Chapter 123
Chloe’s entrance successfully caught everyone’s attention.
Keira turned to look at Lance, only to find his gaze also transfixed on Chloe.
She clenched her fists so hard that her nails dug into her palms. She bit her lip, feeling wronged.
Keira’s words brought Lance back to reality. He glanced at her, gave a slight smile, but didn’t say anything.
Keira bit her lip even harder.
Although Chloe’s appearance tonight was spectacular, the aloof aura around her was intimidating.
At that moment, Amelia, with a gloomy face, walked up to Keira, stared at Keira and Lance, and angrily asked, “What’s up with Chloe? Why did she come here looking like that?”
“I was almost done chatting up Mr. Cullen, then she showed up and stole him away from me just like that! Talk about bad luck!”
Keira gave a weak smile, glanced at Lance, and softly said, “If a man can be easily swayed by a woman’s looks, that says Mr. Cullen isn’t worth trusting.”
A glint appeared in Lance’s eyes.
Amelia was slightly tamed, but she still felt angry.
“I just feel so frustrated. What’s she trying to show off? She hardly ever attends parties, and just after breaking up with Lance, she’s here at the party flirting with men! How desperate can she be for attention!”
“Amelia, don’t just make things up. It was Granny Carolina who asked her to come!”
“So she’s taking this rare opportunity to flirt with men! Look at those guys earlier, their eyes were about to pop
Amelia continued to rant furiously, her chest heaving dramatically, her eyes spitting fire at Chloe.
“Amelia, don’t be angry or you might scare off your prince charming.”
Chloe stole the show tonight, so she had to be the good girl.
out!”
Amelia looked at Keira, who was holding onto her arm, sighed, and then said to Lance, “Lance, Chloe stole all of Keira’s thunder tonight. Now it’s up to you to save face for her.”
Lance frowned at Amelia, said coldly, “Can you stop making a scene?”
Amelia pouted, “I’m not making a scene! I just heard Mr. Cullen saying that before the party starts, there’s a small charity donation event.”
Lance paused, raising an eyebrow, “With all the rich and powerful people gathered here tonight, it’s no surprise that the Harper family’s banquet has caught a lot of attention. A charity donation is expected to avoid any gossip. It’s just a small donation event, what’s the big deal?”
Amelia suddenly smiled mysteriously, “Lance, have you thought about what you’re going to donate?”
Lance looked around, realizing he only had a watch on him.
Amelia turned to survey the entire banquet hall, expressing her admiration.
“The Harper family sure knows how to keep people on their toes. Everyone here tonight is wealthy. What was supposed to be a small–scale charity even with all these people, there must be at least 10 million dollars tonight, right? This is truly spectacular.”
Lance didn’t make any clear statement.
The power of the Harper Group was indeed unreachable for ordinary people.
At this moment, Amelia’s gaze had shifted to Chloe, who was not far away. She raised her eyebrows and sneered…
So, you want to show off?
Well, let’s see how much you can show off tonight!
