The party started.In the middle of the hall, the lights were colorful. They looked like pearls and diamonds. On the dance floor, the handsome young man and his beautiful partner danced elegantly.Outside the dance floor, Jay drank and mingled with the guest. The way he drank was bold and unruly. He also looked sexy and elegant. His entire body radiated the air of a noble prince. One would be mesmerized by him. Countless socialites were surrounding him. They were wearing expensive dresses and limited edition jewelry. They looked extremely posh.Rose sat at one corner. She looked reserved. Despite her best efforts to hide in the dark, she was dressed too beautiful today. Plus, her temperament stood out in the crowd. She was extremely dazzling like a shiny body in the dark. Occasionally, men would walk over her and invite her enthusiastically. “Miss, can you do me the honor of dancing with me?”Rose would reject all of them. “I’m sorry, I don’t know how.”It was not that she did n
Rose gave Jenson a smile that was radiant and reassuring as if she was telling him, ‘Don't worry about Mommy.’Jenson's nervous expression eased slightly.Rose suddenly stood up. Her eyes were as warm as the sun. With a burning youthful gaze, they swept across all the men there. At last, her eyes fell on John.She swayed toward John, swung her long arm over John's shoulder, and whispered, "Fourth Uncle. , dance with me and someday, I will repay you for your kindness."The reason why she chose John was that only by dancing with a man from the Ares family could she eliminate everyone's slander and attack on her.She did not have the guts to invite Jay. Even if she had the cheek to invite him, he would surely embarrass her by rejecting her in public.Everyone, including Jay, was stunned by Rose's sudden move.Of all the men in the room, she chose John, a womanizer. John was famous in Imperial Capital for his ballroom dancing. Would the clown Rose not embarrass herself by dancing
Jay walked up to Rose and saw several young noblemen around her. They were full of praise for Rose."Miss Loyle is not only beautiful but also dances well. I wonder which university you studied in. It must be one of the top universities in the country, right?"Jay stopped to stare at Rose with a slight frown. As far as he knew, Rose's degree was low-ranked—it was only from an insignificant third-tier university.The man who asked her the question was Nancy's brother, Gale Bell. He was trying to embarrass Rose.Jay was hesitating whether to help Rose or not, but Rose smiled and calmly retorted, "I heard Young Master Bell was also a student with poor grades in high school, making all the teachers have headaches. However, Young Master Bell went abroad to touch up for a few years and came back in high spirits. Young Master Bell and I have the same experience in our studying process. We thought little of our studies here. Only when we went abroad did we realize that the moon in a foreig
"Who's playing hard to get? You're the one who's been taking the initiative, no?" Rose was angry."Is that so? What about six years ago? Who took the initiative to climb into my bed?" Jay's enchanting voice blew on her face with his hot and humid breathing, making her inexplicably uneasy."I was young and foolish. I was blind. My heart was covered with lard, and there was something wrong with me. That's why I made that mistake. If I could go back in time, I wouldn't have made that choice. I would have taken a detour the minute I saw you..." Rose said incoherently.There was frost in Jay's eyes. He straightened his tall, straight body and looked at Rose in contempt. "Remember what you said today, and you better not have any funny ideas about me. Otherwise, I'll make you suffer."Rose drooped her head and murmured, "You're not making me feel any better now.""It'll be worse than it is now." Rose shuddered at Jay's evil voice, which sounded like the devil's death incantation.Rose g
Jay held Rose's hand and walked toward the center of the dance floor.The previously noisy hall place suddenly quieted down. Everyone’s attention was at the center of the dance floor.Rose was like a puppet being manipulated as she trembled and looked at Jay. When the music started, she was still a little shocked and stood unmoving.Jay frowned. He rudely took her into his arms and placed his lips next to her ears. He threatened in a low voice, "Rose, it’s fine if you want to embarrass yourself, but don’t bring me down with you.”Rose snapped out of it quickly. He was a public figure. Every move and word he said was under the microscope of the public. If they embarrassed themselves, he might appear in the news for days.For a man like him who had never lost a day in his life, would it not cost millions for him to lose face?Rose tried to focus. With the familiar music and familiar dance partner, she was able to put herself quickly into the right state of mind.Jay did not expect
That angered Jay even more!Rose returned to her corner. Her heart thumped violently, and it did not settle down even after a long time.It turned out that she could still do the waltz with Jay in this lifetime.The waltz was a dance that required the dancer to turn rhythmically round and round from beginning till the end, repeatedly.Was her fate with Jay the same as the waltz, going round and round?In another dark corner, the envy in Nancy's eyes was like a deep sea, quenching flames.She was Jay's actual girlfriend, but Rose had taken her place that day. She had to make her pay for showing off.Nancy turned around and disappeared into a secluded corner.After some time."Miss Rose!" Suddenly, a gentle voice interrupted Rose's reverie. Rose looked at the beautiful woman who seemed to have appeared in front of her. "What's the matter?""Miss Rose, someone wants to meet you. Please come with me." The woman's attitude was meek and mild.Rose did not know what her agenda was
When Sean opened his hazy eyes, he saw the pure and beautiful Rose. He teased, "Beautiful lady, do you want a taste of me? You know, with your level of beauty, you really didn’t have to go through all this trouble of drugging me. How am I supposed to satisfy you if I’m all weak like this? If you get me the antidote, I can assure you that I’ll give you a good time!” The Bell family's faces looked sour. ‘Rose is Jay's ex-wife. How can Sean try and hook up with her?‘Is he that desperate?’Jay was livid. Not once did he move his gaze away from the big screen. Rose would have been pierced into a sieve if his eyes were flying knives.'She tried the same trick and drugged Sean as well?'Rose looked at Sean as if she was admiring a national treasure. After a while, Rose’s lips curled up into a smirk. "I can tell that you must have done too many wicked things, and someone is trying to get back at you.”Sean's body felt weak, and his eyesight turned blurry. His cheeks started to turn red
"Well, if you want to die a humane death, then I can help you." Rose teased him mischievously.Sean was extremely speechless. "Can you put those impure thoughts away? I was just trying to ask you to pour me a glass of water."Rose was rendered speechless.She got up and poured him a glass of warm water. When she handed it to him, Sean eyed her with great resentment. "My hands are tied. Can you feed me?"Rose stretched out a hand to lift his chin and poured the water into his mouth.Sean choked so hard that tears flowed out of his eyes. He roared, "Are you even a woman? Why are you so rough?"Rose snapped. "You should be thankful that you still have water to drink. Don’t be so demanding."Rose continued to interrogate him. "Think carefully. Who drugged you? Why is she trying to hurt you? I’m the most notorious woman in Imperial Capital, so I’m sure she didn’t send me here to taint your reputation because she wants to find you a kind and virtuous wife, right?"Sean looked at Rose
