Nolan made his way toward the banquet hall. A faint smile graced his features.
In the banquet hall, Megan and Kara immediately noticed Nolan. It had to be noted that Nolan was exceptionally handsome and charming today.
Coupled with his tailored casual suit, Nolan's height, handsome features, and charming smile attracted the gaze of numerous girls around him.
For a brief moment, even Megan was entranced and lost in her own thoughts. Meanwhile, Kitty and Dipsy, who were beside Kara, couldn't help but exclaim at how handsome he was. This sudden outburst seemed to snap Kara out of her daze and back into the present moment.
"Nolan has finally arrived, but his outfit is so flashy. Looks can be deceiving, he may not be as great as he appears.
"At first sight, he seems to be hiding his true intentions. Kitty and Dipsy, I've made it clear that you are not to think about this bad guy. If you do, we will no longer be friends."
Kitty and Dipsy reacted by sticking out their tongues, but their eyes remained on Nolan, and they couldn't look away.
Megan squinted her eyes and chuckled. "This Nolan guy is quite something. If you didn't know any better, you might think he was getting married today. At least he didn't wear the same suit from our wedding again.
"Kara, the main character has arrived, but your sister isn't here right now. But that's okay. Let's play with him for now."
After she finished speaking, Megan took two steps forward, looked at Nolan, and said, "Nolan, I never would have guessed that you still felt like dressing up.
"But no matter how you try to present yourself, you can only fool others. In my opinion, you will forever be unpresentable."
Nolan was not angry. When he came here today, he had already mentally prepared himself. His anger at the snide remarks of a few women was not a sign of his magnanimity, but it was simply uncalled for.
"I don't need you to feel embarrassed for me, Kara. If I remember correctly, you were the one who came to my house and specifically invited me to your birthday party. You even mentioned your sister.
"What? Don't you welcome me? If that's the case, then I can leave now."
Kara's anxiety spiked the moment she heard that Nolan had decided to leave. She had worked so hard to deceive him into coming here, and if he left now, it would surely make Shaun unhappy.
Megan was also against Nolan leaving. She sneered, "Nolan, you're a grown man, yet you still hold a grudge against a young girl. How open-minded of you."
