Chapter 219 Passionate Dance (Part One)
"AJ Group has dominated the film and television industry for over ten years. Obviously, its
achievements are known to all. For the 10th anniversary, Mr. William Lan, the CEO of AJ Group,
has invited celebrities from all walks of life to gather together in this grand event. Luckily, our
reporters are fortunate to get in and do on-site interviews."
"The 10th anniversary celebration of AJ Group is held in a European style manor in the city. Long
red carpet lined the entrance of the castle. Stay tuned with our entertainment channel. At six o''clock
tonight, we will broadcast the red carpet show exclusively for you. The stars are shining now. What
are you waiting for?"
"I saw Dad!" Elissa excitedly pointed to a person''s figure passing by on the TV. "Alick, did you see
him? Over there!"
"Yes, I did." Alick nodded.
Hearing the two children call William their dad easily, Barry felt sad and frustrated. However, he
could not disagree with them. It was true after all.
"Dad is so handsome!" Elissa eximed while jumping excitedly. "But Daddy Barry is more
handsome!" Alick disagreed.
"Ha ha!" Barry came back to his senses at once. He turned and said to the two kids, "Daddy Barry
is going to be on TV tonight too!"
"Really?" Alick ran to Barry and said, "Daddy Barry is going to be on TV with such elegant clothes!"
"Daddy Barry, why don''t you take me with you?" Elissa also ran to Barry and yed cute. "I also
want to be on TV!"
"No way!" Mary had juste out of the bedroom on the second floor. She was walking downstairs
when she overheard Barry and the kids'' conversation. "Alick and Elissa, you both need to stay at
home tonight."
The three people downstairs all gazed at her.
Mary was wearing a white knee-length strapless dress. The delicatece set off her white and
slender legs, and her perfect vicles were exposed. Her figure was curved and chic, like a fairy
falling to the mortal world. There was no extra decorations on her head. She just simply coiled up
her ck hair, but it was enough to make her look both elegant and extraordinary.
"Mommy is so beautiful!" Elissa was stunned at her mother''s beauty and she could not keep her
eyes off Mary.
"Thank you for your praise, Elissa!" Mary walked down the stairs gracefully.
"Mommy is so beautiful!" Alick could not help but praise her too.
"Thank you, Alick!" Mary smiled. Her face contained shyness of a girl as well as maturity of a
woman.
As Barry looked at her simple but eye-catching dress, his heart ached. How could he give up such a
wonderful woman?
"Daddy Barry is so stunned. Hee hee!" Elissa approached her brother andughed.
"Haha!" Alick covered his mouth and giggled, and then he hugged his sister.

"You two," muttered Mary with a red face, "how do two kids know so much?"
"It means that Elissa is smart." Barry stood up from the couch and said with a smile, "What Elissa
said is right. I''m stunned. You have always been beautiful, Mary."
Barry was dressed in a ck suit, and his blue tie looked a little nifty. Without any decorations, his
perfect figure was obvious.
Mary, still blushing, said, "Thank you for thepliment, Mr. Gu."
"Ha ha!"
Ring! Ring! Barry''s phone suddenly rang and he picked it up on the second ring. "Hello?"
"Mr. Gu, the car has been parked outside the vi. When will youe out?" Cooper''s voice came
through the phone.
"We''ll be out soon."
"Okay, sir."
"Mary, it''s time for us to go," said Barry while raising his eyebrows at Mary.
"Okay." Mary nodded at him. "Alick, Elissa, stay at home tonight. Don''t go out. There are bad people
outside. Wait for Mommy toe back!"
"Humph!" Elissa pouted. "But it''s so boring to stay at home!"
"You can read books with Alick." Mary teased Elissa on purpose. "Alick has a good taste in books.
You should learn from your brother, understand?"
"No, I don''t. I want to y games!" Elissa turned her head away, and frowned.
"Haha!" Maryughed at her daughter''s stubbornness.
"Let''s go. Goodbye, Alick and Elissa! Take care! Alick, take care of your little sister while your
mommy''s away." Barry said goodbye to them one by one and walked out of the vi with Mary.
"Good evening, sir and madam." Several bodyguards guarded the door. Seeing the twoe out,
they greeted Mary and Barry quickly.
"Evening," said Barry. "Keep an eye on the two little fellows. Don''t make any mistakes."
"Yes, sir."
In AJ Building.
Wearing a long white dress, Beth rushed to the CEO''s office.
William was about to leave and he was shocked at her sudden appearance. He asked while
frowning, "Who let youe in?"
"Ouch!" Beth leaned her body against William innocently. "Didn''t you promise me that you would
take me to the red carpet on the 10th anniversary?"
Hearing that, William was stunned. It seemed that he had said something like that, but that was
before Mary had returned.
"Mr. Lan, you haven''te to see me for such a long time!" Beth touched William''s chest with her
soft and slender hand, and continued, "So I came to see you by myself."
"Haven''t I told you not toe to me again?" William threw her hands away and said coldly, "Find
someone else to walk with you on the red carpet tonight, or you can walk by yourself." "What about
you, Mr. Lan?" Beth rubbed her wrist and added, "Who are you going with?"
"You ask too much." With his eyes narrowed, William turned around and walked out of the office.
Beth stood alone in the office, her delicate nails digging in her hands. It was painful but she could
not feel the pain.
"Boss," said Virgil as soon as he saw William walking out of the office, "the car is ready. We can
leave whenever you want."
"Okay," William answered. With a darkened face, he unbuttoned his suit, took off his coat and threw
it aside. "Give me an exact same coat. Hurry up."
"Well." Virgil opened his mouth in reluctance, but he just nodded. "Okay, I''ll do it right now."
Wearing only a shirt, William went downstairs. Tonight, Mary was going to attend the party as the
manager of GM Universing Studios. Her malepanion was naturally Barry. William felt pitiful
being alone. How about taking Lucas with him to walk on the red carpet?
Outside the manor, the reporters had already crowded the entrance.
On the red carpet, celebrities and guests frommerce and the entertainment industries walked
gracefully with smiles. shes of the cameras illuminated the red carpet. As soon as Mary got out
of the car arm in arm with Barry, amotion broke out among the reporters. The two walked along
the red carpet with faint smile. As soon as they stood in the middle of the red carpet, they saw a
cool Lincoln limousine driving to the front of the red carpet.
"It''s Mr. Lan! Mr. Lan is here!"
"Mr. Lan arrived by himself again!"
Hearing the undisguised discussions of the reporters, Mary did not know whether she should be
grateful or helpless.
"Let''s go!" Turning to Barry, Mary added, "We can''t steal the limelight from the host."
"That''s exactly what I thought." Barry stretched out his hand and made a "please" gesture. The two
walked slowly into the manor.
William got off the car and his tall figure beamed under the spotlight. His dark blue suit was well
trimmed, making him look mature and evil.
"No wonder he is the most charming golden bachelor in A City. As the host, Mr. Lan attracted a lot
of cheers. But this time, he walked the red carpet alone, which really is surprising,"
A reporter broadcasted the red carpet event live in front of the camera.
As William looked at the two figures in the distance, a sudden sullen feeling rose in the bottom of
his heart. He came here in a hurry, only to let Mary walk away.
In the hall of the manor, melodious music filled the guests'' ears as theyughed and toasted.
