This archenemy seemed to have quietly encroached upon his wife!


    “Oh, she’s not your maid? Right, you once talked about marrying her, so calling her your former fiancée wouldn’t be an exaggeration.”


    Vinson was aggressive, clearly not wanting to let the matter drop.


    “Zelda is not my former fiancée either.”


    “What is she then? She’s moved into your Winston, which is unprecedented in your career, Charles.”


    “Vinson, that’s my private matter. What’s it to you? If you’re so curious, does that mean you deeply love me and are jealous? Are you ming me for neglecting you?”


    “What do you mean, Charles? Who loves you deeply?”


    “Then why are you partying? Tonight is Yemmy’s birthday, yet you’re taking over the conversation, constantly pestering me. Do you want to cling to me like a barnacle on a whale’s back, just to assert your dominance? Isn’t it just to get my attention?”


    Everyone…


    Vinson…


    He was so furious his face turned pale. If he had a beard, it would have bristled with anger.


    Charles was truly unpredictable, but his words were incisive.


    With just a few ambiguous words, he left Vinson speechless and hopping mad, yet there was nothing Vinson could do about it.


    Others might fear offending Vinson, but not Charles. He even did things that offended Vinson every day.


    Zelda, hiding behind the crowd, holding a te in one hand and a fork in the other, was feeding herself with snacks. When she heard her husband’s ambiguous words, she almost choked on a snack, barely managing to swallow it down. She felt ufortable too and quickly grabbed a ss of wine, taking a few sips to ease her difort.


    Charles often used her of being shameless, but he was even more shameless than her.


    Ha ha, weren’t they a family?


    Vinson simmered down, and finally, Charles and his siblings were weed into the house by the Granger family members.


    Yenny’s father hinted for a few nephews to apany Vinson while he himself apanied Charles and his children.


    Elle looked at Zelda, who was enjoying food and wine in the corner, with disdain. She couldn’t help but mutter to herself, “Zelda, are you a bottomless pit? All you do is eat, eat, eat.”


    “I didn’t eat anything before leaving, so yes, I’m hungry. Aren’t you hungry?”


    Elle… she was hungry.


    “When titans sh,moners suffer. We small fries better stay far away.”


    Elle…


    She looked at Charles, who was treated as an honored guest by the Granger family, and couldn’t suppress her fear. Whenever she saw that cold, ruthless man, she felt afraid.


    Hmm, it’s better to stay away.


    Now that Charles was here, Yemmy definitely wouldn’t have time for her girlfriends.


    Elle had self-awareness and simply went to get some food, but she didn’t join Zelda. Instead, she gathered with her other friends, chatting andughing.


    “Zelda.”


    Upon hearing the familiar voice, Zelda looked up with delight at Cindy.


    Cindy, like Zelda, was isted in high society. After exchanging greetings with the host at each party, Cindy usually kept to herself. It wasn’t that she couldn’t get along with the other youngdies; it was just that they didn’t want to associate with her.


    The first time Cindy saw Zelda, she felt they were both exceptions in high society. They hit it off right away and became good friends.


    “Why did youe sote?”


    Zelda scooted over to make room for Cindy, who was also holding food and wine.


    “It’s all thanks to my mom. She takes forever to get ready. It takes her an entire afternoon just to do her makeup. I was practically growing mold waiting for her.”


    Once Cindy sat down, she immediately startedining to her friend.


    Afterward, the two of them ate and drank while chatting quietly.


    “I heard there was quite wonderful earlier?”


    Cindy arrivedte and missed the spectacle, but she had heard about it and was itching for gossip.


    “Charles actually showed up. I’ve been to countless parties, but it’s the first time I’ve seen Charles at one.”


    Cindy sneaked a nce at Charles, who was stillmanding attention even while sitting in a wheelchair.


    “It shows how high Yemmy’s status is. She’s not someone we small fries canpare to.”


    Zelda also nced at her husband.


    He showed up at the party without saying a word, which startled her when she heard he was here.


    “Yeah, indeed.”


    Cindy came from a wealthy family, but they couldn’tpare to the Granger family. Her mother pulled out all the stops just to get two invitations from the Granger family, allowing Cindy to meet all the handsome men and beautiful women in River Town.


    “Charles looks really handsome.”


    Cindy sighed.Têxt ? N?velDrama.Org.


    It’s a pity that he’s disabled.


    “He does. Do you want to take a few pictures of the handsome man?”


    Cindy shook her head vigorously, like a tambourine. “I dare to sneak pictures of any man in the world, except Charles. I want to live a few more years.”
