Chapter 1270: King Victor Yann Is Actually Here?!
"Since you know, why aren’t you moving away? You’re blocking my view of selecting prey." Aurelia Shaw said with a playful smile. Iris Cooper, filled with anger and ready to unleash a tirade of sarcasm at Aurelia, suddenly didn’t know where to direct it, given Aurelia’s lighthearted attitude accompanying that remark.
Direct it at Aurelia? Mock her for being shameless, flirting with other men even though she already has one? But she’s already admitted to it.
Not only admitted, but openly asked her to move aside and not block her view of handsome men.
Iris Cooper had dealt with many tricky people, even those with cunning minds in the entertainment circle, but never someone like Aurelia. It seemed no matter what venomous words you said, attacked her, or mocked her, she didn’t care.
Instead, it was herself, looking like a clown jumping up and down.
"Aurelia, you... have no shame!" Even Iris Cooper felt her words held little power as she finished, not to mention Aurelia, who laughed lightly.
"Still causing a scene without feeling embarrassed?" At this time, a cool and somewhat lifeless male voice spoke up.
Iris Cooper’s body stiffened at the sound, and the others froze for a moment before feeling a chill down their spines.
Oh my! When did King Victor Yann get here?
Where he was sitting was so dimly lit, and Henry Fletcher was such a silent presence, that they hadn’t even noticed.
"What are you all doing here? Go do what you’re supposed to do!" Henry Fletcher’s tone was laced with impatience.
The onlookers dispersed instantly, afraid that staying a moment longer would spell disaster. Iris Cooper hesitated for a moment, then quickly followed the crowd to leave.
She dared not provoke this King Victor Yann.
Even though he was her fiancé.
After losing face in front of him so badly, how could she have any face to come back?
That jinx Aurelia, her whole purpose for attending this banquet was Henry Fletcher. She’d heard that he would attend and planned to use this opportunity to deepen her relationship with him, but it was all ruined by that jinx Aurelia!
Whenever she encountered her, she had bad luck!
...
Everyone left, and Aurelia didn’t want to stay either. Henry Fletcher was someone she didn’t want to see at all!
Just as Aurelia started to move, the figure behind her called out, "You, stay."
The voice was awkward, carrying a hint of command.
Henry Fletcher frowned after speaking.
He rarely spoke, given his background and current status, he never had to appease anyone, so he was bad at socializing, only realizing after speaking that his tone was harsh.
Aurelia seemed startled, turning back in a flustered manner, her head lowered, her shoulders slightly trembling, like a frightened deer. Her eyes, beneath her fringe, flashed coldly, silently wondering what Henry Fletcher wanted. To avenge his fiancée Iris Cooper?
But considering their relationship, it shouldn’t be that close, right?
His deadpan thoughts were still so hard to guess.
"What’s your name?" Henry Fletcher asked.
"I wasn’t calling," Aurelia replied coldly.
"I wasn’t asking if you were calling, I asked what your name is?" Henry rubbed his temples.
"But I really wasn’t calling," Aurelia blinked her peach blossom eyes, continuing her feigned ignorance.
Henry Fletcher could see she was intentionally playing dumb. How could she be so witty in retorting against others just now and the next second not understand what a sentence specifically meant? Wasn’t she looking for a suitable benefactor? With his qualifications, both in appearance or background, he was her best choice. So why did this woman seem completely oblivious to this?
Or perhaps, she wasn’t looking for a benefactor at all?
