The next day, it was the birthday party of Regina.Although the banquet was just beginning, most of the guests were already there.In the lavishly decorated banquet hall, more than half of the most powerful figures of the city were gathered together under the exquisite crystal chandeliers, clanking and toasting.Today, Regina was dressed in a lilac tube too-long dress with handmade embroidery. The lining of the dress stopped precisely above her ankles and on the outside were layers of soft yarn, sweeping on the ground, giving her an unworldly beauty.Holding a glass of wine, she made her way through the crowd, greeting the guests one by one.Her elegant movements and graceful manners made her exactly like some lady from a noble background.Low bursts of praising words could be heard everywhere.“ Miss Regina is elegant and beautiful. No wonder she is so popular in the entertainment industry.”“ Sure, it’s not just that she is beautiful. She’s also got herself a good fiancé. Not everyo
People began to mutter in low voices, “ Who’s that? She’s so beautiful!!”“ I don’t know. Maybe some guests from the Waals family.”Five years ago, When Priscilla left the Ramos family, she was still a little bit too young to show her beauty. And then she spent more of her time in school so not many people had ever met her.And now she’s right in front of them, and nobody knows her.But at least Regina knew her.At the moment, surrounded by a crowd of guests, she also felt surprised seeing the woman waking in from the door.“is that Priscilla?” Regina asked herself.As far as she could remember, Priscilla was always dressed in her professional attire, and even when she was off work, she just wore some casual clothes.Though she looked neat still, she looked boring and plain. Being around her for a long time, anyone would just think she lacked femininity.Besides, she seldom did made- up, and she was quite careless with her hair. Her black and long hair was always left there naturally,
Mrs. Jolie was stunned, and Rose’s face turned pale.“ What nonsense are you talking about? I didn’t…” Priscilla interrupted her directly, “ Grandma, Ryan, and I are not right for each other and we have already broken up, so there’s no need for you to worry about our affairs anymore.”Mrs. Jolie frowned cast Rose a questioning gaze and said, “ Priscilla, did she tell you to say these words?”Priscilla smiled and didn’t say a word.Rose was instantly furious, “Priscilla! What do you mean by that? When did I ever tell you such words? It was you who insisted on coming over and explaining to Mrs. Jolie, and said it was the only way to get her to forgive you, have you forgotten all that?”Priscilla curled her lips sarcastically, “Oh what did u do to come over and beg my grandma for forgiveness?”At this time, Regina also walked over holding Ryan’s arm.She stood beside Katherine and looked at Priscilla with acknowledgment.“Priscilla, please stop your stubbornness now. Everyone in our fam
Priscilla’s face went pale. She wanted to explain.Rose, however, interrupted her before she could even say anything and said with an apologetic smile, Mrs. Jolie, don’t be angry. She is probably Afraid of being scolded by you. She has always been so stubborn.”Mrs. Jolie waves her hand, with her face full of fatigue. “ Forget it. I have nothing to say about this matter. I’m sorry I messed up your birthday party. I will send someone to make amends someday. Mark, let’s go.”Shameless!So shameless!“Just how could one be so shameless?” Priscilla thought to herself. An uproar was heard in the crowd as people started to mutter about what just happened.“How could she be so shameless to hook up with Shane of the Wilson Group.”“Your lies will be exposed! Just wait and see.” Priscilla said to Rose. Priscilla turned to leave. But just then she suddenly felt weakness in her legs.Rose's cold voice came from behind. “ You are right. Lies will always be exposed someday, but… what if I indeed
“It’s Fredrick Lincoln, the owner of Lincoln Group! The richest man in the country.”The noisy crowd suddenly gave way spontaneously, and all the people looked over in surprise. At the end of the crowd, they saw a slender figure slowly walking in.Priscilla shook as her eyes widened.His steps were quick yet not all hurried, emanating his usual aura of aloof and prohibitive nobility. Above his almond-shaped eyes were his arched eyebrows. His black pupils were like the finest black jade in this world, glowing with a faint cold light. After him were David and a few bodyguards in black, who all stood at the doorway without entering.Only David followed him in and handed the gift they had prepared to the receptionist.“It’s really Frederick Lincoln! Why’s he here?” Someone among the guests murmured, rousing the others back to their senses. Everyone was shocked.Most of the guests who had come today were somewhat powerful and wealthy, and even if they hadn’t seen Fredrick in person, they
The entire Waals family and Shane. Those who were trying to escape were eventually brought under control.The banquet was naturally scattered and the guest was left confused by the incident.Since Fredrick Lincoln was present, however, they did not dare to ask further.They could have all kinds of wild guesses in their mind.He was the owner of the Lincoln Group and controlled the lifeblood of the entire country’s business association.It was no exaggeration to say that, even if he wanted to marry a princess, it would not be difficult.Furthermore, the Lincoln family, along with the Watson family, the Curtis family, and the Rivera family, had always been listed as the four most powerful families in the country. And the marriages in such families have rarely been made by themselves. Most of them were just political marriages.The crowd was just left to think whatever they wanted to.Fredrick didn’t care about these people’s thoughts.Priscilla has been drugged and he knew that the mome
“It’s yellow snake grass they used in the drug. It will paralyze the Vocal cords, but it usually doesn’t last long, and she should be able to talk before long” The doctor replied.Fredrick nodded, and only then did he let David see the doctor out.After they had all left, he walked over to the bed and looked at the woman lying on it.Priscilla was not much quieter, Lying silently under the quilt, motionless, as if she were asleep.Only the small face of her, still flushed with a thin layer of scarlet, had somehow reviewed her pain and endurance.Fredrick looked at it after a while. But he didn’t say anything. Instead, he just turned around and walked away.A few seconds later, the sound of water clattering came from the bathroom.Priscilla opened her eyes in a daze and felt a strong, tall shadow looming towards her. “Let’s go have some cold water for a while, huh?”She looked at him and nodded.Fredrick picked her up from the bed with both of his hands and walked towards the bathroom
Priscilla’s readiness made Frederick somewhat surprised and his mouth immediately split into a smile. “But I have conditions.” She said.“Okay.” He said. “First you cannot tell others about our relationship without my consent.” She said. “Second you cannot touch me without my consent!” she added. The smile under his eyes faded away somewhat, “is there a third?” he asked.Priscilla thought about it for a moment but finally could not think of anything else so shook her head, “No.” After a pause she added, “But I will let you know if I have a third.”Frederick said in a deep voice, “So you just want me to be a monk.”Priscilla was stunned.“Miss Lincoln, I am a normal man if you don't give me your consent, I will have no sex in my life,” Fredrick said. He said as it took a deep step forward to her. Priscilla could only struggle to shrink back in. “I-I didn't mean it like that.” She said. The reason for such conditions was simply that she subconsciously felt that the marriage bet
