Not long after the coffee shop bell rang. and Wendy gave a small me, waving at the shy, skinny
woman at the door Elsa over here!
Hearing the call the masked woman walked over and sat right next to Fellx. She took off her mask,
revealing a beautiful and confident face
She then leaned ovet nting a kiss on Fel’s cheek, “Miss me, darling?”
The movement caused Felix to spill some of his coffee, a flicker of annoyance crossing his eyes.
He managed a smile, not answering Elsa’s question but instead ncing at his coffee cup “Dops,
sony darling it wasn’t on purpose You didn’t get bumid, did you? Let me check”
Realizing Felix might have gotten bumed. Elsa quickly grabbed his hand and put his fingers in her
mouth. She gave Felix s fingers a perfunctory lick, then started leasing t Wendy just smiled and
calmly sipped her coffee Felix looked a bit tense, pulling his hand from Elsa’s mouth
1m fine”
Elsa leaned closet whispering check again tonight”
“Watch yourself, don’t forget you re a public figure,” Felix wamed her quietly
Elsa finally stopped her antes, looking around before tuming her attention to Wendy
“Weren’t we supposed to have a wee party? Why are there only two of you?”
Wendyughed lightly “The actual wee party is tonight I just couldn’t wait to get your
autograph.”
She nced at Felix, adding. By the way. I forgot Elsa get jealous easily.”
Felix shot Wendy a nce, then caressed Elsashead, “How could she? She’s smart, and she
knows right from wrong.”
Elsa was clearly pleased with thepliment her chin lifted high in pride.
They chatted for a bit, then Wendy grabbed her bag. “Alright, I won’t disturb you two lovebirds any
longer. I’ve got things to do. See you tonight.”
Without wasting much time, Elsa dragged Felix off to a hotel.
That night, as Nathan and the others were getting ready to attend Wendy’s wee party, Damon
received a call from Presley.
The Alonso family is here. They say there’s a business problem. Come take a look.” Presley didn’t
sound pleased.
After hanging up. Damon tumed to Chie “The Alonso family sent someone to discuss business. You
go with Nathan first I’ll join you once l’m done.” Chloe nodded. “Anght you go ahead.
Damon ruffled her hair giving Nathan a look that clearly meant ‘take care of her.
Nathan scoffed at his brother “She’s stronger than anyone here. If anything, others will be the ones
bullied by her. Do you really need to be so careful?” Damon’s gaze turned icy. “If she gets hurt in
any way, I won’t let it slide.”
That was scarier than any direct threat, right?
It was a lose lose situation. No reward for taking care of her but serious consequences if he failed,
What was he thinking?
Nathan gave Chloe ah annoyed look, only to be met with her help les’s smile.
“Let’s go.”
with her tongue, clearly hinting at something more.
Nathan led Chloé to the banquet hall. From the moment their car pulled up to the hotel Chloe
couldn’t help but sneer inwardly. When they entered the banquet hall the opulent decor only added
to Chloe’s amusement.
This was Wendy’s idea of a “casual gathering“, almost indistinguishable from a high society event
Thankfully, to save Damon’s pride, she had wom a simple dress. It was suitable for both formal and
casual asions, simple and elegant, showcasing her charm. Wendy was at the entrance, greeting
new arrivals in a rose gold gown that entualed her slender figure.
She was sexy and elegant, sophisticated yet approachable. She was neither tacky nor mboyant
giving off a actress like auta
Seeing them arrive, she walked over quickly nced at Chloe’s outfit, and then smiled. “Nathan,
Chloe, you made it?
Chloe gave her a nonchnt look, barely managing a smile.
“Yes, quite a crowd today. I thought it was just a casual gathering.”
Wendy nced at the bustling crowd in the banquet hall “Isn’t this casual?!
Chloe gave a small smile, her eyes filled with sarcasm and a hint of coldness.
“Wow, Wendy, your idea of a casual gathering is quite grand. I thought it was just a small get–
together!” A vole eximed, causing Wendy’sce to stiffen.
Elsa and Felix had just walked in. Elsa was wearing a ruby red gown that hugged her figure, with
two gold rings at her waist, her slim waist swaying as she walked towards them.
Wendy forced a smile, “You’re here too.”
“Yes, thank goodness Wendy reminded me to dress up, or I would’ve been so embarrassed at an
event like this.
Wendy clenched her teeth, looking back at Chloe who still had that sarcastic smile. But there was a
clear sense of mockery and coldness in her eyes. Theers of Chloes mouth turned up slightly, a
mysterious glint in her eyes.
Tm hungry. I’m going to find something to eat.”
She sad calmly, not giving Wendy a chance to respond, then tumed and walked towards the center
of the banquet hall,
Nathan, hands in his pockets, watched Wendy for a moment, chuckled a few times, then quickly
followed Chloe.
Nathan’sughter was like salt on Wendy’s wound. She clenched her fists tightly, shooting Felix a
nce. The fleeting look of sorrow in her eyes made Felix’s heart tighten.

He shot Elsa a disgusted look before pushing her hand away.
“Do your own thing. I gotta hit the john.”
At this Wendy immediately stepped forward and grabbed Elsa’s arm.
“Elsae on, I introduce you to some friends. They’re all here for you today.”
Felu was in theet in the smoking area, having acgarette, and looking at the bustling banquet
hall
His gaze wasn’t on Wendy, nor was it on his girlfriend. Rather it was following Chloe, his face
gloomy, lost in thought.
After not too long, he took a heavy drag on his cigarette, then stubbed out the remaining hall and
tossed it into the trash, making his way towards Chloe
