Chapter 164
Bary noticed Moira''s actions and frowned slightly. "Don''t you like it?"
It wasn''t that Moira didn''t like the wine. She was just afraid that she would make a scene.
When it came to drinking, she was a ssic example of low alcohol tolerance and overly
confidence.
She still remembered thest time she mentioned "car sex" in front of Bary when she was drunk.
Moira''s face could not help but be flushed when she recalled that. "It''s not good to drink."
Although the wine was delicious, it would be embarrassing if she was drunk!
She had quit it!
Bary''s lips curled into a rare smile. He reached out and took the ss of red wine away from
Moira''s hand. Then, he got a cup of orange juice from a waiter''s tray and handed it to her. "Drink
this."
Moira looked at the people around her and saw everyone shaking their sses of red wine. She
was dressed so beautifully, and holding a cup of orange juice didn''t match her temperament at all.
She thought, ''Actually, I can take the wine ss in my hand and not drink... Forget it, Mr. Covington
is just being kind.''
"Thank you."
Moira took the cup. Just as she retracted her gaze, someone came to greet her and Bary. "Mr.
Covington, Mrs. Covington".
She looked over and found that it was Ashton Lindley, the eldest son of Summit.
Bary was a distinguished guest for tonight''s banquet, and Ashton had toe to wee him in
person.
Bary sped Moira''s waist and nodded lightly at Ashton. "Mr. Lindley."
Moira straightened her back and smiled appropriately. "Mr. Lindley."
"I didn''t expect you to take the time out of your busy schedule toe. Please forgive me for not
greeting you well, Mr. Covington and Mrs. Covington."
As Ashton spoke, his gaze rested on Moira. When he saw "Ethereal" on her neck, he paused for a
moment. Soon, he recovered from his shock and praised Moira for being beautiful tonight.
Most of the guests were celebrities in Arnelo, either rich or noble. Although Bary was important,
Ashton could not stay with him all the time.
He got a waiter to take care of Bary and Moira. Then, he apologized and went to greet the
others.
As soon as Ashton left, many people went to talk with Bary.
Bary had never attended such banquets, and it was a rare opportunity to see him today.
Even so, the others did not dare to go overboard. They were afraid that they would offend Bary if
they failed to please him. Hence, they asked their wives or daughters to tter Moira.

Moira did not like hypocritical ttery. In the beginning, when the first fewdies praised her, she
smiled and thanked them. Later, she looked straight at Bary and pretended to be talking to him.
When those who wanted to tter Moira saw that, they did not dare to say anything. Knowing Moira
was unwilling to talk with them, they could only leave resentfully with their wine sses.
When Bernice and Cynthia entered the banquet hall, other guests gave exmations.
It had long been rumored in the upper-ss circle that the members of the Covington family were
not satisfied with their daughter-inw, Moira. Instead, Cynthia was the one they valued.
Bary''s stepmother had brought Cynthia to the banquet in person, which could almost confirm the
rumors.
Just now, many people were envious of Moira. Now, most of them were waiting to watch the show.
Initially, Moira stillined in her heart that the banquet was too boring. When she saw Bernice
suddenlye, her sense of responsibility was instantly aroused.
Bernice led Cynthia in the direction of Bary and Moira. Other guests all made way for them.
In less than half a minute, Bernice and Cynthia walked up to Moira and Bary. "Bary, Ms. Hurst
has something to talk to you."
Then, Bernice said to Moira, "Ms. Jimenez, do you mind apanying me for a while?"
Moira raised her head and met Bernice''s gaze. As everyone gloated over her misfortune, she slowly
said, "Sorry, I mind."
