Eric selected some dishes casually, looking like a naughty young boy. After a short while, his plate was
filled with a lot of food, but he still glanced around for more. "It'd make me glad to know that she is fine.
You know that I never refuse her requests. Now that she has told me not to go look for her, I won't do
that."
While speaking, Eric was about to pick up a Schwarzwalder cake, but he suddenly found that there was
a mousse cake on his plate. He looked at Brian with confusion. "Molly might not like to eat such sweet
food."
Brian glanced at him and coldly said, "You're really interested in her lately!"
"Am I?" Eric raised his eyebrows and said. "Molly is nice and interesting. She looks weak and timid, but
she is very cute and attractive when she gets angry. I find that I like her very much."
With moroseness gleaming in his eyes, Brian said in a cold voice, "Do you just find her interesting, or
do you just want to figure out how much she means to me?"
"What do you think?" Eric wore a mischievous smile on his face.
Instead of replying, Brian asked, "You weren't about to come today, right?"
Eric raised his eyebrows haughtily and said, "Are you afraid that I will take her away from you?"
Although they both ignored the questions and said other things, they both knew what each other
meant. Perhaps they understood each other very well, or perhaps they had been competing against
each other for a long time.
"Eric, I just treat her as a plaything. I only love Becky!" After finishing speaking, Brian made his way to
the rest area with the plate in his hands.
Eric shrugged while glaring at Brian's back. Raising a corner of his lips, he muttered, "I'll verify whether
she is just your plaything or something more!"
Eric picked up a Schwarzwalder cake and also walked towards the rest area.
Wing and Molly were chatting casually. Since she saw that Wing and Brian were in a close relationship,
Molly felt embarrassed and guilty. She thought that she was just a shameless mistress. So she
restlessly talked with Wing. Her inferiority complex and unease made her feel very nervous and scared.
Wing, on the other hand, wanted to figure out what Molly had to do with Brian and Eric. However, when
she saw Molly was as upset as a frightened rabbit, she felt pity for her and didn't ask her.
"What are you talking about?" Brian asked in a pleasant and low voice as he sat down beside Wing
and placed the plate in front of her.
Molly's body was stiff with shock when she saw Brian. When Eric sat down beside her and lovingly
placed the plate in front of her, Molly took a glance at Brian.
But Brian ignored her and just carefully helped Wing place the tableware in an elegant and noble
manner. He did it out of habit, and not on purpose.
Molly secretly sneered at herself, with disappointment in her eyes.
She silently took the fork from Eric and lowered her head to eat. She paid no attention to what Eric was
saying, and was just engrossed in Brian's affectionate voice as he talked to Wing.
Molly felt even more disappointed and hated it extremely. She should have been worrying about how
Brian would punish her for being disobedient, but at the moment, she was just thinking of the scene
when Brian walked inside arm in arm with Wing. She thought Wing was smart, frank and charming.
She told herself that she was just Brian's plaything, so she had no right to be jealous of Wing or think
about whom he stayed with. In a few days, She would surely leave this frightening city and this terrible
man.
The plate was filled with a lot of food and there were two cakes on it. Without any hesitation, Molly
picked up the Schwarzwaelder cake. While she was eating silently, she didn't notice that Brian and Eric
fixed their eyes on her.
Eric's mouth twisted in a complacent smile. Although he didn't often stay with Molly, he had learned
from her eating habits that she might not like to eat such sweet food like mousse cake.
With this in his mind, Eric looked towards Brian with a defiant gaze. Brian still looked aloof, but there
was a touch of annoyance in his eyes.
Since she didn't like mousse, why had she ordered it in the dessert shop that day?
Casting a glance at the mousse cake that he had put in Molly's plate, Brian was annoyed and there
was fury in her eyes as Molly ignored his choice. He usually never did this, but this time, when he had
cared for her by chance, Molly had totally ignored his choice. At the thought of this, he felt disappointed
and displeased.
Wing ate the cake with great enjoyment. She loved mousse cake very much. While she was enjoying
her food, she also observed the expressions of Brian, Eric and Molly. She didn't ask anything, and just
chatted with them casually. However, it was obvious that she was very curious about what was
happening among the three of them.
As the party was about to start, more and more people arrived at the manor. There were many people
from criminal gangs and the government, and some were famous business men. When Edgar arrived
there, people shouted and cheered again.
Edgar was the youngest mayor of A City. He had taken office for less than one month, but he had
carried out the plan of urban construction and all kinds of policies and had attracted most of the
citizens' attention.
Mr. Song was a highly respected person, so people might not be surprised that Edgar would come
there. But when he reached there, everyone was still astonished by his arrival.
Mr. Song personally walked up to him and greeted him. Even Eric and Brian weren't treated by Mr.
Song like that. He only showed this much respect for Edgar.
Molly had agreed to come here with Eric, but she hadn't expected to meet Brian or Edgar.
The world truly was a mysterious place and the enigma seemed to only grow. When Molly tried to
escape something, it followed her closely; when she finally understood something, it only upset her.
She held the fork tightly, slightly closed her lips and stared at Edgar who was talking calmly with Mr.
Song. At that moment, she was heartbroken.
Even though she didn't have a good relationship with Edgar and he even despised her, her longing for
him over the last several years ran through her mind whenever she saw him, which made her feel sad
and dejected.
With a sly smile on his face, Eric had only intended to annoy his brother. However, at this moment, he
found out that there were more interesting things in the world!
Brian looked more morose with a livid face when he saw Molly, who was sitting beside Eric, fix her eyes
on Edgar recklessly. But he didn't try to figure out why he was angry about this matter.
It was about 8:00 in the evening, and the lights in the spacious room suddenly dimmed. Only a beam of
bright light shone in the middle of the room. The emcee made the opening remarks with a smile. Then
Mr. Song said a few words and announced that the party would now start.
Wing agreed to dance with him during the opening show. When people saw a young lady and the old
gentleman dancing happily, they were amused by them and couldn't stop laughing.
Brian put one hand in his pocket, and his gaze was glued on Wing. But at the same time, he was
glancing sideways at Molly who was standing beside Eric.
"Mr. Mayor, is she Miss Xia?" Bill pointed at Molly, without a lollipop in his mouth this time.
In fact, Edgar had already seen her earlier. He had wondered why she was with Eric this time. Now that
he was on this special occasion and Brian was also there, he didn't focus his attention on her. But he
was planning to catch a chance to meet and talk with her.
