  "Ha, your fiancée is pretty, Mr. Elwood. I suggest you keep an eye on her in case anything troublesome would happen."

  

      Ann’s face changed slightly.

  

      Oh, this wretched man!

  

      It seemed that he really enjoyed stirring up trouble.

  

      Looking at the back of Finn, Chris said with disdain, "Humph, you are merely a black sheep."

  

      Ann pursed her lips.

  

      Chris was an arrogant man; he would have never thought that Ann would have connections with a man like Finn.

  

      But….

  

      Ann sneered.

  

      ‘The so-called "black sheep" is someone you can’t deal with by all means!’ She wondered.

  

      "Let's go," said she. Then she walked into the banquet hall arm in arm with Chris.

  

      This time back in the hall, Ann obviously became more active.

  

      She politely greeted and talked with the people coming and going, 

  Ann looked back at Finn.

  

      The two looked into each other's eyes.

  

      Then in just one second.

  

      They looked away at the same time.

  

      Finn said to the host, "What are you waiting for?"

  

      The host was also watching the fun. Upon hearing Finn’s words, he came to his senses and said, "30 million for the first time!"

  

      "30 million for the second time!"

  

      "30 million for the third time!"

  

      "Deal! Congratulations, Mr. West!"

  

      The crowd burst into applause.

  

      Under the watchful eyes of the public, he went up the stage and took the sapphire.

  

      Being putting in a delicate glass box, the gem glowed blue under the light, which made many people have a hankering to take a close look.

  

      Just then, Finn walked up to Chris and Ann.

  

      Chris frowned.

  

      He thought Finn wanted to sh

  Elaine was stunned.

  

      She had a guilty conscience, and she had never thought that Ann, who had always been gentle would say something like that.

  

      Ann didn't show any respect to Elaine. She glanced at them and asked, "Assistant Elaine, do you think you are more suitable to be with my fiance?"

  

      Realizing what had happened, Chris pushed Elaine's hand away.

  

      Elaine was even more embarrassed at that moment. She had to smile tremblingly, "Miss Ann seldom attend such kind of banquet, so I have to attend the social engagement with Mr. Chris. I'm sorry that Miss Ann misunderstood me."

  

      "Are you saying that I'm not generous enough?" Ann raised her eyebrows.

  

      When Elaine was about to defend herself.

  

      Ann said straightforwardly, "what's more, I only care about that since I entered the banquet hall, you have been holding my fiance's arm in the past 5 minutes. Let me think that you are declaring your sovereignty over me."

  

      Elaine's face turned pale because of the huge gap in social status between them. She didn't dare to retort loudly, so she had to keep explaining and apologizing, "no, Miss Ann. It's my fault. I didn't notice what I was doing just now. I'll be careful next time."

  

      Ann chuckled.

  

      And she didn't mean to forgive her.

  

      Sitting next to her, Flora was really stunned. Was this the Ann she knew?

  

      What a domineering woman!

  

      She once reminded Ann that Elaine was a coquettish who clung to Chris so closely every day. Obviously, she had ulterior motives.

  

      But Ann said she trusted Chris, so she didn't say anything more.

  

      However, she still didn't like Elaine. She graduated from a famous university and became the special assistant of the general manager of Elwood Group at such a young age. She pretended to be narrow-minded and snobbish, and even mocked the upper class girls like them in secret. She thought that they were good for nothing just because of their rich family background.

  

      At this moment, Flora felt very happy see Elaine lectured by Ann in public!

  

      "Ann." Chris spoke suddenly and took the initiative to take her hand.

  

      Ann tried her best to put up with it.

  

      "I didn't expect you to come here all of a sudden today. I'm very happy." He didn’t mention that she had just taught Elaine a lesson.

  

      He didn't say anything nice to Elaine, nor did he explain why he let Elaine hold his arm all the time.

  

      Chris was good at evading the important and dwelling on the trivial.

  

      Ann was smart enough not to say anything more. She had already disgraced him by teaching Elaine a lesson. Being too eager for quick success and instant benefit was not good for what she was going to do next.

  

      "Let's go. I'll take you to see my parents. They all want to see you." He smiled gently.

  

      Ann nodded and said goodbye to Flora. Then she walked in the banquet hall arm in arm with Chris.

  

      A handsome man and a beautiful woman would always attract a lot of attention.

  

      "Ann is indeed the most beautiful woman in France. I thought it was just a rumor before."

  

      "She didn't show up in public. It's the first time I've seen her. I thought she wasn't beautiful enough, which is totally wrong."

  

      "I used to think that Ann didn't deserve him. But now it seems that Ann is more outstanding."

  

      ......

  

      Ann and Chris also heard those discussions.

  

      In the past, Ann didn't show up at these events and Chris was so good at showing off that people in Paris thought she wasn't good enough for him.

  

      Now that he heard these voices, he was naturally unhappy.

  

      He always liked to put himself in the highest position. He didn’t want to see anyone say that he was bad, and he couldn't see anyone who was better than him, neither could Ann.

  

      But no one could see that because he was used to pretending.

  

      The two walked up to his parents and greeted them.

  

      In the past, Ann really thought that the Elwood family treated her sincerely, cared about her and took good care of her. Later she knew that it was just to get her trust and deceive her family property.

  

      She disguised her emotions and socialized with the Elwood family.

  

      There were a lot of people coming and going in the banquet hall. As one of the four biggest families, the Elwood family had a lot of people to please and talk to. Gradually, Ann walked away without being noticed. At the moment when she walked away, Chris didn't even notice her leaving.

  

      In the past, she always thought it was excusable for him to ignore her because of work.

  

      She used to make excuses for him

  

      Ann turned around and walked to the back garden.

  

      As expected, she didn't like lively places. She felt much more relaxed as soon as she arrived at the back garden, but at that moment.

  

      "Miss Ann." The sudden voice startled her.

  

      She turned around and saw a man walking out of the darkness.

  

      He was wearing a black, cold gray suit, a white shirt and a silver gray tie. The well tailored and color, coupled with his three-dimensional and deep features, making him look amazing at first glance.

  

      Ann looked away and asked, "Why are you here?"

  

      "I'll wait for Miss Ann here." Finn smiled.

  

      Why did he wait for her?

  

      Besides, how did he know that she was coming to the back garden.

  

      "What's up?" Ann asked him calmly.

  

      "Give me back the card!" Finn said bluntly.

  

      Ann's face changed slightly.

  

      Sure enough, she couldn't hold too much hope for him.

  

      "Aren't you always generous to women?"

  

      "So Miss Ann is reminding me that you are already my woman?" Finn smiled evilly.

  

      At that moment, his handsome face approached her with an intimidating aura, making her feel very oppressive and dangerous.

  

      Ann stepped back.

  

      Finn laughed carelessly.

  

      "Wait." Ann said angrily, "I'll give you next time, the card is at home!"

  

      Then she turned around and was about to leave.

  

      In her rebirth, her purpose was very clear. She did not intend to give herself too much time to relax, so she had to learn to engage in social activities.

  

      At that moment, she saw Chris coming out of the banquet hall.

  

      It seemed that he just found that she was not with him, so he came out to look for her.

  

      When he saw her, his face was obviously not very good. Perhaps it took for granted that whenever he did anything, she should stay by her side quietly.

  

      However, in the next second, he showed a gentle and elegant appearance in an instant. He said gently, "why did you come out alone? I was worried for a long time because I didn't see you all of a sudden."

  

      "I feel a little stuffy, so I come out to breathe some fresh air. I'm going back." Ann smiled.

  

      "Let me accompany you next time." Chris held her tightly in his arms.

  

      Ann felt a little uncomfortable, especially when she was stared at by Finn.

  

      She couldn't tell that kind of feeling. Anyway, it made her feel guilty.

  

      Obviously.

  

      They were just partners.

  

      Chris also noticed Finn's gaze. He was still gentle and greeted, “Mr. Finn, long time no see."

  

      Finn glanced at him and didn't stretch out his hand.

  

      He walked past them and said coldly.

"Ha, your fiancée is pretty, Mr. Elwood. I suggest you keep an eye on her in case anything troublesome would happen."
