At eight o'clock, Faye, who was wearing a beautiful purple-red dress, appeared at the entrance holding Frederick's arm. There was a faint wave of interest in the banquet hall. Once he entered the room, he took a glass of red wine. He stood with one hand holding the glass throughout the event. Dressed in black, he radiated a chilling aura that threatened anyone who got close.
On the other hand, guests cto greet them right after they cin.
After greeting the guests, Faye put down the glass she was holding and was about to dance with Frederick. Suddenly, a few gorgeous women cup to them. Forcing a smile, she took another glass of red wine.
At this point, several women appeared in front of them. They greeted Frederick, trying to get close to him. "I've heard a lot about you, Mr. Clements. It's my honor to meet you today." "Faye, you look radiant tonight. You're more delicate than a flower. Oh, is this the newest version of Master David's 'Super D'? Owning a prestigious brand is the next level. I'm so jealous!" "I know, right? The perfect couple for the perfect night. You two are the centre of attention." The three women who cover chatted while Frederick swirled his wine glass lightly. He watched as they flattered each other, and he knew they were actually making fun of each other in their hearts. After talking for a while, the woman in the middle who was wearing a white deep V dress seemed to be smiling. She suddenly changed the subject.
"Mr. Clements, I haven't congratulated you on your marriage yet. Aren't you worried that Mrs. Clements will be unhappy that you left her alone?" The woman's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just enough for everyone to hear. Moreover, from the corner of her eyes, it was obvious that she was looking at Faye. The corner of her mouth raised slightly, mixed with a little bit of jealousy and disdain. She took the opportunity to raise her glass and flick her hair toward her chest at the stime. She squeezed her breast so that her cleavage could clearly be seen, which took a lot of effort.
She took the lead. At the stime, the woman in a blue miniskirt added.

She turned to her friend and said, "Now, you worry too much. Don't you see that Mr. Clements is still wearing his wedding ring? Clearly, Mr. Clements loves Mrs. Clements, and no one can replace her, right?" These words slightly eased Frederick's pain. He clenched the wine glass more tightly, but he didn't deny it. At this time, Faye's face turned pale. She was nothing.
Sure enough, beautiful women always had rivals.
Faye hoped that Frederick would say something, even if it was out of politeness. Therefore, her gaze unconsciously turned to him. She did not know that his silence was for her sake. Even if Alicia was gone, he would not deny that in fact, no one could replace her ever. They were nobody compared to her.
Just as everyone's attention was fixed on him, he looked at the glass in his hand, seemingly absentminded. Seeing this, Faye becmore aware of the situation she was put in. At this moment, she spoke in a natural tone.
"That's for sure. Mrs. Clements is irreplaceable. It's my greatest honor to be your friend. Mr.
Clements, shall we dance?" With a smile on her face, Faye glanced at them from the corner of her eyes. She raised one of her eyebrows. The meaning was clear. She was better than them.
Frederick suddenly cto his senses and was pleased with her answer. He put down his glass and said, "Hmm." Then, they walked to the dance floor. The three women behind looked at each other, feeling a little embarrassed, and then they left separately.
At the door, Sebastian sent his assistant to pick Alicia up. The two talked as they walked in. When they passed by the banquet hall entrance, she inadvertently glanced inside and happened to see the only dancing figure in the middle of the stage. Suddenly, she stopped.
A television company's party? No wonder! Suddenly, a familiar teasing voice cfrom the corridor. "Are you serious? There's going to be a good show tonight? You're not lying, right?" "You'll know when you go in." Carson and Chet! After coming back to her senses, Alicia felt as if her blood had frozen for a moment. At this moment, there was a familiar voice at the back of her mind bringing her back from past events. Her heart ached.
"Miss Swift? What's wrong?" "I'm fine. It's just that my shoes aren't comfortable. I'm okay now. Let's go." Without even daring to look back, she strode over to the banquet hall and quickly ran to the private room on the other side.
When talking to Chet, he looked up. Carson was stunned for two seconds and even stopped walking.
"What's wrong?" When Chet followed his gaze and raised his head, the corridor was already empty.
"What else can I do? I've been bewitched by you and your servants." Why did he also feel that she looked like Alicia when he saw her? Did he see a ghost? After talking with Chet for a while, Carson turned into the banquet hall.
"Next time, don't ctofor this kind of thing. You always bringtrouble." The banquet progressed and was eventually in full swing. Slowly, the swaying figures in the crowd gave Frederick a headache. This made him a little agitated.

In the ballroom, almost everyone was chatting with each other. However, Danica was alone in the crowd.
Frederick did not notice that someone in the crowd was looking at him. "Chet!"
Just as he was about to walk to Chet's side, all of a sudden, there was the sound of thunderclap: A woman grabbed his hand. "Sir, please save me!" Then, the woman hid behind him. A fat man covered his lower body with his hands, and rushed over with sweat and anger.
"Hey, don't run, b*tch! You stole my emerald buckle and kicked my d*ck. I'm not done with you. Drag her out!" "I didn't! It was you who tried to take advantage of me!" With Frederick in her arms, the woman cried and said, "Sir, please help me. Don't let him takeaway!" The woman grabbed his hand tightly. He thought her beautiful face looked somewhat familiar yet the stime. At this foreign at th
