99 Bloody Lashes And A Bullet To His Hear novel Chapter 40

When Daniel heard that the gifts were returned, he didn’t react much; he simply instructed to send them again. Just when Edward thought the gifts would only be delivered to the Price family, Daniel appeared at the party with the gifts in tow. This was a banquet hosted by the Price family’s long–time associates, and it was Sarah’s first event as

Mrs. Price.

Her red dress complemented the red pocket square on Edward’s chest. The 25–carat ruby on her middle finger was a birthday gift from Edward when she turned 25. It caused everyone in the room to envy her. From the moment she walked in on Edward’s arm, she caught everyone’s attention, naturally also drawing Daniel’s gaze from the corner of the room.

Seeing the girl in the center of the crowd, smiling brightly, a trace of bitterness surfaced in his eyes. He could barely remember how long it had been since he’d seen Sarah smile. She used to smile so often. Her smile was so infectious that no matter how bad Daniel’s mood was, seeing her smile would always lift his spirits. But ever since he rejected her affection and was with Emily, she had been nothing but careful around him.

The hand holding the gift tightened suddenly. The fragile gift box almost got crushed. As the most important guest at the banquet, the guests began offering their greetings to the new Mrs. Price. Daniel finally lifted his foot to approach them. But before he could speak, Edward had already taken Sarah’s arm and led her upstairs to the private suite.

“Sarah!” Daniel’s expression changed slightly, and he hurried to follow. But two tall bodyguards stepped forward to block him. The Price family’s butler stood directly in front of him.

“Mr. Foster, one must know their place.” The butler’s words were like invisible slaps to Daniel’s face. “You know very well what you’ve done to Mrs. Price. The fact that the gentleman has not confronted you should be seen as him giving you face.”
