Chapter 395


    Night fell, and the Moon Lake Manor was glittering with lights. Countless celebrities and big shots were


    gathered there. Many luxury cars made their way into the majestic manor, one by one.


    The Moon Lake Manor seemed like a location for an upper-ss vanity fair.


    Holding Eliana’s arm cheerfully, Harriet entered the hall.


    The venue was busting with big shots from all walks of life, but the host of the banquet, Maurice, had


    not arrived yet.


    The moment Eliana and Harriet walked into the hall, everyone was smitten with Eliana’s sexiness.


    When the male guests noticed that she did not have a date, their desires became almost unbridled.


    As Eliana felt their hungry zing eyes on her back, her face began to pale.


    Though Harriet was delighted to see that, she tried tofort her, “Eliana, don’t me Mr. Moran. He


    has been busy with work for a few days now. And this is how the corporate world is.”


    Eliana slowly forced herself to calm down and said with a wry smile, “Well, I used toe from a


    wealthy business family, too, but my dad cared about my mom so much that he never once let her face


    such an embarrassing situation on her own. People are supposed to be with the ones they really care


    about. In Maurice’s eyes, I am just not that important.”


    Harriet was surprised by her words, and did not know how to respond for a moment.


    “Miss Stone, don’t worry about me. Go and socialize. Enjoy your evening.” With that, Eliana resolutely


    pulled her arm away from Harriet’s and looked at her nkly.


    Harriet was rendered speechless.


    The male guests who were smitten with Eliana slowly began to approach her in hopes of osting her.


    “Hello gorgeous, I’m Bagot Calderon, the deputy CEO of the Hantern Group. May I know your name?”


    “Hi lovelydy, I am the CEO of the Sheen Group…”


    “Ma’am…”


    Several men surrounded Eliana, introducing themselves to her one by one, while Harriet, who was


    standing right beside her, waspletely ignored.


    Harriet was the daughter of the Stone family, and had never been ignored by men in her entire life, so


    she was naturally outraged.


    Were those men blind?


    Eliana was not a young seductress! She probably had a loose vagina from giving birth to two kids! How


    could those men still want her?


    After what happenedst time, Harriet had found that Eliana was the mother to two kids, but she also


    knew that was not enough to change Maurice’s strong feelings towards her.


    Hence, she had no choice but to create more conflicts between them.


    An idea popped into Harriet’s mind. She deliberately grabbed Eliana’s hand and announced loudly,


    “Everyone, this beautifuldy next to me is Eliana Pierce. She is a famous jewelry designer from the


    Moran Group, who is young, promising, and still single.”


    The male guests immediately understood what she meant and began to work harder.


    However, Eliana frowned deeply.


    What on earth did Harriet want?


    Eliana felt ufortable, sensing that Harriet was selling her to those men like some item at an


    auction.


    Harriet’s loud voice was barely fading away when a gentle and polite young man walked up to them.


    Looking at Eliana with a smile, he reached out his hand.


    “Miss Pierce, may I have the honor of dancing with you?”


    “I’m sorry, mister, but I can’t dance.”


    The moment Harriet heard her polite refusal, she immediately put Eliana’s hand in the man’s.


    “Of course, you can!” said Harriet with a smile, looking at Eliana. “You are at a banquet, Eliana. You


    should be having a good time, right?”


    Although Eliana was unwilling, the man still held her hand, and just when she was about to pull out her


    hand, the music started.


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    The man dragged her into the dancing floor, forcing her to dance with him, even though she did not


    want to.


    Taking a deep breath, Eliana tried to recall the dance moves she had learned before.


    Since it had been many years since shest danced, her moves were a little awkward at first, but soon,


    she began to dance beautifully.


    “Miss Pierce, you are being too modest. You dance so well! We work so well together. I wonder if we


    can work so well in other aspects…”


    As he continued to stare at Eliana’s beautiful face in amazement, he couldn’t resist the temptation to


    reach out and rub her waist gently.
