Chapter 158 Wee Party
SY Guild Hall, thergest garden-style business center in A City, was about to hold a wee party
for GM Universing Studios today and would invite sessful people from all walks of life.
The periphery of the open-air garden had been surrounded by reporters, who upied the best
shooting location since this morning.
In one of the rooms of the guild hall, Mary walked around wearing a long pastel pink dress. The long
hemline of the dress casually spread across the soft carpet of the room. Her long curly hair tucked
neatly on her shoulder and her face was painted with delicate makeup. She looked beautiful.
"Wow, Mommy you''re so pretty!" Wearing the same dress as her mother, Elissa raised her head and
gawked at her mother in surprise.
"Really?" Mary smiled as she squatted down slightly and touched her little face. "You''re also very
pretty! Just like Mommy!"
"Mommy and Elissa are both very beautiful!" Elissa smiled and tugged on the bow that was
wrapped around her waist.
"But..." Mary said as she stood up and turned her head to the designer beside her. "Isn''t pink a bit
young? I''m a mother of two children. Don''t you think it''s off-putting for me to wear pink?" "How
come? It looks beautiful on you!"
Before the designer could open her mouth, she heard Barry''s voiceing from the door. Hearing
this, Mary turned around abruptly.
Barry had also dressed up today. He wore an all ck suit with his bangs swaying in the breeze
asionally. He gazed at Mary and smiled.
He held Alick''s hand on his left. Alick was also dressed in a ck tuxedo, with a red bow knot
around his neck. His hair was slicked back and he stood calmly beside Barry.
"What do you think, Alick?"
"Yes." Alick nodded. "Mommy is very beautiful!"
"Alick is also very handsome!" Mary smiled. Looking at her son''s delicate face, she immediately
thought of William.
Oh! All of a sudden, Mary realized that William would also be attending.
"Barry," Mary whispered. Seeing that the two kids had run off towards the mirror and unted their
outfits. "Today... He''ll be here, too. I think its best that they both stay inside, okay?"
"Don''t worry." Barry stepped forward and gently stroked her hair. "I''ve nned everything."
"... Okay." Mary nodded. Since the two of them had known each other for long, as long as he said
the right words, Mary wouldn''t need to keep her guard up. This time was no exception.
"Well, let''s go." Barry stretched out his arm and gestured to Mary. She dly took his arm and
smiled.
"Alick, Elissa, stay here and wait for Daddy and Mommy. I''ll take you out to yter, okay?"
"Yes, I know!"
"Mommy, Daddy Barry,e back soon!"
Barry nodded with a smile. He waved his hand to call the two bodyguards and told them to take
good care of the two children. He then went out with Mary to greet the guests.
In the garden, guests arrived one after another.
Lucas arrived earlier than the rest. He was alone. He wore a white suit and was taking in the
breeze.
"Mr. Gu, Manager Lu, congrattions!" Lucas raised his eyebrows as he leaned closer. "What do
you think? Did I arrive on time?"
"Humph," Barry snorted. "You didn''t need toe."
"What? No way!"

"Lucas, why are you wearing white again? Haven''t you worn enough white in the hospital? You look
like an angel in white." Mary giggled. "What? Doesn''t it look good on me?" Lucas smiled.
"It does. You look good." Mary nodded.
"I knew it..." Lucas raised his head proudly. "Mary, you look stunning today."
As he spoke, he gave her a side hug. Barry red at Lucas as if he was going to eat Lucas alive.
"Okay, I''m going to find Alick and Elissa now." Ignoring Barry''s re, Lucas strode into the guild
hall.
Mary and Barry were busy greeting other guests. "Hello, Mr. Zhao..."
"Ah, Manager Feng, long time no see..."
"What a perfect match!"
Apanied by the shuttering of cameras, the shes lit up the darkening sky like daylight.
Suddenly, there was a bigmotion at the entrance.
"Oh my God! Look! Look! It''s Mr. Lan!"
"The CEO of AJ Group. A tycoon in the film and television industry. He actually came to the
wee party of his opponent!"
"It must be out of respect!" "Hurry up! Take pictures! Mr. Lan didn''t bring a femalepanion this
time!"
"Really! Shoot! That''s big news! Mr. Lan didn''t bring a woman with him this time!"
Mary was stunned when she heard William''s name.
In the ck Maserati, William got out of the car suavely. The dark blue suit was tailor made to fit him
perfectly.
A faint smile appeared in the corners of William''s mouth. His deep eyes stared off in the distance,
like he was looking for someone. He looked like an emperor and everyone around him seemed to
worship his presence.
"Boss!" Virgil stepped out of the car behind him and stood beside William.
"Okay." William nodded slightly and walked forward.
"Mr. Lan, can you answer a few questions? Why didn''t you bring a femalepanion this time?"
"Yes, Mr. Lan. Where is Beth?"
They bombarded William with one question after another. His face grew darker with every buzzing
question. His eyes were subconsciously locked on Mary as she stood in the distance.
Pretending not to hear the buzzing of the crowd, Mary continued greeting the guests with a smile.
"Okay, okay, dear journalists! Mr. Lan was invited to the dinner party today. It''s not the right time and
ce to answer such questions. I''m sorry," Virgil quickly said to the journalists.
William''s face was stern as he turned around and took a few steps to stand in front of Mary, staring
at her with his looming figure.
"Mr. Lan." Barry subconsciously stood in front of Mary. He stepped forward and reached out his
hand. "It''s nice to meet you."
Hearing that, William stopped looking at Mary and stared at Barry. He stretched out his hand slowly.
"Mr. Gu, nice to meet you too."
They shook hands.
Two tall and handsome men stared intently at each other.
"Mr. Lan, GM Universing Studios will station in A City. I hope you don''t mind giving me more advice
on it!"
"Oh, you''re too humble! I''ve heard that you''re a very powerful man. I''ll be sure to learn a lot from
you!"
The two of them chatted casually with smiles on their faces.
However, Mary could feel the tense atmosphere. The two men seemed to be chatting, but deep
down, it was apetition. "Ah, I''m sorry to have troubled you. Taking care of Mary these past four
years must''ve been hard! " Suddenly, William''s mouth curled up into a sly smile. His eyes stared
coldly at Barry.
Mary shot him a sharp nce. She was startled by William''s brazen choice of words.
"I don''t understand what you mean, Mr. Lan. Mary is my woman. Isn''t it my duty to take care of
her?" Barry said, as he looked at Mary affectionately.
Mary looked at Barry. Her eyes wide and mouth slightly agape.
Hearing that, William squinted his eyes. The atmosphere suddenly grew heated. His woman?
"Mary!"
In the distance, Victor entered through the gate followed by Ena.
Ena was wearing a cute white bubble skirt as she stood next to Victor. They looked very well
matched.
"Victor, you''ve arrived! Ena, you look gorgeous today!" Mary let out a sigh of relief.
"Mary, you look fantastic!"
After ncing at William, Victor reached out his hand. "Mr. Lan, long time no see."
"Yeah, long time no see." William shook hands with him with a serious look on his face.
"Mary," Victor said with a smile, "you must dance with meter."
"Okay." Mary nodded but felt the intense gazes of both William and Barry.
"Then let''s head inside." Victor took Ena and led her to the party.
"Mr. Lan, please!" Barry stretched out his hand and invited William toe in.
"Mary. Be my femalepanion for tonight." William ignored Barry and kept his eyes focused on
Mary.
"Mr. Lan." Mary took a deep breath. "Tonight is the dinner party of ourpany. I''m Mr. Gu''s female
companion."
"You should just do as I say." William lowered his head and suddenly caressed Mary''s face. "You
can''t escape."
Mary was stunned. ''What does he mean?
Why is he trying to get me back? What could he gain from this? William, I won''t be cheated by you
again...''
Looking at the absent-minded Mary, Barry suddenly held her hand tightly.
At night, the lights inside and outside the halls shone brightly. The music yed throughout hall with
its melodious beat echoing.
With a wine ss in his hand, William shook the dark red liquid in the ss gently. Through it, his
eyes closely followed the light pink figure in the hall.
"Mr. Lan, why are you here alone?" Suddenly, a coquettish woman came over. Her sexy skin tight
dress seemed to draw everyone''s attention. "You haven''t visited metely!"
"Ha ha..." A sinister smile appeared on William''s face. Before he could finish speaking, he saw Mary
look in his direction.
Mary nced at William casually and saw the beautiful woman approach him. ''As expected, he
couldn''t stay idle for even a moment.'' Mary then turned her head.
"Damn it!"
Noticing Mary''s line of sight, William cursed under his breath. How could he be seen by Mary at this
time?
"Mr. Lan..." the woman called in a seductive voice.
"Fuck off!" William sneered at her.
The woman was stunned. She stomped her feet as she turned around and left.
After cursing himself under his breath, William drank up the wine in his ss. He then stood up and
walked towards Mary.
Ring, ring, ring...
Jill came over with Mary''s phone in her hand. "Manager, someone''s calling you."
"Okay." Mary picked up the phone. "Hello? What is it?"
"Come and pick me up." There was azy voice on the other end of the line. The person smiled
hazily.
"No." Mary''s voice was cold. "If you want toe here, then youe here by yourself."
"I knew it! I knew you were heartless." The man scorned.
Bye."
Mary smiled and hung up the phone. As soon as she handed it back to Jill, she saw the door of the
hall open abruptly. A tall figure stood outside the door.
