Chapter 131


    Sharon found that Stanley was quite addicted to smoking as he could often be seen smoking.


    She used to dislike men who smoke, feeling those men disregarded their health, but when Stanley


    was smoking, he looked particrly attractive and charming as he stood under the dim night light


    like one of the scenes in the movie.


    Tall and alluring, he stood outside the car window, wearing an expensive and elegant suit, exerting


    mature masculinity physically. This kind of masculine charm was simply irresistible.


    One nce was enough to melt her heart.


    Sharon covered her flushed cheek, pressed her thumping chest, licked her dry lips, and secretly


    cursed herself for being in a daze after watching the man.


    "Bang." Stanley knocked on the car window.


    Sharon looked up. Stanley''s ck eyes fell on her. "Come out."


    Sharon got off the car and asked, "Where are we going?"


    "There''s a banquet. We''ll go together..."


    Before he could finish, Sharon, who was halfway out of the car, suddenly shrank back.


    Stanley stared at her, astounded.


    Sharon gritted her teeth. "Why do you take me to the banquet? No, I don''t want to go!"


    If she was told that they woulde to such a public asion, she would note no matter what.


    Stanley''s phoenix eyes narrowed slightly as he flicked the cigarette between his fingers and


    stepped on it. "Are you noting down?"


    Sharon shook her head desperately. "No. I won''t go! I''m going home!"


    "Sharon Cruz!"


    "I don''t care. Be mad at me all you want, but I won''t go! You know that there must be a lot of


    reporters in this kind of ce, yet you have the nerve to actually take me here. I won''t go!" In the


    end, she simply made a scene.


    With a headache, he pinched his eyebrows andughed out of anger. "Who told you that there are


    reporters here?"


    "Huh?"


    There were no reporters?


    Sharon did not believe him. "How could such a banquet be..."


    "This is a private banquet. Only the prominent figures and noble family members are invited.


    Reporters are strictly prohibited!"


    Sharon was skeptical. "Really?"

    Stanley nced at her coldly. "If you don''t want to go in, you can go home."


    "Really?!"


    Hearing this, Sharon''s eyes lit up excitedly.


    Stanley nodded. "Go home then."


    Sharon immediately patted the back of the chair and said, "Anthony, please send me back..."


    "Anthony, hold a staff meeting tomorrow. The main agenda is to discuss with the staff what kind of


    mysterious figure their president''s wife is..."


    "Oh, my dear, I''m just kidding. Since we''vee, I have to get in then, right? Alright, let''s go. Are


    you sure there''s no reporter in there?"


    Sharon, who had just been in the car, now got out of the car at a very fast speed and directly took


    his arm, raising her small face, revealing a wide grin.


    Nevertheless, Sharon was cursing him, gnashing her teeth, and whining.


    How could he threaten her with this matter? How could he be so bad?


    Stanley nced at her lightly and then strode into the hall, ignoring her.


    Sharon pouted.


    What a petty man!


    Not long after the two of them entered, a car in the distance slowly passed by.


    Peter pulled over and turned off the engine. He looked at the back seat and said, "Young Master,


    we''re here."


    Shawn opened his eyes and nced at the woman beside him. He frowned and seemed to be


    unhappy.


    Peter looked away sheepishly. A plus- one waspulsory for the banquet, and Shawn asked him


    to arrange it, so he brought Miss Sharon... oh no, he brought Ayana along. As a result, Shawn had


    been rather distressed along the way.


    Ayana could read his emotions through his expression at a nce after being with him for so many


    years. She bit her lip and said, "It was me who asked Peter to take me here. If you don''t like it, I can


    ask Peter to take me home."


    Pushing open the car door, Shawn got out of the car and said lightly, "Since you''re here,


    let''s go in."


    Smiling, Ayana followed him out of the car and took his arm intimately.


    As they walked inside, Shawn said something to her. His voice was soft, but what he said made


    Ayana''s heart sink to rock bottom.


    "After attending this banquet, you will go back to Cresthill tomorrow. I can handle it here."


    Ayana tilted her head to look at the man beside her. His facial features were prominent and


    appealing; his eyes were dark, showing indifference and ruthlessness.


    Ayana lowered her eyes and put on a bitter smile.


    Had her life as a stand-in finallye to an end?


    However, she did not want to leave so soon.


    Sure enough, there was no reporter at the banquet. Since Sharon came in, she had never seen a


    camera, and her heart was finally at ease.


    As expected, it was a world of rich people. The banquet was luxurious and spacious. The two- story


    building was the venue for tonight. The scantily d men and women filled the venue, indulging in


    the wealthy and opulent atmosphere.


    If it weren''t for Stanley, Sharon wouldn''t have taken part in such a banquet for the rest of her life.


    He and she were not in the same world indeed.


    She had a somewhat upset feeling.


    Less than ten minutes after entering the door, the people who ttered Su Stanley began to


    surround him and quickly squeezed Sharon out of their way. She stood in a daze for a while,


    shaking her head andughing.


    She touched her stomach and felt hungry. She didn''t eat dinner, and her lunch was rather


    unsatisfying.


    She looked at Stanley who was taller than everyone else around him. He was talking to a middle-


    aged man. Sharon quietly moved to the side to get some food.


    The banquet provided a variety of main dishes and desserts. She assumed that the food here would


    not be very delicious, but she didn''t expect that they were exceptionally delectable and it was not


    worse than that of the high-end restaurant.


    Sharon realized that this trip was totally worth it.


    Stanley realized that Sharon disappeared after a short while, so he frowned and began to look for


    her. Lance, who was standing next to him, said in amusement, "Mr. Jones, are you looking for the


    lady whom you brought with you?"


    Stanley nced at him and said, "You have good eyes."


    Lanceughed and raised his hand to point in a direction. "Mr. Jones, since you personally brought


    her here, so I assumed she must be someone important and keep an eye on her. Please look over


    there."


    Looking in the direction he pointed, Stanley pursed his lips and then sighed with his hand on his


    forehead.


    What a glutton.


    On this kind of asion, most women would be making friends with influential figures, but she was


    concentrating on eating instead.


    "Thatdy is so cute and straightforward," Lance said, showing his eloquent side as an experienced


    businessman in the business world. "Your girlfriend is extraordinary. I''m impressed."


    Stanley said with a faint smile, "She''s not my girlfriend."


    "Oh?" Lance was dumbfounded. What was going on? Did he misjudge their rtionship? "Uh, Mr.


    Jones, I''m not..."


    "Lance, my rtionship with her is closer than that of a girlfriend."


    There was a faint smile on Stanley''s face. "You have guessed wrongly."


    Mr. Liu was shocked. What did he mean by that? Could it be...


    "Is she your fiancee?"


    The rtionship between a rich man and a woman was always full of mystery. Girlfriend was a


    variable but fiancee was a constant. She was likely to be the future Mrs. Jones!


    Stanley simply smiled and said nothing.


    Lance secretly cursed Stanley for being as sly as a fox for notmenting anything. How could he


    guess then?


    At this moment, Stanley''s eyes and thoughts werepletely out of his sight as he fixated his


    attention on the woman in the food area.


    Only from a distance did he realize how radiant she was.


    She turned her back to him, revealing the bareback. The fair and slender back was emphasized


    under the illumination. The red dress made her look like a ball of fire, attracting people''s attention.


    The hollow back design of the dress showed her sexy curves.


    Although she was very hungry, Sharon did not dare to eat too much as the dress was very tight-


    fitting that a little tummy could be seen. After eating something, she felt that her stomach was


    bulging.


    She was concentrating on the food but failed to notice that a pair of hateful eyes were fixed on her.


    Cecilia clenched her fists tightly. She could not believe that Sharon was here today.


    It was really a narrow road before a foe!


    "Lilian."


    Cecilia called herpanion and pointed to Sharon. "That is the woman I told you about."


    Lilian looked in the direction she pointed and narrowed her eyes. "Your half-sister? The one who


    gave you a nasty look in the hospitalst time and even pped you because of the support from


    her rich sugar daddy?"


    Cecilia sneered, "That''s her."


    "B*tch!"


    Lilian spat and casually picked up a ss of wine from the waiter''s tray. "Since we''re fated to meet,


    it doesn''t make sense if we don''t go to greet her."


    After that, they walked over, swaying.


    Sharon nned to go back to Stanley after satisfying her hunger. Before they came in, Stanley had


    told her not to wander around and stick to him closely because there would be many people at the


    banquet.


    She assumed that he should have finished talking to his mates, so she had better go to him and


    follow him around like a sensible plus-one.


    She turned around, and a sound resonated.


    She felt cold on her chest as there was cold liquid directly poured on her. The expensive and


    beautiful dress was suddenly ruined.


    Sharon let out a bitterugh. Indeed, Cindere could not have stayed at the banquet for too long or


    she would have been transformed back to her original appearance.


    "Oh, I''m so sorry."


    The sound of an apology rang out.


    Sharon thought that the other party was not intentional, so she shook her head and said, "It''s all


    right. It''s an ident."


    "Miss, you look quite unfamiliar. Is this your first time here?" the person who apologized just now


    said again.


    Sharon looked up and saw a woman in a strapless dress looking at her. Although there was a smile


    on her face, there was no apology in her eyes. All she could see was the smugness and


    comcence.


    She frowned.


    Did she get picked on?


    From the way the other party behaved, she didn''t seem to have identally collided with her.


    Sharon narrowed her eyes and nodded. "Yes, it''s my first time here. What can I do for you?"


    "No wonder."


    A sarcastic and disdainful female voice resonated. Cecilia stood out from behind Lilian and looked


    coldly at Sharon, who was in a mess. "You look like you have been starving for a long time. I


    thought a homeless beggar sneaked in here."


    Sure enough, she got picked on, and her opponents came in pair!


    Sharon looked at them coldly and pursed her lips.


    She was so unlucky that she could meet Cecilia here.


    Even if she didn''t provoke her, she would never let her go.


    Lilian sized Sharon up and was surprised to find that the dress Sharon was wearing was a limited


    edition haute couture dress. There


    were only a few in the world, and she wore one.
