Chapter 24


    Chapter 24 Ryan Invites Clerra to Dance


    When Draven received the photo, he was driving.


    Draven nced at his phone while waiting at the traffic lights. Noticing the nonsensical words, he


    picked up his phone.


    Then, Draven could not move his eyes away.


    The old signboard that was filled with a sense of age was surrounded by neon lights. A woman wearing


    an old–fashioned dress stepped in the light and shadow with her high heels, looking exceedingly


    fascinating and charming. On her shoulders, there was a ck suit, and the woman held the man


    beside her with her slender white arm. It was like a movie poster from old times.


    Even though the photo was taken a little far away and only half of the woman’s delicate face could be


    vaguely seen, one could still recognize who the woman was at a nce.


    Not to mention that the man the woman was holding was the one Draven had beaten up not long ago.


    That was the president of XR Entertainment, William Barton.


    How could William actually take Cierra to that kind of ce? Draven thought.


    Draven stared at the photo and didn’t notice that the traffic lights had turned green.


    The cars behind Draven urged desperately, and someone even got out of the car and knocked on


    Draven’s window.


    Draven turned a deaf ear to that and directly called Ryan back. Then Draven turned the steering wheel


    with a livid face and drove straight in another direction.


    “Cierra is at Ninth Club?”


    As soon as the call was connected, Draven asked, gnashing his teeth.


    Ryan also followed Cierra in at this time, his eyes following the outline of the beautiful figure. It seemed


    as if he could not see the crowd around him that was swaying with the lights and music.


    Ryan asked for a ss of wine, and said casually, “Is there anything wrong with your eyes? Can’t you


    recognize the usual ce we hang in?”


    It is not like Draven has never been to Ninth Club before, Ryan thought.


    It wasn’t that Draven didn’t recognize the ce, but he still had thest bit of hope that William would


    still have some conscience and wouldn’t take Cierra to such a ce.


    Now that Draven heard the deafening noise over there, he drove even faster.


    “Keep an eye on Cierra.”


    “Don’t worry, you don’t have to tell me.“”


    Ryan shook his wine ss and suddenly thought of something-


    “Draven, why are you suddenly concerned about Cierra? Haven’t you always thought that she was


    annoying? Now that you’re divorced, you even called me to help you investigate her life overseas. Now


    you even ask me to keep an eye on her. What’s the matter with you?”


    Draven didn’t bother to argue with Ryan. Instead, Draven reminded Ryan in a cold voice, “I haven’t


    divorced Cierra yet. In the name ofw, she is still my wife.”


    Ryan said earnestly, “Draven, you can’t have it both ways. Anyway, you are going to marry Aleah. How


    about divorcing Cierra as soon as possible so that I will have a chance to chase after Cierra…”


    Before Ryan could finish his words, Draven had already hung up.


    Ryan clicked his tongue lightly and looked up again, only to find the beautiful figure near the bar


    counter had already disappeared.


    The colorful light and shadows above the dance pool were dazzling, and the noisy stereo sound made


    people sway uncontrobly.


    Cierra followed behind William, shuttling through the crowd and stopping by a booth. “The man should


    not be able to find me now. He is still on the phone.”


    Cierra asked for a ss of wine and nced in Ryan’s direction.


    Having been tailed many times abroad, Cierra had a keen eye for people’s gazes. She noticed


    someone staring at her when she was photographed secretly in the doorway.


    With a cold face, William took Cierra’s wine away and put it back on the bartender’s tray. “Get her a


    ss of milk”


    The bartender was stunned. He nodded and turned around with the tray.


    The people nearby also heard what William said and turned around to have a look


    Cierra blushed from being stared at. She couldn’t help but kick William on his calf. “… William, you


    brought me to the bar to drink milk?”


    William squinted at Cierra. “You want to drink?”


    Cierra shrank her neck and looked towards the dance floor. “… I want to dance, too.”


    William didn’t say anything this time. Instead, he chuckled, picked up a ss of wine, and sat down.


    The bar is full of disco music, and William believed no matter how mischievous Cici was, she would not


    run up dressed up like this because it was too embarrassing.


    and dance


    However, something was impossible to guard against.


    Cierra was indeed a person who knew what was proper for the asion. If Cierra had worn something


    else today, she might have rushed into the crowd at this moment. However, what she was wearing


    didn’t fit the mood, so she had no choice but to be


    an eye candy.


    Well… Cierra was an eye candy who was still holding a ss of milk.


    At this time, the deafening music on the dance floor suddenly stopped.


    Everyone was stunned. A momentter, a well–known ssic song sounded in this area.


    The decadent music from the saxophone was romantic and elegant, which waspatible with the


    swaying crowd and seemed


    to even add some charm.


    It was unknown when Ryan had found Cierra. Now Ryan stopped directly in front of Cierra, extending


    his hand to her like a


    gentleman.


    “Long time no see, Ms. Boyle. I was wondering if I might have the honor of dancing with you.”


    Cierra did not move, leaving the man in front of her to remain bent.


    “It has indeed been a long time since west met. I remember that you seem to have been abroad all


    this time. When did youe back, Mr. West?”


    Cierra remembered Ryan, Draven’s childhood friend.


    Before Aleah was back, Cierra was also a frequent participant in the parties of the aristocracy in her


    circle. At that time, she was quite acquainted with Ryan.


    Butter on, Cierra was excluded from this kind of social life. And Cierra happened to be in her teens at


    that time and it was the time for her to establish her circle of friends and the values of life. Cierra, who


    had been pushed out, naturally didn’t have contact with those young masterster.


    “It has only been two days since I returned. I was just hanging around and it was quite a coincidence


    that I met you.”


    Ryan did not get angry after being treated like this. He still had that yful smile on his face, showing


    his temperament as a


    dandy.


    “I haven’t seen you for so many years. Why don’t we catch up on the old days together, Cici?”


    As soon as Ryan finished speaking, Cierra still didn’t say anything. However, at the side, William had


    already raised his eyes and coldly swept his gaze over.


    How could Ryan actually call Cierra Cici? William thought.


    Ryan also noticed William’s sharp gaze and looked over.


    But before Ryan could even meet eye to eye with William, Ryan’s vision was blocked by Cierra who


    had gotten up.


    “I’m ttered that you still remember the nickname I got more than ten years ago, Mr. West. It seems


    that I have to dance with you.”


    Cierra raised her hand and ced it on Ryan’s broad palm.


    The suit on Cierra’s shoulder thus fell. Cierra picked it up with another hand and threw it to William.


    With her lips curved, Cierra called William intimately and said in a yful way which might cause some


    misunderstanding, “Honey, I’ll catch up with my old friend first. I’lle backter.”


    After Cierra finished speaking, she ignored William’s dark face and followed Ryan to the center of the


    dance floor.


    The handsome man and beautiful woman caused amotion in the crowd.


    Ryan had gone abroad since he graduated from high school and had only asionally returned. The


    girlfriends he had slept with in the past few years were all foreign girls who were quite open. And in


    Ryan’s eyes, those girls were nothingpared with the reserved ssical beauty in front of him.


    Ryan’srge palmnded on Cierra’s slender waist, and he did not even dare to exert any force. Even


    Ryan’s dance steps were half a beat slow.


    “You seem to be a little out of practice, Mr. West.”


    Cierra suddenly looked up.


    Ryan only felt his palm burning. He lowered his eyes to stare at Cierra’s ck hair and coughed lightly.


    “It has indeed been a long time since I danced.”


    Cierra curved her lips. “It doesn’t matter. I haven’t danced for a long time either. When I was abroad, I


    took sses and worked part–time, and I didn’t have time to practice dancing. Besides, there was no


    need.”


    Cierra did not know if Ryan had investigated her. Cierra’s life records abroad were all made up by


    Harold. Others might not be able to find anything, but Ryan was an exception.

    Cierra thought since Ryan had already returned, it was very likely that he often hung out with Draven…


    Cierra nced over Ryan’s shoulder with cold eyes, and she saw a familiar figure walking towards her


    from afar.


    *Cierra suddenly took a wrong step and twisted her foot, her petite body falling straight into Ryan’s


    arms.


    And that hot palm also uncontrobly slid down towards Cierra’s waist.


    Below the stage, Draven got furious and his face darkened.
