Chapter 231
Bruce Everett snorted and hung up directly.
“Slam!” He threw the phone heavily on the table, and his face was as cold as ice!
Seeing this, everyone else also fell silent.
This was a high–end nightclub.
The dimly lit private room was filled with all kinds of beautiful women!
Besides Bruce, there was also another young and handsome man sitting on the leather sofa!
At this moment, the man had his legs crossed and was lazily hugging two women!
Seeing that Bruce was angry, he smiled and urged, “Come on Bruce, it’s rare for you to come out and play. Don’t be angry!”
“That’s right. Come, let’s drink!” The long–legged woman beside Bruce poured a glass of wine for him enthusiastically.
On his other side, another beautiful woman in a low–cut dress hurriedly came over to light his cigarette.
Bruce’s face was still gloomy, and the veins on his temples were bulging.
The only woman who could make him so angry was Joanna Haynes.
“Bruce, there are so many beautiful ladies here! Why are you pulling such a long face? You’re scaring the ladies off!”
The man who spoke was called Zachary Garcia. He is Bruce’s good friend and they grew up together.
Given Bruce’s status, there are always many people around him but there were only a few he could consider as friends!
Zachary was one of the few. The two of them were classmates and childhood friends who grew up together.
Zachary was the oldest son of the boat tycoon of Greyport!
The family business was also worth billions of dollars. They were also within the top ten wealthiest families in Greyport! Although their assets could not match those of the Everett family, they were still a famous family in Greyport!
Therefore, the two of them were from the same world!
Zachary took a glass of wine and personally handed it to Bruce while saying, “Come, let’s cheers!”
“There’s nothing to be angry about! She’s just a woman anyway. She’s not worth you being angry over!”
“I’m not angry!”
Zachary snorted and said teasingly, “Look at you. Your face is already twisted with rage. How can you still say that you’re not
angry!”
“I really don’t understand what you’re thinking. I can’t believe you’re willing to give up the whole forest for a tree.”
As Zachary spoke, he took a sip of wine, and his eyes were filled with ridicule.
If men of their social status were too loyal to one woman, they would he mocked by the people in their circle of friends.
In their eyes, love could be bought with money and women were akin to beautiful clothes. This meant that they had to change them diligently.
He could enjoy different kinds of love without having to spend a lot of money so who would be so stupid as to give up
the
whole forest for one tree?
Bruce Everett is just a weirdo!
He had no reason to invest so much effort in a woman.
“My younger sister is coming back next week! She’s preparing to hold a banquet. Come over and show
your support! I’ll introduce you to her!”
“Your sister?” Bruce asked while raising an eyebrow.
Zachary had a younger sister who was six years younger than him. She had been studying in Europe.
Bruce had even met her a few times before and she was indeed very beautiful.
If he remembered correctly, she even pursued him in the past, but he had rejected her.
Zachary poured another glass of wine and casually commented, “Yes, Jennie. You know her!”
Bruce also took a sip of the red wine and chuckled, “Hehe!”
“The banquet will be held next Saturday. You must come then!”
“Of course!” Bruce agreed without any hesitation.
Zachary called out to a few of the women beside him. “You guys, satisfy Mr. Everett well!”
“Don’t worry, Mr. Garcia!”
This nightclub was owned by Zachary,
+
The few women he called over have all taken part in beauty pageants. They had top–notch figures and
their looks were impeccable.
Bruce had been spending a lot of time here these few days!
In the past, he didn’t really care for this kind of place. However, he was in such a terrible mood that he
couldn’t help but come here to fool around.
At the Reagan No. 8 Residence!
After Joanna Haynes hung up, she was so angry that tears welled up in her eyes.
What right did Bruce Everett have to detain her like this? What right did he have to ask her to do this?
What was worse was that he had even sent the boys overseas!
This was something she could not tolerate!
She did not owe him anything so what right did he have to do this?
“Ms. Haynes, don’t be angry! It’s not good for your baby!”
“All of you, get out…” Joanna shouted at the maids.
Ms. Chain and the other maids did not dare to disobey her words and quickly left the room. “Yes, Ms.
Haynes!”
Joanna buried her head under the pillow and started crying again.
Her life had been completely ruined by Bruce Everett.
It was Saturday!
In the Garcia Villa!
A banquet was being held here today. The princess of the Garcia family, Jennie Garcia, had returned
from studying in Europe!
Her family had specially held a grand welcome party for her!
On this day!
Numerous luxury cars were parked outside the Garcia Villa.
All the socialites and young masters of the wealthy families, as well as the business elites from
Greyport were here to attend the banquet!
The venue of the banquet looked extremely classy and divine. Not only that, the beverages and buffet
were also the best money could buy.
They even specially invited a world–famous pianist to perform.
Jennie was wearing a white custom–made evening gown. There were tens of thousands of Swarovski
crystals dotting her brooch and dress. This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Coupled with her crystal–colored high heels, she looked like a shining princess that was noble,
beautiful, and elegant!
“Welcome back, Jennie!”
“Long time no see…”
The young masters and socialites came over to greet her one by one.
“Welcome, welcome everyone!”
As Jennie socialized with the others, she secretly looked forward to Bruce’s appearance.
Her brother told her that Bruce would be coming. Upon hearing the news, she was so excited that she
did not sleep a wink the entire night.
Just as she was thinking about it, a line of luxury cars drove over.
A group of bodyguards surrounded a noble and indifferent man as he walked in.
“Mr. Everett is here!”
Jennie looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it was indeed Bruce in the crowd!
“Long time no see, Bruce!”
Jennie, you’ve become prettier!” Bruce complimented as he handed over a bouquet of flowers.
“Thank you!” Jennie said as she took the flowers with a smile on her face.
She has had a crush on Bruce since he was a teenager.
However, Bruce had never been interested in her. He only had his eyes on Roxanne Haynes and did
not give the other socialites a chance at all!
Therefore, Jennie had no choice but to study in Europe!
Now, she was back. Her feelings, which had been scaled deep down her heart, had been unleashed again!
“Let’s dance!”
“Alright!”
Bruce and Jennie performed the first dance on the dance floor! Everyone around them was watching as the two of them. danced under the spotlight. It felt like they were a match made in heaven!
“Hey, did you guys notice? Mr. Everett and Ms. Garcia are very compatible. They look like a couple!”
Indeed, although Roxanne Haynes was also the daughter of a wealthy family, her background was still much inferior compared to the princess of the Garcia family.
The Garcia family is one of the top ten wealthiest families in Greyport and they were much more powerful than the Haynes family.
After the first dance.
The two of them sat down and chatted.
“Bruce, I heard that you’re getting married.”
“Oh, heh…” Bruce chuckled in embarrassment!
Roxanne Haynes used to be the apple of his eye. With his love for her, she was considered one of the best and most popular socialites.
However, with the Haynes family’s frequent fights, their reputation in Greyport had long been ruined.
In particular, after Raymond Haynes had passed away, Joanna Haynes became a shareholder of the Haynes Group.
Shaun Haynes was also not considered elite anymore, and the Haynes family was no longer a rich and powerful family.
Seeing Bruce’s unnatural expression, Jennie asked again, “When will the wedding be held?”
“I haven’t thought about it yet. At the very least, I have to wait until after the first anniversary of my grandmother’s death!”
When Jennie heard this, her eyes lit up. “Marriage is a big matter so you have to consider it carefully!”
Bruce listened but did not answer.
He could already feel Jennie’s burning gaze as though she was trying to send him a message.
He did not like the feeling at all. After all, he was a person who warms up to others slowly.
Zachary walked over with a glass of red wine and asked, “What are you guys talking about? Both of you seem happy.”
Jennie smiled sweetly and replied, “Zachary, I was just casually chatting with Bruce!”
Bruce shrugged and stood up before declaring, “I’ll take my leave first!”
“You’ve only just arrived. Why are you in such a hurry to leave?”
“You know that I don’t like crowds!”
Every time he attended a banquet, he would end up being the center of attention.
Every time that happened, he felt like an animal in a zoo enclosure being watched.
“What’s there to dislike about crowds? I’m telling you, you’re just too old–fashioned!”
“Look around you. Among these people, you’re the only one who’s different!”
When Bruce heard this, he smiled deeply and did not refute it!
Greyport was a very open–minded city!
Both the men and women were very bold, and they were not as conservative as the people of Mossbourne! The rich had many lovers and cheating was not a problem at all! Their wives were also very open–minded. They turned a blind eye and did not dare to interfere, nor were they willing to interfere!
The rich heirs were even more ridiculous. Fooling around with female celebrities and models was nothing to them!
