Chapter 513

At a grand and luxurious banquet. Ivory had already put on her makeup and arrived at the banquet. This was New Clamport's most respected ninety-year-old Mr. Lane's birthday party. Mr. Lane and Baird had a deep friendship of generations, which was also the reason why Emma and Daphne were sure that he would come to the scene tonight. The banquet was grand, and all the guests were from influential families. Ivory looked at the time on her wristwatch nervously. She asked worriedly, "Is it true that only Baird will come tonight?" "I don't believe that woman still has the nerve to show up here." Daphne said disdainfully. She thought of the public opinion of Rita, and the people who came here tonight were all famous figures. Wasn't Baird also concerned about his reputation? While thinking in this way, Ivory also felt that Baird would not take Rita with him tonight. When she thought of this, she felt much more relieved. ... Here, in the car! Rita was wearing a light purple dress, which was the same color as the man's sleeve button, and this dress was chosen by Baird for her. "Buzz buzz buzz!" On the way, Rita's cell phone vibrated. She took it out and found that it was from Emma. Just when Rita was thinking about whether she should pick it up or not, Baird pulled her phone away. "It's me!" The moment he picked it up, his magnetic voice was filled with coldness. Hearing that, Rita's eyebrows twitched! It had to be said that the relationship between Baird and Emma now was nothing in front of her. She now also felt that this relationship was broken. "You took her with you?" On the other side of the phone, when Emma heard Baird's voice, she thought she had dialed the wrong number. Then, she understood what was going on. A big stone had been crushed in her heart, but at this moment, she couldn't help but feel her blood boil. Before Baird could speak, Emma started to lose her temper. "Do you know what it means?" "What are they talking about you now? How dare you take her to the birthday party of Mr. Lane at this time?" "Tock, tock, tock!" Just as she was about to say something, the other end of the line ended the call. Emma looked at the sound of hanging up the phone. At that moment, her blood was already surging, and at this moment, she was so angry that she almost fainted. When Madeline came up with dessert, she saw Emma throw the phone on the sofa angrily. She stepped forward and said, "Madam!" "Madeline, tell me, what's his attitude toward me now? Is it because I don't support him and Rita's relationship that he treats me like this?" "Mr. Wallis has always had his own ideas. You shouldn't think of him like this!" Madeline sighed and said. Emma snorted and said, "What decision does he have? I think as long as he meets Rita's problem, he loses control!" When she thought of this, Emma's heart was filled with rage. Madeline didn't know how to answer her. In short, some changes in Emma during this period of time were beyond the imagination of the people around her. They did not expect that a person could have such a powerful change. Emma was really angry. She quickly called Daphne, but no matter how hard she tried, no one answered the phone. She didn't know about Ivory's call. Now that Baird took Rita to the banquet, their previous arrangements were obviously useless. "Jesus!" Emma slammed the phone again in anger. At this moment, her image was completely gone. Even in her eyes, which had always been calm and serious, there was only endless sharpness and coldness, as well as disgust for Rita. ... The banquet, which was lit by candlelight, was very lively. When Baird and Rita came up and down from the car, the Lane family welcomed them with a polite smile. Miss Maddison Lane stepped forward warmly and said, "Miss Esther, welcome." "Hello." Rita gently reached out to Maddison. Baird held Rita's hand slightly heavier. When the people at the banquet saw the Lane family welcoming them in person, their eyes were all attracted to them. Especially when they saw Baird take Rita with him at this critical moment. They all gasped! They looked at each other, but they didn't dare to talk about it casually in the attitude of Baird and the Lane family. Ivory and Daphne were also attracted. When they saw Baird with Rita. The two looked at each other, and Ivory's face darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye. "Didn't you say she wouldn't come?" She was so sure that the two wouldn't appear together, but now! Daphne was so angry that the blue veins on her forehead bulged. Obviously, she didn't expect that Rita would show up at this time. Her heart kept rising and falling!! "Daphne." "Don't talk, let me be quiet!" Daphne's mind was in a mess at the moment. Especially when she saw Rita standing next to Baird with a smile, her heart kept rising and falling. What on earth was this? Rita actually appeared here, and it seemed that nothing had happened. But anyone with human nature and conscience should be staying in the hospital now, not in such a luxurious banquet. "Then what should we do now?" Ivory looked at her sadly. She had planned to become Baird's woman tonight, but now that Rita was with him, what chance would they have? She was unwilling to let Ivory give up like this! Daphne was unwilling to give up after doing this. "Wait, there's a way!" ... After chatting with the Lane family, Baird was invited to Mr. Lane's place, and Miss Maddison was arranged to be with Rita. As long as Daphne was there, those who wanted to talk about Rita or even go forward to hit on him were stopped by Daphne's gaze. However, Daphne stepped forward uncontrollably. "Miss Esther, I didn't expect to see you here tonight. Nice to meet you!" Nice to meet you? Ha! Rita looked at Daphne's hand, but did not hold it. She picked up the red wine glass in front of her and swayed it, but did not drink it. She laughed like a fox. "I didn't disturb you, did I?" At this time, Ivory also appeared behind Daphne. Rita smiled when she saw Daphne's dress. The two sisters looked terrible. They looked at Rita with hostility and wanted to tear her apart. Rita covered his smile and said, "Baird originally wanted to get a blue tie today, but after taking it out, he put it back!" Ivory was speechless. Her heart sank to the bottom when she heard Rita's words.
