Gloria Taylor looked away and denied, “He didn’t.”
Edith Hall snorted, “If he’s not looking at you, is he looking at me?”
“Maybe.” Gloria Taylor said faintly.
“……”
After glancing at Gloria Taylor’s direction, Kenny Clarke continued pushing Randy Clarke on.
He said something to Shi Ye and sat down.
Shi Ye said a few words to the guests and announced that the party began.
When he finished speaking, he noticed Gloria Taylor in the crowd.
He turned and whispered to Kenny Clarke, “Young Master, the Young Lady is here.”
“Let her be. I don’t care about her.” Kenny Clarke took a glass of champagne and said indifferently.
This made Shi Ye, who was about to say a few words shut up.
At this moment, there was a commotion on the other side.
Although the commotion was not as loud as when Kenny Clarke came in, still, it attracted people’s attention.
“Who is it?”
“It’s Mr. Clarke’s fiancé!”
“It’s only hearsay. Mr. Clarke has never responded to the rumor. Neither of them has held an engagement banquet.”
“How can’t it be true? I heard that they had a daughter!”
“Who said that? Is that true?”
“……”
Gloria Taylor eavesdropped on the conversation.
When she heard what the ladies were talking about, she snorted coldly.
Edith Hall didn’t really hear what those ladies were saying. When she noticed that Gloria Taylor was not looking well, she asked, “What’s the matter?”
“Su Mian is coming.” Gloria Taylor put down her champagne glass and straightened her dress, “I’m going to touch up my makeup.”
“I’ll come with you.”
“No need.”
Gloria Taylor went to the restroom by herself.
She stood in front of the mirror and touched up her makeup carefully. She had to make sure that her makeup was flawless. Only then did she take her bag and walk out of the restroom.
She accidentally met James Moore on her way out.
“Gloria?”
James Moore saw her first. He naturally called out to stop her.
She turned back and asked casually after a little while, “Did you just come?”
“I did. I didn’t see you at the banquet hall just now. I thought you didn’t come.” James Moore stepped closer, matching her pace.
“I went to the restroom just now.”
Gloria Taylor and James Moore walked side by side and returned to the banquet hall.
When the two returned, the guests in the hall were getting together in small groups and chatting.
Kenny Clarke’s surrounding was naturally the most crowded.
There were many people around him, and Randy Clarke was sitting next to him.
Randy Clarke was sitting in the wheelchair without saying a word. His face looked cold. People would greet him out of courtesy and then talked to Kenny Clarke.
James Moore looked at Gloria Taylor’s eyes and smiled lightly. He ridiculed, “People are transactional. They will flock to those who bring them benefits.”
In the past, Randy Clarke was the head of the Clarke family. Everyone wanted to make friends with him. Now that Kenny Clarke inherited his throne, his old acquaintances flocked to the young man.
They had forgotten the kidnapping case that happened earlier. Now, they were busy talking about Kenny Clarke, the victim who survived.
The human’s heart was the softest, but also the hardest than anything else.
“Judging from your tone, it seems that you can see these thoroughly.” Gloria Taylor turned to look at James Moore. Her tone was inquiring, “Besides, you seem to know the Clarke very well.”
The smile on his face froze, but he quickly recovered to his composure, “Really?”
After a few seconds, she asked again, “Is everything you said before true? You said I saved you, but it didn’t ring any bell.”
Although Gloria Taylor subconsciously believed James Moore, it was still doubtful he could find her and Kenny Clarke immediately in the mountain.
James Moore didn’t reply. He asked, “Do you doubt me?”
She reached out and took a cup of juice from the waiter’s tray. She took a sip and continued, “You could find Kenny Clarke and my location in a short time. It means that you had always sent someone to watch me. Even if you are only trying to protect me, don’t you think this is a bit too much?”
She turned her head and looked at him sharply.
Now, she wouldn’t blindly trust James Moore.
Just as Shi Ye said, James Moore’s origin was unknown. He was kind to her, but he also hid a lot of secrets. Gloria Taylor could tell.
James Moore smiled, but he was not embarrassed, “Since you’re unhappy about it, I will not do that again in the future.”
After that, he glanced at Kenny Clarke. He asked with interest, “What happened to you and Kenny?”
When Gloria Taylor withdrew her eyes from James Moore, she noticed Su Mian approaching and talking to Kenny Clarke.Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org
Kenny Clarke was sitting while Su Mian was standing and talking to him. She blocked Kenny Clarke. Gloria Taylor couldn’t see the expression on his face.
She didn’t know what they were talking about, but she was surprised that Kenny Clarke listened to her with that much patience.
These past three years, the media kept reporting that Su Mian was Kenny Clarke’s fiancé, and he never denied it.
Therefore, some people actually believed that Su Mian was his fiancé.
Even if there was no engagement, at least, they were in a relationship.
“I told you people are always trying to climb on Big Boss’s—” Edith Hall came up. Before she could say the word ‘bed’, she looked up and saw James Moore standing beside Gloria Taylor. She went silent.
When James Moore saw Edith Hall, he smiled politely at her.
Edith Hall smiled back at him; then she pulled Gloria Taylor away. She asked in a low voice, “What happened? Why is he here?”
“Kenny invited him.” Gloria Taylor replied absentmindedly. She sounded cold.
Although she was talking to Edith Hall, her eyes were glued to Kenny Clarke.
Edith Hall looked back and saw Su Mian sitting down beside Kenny Clarke. There was no physical contact between them, but it was profound that he let her sit next to him.
“Look at that adulterer and whore!” Edith Hall said after suppressing it for a while.
“It’s been a while. Let’s go to say hello.” She reached out and took James Moore’s arm, “Are you coming?”
James Moore looked at her and smiled, “Sure.”
