Jasper nodded puzzlingly, "Yes, didn't it say so when the notice was given? It is held to welcome an
honoured guest."
Lucas scowled and continued stomping his feet, "Oh no, damn it! I didn't know it is held by Emmett. I
have brought Elaine here!"
"Ah? No way? Geez!"
Lucas said, "I saw that Oliver is here too. If the three of them meet again here, will there be a third
world war?"
Jasper broke into cold sweats as he said something even more horrifying to Lucas.
"Not just the third world war, I think it might be the end of the world! The more frightening thing is that
the woman brought by Emmett is the heiress of the mafia. She likes Emmett. And the main point is, she
is also a green-eyed woman!"
Lucas was going to faint.
A green-eyed woman?
This would mean that... if this woman met Elaine...
Then...
"It's over! We should find Elaine as soon as possible. No matter what, just get her out first!"
"Okay! Good! We split up!"
Jasper nodded fiercely, putting his glass down, and split up with Lucas to look for Elaine.
On the other side, the three girls, Hazel, Elaine and Sally exclaimed "Wow!" feeling amazed once
entered, drawing the attention of the guests inside.
Huh? What were these three girls doing here?
They were shabbily dressed in those kinds of very cheap clothes.
One of them was wearing a branded and well-made dress. But the girl didn't look like any well-bred
lady with her bangs and silly childish look.
Most ladylike women are the same, that is, they always have the haughty face and smile slightly. They
wouldn’t even feel surprised when they see aliens invading the Earth. They have to show that they
have seen it all.
So, these three girls who gasped when they came in were definitely not the ladies from those wealthy
families.
In fact, the security guards at the entrance also questioned these three girls who were unadorned.
However, they had tickets in their hands. There was no reason to shoo them out.
"My God, the chandelier up there is so multi-layered, just like a layer cake. What do you guys think, if in
case this chandelier is not sturdy and suddenly falls down?"
Sally looked at the ceiling while shaking her head.
...
Hazel was looking at the wall decorations as well as those rich people's clothing, sighing, "In the future,
when I am rich, I also want to hold this kind of party!"
Elaine, who is always hungry easily, was just staring at the wide variety of food on the long table and
gulping.
"Why don't they eat? Can I eat?"
Hazel looked around. She coughed, and then grinned wickedly showing her teeth.
"Girls, anyway, there is no one here who knows us. Come on, we are here already, why just standing
around? Let's go and eat all you want!"
The other two girls cheered.
The three girls were in high spirits, each carrying a dinner plate and heading for the food.
“This is delicious; take some more of this...”
“Huh, this looks good too. Get more of this...”
“Wow, this piece of cake looks nice. It makes me want to try it. Take it, take it...”
Just like that, within a short while, Elaine had clamped a plate full of food.
The whipped cream here looks perfect, the colour is right on point. They wonder how does it taste.
Elaine took a piece of cream cake and stuffed it into her big mouth.
"Mmmmm, it's delicious. Not bad, not bad at all..."
Elaine had a full mouth of cake. She was enjoying the fresh cream and nodding her head.
While Hazel and Sally were still scooping food onto their plate. They were still not satisfied yet with it.
So they went for a second plate.
Elaine was eating with pleasure when she felt that the noise in the hall went out in an instant.
It was as if, some great president suddenly arrived, and the whole crowded banquet hall suddenly
quieted down.
As the music sounded, the whole place was instantly lively again.
A young man in a black tuxedo stood on the stage, letting his mellow voice transmitted to all directions
through the microphone.
"Let's welcome the director of Dark Shadows Group, the youngest and most intelligent beauty, Miss
Juliana to China! Welcome!"
The hall was filled with applause.
...
Juliana? Elaine was stunned as she stuffed her mouth with food.
Did she hear it right? Did the emcee just say "Juliana"?
Could it be that this Juliana was the same Juliana that she knew?
Or did she mishear?
Elaine dumbly looked towards the stage.
She saw that a sultry and charming woman, like a dazzling star, was walking onto stage together with a
man.
And that man was no one else, but... Emmett Smith!
Burp!
Elaine was shocked!
She had eyes like saucers!
Her mouth was full of food, but she stopped chewing it.
She just widened her eyes staring at the stage dumbly, not even bothering to breathe.
The handsome man and beautiful woman were indeed a match made in heaven!
Emmett in the black tuxedo was gaining the attention of the crowd, like a powerful god descending from
the sky.
And the woman grabbing his arm was indeed the Italian Juliana!
The two of them were close together.
The two of them walking intimately on stage were like a couple as Juliana grabbed Emmett's arm.
Juliana narrowed her eyes smiling slightly with grace, and nodded gently to the guests around.
And Emmett was standing tall and kept smirking.
Elaine's body trembled viciously.
The plate in her hand was trembling gently too.
She did not know why. At this moment, she was like her heart being pulled out by someone!
So painful!
It hurt so much!
She was like going to suffocate.
Ah! It turned out that the evening social gathering Emmett said was to have dinner with Juliana!
So, I see...
Juliana stood in front of the microphone and smiled before she gave her speech in proficient language.
"Thank you all for coming to this party; I am honoured to be able to meet you all here.
It's fate that brings me to China, and also a destiny for my company to cooperate with Tianyi Group.
Of course, there may still be a personal factor for me. That is, I hope that I can also find my destiny
here in China."
Speaking here, Juliana paused slightly and turned to Emmett glancing fondly at him with a touching
smile.
Emmett took a glance at Juliana but did not say anything.
...
The crowd was all abuzz!
This implication of Juliana was too obvious!
Juliana liked Emmett Smith! She adored the young director of Tianyi Group!
What a romantic glance!
Only a fool wouldn't understand it!
Juliana smiled sweetly, making a shy face, and continued, "I think, everyone will have good news from
me very soon. At that time, I hope that everyone can come along and cheer up for me."
Clap, clap, clap... The crowd applauded enthusiastically.
These tycoons were vaguely aware of the background of this large global company, Black Shadows,
and it was not ordinary!
Juliana was the heir of Black Shadows!
Who dared not to show respect to her?
The applause went on and on for a long time.
Juliana walked off stage while she continued grabbing Emmett's arm.
Juliana leaned her head on Emmett's shoulder, smiling flirtatiously and whispered.
"Emmett, what do you think about my speech just now? Why didn't you say anything?"
Emmett was still very charming as he smirked, but his voice was low.
"I won't interfere and evaluate your speech. It has nothing to do with me anyway."
"Oh? Is that so? Then try to guess what I mean by destiny and good news? Would those be related to
you?"
Emmett was looking ahead. He nodded and smiled at the people and said coldly to her.
"I certainly do not hope to have anything to do with me."
"Then... what if it must have something to do with you?"
Emmett gave Juliana a cold-eyed stare and said decisively, "Then I'll let it become none of my business
again!"
Juliana implicitly rebuked Emmett's ruthlessness. But she couldn't take it personally, as she had to
maintain her image as the main character of the banquet in a public place.
As to the public, both of them were tall and good looking. As Emmett and Juliana walking next to each
other in the crowd, they were particularly a perfect match.
No one could have expected that the conversation between these two people walking together would
be so formal.
"Oh, it seems like there may be good news about the two of them very soon."
