... "Sebastian, didn't you mention something about our engagement party? It's

    Adeline really couldn't understand Yvette. Just a day before, Yvette was unhappy about the fact that she had married Christiano. Yet, for some reason, Yvette came to threaten her to back off from Ethan now. At such an age, she couldn't possibly still think of herself as a princess who would charm every prince that crossed her path. Adeline scoffed, "Why should I? Who are you to him?" Yvette was triggered at Adeline's comeback, and she sneered in reply, "You're shameless, Adeline. You're married to Lockwood's son. But you still wanted to seduce Ethan, don't you? Have you thought of the Lockwoods when you do that?" "Yvette, when and where did you see me doing such a thing? I only went to have dinner together with Ethan. If you think that is alluring... That speaks a lot of you!" Adeline lifted her brows and said with an exaggerated expression. Yvette fumed with anger. After some time, she taunted, "To explain is to veil, Adeline. Although you're married to Christi

    "Xiaowan..." Christiano yelled at the top of the mountain. His sorrowful voice lingered around the valley for a long time... A year later... The Lockwood family in Caulford City was the wedding day of Sandrino and Gu Xiaobei's wedding. Almost all the influential people in the business world were present. The wedding was very lively. When Gu Xiaobei heard that her big belly was slowly showing up, Sandrino hurriedly went up to her and said, "Didn't I tell you to stay in your room? Why did you come out?" "Is it really boring to stay in the room? Besides, it's my wedding today. As a bride, of course, I should come out and have a look!" Looking at Gu Xiaobei, who was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, Lu Yangzhe's face was full of helplessness and love. A year ago, the trap of the Huya Mountain was destroyed. Adeline, Bai Qian'er, and Alice were all missing. Lu Yang was seriously ill. Bai Ye and all of Kaiser's followers were a

    "What's wrong with you?" Seeing that no one was talking, Gu Xiaobei just looked at her stupidly. "Adele, your president is..." "It's my dad!" Before Bai Ziqi could finish her words, she was caught by Gu Xiaobei. "The reason why Brother Lu's case can be found out so quickly is also because of you?" "Not entirely. I just mentioned it to my father when I went back, but he said that it was a matter of your country. Because it didn't involve other countries, he couldn't show up. Just when I didn't know what to do, I suddenly sent an email, which was full of crimes committed by Queen Yea over the years. Because the crime committed by Queen Yea has seriously affected many countries, my father asked people to investigate it. What followed is what you saw." Gu Xiaobei's words were very relaxed. Bai Zixi sighed and said, "No wonder. I was wondering why the U.S. was so straightforward this time. It turned out that there was someone behind it." As he

    Nan Xin looked at Xiaodong carefully and found that he was not uncomfortable, so he stopped asking. At this time, Adeline woke up. "What's wrong with me?" "You fainted just now. Maybe it's because of the poison barrier here. But now you have taken the herbs that specialize in treating the poison barrier. It's all right." "Sorry to have caused you so much trouble." As he struggled, Adeline saw Bai Ye and the European Emperor confronting each other with guns. "Bai Ye, you actually dared to secretly bring Su and the others here behind Queen Kaiser's back. Are you trying to steal those treasures for yourself?" Bai Ye sneered and looked at the Ou Emperor, saying, "Emperor Ou, since you found out, I'm not afraid of you knowing. What can you do to me if I want to monopolize those treasures, or are you willing to be a dog around her?" "Bai Ye, Queen Kaiser treats you well. Don't you think you're ungrateful?" Hearing this, Bai Ye laughed out loud.

    Early the next morning, Adeline and the others were woken up by the sound of gunshots. "What happened?" Alice opened the zipper of the tent and walked out. They saw that their tent had already been surrounded by Bai Ye's men. Soon, they knew what was going on. However, soon after, the gunshots came to an abrupt end. Adeline didn't seem to mind at all, only tightly holding Little Dong in his arms. "It seems that some people can't wait to start." "Xiaowan, do you think Ling Yu and Tang Qi will be discovered by them?" There was a strong smell of blood in the air. Luo Luo said with some fear. Compared with Alice, he was calmer. He comforted her and said, "Don't worry. Since they know our purpose, they won't act on their own." "Luoluo, you have to trust Ling Yu." "Yes." At this time, Xie San's voice came from outside the tent. "Xiaowan, get ready. It's time to go." Xie San's voice was low and deep, very pleasant to listen to.

    "Since he is leading the way, let's take him with us!" Adeline pulled the child to his side and glared at the two men with an ugly expression. "Then I'll have to trouble you, Miss Simpson." "Time to go!" Looking at their backs, the man next to Bai Ye said unhappily, "Why is Old Master so partial to her?" "Whether we can find the treasure or not depends on them. Let's follow them for the time being." How could someone who had accomplished great things care about these trivial matters? "Sister, I want to go home." As soon as the little boy got rid of the men's hands, he cried loudly. Adeline knew that Bai Ye would never agree to let him go. The reason why she took him to her side was that she hoped that she could take more care of him along the way. "I'm sorry, little brother. This sister helped you temporarily, because she was caught by them just like you." "Don't worry. Staying with us is better than staying with those p

    Taoping Town was an ancient town. It was surrounded by mountains and beautiful scenery. Perhaps because of the natural environment, all the people here lived a particularly happy life. Young people would go out to adventure, and some old people would stay in the estate left by the ancestors of the guardian. Perhaps it was because of the special environment here, and there were often grave robbers here. However, the appearance of so many people this time made the people of Tanping Town a little scared. Everyone would stand at the door of their own houses and look at those people. "Grandpa, what are these people doing here?" A little boy looked up at the old man standing beside him and asked in a low voice. "No matter what they are doing, it has nothing to do with us anyway. Let's go inside." "Are they here for the baby tiger?" As soon as he finished speaking, the old man covered his mouth in a hurry, and his face changed slightly. He scolded angrily,

    Three days later, Adeline followed Bai Ye to Yaoping Town, but he didn't see Bai Lang. At this time, Tang Qi and the others, who had been waiting for Adeline in Tanping Town, had already received the news that Adeline had come in. "What should we do now?" After confirming the location of Adeline's residence, Tang Qi and the others gathered together to discuss how to rescue him. Suddenly, an uninvited guest came from outside the door. "Seventh Young Master, long time no see?" She walked in slowly with graceful steps and greeted Tang Qi with a faint smile. "Rumor has it that Young Master Rong isn't feeling well all year round and has been resting at home. I wonder what brought you here?" "Of course it's you." Hearing this, Tang Qi suddenly smiled. Two people came forward and hugged each other tightly, causing everyone present to be stunned. Especially Tang Qi, an inexplicable anger came from the bottom of her heart. She stepped forwar

    "In the past few days, you might be able to appease the employees of the company. You don't need to keep those who want to resign too much. What our Lu Enterprises needs is people who can fight to the death with the company, not people who run away when they are in trouble." "But big brother, there have been too many things happening in the past two years. If we do this again, won't it cause public disgust?" "In the end, Lu Yangzhe was still a little worried. After all, the power of public opinion is too great. It's okay for the country to be affected, but it'll be more difficult for foreign subsidiary companies and famous brands to rise again once they are seriously injured." "You have to remember that the reputation of a company is very important, but his quality is even more important. If everyone only likes this brand instead of the quality of our product, then it doesn't matter if you don't want such a customer." He, Christiano, wanted to do the best work.

    "Baby, can you understand the English on it?" Xu Lu came forward and asked, looking at the number that was quickly rolling on the screen. "Auntie, you don't know yet, do you? Zi Yao has the ability to see all kinds of things, and his English is better than mine." Jiaqi, who was standing by the side, seemed to have forgotten the unhappiness she had just had. She saw Lu Ziyan sitting in front of the computer table, looking particularly handsome. Her beautiful eyes were full of pride. It was as if she was the only one who had done it. "Do you all know each other?" Obviously, Bai Ziqi's words shocked both Bai Ziqi and Xu Ran so much that they couldn't even say a word. Was this still a three-year-old child? Why did they have a feeling that the sky was about to change? After making sure that Lu Ziming was fine, Bai Ziqi and Xu Lulu left the room, ready to inquire about Christiano's situation.
