Adeline blinked open her eyes and took in the familiar surrounding of her room. Her sleek snow-white hands were draped out across the silk duvet comfortably. Adeline felt a little unsettled and guilty that Alan had a stomachache because of the meal that she picked and treated him the night before. Her intention was to see Alan being embarrassed and made a fool out of himself, but she had never expected him to get so sick. As she sat up, Adeline realized that no one came to assault her the previous night. "Was it because things were hectic recently that God had finally taken pity on her?" Adeline wondered. Adeline cheerfully got out of bed. That day would be a great and wonderful day, as she would not need to meet or see Alan anymore in the future. Thinking about it, a smile appeared on Adeline's face. ...... Chloe was awakened by the sounds of the car honks outside. As she opened her eyes, she saw Culver looking down intently on her, with one hand support
Chloe immediately understood the meaning behind Adeline's words. She then smiled and told Adrian, "Adrian, you can always find Lydia as your dance partner. I'm pretty sure she'll be more than willing." As soon as Chloe spoke, Adeline smiled and told Adrian, "We are going out to choose a gown. You can take your time and find a dance partner for yourself!" Picking up the bag on the table, Adeline pulled Chloe along and headed out of the set. As they walked out, Adrian decided to run after them. The corner of his lips curved a little upwards. "Adele, let me tag along. I might be able to give some really good advice or comments on the gowns that both of you are choosing?" Adrian hurriedly walked to his car and opened the doors for them. Seeing Adrian's attitude, Seth wondered if Adrian woke up at the wrong side of his bed today. Although he knew that Adrian liked Adeline, how could he change completely when he saw her? He was essentially a great actor a
Marvin gave a light nod of acknowledgement to Alan as a greeting. "Marvin, will you be going to the afterparty later?" Adrian asked while looking at him. Marvin gave him a glance and replied, "We'll see how time plays out. I'll leave first." Adrian then walked over and sat down on the sofa. Picking up the cup of coffee, he began sipping on it leisurely. "Adeline, what do you think of this dress?" Chloe asked, holding a short dress before her. Adeline took a few dresses and passed them to Chloe as well. She then said, "Why don't you try these out?" "Is there a need to try on so many?" Chloe asked as she took the dresses from Adeline's hand. Adeline chuckled at her and whispered something into her ear. Chloe's face then stiffened a little, "I don't think that's a good idea." "What's there to worry about? Just hurry and try these on!" Adeline pushed Chloe into the fitting room. Adeline turned and saw the three men sitting down at the
"Miss Simpson, she's Cynthia Fisher, a renowned actress and was voted as the best actress of the year last year." Neil said as he pushed up the eyeglasses that were resting at his nose bridge. "Cynthia Fisher..." "Is she, by chance, Lydia's sister?" Adeline asked. Adeline couldn't think of anyone whom she had offended in the entertainment industry. Thus, she assumed that the only way that could possibly explain Cynthia's curt attitude to her was if Cynthia was, in any way, related to Lydia. Neil scratched his head and answered, "I don't know if they're sisters. I just know that they're really close." "I see, thanks!" Adeline responded. Adeline walked over to where Chloe was and sat down next to her. Then, she saw Chloe's face was flushed red. "Chloe, are you drunk?" Adeline frowned and looked at her. Chloe's face would immediately flush red whenever she drank alcohol. After drinking the punch, though Chloe was still very much sober,
Adeline supported Chloe along the way to Marvin's room with a hotel attendant leading the way for them. The room was modestly opulent and grandiose. Judging from decorations of the room, it could be presumed that it belonged to a meticulous and attentive owner. "Miss Simpson, if there's anything you need, feel free to ring room service!" The hotel attendant bowed slightly, closed the door, and left. Adeline helped Chloe onto the sofa to sit down. She felt guilty and sorry looking at the palm print on Chloe's face. She took out an ice bag and gently placed it on Chloe's cheeks. "Ouchh..." Chloe cried in pain and with tears welling up in her eyes. Adeline felt disheartened. She continued placing the ice bag on Chloe's cheek while wiping off the blood at the corner of Chloe's lips with her other hand. Sniffing her nose, Adeline apologized, "Chloe, I'm sorry. It's all my fault!" "Adeline, it's alright. It has nothing to do with you. I'm glad that t
Adeline walked out of the hotel to the mall next door. She went to the clothing section and picked out a simple dress for Chloe. As she walked with her alluring style, many men turned their heads for a second glance and jealousy was aroused in women who passed by the mall. Adeline headed to the counter with a dress in her hand. Passing it to the cashier, she asked with a smile, "May I know how much is this dress?" The young lady at the cashier glanced at Adeline and said with a look of disdain, "Two hundred dollars!" Then, the cashier muttered to herself, "Why would she bother to come over here when you can afford such a stylish and flashy dress?" Adeline took out two bundles of cash from her purse and handed it over to the cashier. She then took Chloe's dress in her hand and left without sparing a glance to the cashier. "What's the big deal of being rich and pretty? I can look the same and even better if I have the money for plastic surgery," The cashier said
"I was thinking about how you would probably need my help. That's why I came," Adrian said sheepishly. God knew how much he didn't want to stay a minute longer in the party. He couldn't stand the flocks of women that were swarming around him. So, he made up some half-baked excuse to find a reason to head up there. "I think you're lying. You came over because you wanted to be away from all the socializing!" Adeline smiled and exposed his lies. Adrian smiled awkwardly and said, "Oops, you caught me. How did you even see through it in an instant?" "Chloe, it's getting late, we should head back soon. Go and change into your new clothes." Thinking of what Alan had told her just now, Adeline was still a little afraid to be in such a close proximity with him. She figured that it would be best if she kept her distance from him. "Chloe, why do you need to change your clothes again? Didn't my brother send someone over and gave you a new set of clothes? Does
Chloe nodded at Adeline and followed the man into the car. Adeline gave a long glance at the man in front of him. Since unable to avoid him that time, she might as well just face the music. Adeline was pretty sure that Alan would be still nice to her. Adeline got in the car and fastened up her seat belt. She dared not speak. "Culver is abroad for some business now. If you need any help with anything, feel free to give me a call anytime." Saying that, Alan handed her a business card. "Okay..." Adeline extended her hand to take the card and was surprised to see that Alan was the President of the Supreme Group that had taken the world by storm the past two years. It was rumored that the President of the Supreme Group was ruthless when it comes to business. People in the business world dared not to offend him in any way and feared his name. Adeline's hand trembled a little as she held onto the card. She couldn't believe that she was sitting in the legen
