Chapter 138 They Were All Acting
Adele leaned over and looked at the photo. Her expression was a little unnatural.
In fact, it was nothing for Emily to take photos. However, she and Owen were just ordinary friends now. In the photo, he was wearing a necklace for her, and his actions were intimate. It might cause people to misunderstand.
She looked at Emily and whispered, “Emily, don’t make a fuss. Delete it.”
“This photo is so good. It looks good. I can’t bear to delete it!” Emily clenched his phone and refused to delete it.
Next to him, Owen noticed that Adele’s expression was not right, and his face became a bit more serious. He reached out his hand to Emily.
Emily pouted. Although he was reluctant, he still handed the phone over.
Owen took the phone and looked at the photo on the screen. His hand that was going to press the delete button paused.
This photo was indeed very good. It was soft and natural and beautiful.
After hesitating for a moment, Owen clicked to share and sent it to himself through Emily’s WeChat. Then, he deleted the photo.
After doing all this, he returned the phone to Emily without saying anything.
Seeing this, Adele thought that the photo had been deleted, so he did not ask anymore.
Suddenly thinking of something, Owen looked at her and asked, “Oh right, Adele, do you need me to send you to Hibiscus Garden today?”
“There’s no need. The birthday banquet starts later. I can go by myself.” Adele smiled at him and gently declined.
“Adele, I wanted to go too. We can still go together when the time comes. Who knew that there was something going on at home today, and my brother and I couldn’t go.”
“You go ahead first. Maybe there will be a chance in the future.” Adele pinched her hand and smiled.
In fact, it was good that Emily and the others did not go. Otherwise, she would have to explain everything to her when she did something. After all, she was not just going to attend Elder Bai’s birthday banquet.
After leaving the Song family home, Adele took a taxi straight home. When he got home, he got his makeup done and hair done. It was almost time.
Old Master Bai’s birthday banquet was held in Hibiscus Garden. The entire three floors were reserved. The first floor was the hall, the second floor was the VIP seats, and the third floor was a private room. The hall was bright and spacious, and the glass lights were bright and dazzling. On both sides of the room were buffet tables, which looked like a reception. The second floor was the venue for dinner, and the third floor was a room for rest.
Adele took the invitation card and entered the hall. After listening to the waiter’s introduction, he could not help but sigh.
The world of rich people was really hard to imagine. Who knew how much money it would cost to go down this night?
In the hall, there were already many people. The people were moving about and drinking wine. It was a lively scene.
Adele did not stay idle. After walking around and figuring out the stairs and passages, he had an idea.
It was almost time. Compared to before, there were many more people. Old Man Bai had already appeared and was receiving the blessings of everyone in the central gathering place of the hall.
With more people, it would be troublesome to find people. Adele looked left and right, but he did not see Damon.
She had discussed it with him beforehand. She had to be within his sight, including her actions. She had to go through his permission to ensure her safety to the greatest extent.
Finally, accompanied by a burst of noise at the entrance of the hall, Damon, dressed in a dark gray suit, walked in under the gaze of everyone. He was tall and tall, and his body seemed to carry an invisible aura. Everyone around him made way for him at the same time.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
Adele looked at the man in the crowd and could not help but take a deep breath. She did not expect him to be so dazzling in the crowd. It was as if all the light in the hall was attracted to him, so that she could no longer see anyone else.
Damon took Ben and walked directly to the old man in the middle. Soon, the old man noticed the arrival and immediately smiled.
“Uncle, I wish you a long life.” Damon stepped forward and bowed slightly to greet the old man.
“Okay, okay. I am very happy that you can come to see me.”
“I know that uncle doesn’t lack anything. I specially found a small toy.”
Damon said and looked at Ben beside him.
Ben understood and immediately handed over the box in his hand.
Just now, everyone had already sent gifts in a circle. The Jade Ruyi Golden Longevity Peach was a common thing to the old man, so there was nothing rare.
Now that Damon had presented the gift, the onlookers also wanted to see what it was.
The box was placed in front of Old Master Bai. He reached out and opened the lid. With just a glance, his eyes lit up.
Someone in the crowd said, “It’s actually Master Zhu Men’s hand-made purple sand pot!”
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
Everyone knew that Old Man Bai liked the Purple Sand Pot and loved to collect the works of famous teachers. However, it was not easy to get Master Zhu’s personal works. It was not something that could be bought with money.
As expected, Old Man Bai’s face lit up. He had his subordinates put away the Purple Sand Pot before he smiled at Damon and said, “Damon, you really put in a lot of effort in preparing this for me. I like it very much.”
After a few words of greetings, Damon had clearly become the center of the crowd, and Old Man Bai was even pulling him to talk non-stop.
Adele stood at the periphery and watched them chat happily from afar, but he was thinking about action.
It had been half a day, and she had not seen Sherry, so she naturally felt a little uncertain.
Her eyes searched the crowd, but Adele still did not see Sherry. However, she found another important person, Frank.
Chen Yu walked beside him. The two of them were like a model couple, smiling and greeting the crowd. They seemed to have a good relationship.
However, she heard from Damon that Frank and Chen Yu’s marriage had long existed in name only. Frank had cheated for many years, and Chen Yu would catch a mistress like a neurotic and lose her temper.
However, people who did not know the situation would definitely not think that they would be like this in private when they looked at the two of them at this moment.
Adele took a deep breath and turned to look at the other side. She wanted to look for Sherry again, but a female voice suddenly came from behind her.
“Adele, you’re here too?”
She turned around and saw Sherry walking towards her. He was dressed in a black dress. His chest was wide open and his chest was swaying back and forth. The makeup on his face was much thicker than usual.
No wonder she couldn’t find her after searching for a long time. It turned out that her dress today was very different from usual. She almost didn’t recognize her.
Seeing Sherry pretending to be surprised, Adele smiled and said softly, “Hello, Ms. Turkle.”.
Sherry walked to her side, glanced around, and asked tentatively, “Why are you here alone?”.
“No one is with you.”. Adele picked up a cup of fruit and looked at Sherry with a smile, “Isn’t Ms. Turkle also alone?”.
“I still have a friend over there, so I won’t talk to you anymore,” Sherry said casually.
With that, she turned around and walked to the other side.
Adele watched her leave, and the smile in his eyes slowly cooled down.
At this time, both of them were acting, and it was unknown who would be the final victor.
