Black Rose: Revenge Of The Callous Heiress novel Chapter 34

"I'm sure that Mr. Gray is so proud to have not only a stunning wife but also a beautiful daughter like Miss Sophia.” Steven Osborne, another one of the men added.

"I wonder which young master would be lucky to marry such a beautiful woman. Hey, why don't we have a bet and see who gets her first?"

It was one of the games they played to kill time and for fun.

Steve Osborne quickly gave up when he heard Peter's suggestions. "Nah, we all know David will win as he always does. I'm out?" He said, glancing at one of the men sitting next to him.

Jack Hall laughed, "Haha. Great. Don't regret it and keep your word."

Alex, who was hearing the whisper from the men sitting at the next table, swirled the champagne in hand indifferently. Even though he was not doing it intentionally, his graceful aura absorbed admiration from every corner.

While the other men's eyes were glued on Sophia, his eyes fell on Roseline every now and then, and he found her strangely desirable.

She's different. Smart. Great at acting. Intriguing.

Then Jack suddenly remembered something and mentioned, "Ah, I heard that the first young Miss of the Gray family is back in the country but I haven't seen her yet."

"Are you talking about Roseline Gray?” Peter asked and Jack nodded his head at him.

David Parker scanned around and spotted their target, "Is she the plain-looking girl standing next to her sister Sophia Gray? She isn't very noticeable, is she?"

Wearing an elegant, long white simple round neck satin bell-sleeved dress. She had her long hair tied up into a top knot bun, adorned with a jade bracelet and necklace, Roseline looked a bit out of place. Her attire had seemed to successfully conceal her pretty face, especially standing next to the glittering Sophia and Beatrice. Compared to them, she looked rather simple.

Steve, who had been spoiled by beautiful women, looked at Rose and he wasn't kind with his comments. "Ha. What a shame. The Gray's eldest daughter is ugly! No wonder she had been sent out of the country."

On hearing one of the men's comments, Alex lifted his brow and his expression turned darker. Though he didn't say anything, somehow, he felt like he had been insulted.

Rose seemed to sense something among the whispering and turned to look at their direction, nonchalantly. Immediately the guys saw her turning to them, Peter blew her a kiss, Steve rolled his eyes at her, and Jack raised his glass respectfully and David smirked at her.

They were all expecting a bashful face as usual. Teasing girls was something they would do for fun, and they knew well how it usually worked, judging by experience.

Alex on the other hand, calmly took a sip of champagne. Even though he saw the men action towards Rose, he knew the guys would not be getting what they were hoping.
