Chapter 304: My Hair Bounds are a Bit Tight
"Selina. It''s all my fault, I…"
John interrupted Vivian''s sentence, and continued, "It''s my fault. It''s me who insist on dragging Vivian
with me."
Selina felt weird about their protectiveness for each other. Well, they were a perfect match if Vivi could
forget William, the scumbag."
"Well, well, I am just kidding. You don''t have to be so serious. If so, how dare I y jokes with you
two?"
Vivian smiled, "I know your bark is worse than your bite, don''t boast."
"Well, I just want to ask if you''re going to tonight''s banquet. If you go, we can be each one''s dance
partner." Selinay on the sofa and asked leisurely.
Vivian asked in a doubt, "Selina, how did you know I aming for tonight''s banquet?"
Selina adjusted herself and answered angrily, "People in high-level position are desperate to be
invited."
"Why?" Vivian felt weird. What kind of banquet it is if Selina muste?
John continued, "Well, it''s an annual gathering for social purpose in the City. Several respected people
would take apart. And, if you have received an invitation, you must show up."
"What for people who do not have the invitation but hopes to get in?"
That was the perfect time to establish rtionships among merchants, politicians as well as wealthy
women. They had to be sneaky in normal banquets. However, this annual banquet was a perfect time
for them to bribe.
If you were wealthy, you can look for power. If you were powerful, you can look for fun. For girls who
were not married, it was a ce for them to hang around with rich men. For men who were not married,
that ce was a hunting ground. They hunted for different kinds of women as they wanted.
For people who were both wealthy and powerful, Selina looked down on them.
However, she forgot that her own family just belonged to the kind which owned both power and wealth.
This banquet was just a disguise.

It was too much information for Vivian, she said, "I don''t know the City holds this kind of banquet."
She never knew.
"That''s normal. That Will, well, it''s good for you if you don''t know these things. That people are a bunch
of demons." Selina almost spoke the name William. Thank god she realized it.
That was so close.
As far as Selina knew, William never took part in this banquet, not because he was not qualified, but
because he didn''t want to.
However, he admitted tonight''s invitation, out of everyone''s expectation. Hence, this year''s poprity
was much higher than other years.
Most peoplee because of William’s presence.
As for why William could not take part even if he got an invitation, nobody knew what violent measures
he took.
Selina nced at Vivian. Finding she looked as normal, Selina finally released.
In fact, Vivian was only pretending. She knew that Selina was going to talk about William the moment
she pronounced that syble, she said calmly, "So that''s the reason you''reing tonight."
"Absolutely not! I mean, maybe we can go shopping together?" Selina couldn''t find a suitable dress
after a thorough search of her closet. Since her friend might alsoe to the banquet, Selina was
Vivian watched John with an apologetic look, "Maybe I cannot go with you."
"That''s alright. I can pick you up tonight." John smiled warmly.
Selina had noticed there was a scent of hormones spreading out, which made her very ufortable.
This is just John’s unrequited love.
"Okay." Vivian nodded.
Selina got up from the sofa and jumped happily towards Vivian. She held Vivian''s arm and said," I''ll
take her and leave you with that hostage."
After saying that, Selina blinked at Roe.
"Selina, I am not a hostage." Roe replied angrily.
Selina felt Roe was so adorable. She treated him as a lovely cat and rubbed his hair. She kissed him,
and touched him in a ''satisfied'' expression and kidded, "Pumpkin, I am not willing to treat you as a
hostage. How about being my boyfriend?"
Vivian would regard her friend as pedophilia if she was not sure what her friend really was. Selina was
an enthusiastic girl outside, but inside? Hypocrite.
"Selina, that''s enough." Vivian was a bit worried that her son''s face was left with a mark.
Selina let Roe go and answered embarrassedly, "Sorry, I can''t hold myself."
"That''s right, Selina. Behave yourself." Roe grabbed a tissue under the table and wiped his face calmly.
The fondness from Selina really gave a hard time for Roe.
"I promise I will be careful next time." Selina blinked her eyes innocently; however, she cannot
guarantee what would happen next time.
"Ok, let''s go." Vivian was afraid Roe would get tempered and she could not handle.
Selina agreed, "Okay."
Before the two turned around, John walked towards Vivian and grabbed her wrist. He wrinkled and
asked, "Vivi, what''s wrong with your wrist."
Both of her wrists were red. Despite the marks were shallow, they were still obvious when she rubbed
it.
Vivian shocked and pretended that everything was fine, "Maybe I fell down and bumped somewhere."
She had used facial foundation to cover up in case others saw. However, Roe rubbed it off when they
hugged together and it was finally discovered by John.
"How would that from bumping…" Selina looked surprised after seeing Vivian''s red wrists. However,
after Vivian''s eye-contact with her, she swallowed what she was meant to say, "That''s actually quite
normal, Vivi. Maybe it''s just because you forgot to take your hair bounds off. Well, don’t you know that
your skin is delicate? It will cause misunderstanding."
Selina thought her answer was perfect. How smart she was.
Vivian continued, "That''s right. No wonder my wrists itch. Thank you, John."
John was suspicious. Seeing Vivian''s hair bound, he finally didn''t ask further, "Next time you should be
careful and change a looser hair bound."
"Yeah, I know." Vivian replied, but she was afraid to look at John in his eyes.
