Chapter 62 An Intrigue Against Each Other
Seeing Rae walking toward her with obvious elation, Suzanne straightened up. Even if she was in a bad mood, she could not lose in front of the enemy.
Clinking glasses with Rae, Suzanne smiled politely and said, “Miss Green, long time no see.”
Rae looked Suzanne up and down with surprise in her eyes.
Except for this high-end customized dress. Why did she even have a limited-edition jewelry that was sold by DERIER?All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Didn’t they say that it would take at least three months earlier to make an appointment to get the jewelry of DERIER? Suzanne was just a host of a small TV station. How could she have money to buy this jewelry?
Rae and her father entered the banquet hall after Suzanne and Edwiin, so she didn’t know that Suzanne was Edwiin’s companion. When she saw Suzanne wearing designer clothes from head to toe, she couldn’t help thinking a little wrongly.
It seemed as if she remembered something. Rae smiled understandingly in her heart and revealed a look of disdain. “Karen had once said that you didn’t behave yourself well and seduced one man after another. Now that I look at it, what she said is really true. I wonder why Vito liked you.”
Suzanne frowned. She hated Rae’s sarcastic words.
Just then, a voice cut in. “Rae, what are you doing here?”
Without looking, Suzanne knew who it was.
She found it somewhat comical. The world was just too small because she had encountered the two people she least wanted to see at this banquet. It turned out that her two enemies were actually cousins.
Karen was also wearing a gown today, and her makeup was exquisite. Although the gown was not custom-made and was not as high-quality as Suzanne’s and Rae’s, fortunately, she had a delicate face, which was quite eye-catching in the crowd.
When Karen saw Rae, she was no longer as domineering as she had been when facing Suzanne. She immediately became extremely well-behaved and held her arm like a child. “Rae, why don’t you say hello to those bosses with Vito?”
A nobody like Karen could not enter the banquet where celebrities gathered. Fortunately, her cousin Rae was rich, so she could take advantage of the situation and come with her.
“I accompanied him to walk around just now!” Rae complained, “I was a little tired after walking for a while in high heels, so I let him go by himself.”
Karen giggled, shook her arm, and said enviously, “Look at you, Vito dotes on you so much!”
“Vito treats you like a treasure and is reluctant to make you do anything. You said that you were tired so he didn’t let you continue to walk around with him. It would be great if I could find a boyfriend like Vito.”
“You only know how to tease me, don’t you?” Rae slightly touched Karen’s forehead and said with a smile, “If you want, I can take you to meet those young talents next time. You can try to date them.”
“That would be excellent! Thanks!” Karen agreed readily.
How inferior could the young talents Rae knew be? It would be best if she could find a powerful and influential boyfriend to dote on her by taking advantage of Rae.
After chatting with Rae for a long time, Karen finally had time to look at the person in front of Rae.
She thought that the person opposite her was Rae’s friend and was about to greet her when she suddenly realized that it was Suzanne. Her smile immediately disappeared and she furrowed her brows in disgust. “Why are you here?”
Suzanne stood there and heard the two of them chatting. The more she heard, the more upset she felt. Particularly, when Karen said how Vito doted on Rae, her heart couldn’t help but ache.
Seeing Karen asking her in an unfriendly tone, the corner of Suzanne’s mouth curled into a proud smile. Her aura was not inferior to the two of them, “Hmm? Why can’t I be here?”
Karen sneered with disdain. She crossed her arms and looked Suzanne up and down for a long time. She said sarcastically, “Did you use the breakup fee Myron had given you to buy these luxury goods?”
“Did she use to be with Myron?” Rae was a little surprised. Karen had told her that Suzanne was a light woman, but she had never told her that the person was Myron.
“Yeah, I don’t know what she did.” Karen snorted, “There is also a man in a Maybach who has come to the company to pick her up several times. It seems that they have got illicit sexual relations!”
“I didn’t expect you to have such a high standard.” Rae glanced at Suzanne. “First, it’s my man Vito, then it’s Myron, and then it’s a Maybach man. In terms of appearance, you’re not very beautiful. Is it because you’re good at bed?”
Karen was stunned for a moment, and then she burst into laughter, gloating.
Suzanne clenched her glass tightly and didn’t make a sound. When she heard Rae’s words, her expression finally changed. With coldness in her eyes, she stared at her coldly.
“Don’t worry. I’ll keep my man in check and won’t let you hook him up,” Rae said with a faint smile and glanced at the central area of the hall. “It seems that you haven’t stayed with Myron for a long time. The companion he brought today is not you.”
“So what?” Suzanne suddenly laughed with a charming look in her eyes. “Compared with Myron, I’m afraid that your man is no match for him. Fortunately, I broke up with that kind of man long ago.”
Rae’s expression changed at once.
Karen knew from Rae that Vito had dated Suzanne before. When she heard Suzanne say such words, she felt a little irritated. She shouted coldly at her, “Suzanne, do you have no shame?”
“Then tell me how I hooked up with other men.” Suzanne glanced at her with a cold smile. “Before I broke up with my ex-boyfriend, it seems there was a homewrecker. Does she have shame?”
“You!” Seeing that she was unable to outspeak Suzanne, Karen was so angry that she directly grabbed the glass of red wine in Rae’s hand and splashed it toward Suzanne.
Suzanne wasn’t the kind of pitiful person to wait for someone to pour wine on her. She moved slightly to the side. She had wanted to move her body to the side to avoid the red wine, but she lost her balance and almost fell.
Fortunately, a pair of strong and powerful arms caught her waist in time and helped her up considerately.
The man’s aura was cold, and his breath smelled of red wine. He slowly helped her up and asked in a low and cold voice, “Are you okay?”
Suzanne bit her lower lip and felt a little uneasy in her heart. She didn’t expect him to come here at all. She shook her head and whispered, “It’s okay.”
Edwiin nodded gently and did not let go of her waist. He almost embraced her in his arms. Without looking at Rae and Karen, he took Suzanne away.
The two women didn’t come back to their senses until Edwiin and Suzanne were far away.
Karen was still a little confused when she turned to look at the man’s charming back. She asked Rae with uncertainty and caution, “Rae, is that man Edwiin?”
“Fuck!” Rae secretly cursed, gritting her teeth so hard that they almost broke.
Rae thought, “Why are all the men Suzanne knew not ordinary ones? Myron aside, why can she also be together with a man like Edwiin?”
Thinking of the embarrassing scene of being ruthlessly rejected by such a cold man at a banquet a few years ago, Rae felt very upset. Clenching her fists tightly, she stared at the two people who were getting farther and farther away.
