After divorce, Ex-wife Revealed Identities novel Chapter 96

The consumption was also expensive.

Sylvia struggled to break free from Franklin's palms, pulled the door open, and got off the car.

Franklin strode to follow her immediately.

Brayden followed suit, heading for the private box.

Once the door was opened, people in the box stood up instantly, but Paul lay on the sofa.

Melissa Kelly saw the girl next to Franklin with a single glimpse, feeling upset.

The girl was too charming, and Melissa didn't think she could be a match for that girl.

Paul darted at the door leisurely. When he caught sight of Sylvia, he became excited.

He stood up to walk to Franklin. Watching the scene, others felt weird, wondering why Paul suddenly had become so friendly to Franklin.

Suddenly, Paul said enthusiastically, "Miss Andrews, what has brought you down here? Why didn't you call me earlier? If I knew you would come, I'd greet you at the entrance."

Other people in the box were taken aback as they had never seen Paul be that kind to any other person. They also realized that he hadn't become friendly to Franklin but was being nice to the girl next to Franklin.

After a closer look, they had to admit the girl was a stunner, reminding them of a fairy.

Paul wanted to hold Sylvia's hand while he spoke, but Franklin walked up to stand between them and blocked Paul's thirsty gaze. Franklin hinted at Sylvia to sit on the sofa aside. "Ignore him."

Sylvia cast a glance at Paul and responded, "Hello, Paul."

That was her greeting, which astonished others again.

Seldom people in Larro had the guts to call Paul by his name, but the girl seemed to be one of them.

Melissa inwardly felt ironic, wishing Paul to teach her a lesson.

Paul beamed at Sylvia and asked tentatively, "What would you like to drink, Miss Andrews? Red wine or soft drinks?"

Others gaped as he wasn't angry at all.

Franklin felt furious when seeing Paul fawn over Sylvia, frowning deeply.

He held Sylvia's slender waist, silently informing others of his intimacy with her.

Sylvia was wordless.

He did that after they had divorced, and she wondered if that was harassment.

She twisted to break free, but the man muttered in her ear angrily, "Move again. Ready to reap the consequences."

Then he picked up a goblet, shook it slightly, and sipped the wine.

"It's Melissa's birthday today. Let's have fun," a wealthy young man suggested, "Let me give my gift to Melissa."

Only then did Sylvia realize they came here to celebrate the birthday of the pretty woman standing in the center of the box.

"This is for you, Melissa. Happy birthday." Brayden passed a box to Melissa.

All people in the circle knew that Brayden liked Melissa, but the latter didn't respond evidently. Hence, no one knew who she had a crush on.

Melissa elegantly opened the gift box, darted in, and smiled. "Thank you, Mr. Wright."

There was a costly diamond necklace in the box.

Melissa was the daughter of the Kelly family and signed a contract with the entertainment company of Maskelyne Group, so she had plenty of resources.

She was the most famous actress in the company now. After joining several TV series with high viewing rates, she had a large fan base.

Compared to an infamous actress like Honey, she was much more famous. Recently, she had been planning to join some movies.

Since she was a celebrity from a wealthy family, she had a great many admirers.

Roman Kelly, her brother, was close to Franklin and Brayden, so Melissa had a good reputation among the wealthy men.

Several rich young men gave her their gifts.

Paul darted at Franklin, who looked intimate to Sylvia, feeling unhappy. "Mr. Maskelyne, why haven't you given Melissa a gift?"

His words made others look over at Franklin.

So did Melissa, her eyes with a hidden trace of expectation. However, she covered it well, so no one captured it.

Franklin answered, "Well, my wife will mind it, as she dislikes me giving gifts to other women."
