Chapter 185


    He was not interested in dancing at all, but he had to dance with Paisley since she helped Hayden


    before.


    During the whole dance, William''s mind was not present, and it got worse when he saw Valeria and


    Hardy dancing.


    Paisley could tell he was distracted and she asked, "Do you have something on your mind?"

    "Nah!" he shook his head.


    Since he didn''t want to say anything, Paisley couldn''t pester him about it.


    She noticed that Hardy and Valeria were dancing well together and she couldn''t help butugh, "Miss


    Brown dances so well.My brother really likes her a lot."


    "Hm?"William''s brows furrowed slightly.


    Paisley noticed his frown and she was reminded of his conversation with Valeria just now.She smiled


    and exined.


    "My brother has never been so attentive to girls before, let alone inviting them to dance.Miss Brown is


    an exception for him."


    William had a good impression of Paisley, who was gentle, polite, and smart, but he was extremely


    unhappy when he heard what she had said.


    Paisley seemed to not sense his displeasure and continued to speak.


    "In order to get close to Miss Brown, not only did he work with her father, but he also specially


    appointed her as a designer for twopanies and arranged her office to be next to his.She seems to


    like my brother very much as well.I think their rtionship will develop very fast"


    After hearing Paisley''s words, William nced in the direction of Valeria and smiled gently, "I hope


    things will go his way!" He said it so nonchntly, and the malice in his eyes had also disappeared


    completely.


    Paisley was stunned.She had been worried that William might have feelings for Valeria.


    However, after seeing his expression, she felt that she was overthinking things.


    She was so beautiful, talented, and came from a well-off family.


    How could William not choose her over Valeria? After the song ended, William let go of Paisley.


    She was a little reluctant to let him go because she hoped that he would invite her to dance again.


    Since he didn''t say anything, she did not have the nerve to ask him again.


    The music started again.


    When she was about to say something, Marcus walked over and said courteously, "Would you like to


    dance with me, Miss Anthony?"


    Marcus represented Wolf Group, and Paisley did not dare to reject him, so she smiled and agreed.She


    went back to the dance floor with him and saw William heading to the table without hesitation.


    He didn''t care about her at all, which made her heart feel empty.


    William sat down and waved to the waiter serving sses of wine.


    After the waiter brought the ss of wine to him, he took a sip.


    A mocking smile shed across his face.


    Did Paisley find out what he was thinking about Valeria? That was why she deliberately told him so


    many things about Valeria and Hardy in front of him.


    He was actually furious when he was listening to her.


    However, when he thought that Paisley might have said all of that just because she saw through his


    feelings for Valeria, he suppressed his anger.


    He was very angry about Valeria and Hardy''s rtionship, but it didn''t mean that others could use him.


    His eyes nced over at Valeria and Hardy who were still dancing, and he narrowed his eyes and


    continued to drink.


    Paisley was not in the mood to dance with Marcus, but he seemed to be very interested in her.


    He was unsatisfied with dancing to one song with her, so they danced to three songs continuously.


    William sipped on his wine while looking at Valeria and Hardy on the dance floor.


    Soon, Richard came over and sat across from him.


    "There will be a talent show tonight.” Abbie said that Valeria is really good at Latin dance and ying


    the piano, so she might performter!


    "Is that so?" William replied calmly.


    "Don''t you want to stir things up? You don''t have to pretend in front of me.I can see that your feelings


    for Valeria have not changed at all"


    "Seriously? You can tell?"


    "It''s not just me, I think that Paisley can see it too.After all, you were so distracted when you were with


    her, even when she was all dressed up.Something is obviously wrong, isn''t it?"


    "So?"


    "So, you should do something for the talent showter.Just for the sake of it!"


    "We''ll see? William replied calmly.After the sixth song was finished, the music stopped, and the emcee


    of the party appeared on the dance floor.


    "Dear guests, good evening! The next event of the evening is the talent show.Guests who are attending


    the party are more than weed to perform.In fact, I hope that the guests will participate in it.By the


    way, Mr.Anthony has also specially prepared some big prizes.Thedies’ first prize is thetest Hermes


    handbag, while the first prize for the gentlemen is a Rolex.Lastly, the first prize for the couples is a


    Patek Philippe couples watch!"


    The people who attended the party were either rich or noble.


    Other than Ashley and Mason, nobody else was interested in the prizes.


    However, they enjoyed the atmosphere.


    The host began to talk about the rules and conditions of the talent show.


    The participants could perform anything with any one of their choices.


    At the end of the performance, everyone at the party would vote, and the participants with the highest


    votes would win.


    Valeria did not want to take part in the show, but Abbie had been encouraging her.


    "Why don''t you want to participate? You might even win without even trying! Even if it wasn''t for the


    prize, you should perform to spite William.Didn''t he abandon you for Miss full- of- talent-Anthony? You


    should show him your talents too and make him regret!"


    "He won''t regret anything!"


    Valeria nced at William.


    Seeing Paisley standing next to him as he smiled gently at whatever she was saying, Valeria instantly


    felt unhappy.


    Even if she went to perform, what about it? William''s mind waspletely focused on Paisley, so she


    shouldn''t waste her energy on him.


    Valeria didn''t want to perform at all, but Abbie already signed her up without her consent.


    She didn''t know about it until the host announced her name toe on stage.


    Sheined to Abbie, "Abbie, I''m already in a bad mood.


    You just want me to make a fool out of myself, don''t you?"


    "You won''t make a fool out of yourself.I have confidence in you.Cheer up! Show William what you can


    do!"


    At this point, there was no way for her to refuse, so she changed the piano performance to a pipa.
