Selena no longer wanted to listen to her parents’ conversation, so she went to the third floor and stood


    on the balcony. As she looked at the brightest spot, she realized that must be where Ellen stayed. She


    must be surrounded by many people who propose a toast to her and greet her. She’s Mrs. Presgrave


    now, after all.


    She was bitter and jealous, but it wasn’t like. there was anything she could do about it. Unlike her


    spection, Ellen didn’t meet many people since she was pregnant. Apart from the closest rtives,


    Jared didn’t let anyone else meet Ellen so that she could get some rest.


    At this point, all the important guests had arrived. The Mansons, the Weisses, and the Lloyds were the


    Presgraves’ closest friends. In the evening, a group of women were seated in a cafe by the beach and


    had a talk. They were Anastasia, Sophia, Ang, and Queenie.


    Now, their children were all adults, and their careers were on the right track, so they were free to gather


    together from time to time. They were best friends who met up frequently, so their rtionship


    remained robust..


    Although their children worked in different parts of the world, they woulde into contact often, which


    strengthened the ties between the four families.

    The breeze brought with it the night’s coolness. Some waiters stood near these wealthydies, ready to


    serve them at any moment. The younger waitresses were envious of them.


    These maturedies were elegant and in their element. Apparently, they had loving husbands and


    brilliant children by their side. On top of that, they had sessful careers and important social statuses.


    Women like them were the winners in life.


    As darkness descended, the entire ind fell into silence. Some guests refused to go back to their


    rooms as they roamed around the beach and took in the night view. Some of them were in cafes and


    bars.


    Ethan was one of those people who just couldn’t sleep. He initially wanted to ask Jared toe out


    and have a drink with him. However, he decided not to bother his friend since thetter had a wife by


    his side. Therefore, he was seated in the bar alone as he drank beer and pondered his family affairs.


    Just then, Selena elegantly walked into the bar. She was there to look for a potential husband. The


    wealthy men she came across on the beach in the morning made her think that all the male guests


    were middle-aged men.


    Much to her surprise, she saw a man who was just as handsome as Jared in a bar in the middle of the


    night. He was seated under a chandelier as the dim light engulfed him. His ck shirt added ayer of


    mystery to his stunningly good-looking face.


    Selena was besotted with the man. As she looked at the man’s wristwatch, she realized he wasn’t just


    rich; he was ultra-rich.


    Several women around the man were also drooling over him, and one of them got to her feet. Selena


    was someone who would achieve her goal at all costs, so she certainly wouldn’t let the woman


    approach the handsome man.


    Seeing that the woman was walking toward Ethan with a ss of wine in her hand, she strode toward


    her. Just as the woman was about to reach Ethan, Selena intentionally bumped into her, causing the


    wine to ssh onto her chest.


    “Ah!” eximed the woman. I’m supposed to chat up a handsome guy. How did I end up sshing my


    wine onto a woman? Seizing the chance, Selena stood closer to Ethan and questioned, “What’s wrong


    with you?”


    “I’m sorry! It was an ident.” Selena secretly pulled her dress lower and revealed more of her chest.


    Even the bartender couldn’t help but nce at her. Meanwhile, Ethan looked in the same direction to


    find out what was going on.


    When Selena caught sight of the man staring at her, she blurted, “Forget it. I know you’re a guest as


    well. Since my cousin is getting married, I won’t settle the score with you.”
