Chapter 553


    At eight o''clock, Faye, who was wearing a beautiful purple-red dress, appeared at the entrance holding Frederick''s arm. There was a faint wave of interest in the banquet hall. Once he entered the room, he took a ss of red wine. He stood with one hand holding the ss throughout the event. Dressed in ck, he radiated a chilling aura that threatened anyone who got close.


    On the other hand, guests came to greet them right after they came in.


    After greeting the guests, Faye put down the ss she was holding and was about to dance with Frederick. Suddenly, a few gorgeous women came up to them. Forcing a smile, she took another ss of red wine.


    At this point, several women appeared in front of them. They greeted Frederick, trying to get close to him.Property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    "I''ve heard a lot about you, Mr. Clements. It''s my honor to meet you today."


    "Faye, you look radiant tonight. You''re more delicate than a flower. Oh, is this the newest version of Master David''s ''Super D''? Owning a prestigious brand is the next level. I''m so jealous!"


    "I know, right? The perfect couple for the perfect night. You two are the centre of attention."


    The three women who came over chatted while Frederick swirled his wine ss lightly. He watched as they ttered each other, and he knew they were actually making fun of each other in their hearts.


    After talking for a while, the woman in the middle who was wearing a white deep V dress seemed to be smiling. She suddenly changed the subject. "Mr. Clements, I haven''t congratted you on your marriage yet. Aren''t you worried that Mrs. Clements will be unhappy that you left her alone?" The woman''s voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just enough for everyone to hear. Moreover, from the corner of her eyes, it was obvious that she was looking at Faye. The corner of her mouth raised slightly, mixed with a little bit of jealousy and disdain. She took the opportunity to raise her ss and flick her hair toward her chest at the same time. She squeezed her breast so that her cleavage could clearly be seen, which took a lot of effort.


    She took the lead. At the same time, the woman in a blue miniskirt added.


    "Mrs. Clements must be a beautiful and open-minded woman that she managed to draw your attention. She must be quite something." She turned to her friend and said, "Now, you worry too much. Don''t you see that Mr. Clements is still wearing his wedding ring? Clearly, Mr. Clements loves Mrs. Clements, and no one can rece her, right?"


    These words slightly eased Frederick''s pain. He clenched the wine ss more tightly, but he didn''t deny it. At this time, Faye''s face turned pale. She was nothing.


    Sure enough, beautiful women always had rivals.


    Faye hoped that Frederick would say something, even if it was out of politeness. Therefore, her gaze unconsciously turned to him. She did not know that his silence was for her sake. Even if Alicia was gone, he would not deny that in fact, no one could rece her ever. They were nobodypared to her.


    Just as everyone''s attention was fixed on him, he looked at the ss in his hand, seemingly absentminded.


    Seeing this, Faye became more aware of the situation she was put in. At this moment, she spoke in a natural tone.


    "That''s for sure. Mrs. Clements is irreceable. It''s my greatest honor to be your friend. Mr.


    Clements, shall we dance?"


    With a smile on her face, Faye nced at them from the corner of her eyes. She raised one of her eyebrows. The meaning was clear. She was better than them.


    Frederick suddenly came to his senses and was pleased with her answer. He put down his ss and said, "Hmm."


    Then, they walked to the dance floor. The three women behind looked at each other, feeling a little embarrassed, and then they left separately.


    At the door, Sebastian sent his assistant to pick Alicia up. The two talked as they walked in. When they passed by the banquet hall entrance, she inadvertently nced inside and happened to see the only dancing figure in the middle of the stage. Suddenly, she stopped.


    A televisionpany''s party?


    No wonder!


    Suddenly, a familiar teasing voice came from the corridor. "Are you serious? There''s going to be a good show tonight? You''re not lying, right?" "You''ll know when you go in."


    Carson and Chet!


    Aftering back to her senses, Alicia felt as if her blood had frozen for a moment. At this moment, there was a familiar voice at the back of her mind bringing her back from past events. Her heart ached.


    "Miss Swift? What''s wrong?"


    "I''m fine. It''s just that my shoes aren''tfortable. I''m okay now. Let''s go."


    "


    Without even daring to look back, she strode over to the banquet hall and quickly ran to the private room on the other side.


    When talking to Chet, he looked up. Carson was stunned for two seconds and even stopped walking.


    "What''s wrong?"


    When Chet followed his gaze and raised his head, the corridor was already empty.


    "What else can I do? I''ve been bewitched by you and your servants." Why did he also feel that she looked like Alicia when he saw her? Did he see a ghost?


    After talking with Chet for a while, Carson turned into the banquet hall.


    "Next time, don''te to me for this kind of thing. You always bring me trouble."


    The banquet progressed and was eventually in full swing. Slowly, the swaying figures in the crowd gave Frederick a headache. This made him a little agitated.


    He looked at his watch and found that 50 minutes had passed. When his eyes fell on Chet, he took a ss of wine and walked over. He was about to say hello to him before leaving.


    In the ballroom, almost everyone was chatting with each other. However, Danica was alone in the crowd. Frederick did not notice that someone in the crowd was looking at him.


    "Chet!"


    Just as he was about to walk to Chet''s side, all of a sudden, there was the sound of thunderp. A woman grabbed his hand.


    "Sir, please save me!"


    Then, the woman hid behind him. A fat man covered his lower body with his hands, and rushed over with sweat and anger.


    "Hey, don''t run, b*tch! You stole my emerald buckle and kicked my d*ck. I''m not done with you. Drag her out!"


    "I didn''t! It was you who tried to take advantage of me!"


    With Frederick in her arms, the woman cried and said, "Sir, please help me. Don''t let him take me away!"


    The woman grabbed his hand


    tightly. He thought her beautiful face


    looked somewhat familiar yet


    foreign at the same time. At this time, because of themotion, the music stopped and the atmosphere was tense. There were two men behind the man, but they all stopped in ce. It became a tough situation all of the sudden.


    In an instant, everyone''s attention focused on him.
