from time to time.
Her eyes suddenly widened in panic when she saw a familiar figure.
She loosened her arm from Samuel''s and approached the figure, "Hi, Emma." "Did Emma have a
previous partnership with the Fang Group?" Catherine thought to herself.
Emma initially didn''t n on attending the party. But when she heard that Samuel woulde, she
found an escort to apany her to the party.
Since she was attending on behalf of herpany, Emma didn''t tell Samuel that she would being.
Seeing Catherine, Emma suspected that she came with Samuel.
"Hello, Catherine. Has Samuel arrived?" Emma asked, ncing around the hall to look for Samuel.
As she expected, she saw Samuel chatting andughing with some?guests nearby.
Catherine knew she couldn''t prevent Samuel and Emma from talking to each other, so she nodded
graciously, "Yes. Ourpany assigned us to attend the party together."
Catherine''s innocent expression quelled Emma''s doubts. Emma nodded with a slight smile, "All right.
I''ll go greet CEO Fang." She walked away with her escort.
Seeing Emma walking towards CEO Fang, Catherine breathed a sigh of relief. She walked back to
Samuel.
Shortly afterwards, the chatter of conversation at the doorway increased. Some guests initially ignored
themotion, but when the noise grew louder, they started to look at the doorway.
A couple was?standing at the entrance. People stared at them with varying levels of doubt, surprise,
and even contempt.
Sum looked extremely handsome in his ck suit. Practically everyone in business circle knew him.
It wasn''t Sum that caused themotion, but the woman standing arm in arm with him.
It was warm in the hall. Taking off her white fur shawl, the woman passed it to a waiter.
She was dressed in a ck strapless evening dress and a pair of 3-inch crystal heels that showed off
her slender figure. Her long ck hair was pulled up.
With the exquisite light make-up and eye-catching red lipstick, she looked extremely elegant.
"Isn''t that Samuel''s wife, E Bo?"
"Yes. Why would theye with other people? That''s weird."
"Look at her, she looks so scandalous. No wonder Samuel didn''t take her."
"Are you jealous? She looks amazing, not scandalous."
...
Samuel was in conversation with some businessmen when Sum and E arrived. When he
inadvertently caught a glimpse of E, his face instantly turned sour.
He heard gossip a few steps away, "Apparently, Sum and E had an affair before. There''s no smoke
without fire. Now, they''re showing up like this! Are they a couple now?"
"Have Samuel and E divorced?"
"Jesus. What''s wrong with Samuel to divorce such a beautiful wife!"
...
Immersed in gossip, the guests didn''t notice Samuel standing behind them with a nk face.
What happened next shocked everyone present.
d in a light purple evening dress, Catherine walked arm in arm with Samuel towards Sum and E.
E''s heart raced uncontrobly when she saw Samuel approaching.
Keeping her calm, she told herself to keep her chin up when she saw Catherine''s smirk.
Sum seemed to be in a good mood. He greeted them with a smile, "Good evening. Mr. Shao and Miss
Gu." Other guests couldn''t help ncing at them from time to time, gossiping with each other.
E took a ss of wine from a waiter''s tray.
Dropping her eyes, she took a sip of the wine. She had no intention of greeting Samuel.
"Good evening, Mr. Su." Samuel replied with a slight sneer, looking at the wine in his ss.
"Excuse us, Mr. Shao. We''d like to greet CEO Fang first." Sum said with a gentle smile.
Samuel was irritated by Sum''s good mood. He grabbed E''s arm the moment she stepped away,
forcing them to a stop.
"Jesus, are they going to fight?"
"Two men fighting over a woman. This is going to be exciting!"
"How could E Bo be so close to another man? She''s a married woman!"
...
The scene attracted a heated discussion.
Samuel''s grip was so firm that E had no choice but to let go of Sum. She stepped closer to Samuel
And straightened his tie. "Don''t worry. I''ll be back soon." E said, patting Samuel on his chest.
Samuel smiled, "Okay. I''ll wait for you here." He bent over and kissed E.
"Oh my goodness! What''s happening?"
"A husband is kissing his wife. That''s normal."
"But people say they''ve already lost affection for one another, and are having affairs with other people!"
"It seems to be just a rumor."
...
Samuel and E red at each other during their kiss. The guests were oblivious, all they could see
was an affectionate couple kissing each other.
Nearby, Emma clenched her fists in anger. She caught Sum''s eye and gave him a look. He was also
upset.
Catherine stood behind Samuel in embarrassment. She looked away and noticed Emma looking at
Sum meaningfully. Confused, she shifted her gaze between Sum and Emma doubtfully.
When the kiss ended, E still had her arms hooked around Samuel''s neck and he kept his hands on
her waist.
"Good for you! E." Samuel said, staring at her affectionately.
Only E could tell that Samuel was furious.
