Yvette was the daughter of Melanie’s father’s cousin. However, she lost her father in her early years and was fostered by Melanie’s parents. Thus, she grew up with Melanie.She and Melanie were polar opposites. One was quiet and the other was extroverted and passionate.Because Melanie was well-protected, she rarely attended banquets.Yvette, on the other hand, had left the country a long time ago and only returned this year.As soon as she said her name, everyone figured out who she was.However, after she finished introducing herself, she did not bother making small talk with the others. Instead, her intentions were obvious, and she leaned closer to Galen. “Hello, what’s your name? I’ve never seen you before!”Galen frowned slightly. He was a little repulsed, but he still replied politely, “Miss Yvette, you’re too close.”Yvette stopped less than a few centimeters away from him and smiled. “Are you shy? Tell me your name and give me your number, and I’ll stay away from you. Ho
Apollo’s words unintentionally hit Lily’s sore spot. She turned to glare at him angrily. “What do you mean? What’s wrong with women like her? She’s boldly expressing herself. What do you have against her?”Apollo was confused.He was trying to console her.Why did it backfire?!Apollo shut up, and the air fell into a strange silence.Everyone at the table ate in silence. Even the chattiest Serenity and Dulcie did not say anything. They even glanced over from time to time.They were afraid that something would happen.Reality proved that it was indeed impossible to be on guard to fend off a sudden attack.Lily had been very vigilant at this banquet. She had been avoiding alcohol all this time.However, she was inexplicably agitated. She forgot to stay vigilant and downed two glasses of champagne in a row.BANG!The wine glass was slammed heavily on the table, and she said in confusion, “No! Is there something wrong with Galen?”Ruth, who was sitting closest to her, answe
Yvette had said, “You like her, right? But she doesn’t like you! A woman can always see through another woman. There’s no admiration or love in her eyes when she looks at you. She was not jealous when she saw you leaving with me.”When Galen heard this, he did not believe it.He had seen with his own eyes the way Lily looked at him.However, facing Lily at this moment, he was no longer as certain.The conversation in the car from last time popped up in Lily’s mind again. She said, “That’s fine. I won’t pester you anymore. It’ll be relaxing!”There was a beat of silence.“Why are you looking at me like that? It’s fine if you don’t want to tell the truth. Anyway, it can’t be that she’s prettier than me!”Lily kept talking.It was as if she did not want to hear an answer.For some reason, Galen blurted out, “I never said that I didn’t like you.”The air froze for a moment.Everyone else looked at each other in surprise.Was this a vague confession?Demi was the most shocked.
Lily washed her face and felt her mind clearing up a little. She stared at her face in the mirror.Although her face was not exquisite in the traditional sense, she was still cute, right?Her makeup was a little smudged, but she could tell that her skin was very smooth. It was plump and healthy.She was as pretty as Yvette, right?Was her voice the problem? Did she not sound as cute as Yvette?She admitted that she was very good at acting cute, but when she heard Yvette speak, she still admitted defeat.She was upset!Thinking about how Yvette and Galen had been together the entire evening and how they seemingly got along, she tilted her head and pondered. Was this the chemistry thing that Ruth had talked about?Did the two of them have a lot of chemistry with each other?She shook her head.She did not want to think about it anymore.It was none of her business.As soon as she walked out, she saw a figure standing in front of her. She was so frightened that she took two
Lily thought about how Galen had volunteered to give her a ride just now, and then she suddenly remembered that Ruth had told her some time ago that Abel had thrown her under the bus.Wait.Was Abel trying to give her and Galen some time alone?It was no wonder that he took the initiative to send her off today!The corners of her lips twitched. “Alright, let’s go too. I’ll send Ruth a message later.”As for Galen, he would be able to chat with Yvette more easily after she left, right?Aquilo looked at her, and a hint of coldness flashed across his deep eyes.Then, he quickly followed her and brought her to the nearest elevator downstairs.His Lamborghini started, and the roaring engine resounded in the quiet garage below. Then, it swept up a layer of dust and quickly drove out of the garage.Lily, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, felt her ears hurt from the noise. She turned and glanced at Aquilo impatiently. “Can you stop acting cool?”He would always look like a
As Lily scrolled down, she saw that Galen had sent several messages asking her where she had gone, saying that he would wait for her in the banquet hall.However, they were the only car on the road.He probably thought that she had left. Or perhaps, Aquilo had told him that he was taking her back home and that he no longer had to wait.Thus, Galen would have left, right?Lily typed in a reply to him before opening her chat with Ruth to explain the current situation.However, her fingers froze.There was a red exclamation mark on her message.It could not be sent.Her fingers subconsciously tightened. It was also at this moment that she realized that Aquilo had planned this out.“Don’t waste your energy. There’s a signal jammer in the car. Your message can’t be sent!” Aquilo’s cold voice reminded her.Lily put away her phone and turned to look at him. “Alright, then tell me, what makes you so afraid of me? What do you want to do now? Do you think that by kidnapping me, my cous
Aquilo’s heart skipped a beat, and he immediately felt that something was wrong.But it was too late.Lily grabbed the steering wheel and turned it to the left, crashing straight into the railing by the road.The car was not going fast enough for them to die even if they did crash. Regardless, if anyone were to die, it would be Aquilo.Before Lily attacked, she had already figured this out, so she did not hesitate.Aquilo’s adaptability was not bad. He grabbed the steering wheel tightly and tried his best to steer the car back to the road. The car’s tires screeched.“You’re crazy!”Aquilo raised his voice.Lily tightened her grip and said in an unbelievably calm voice, “That’s right. When I’m upset, I go crazy.”Aquilo’s pupils trembled. He wanted to say something, but the car had already crashed into the railing again.He struggled against Lily a little more and managed to put his foot on the brakes.With a bang, they came to a halt, and the powerful impact made the two of
Even when the car started, Aquilo couldn’t accept that he had gone from being the kidnapper to the one being kidnapped…Lily struggled with the ropes around her wrist. It was a very old-fashioned knot. The more she struggled, the tighter it became. She simply conserved her strength and stopped moving.However, the trunk was narrow, and the two of them were huddled inside. It was inevitable that they would bump into each other.Lily’s frustration intensified and she could not help but say, “There are two cars, but they had to squeeze us into the same trunk. Is that woman an idiot? Doesn’t she even know how to allocate resources?”“How do you still have the energy to curse her?” Aquilo was furious and shocked.The angrier he was, the calmer Lily became.Thinking about how he had stepped forward to plead for her just to get kidnapped along with her made her feel smug. “Aren’t you siblings? Aren’t you two close? Why did she do this to you?”Aquilo said angrily, “We’re now in the sam
