Chapter 404

Ellinor strolled into the villa’s living room, causing the animated chit–chat to come to a halt.

“Who’s that? Who just barges in like that?”

“Is she trying to turn heads by being all wet?”

“She’s so plainly dressed, being wet isn’t gonna help!”

“But don’t you guys think she’s prelly?”

“Who brought her? Never seen her before.”

People were sizing her up and speculating about her identity.

Ellinor, however, didn’t pay any mind to the gazes around her. She was just looking for the villa’s owner,

Jonah Wyton, hoping to borrow a set of clean

clothes.

But Jonah, after saying he was going to the restroom, hadn’t come back. She couldn’t find him

anywhere on the first floor. Wasn’t he the birthday boy? Where did the main character disappear to?

Just as Ellinor was looking around, Bartlett Rex, who was chatting with friends, noticed her. He put

down his drink and walked over, “Ellinor, what happened? How did you end up like this?”

Ellinor looked at Bartlett, who was still as handsome and elegant as she remembered.

“Oh, it’s you, Bartlett. Can you help me out? Did you bring a date today?”

Despite her soaked state, Ellinor was as composed as ever.

Bartlett couldn’t help but chuckle, yet he still answered seriously, “No, but I did bring a female

subordinate. She’s waiting in the car outside. What do you need?”

“Can you ask if she has any spare clothes? I’d like to borrow a set.”

“Sure, hold on.” Understanding her request, Bartlett pulled out his phone and made a call. “Bring a

clean set of your clothes over now.”

After a short exchange, he hung up and smiled at Ellinor. “Okay, she has a new outfit in the car. She’ll

bring it over soon.”

Ellinor thanked him, “Thanks, Bartlett. What goes around comes around. You’re such a sweetheart!”

Bartlett was speechless.

Even though he found it amusing, he wasn’t quite used to being called a sweetheart.

“Hey, look! Bartlett is talking to the soaked girl!”

“What’s going on? Is she Bartlett’s date?”

“Bartlett’s dates are usually high–class ladies. How come he brought a girl we don’t know?”

“She might be plainly dressed, but she’s anything but plain. She’s drop–dead gorgeous!”

“What good is beauty alone? To be Mr. Rex’s date, status should matter more, right?”

“Yeah! What makes her worthy? Her clothes look like cheap!”

“Our clothes are way more decent than hers! How dare she talk to Mr. Rex!”

For this simple birthday party, Jonah only invited his close friends, some of whom brought their dates to

liven things up.
