Chapter 103
Emma attended the banquet, and so did Crystal.
However, she attended it with Arianna because Trevor refused to attend. Hence, she could only bring Arianna with her to keep her pride.
If she could get along well with Arianna, her potential future sister–in–law, it would be one of the signs that she was about to marry into the Bateson Family to outsiders.
Crystal wore a white tube top–style long dress, and her cleavage was exposed and eye–catching
Of course, this was just a basic for actresses in the entertainment industry, but the color white really suited Crystal‘s temperament as the rich daughter of a wealthy family.
Arianna, on the other hand, was wearing a rosy pink dress, and she was able to pull the look off effortlessly. She blossomed like a beautiful flower.
As soon as the two appeared at the banquet, they immediately got together with a few other ladies.
One of them asked Crystal with a smile, “Why didn‘t President Bateson come with you today?”
Arianna took the initiative to answer, “Dont mention that workaholic anymore. Only Crystal can tolerate him.”
“It‘s normal for men to focus on their career,” Crystal said as her thin lips formed into an elegant smile.
The reason why Arianna spoke for Crystal sensibly today was that Alice reminded her in advance that she must maintain a good image for Crystal.
Crystal also subtly promised her that if she did marry into the Bateson Family in the future, she would definitely give Arianna the best interests.
Of course, she wanted to help Crystal. Although she was not short of money, every time she caused trouble, her brother would deduct her pocket money, and she could not stand it anymore.
Crystal was her best friend. Once Crystal became the mistress of the Bateson Family, she would surely gain even more advantages.
After a few ladies heard Arianna and Crystal singing the same tune, they immediately believed that Crystal and Trevor were going to get married soon.
Another lady glanced at Crystal‘s Nat belly and leaned in to ask out of curiosity, “Did you suddenly stop filming recenuly because you got pregnant?”
The word “pregnant” made Crystal‘s heart skip a beat because she felt guilty.
Before this, she made up the excuse of being pregnant to provoke Emma and Trevor‘s relationship. Trevor did not know about it until now. If she happened to meet Trevor one day, she would not be sure of how to confront him.
Moreover, she and Trevor never had any intimate relationship, so that added to her guilt.
However, she smiled decently in response. “No! That‘s nonsense.”
The other ladies laughed and congratulated her, not forgetting to ask her to send invitations to them when the time came.
After she pondered about her current situation, Crystal‘s resentment toward Emma grew.
Just as she gritted her teeth secretly, she looked up to see Emma holding Wesley‘s arm and entering the venue, which caused quite a stir, because... Emma was stunning in her costume.
Crystal was shocked to scc Emma at a glance, so she stared at her incredulously, unable to look away.
Perhaps it was due to Ernma‘s usual innocent and pure image that shocked most people when she dressed to the nines.
Crystal clearly remembered the night of Baleson Group Anniversary when Emma wore a dazzling red dress.
S
After Emma left the venue back then, she heard Bateson Group employees whispering among each other about the stunning beauty of Mrs. Bateson, who had long been hidden.
Some people even lowered their voices and commented that Emma was more beautiful than Crystal, a popular actress who was constantly rumored to have an affair with Trevor.
Hearing those comments enraged her, so she clenched her fists tightly.
Emma was talented. Therefore, she would undoubtedly have a bright future. By
then, he would not hold her back.
Hearing Wesley‘s sincere advice, Emma suddenly felt emotional as tears pooled in her cyes. “Thank you..”
The picture of the two looking at each other was photographed by someone and sent to Trevor.
That person was no other than Zachary. He leaned lazily at the table next to him and sent a message to Trevor, “Are you coming? If you don‘t, I‘m afraid Wesley will win her over.”
“Look at him. I don‘t know what tricks he used to make Emma look at him like that.”
Zachary admitted that his words were exaggerated, but if the situation went on, there might be a spark between Emma and Wesley.
By then, his good friend might start to regret it.
About twenty minutes later, Trevor, who was dressed in a black suit, arrived at the dinner party with a grim expression.
He exuded an arrogant, aloof, and cold temperament. Besides, he was also the hottest business upstart in Jonestown today. As soon as he appeared on the stage, he caused quite a stir.
Arianna had already started flirung with some men, while Crystal chatted and drank with a few celebrities.
After noticing Trevor‘s arrival, someone asked Crystal inexplicably, “Didn‘t you say that President Bateson won‘t be coming today?”
Crystal was also shocked to see Trevor, who suddenly appeared.
Trevor Bateson... Was it because of Emma that he changed his mind and attended the party?
According to the current relationship between the two of them, he was definitely not looking for her. How embarrassing this situation was for her?
