All eyes fixated on Annie.

“Who’s that woman? What family does she belong

“Just go ask her Let’s get her contact info first”

“She might be a new starlet. I wonder if she’s already taken! If not, I might just try my luck with some cash.

“Mr. Zimmerman, you’re quite the spender. Your lancée is right there. Aren’t you scared of

her feathers?”

“We’re not married, so who gives a damn

A group of playboys swaggered over to Annie, trading banter and jokes.

“Henry Zimmerman!” Selena’s face turned ashen as she gritted her teeth in anger. While she wasn’t fond of Henry, everyone in Betrico knew they were about to get engaged. It was utterly unacceptable for him to display such disrespect toward her in public.

“Jessica, why did you invite such a low–class woman? Not only does she drag down our standards, but she seems clueless. Who attends a birthday bashi dressed more lavishly than the host? Is she here on the prowl for a wealthy man? Selena grumbled, clearly irritated. However, as she pivoted, she was taken aback to see the perplexed looks on Jessica’s and Yolanda’s faces,

But she didn’t have time to dwell on the reactions of the Sanders cousins. Seeing that Henry had reached Annie, Selena stormed towards them directly.

Meanwhile, Henry squeezed through the crowd and approached Annie. “What’s your name, gorgeous? I feel like we’ve crossed paths before,” he said in his usual flirtatious manner, casual and not in the slightest serious.

Annie glanced at his disgusted face and leering eyes, and responded bluntly, “You’ve mistaken me for someone else.”

As she attempted to step away, Henry caught her wrist. “Then why not get acquainted now? I’m Henry Zimmerman from Foison Group.”

Annie tried to pull her hand back but couldn’t, her brows furrowing in annoyance, ‘Is this guy seriously creeping in public? Just as she was about to explode, she caught a glimpse of Selena fiercely striding over. Annie took a deep breath and restrained herself.

She recalled that in her previous life, Henry was set to marry Selena, a close friend of the Sanders cousins. Selena had been involved in all the things Jessica and Yolanda did behind the scenes. If it weren’t for Selena using her influence in the entertainment industry to sway public opinion, Annie would never have become a laughingstock in all of Betrico for a single embarrassing incident.

Suddenly, an idea struck Annie. She turned to Henry with a smile. “Do you like me, Mr. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Anne watched the drama untold with a smile gracefully. Everyone involved was somed clout, yet the scene looked more like a catfight than anything he just lowbrow Annie stood there casually, as if it wasn’t her who stirred the pot she even tolt a bit down that there was no popcorn to enjoy with such a juicy displays

Henry knew he was in the wrong but was unwilling to admit it. With a glance at Aumie, he abruptly raises his voice. “She seduced me! In his mind, Anne wax a minor celebrity, and it was smooth things over with cash later on

Selena had long felt an aversion towards Annie and Justantly joined in, sneering. Some women are so desperate for men. They would flock to anyone who smells of masculinity. She looks innocent and pure on the outside, but deep down, she’s probably just a secondhand item that’s been passed around”

Surprisingly, many around echoed those vicious words.

Jackson leaned casually against the railing on the second–floor balcony, his eyes locked on Annie’s cool demeanor. His lips curled into a slight smile, eyebrows arching. “Interesting.”
