Megan was stupefied.
She was feeling guilty, and she never expected Gianna who had used to be gentle would say that.
Gianna did not care about her pride and she took a glimpse at their locked arms. “Miss Scott, do you
think you’re more suitable to stay by my fiancé’s side?”
Caesar reacted and he quickly pushed Megan’s arm away.
Megan was more embarrassed then and she could only let out a wry smile. “Since Miss Morris rarely
took part in this kind of banquet, therefore I have to keep Mr. Kennedy companied. I feel sorry to make
you misunderstand.”
“Are you saying that I’m not open-minded enough?” Gianna raised her eyebrow.
Megan wanted to argue.
Gianna spoke straightaway, “Not to mention the only thing I cared about is within these five minutes,
from the moment I entered the hall until now, Miss Scott has been holding my fiancé’s arm all the time.
That makes me thought Miss Scott was showing your authority to me.”
Megan’s face went cadaverous, yet she did not dare to retort out loud due to their large difference in
status. She could only keep on explaining and apologizing. “No, it’s not it, Miss Morris. It’s my fault that
I didn’t behave appropriately. I’ll keep this in mind next time.”
Gianna chuckled.
Yet she did not intend to forgive her.
Maureen was completely dumbfounded. Was that still the Gianna she knew?
She was totally in a dominant position.
She had used to remind her that Megan Scott was a flirt and it was obvious she did not have a good
intention when she clung to Caesar so closely every day.
Yet since Gianna said that she trusted Caesar, and Maureen did think that Caesar was actually quite
nice, she did not say anything further.
Yet she was still dissatisfied with Megan. Relying on some attractiveness she had, the fact that she had
graduated from a well-renowned university and had become the special assistant of the general
manager of the Kennedy Group under a young age, she was always complacent and arrogant. She
had even teased them as the mistresses of the upper class both secretly and in the open that they
were completely useless besides having good luck.
She felt delighted no matter how when Megan was chastised by Gianna in the public.
“Gina,” Caesar suddenly spoke and he held her hand.
Gianna felt disgusted in her heart but she still endured it.
“I didn’t expect you to come today so suddenly, I feel happy.” He did not say a word regarding the fact
that she had criticized Megan just now.
He did not say a word to defend Megan and did not explain why he had let her hold his arm all the time.
Caesar was always good at avoiding himself from trouble.
Gianna was clever too and she did not say anything further. The fact that she criticized Megan had
already hurt Caesar’s pride. If she was too stubborn to go further, that would disadvantage the things
she wanted to do next.
“Come, I’ll take you to my parents. They must be so happy to see you.” Caesar smiled. He was always
that gentle.
Gianna nodded and after informing Maureen, she held his arm and entered the banquet hall.
With both of their dazzling looks, both of them instantly became the centre of attention.
“Gianna Morris is indeed the most beautiful woman in Country B. I thought it was just rumor before.”
“She rarely shows herself in the public, and this is the first time I see her too. I thought she’s just scared
to embarrass herself because she’s not pretty enough, it looks like I was just being narrow-minded.”
“I always thought Gianna Morris doesn’t deserve to be with Caesar Kennedy in the past, now I realize
Gianna seems to be the better one.”
…
Those gossips were heard by Gianna and Caesar too. Since Gianna had rarely attended such events
before, and Caesar was good at showcasing himself, the people in Kouby City all thought she did not
deserve to be with Caesar.
Now that he heard those comments, Caesar certainly felt unhappy.
He was always egocentric and he could not bear to hear someone talk bad about him. He could not
bear to see anyone being better than him, including Gianna.
Yet he was used to pretending and no one could tell.
Both of them came to Caesar’s parents and greeted them.
Gianna used to think the Kennedy family truly treated her sincerely. They cared about her and took
great care of her. It was then she knew they were only doing that to gain her trust and steal her family
property.
She concealed her feelings and acted courteously to them.
A lot of people passed by to and fro the banquet hall. The Kennedy family was one of the biggest
families, and many people came flattering and chatting with them. Gianna slowly walked away without
leaving a sign and Caesar did not even realize she was gone until the moment she left.
She used to think he was swamped in work and it was forgivable that he forgot her.
She used to keep on finding excuses for him…
Gianna turned around and headed to the flower garden at the back.
As expected, she did not enjoy a noisy place, she felt much more relaxed once she reached the
garden.
“Miss Morris.” Just then, a voice was heard and she was taken aback by it.
She turned around and saw a man walking out of the darkness.
He was wearing a black and cold grey suit, with a white shirt and silver-grey necktie in it. His clothes’
unique cutting and color tone instantly amazed her with just a glance, together with his chiseled facial
features.
Gianna quickly looked away and asked, “Why are you here?”
“I’m waiting for you.” An attractive smile broke upon Kingsley’s lips.
Why was he waiting for her?
And how on earth did he know she was coming to the garden?
“What can I help you?” she asked without showing any expression.
“Give me back the card!” he spoke straightaway.
Gianna’s facial expression changed a little.
As expected, she could not have her hopes too high for this guy.
She said, “Aren’t you generous towards women?”
“So are you telling me that you’ve admitted that you’re my woman now?” Kingsley let out a wicked
smile.
He approached her with his handsome face and an aggressive aura. His oppressive aura made her
feel dangerous.
She dodged.
Kingsley burst out laughing.
“Go away,” Gianna said gruffly. “The card is at my home, I’ll give it back to you next time!”
After finished, she turned around and was ready to leave.
Her aim was loud and clear after she was reborn. She did not intend to give herself too much time to
relax, and she had to learn how to socialize with people.
Just then, she spotted Caesar who had come out of the banquet hall.
He seemed to look for her when he noticed she was gone.
He clearly did not look good when he saw her. He might have thought she should always stay by his
side docilely no matter what he was doing.
Yet his expression immediately changed the next second. He behaved like a gentleman and spoke to
her kindly, “Why did you come out all by yourself? I was worried sick when I didn’t see you.”
“I felt slightly bored, so I came here to breathe some fresh air. I was going to go back just now.” Gianna
smiled blandly.
“Let me stay by your side the next time.” Caesar took her into his arms intimately.
Gianna felt slightly uneasy, especially when Kingsley stared at her. She felt creeps.
She could not exactly tell what his emotion was from his eyes. They just made her feel guilty.
They were just partners who collaborated for their own benefits, weren’t they?
Caesar sensed Kingsley’s looking at them too. He was still behaving like a gentleman and he even
extended his hand to greet him. “Oh, Mr. Walker, didn’t expect to see you here too. It’s been a long time
not seeing you.”
Kingsley glanced at him and did not extend his hand.
He passed by them arrogantly and indifferently, saying, “Your fiancée is beautiful, do keep an eye on
her.”
