Black Rose: Revenge Of The Callous Heiress novel Chapter 36

“Oh my, I didn't see you here young Masters. I'm equally happy to see you here." Mr. Will was surprised to see David and his group of friends standing here as well. Of course all the young men came from a reputable family that even him can't overlook their background so he greeted them.

“Thank you, Mr. Will. We actually left our table there and came to chat with Miss Gray here. I must commend you again, Mr. Will. You've thrown another successful party.” Peter was the one who replied on behalf of himself and his friends who nodded their heads in agreement.

“Haha, Mr. Allen, thank you for your kind words. I hope you're enjoying yourself. Allow me to introduce you to our honorable guest, though I'm sure you already know him. Gentlemen please meet Mr. King.” Mr. Will introduced Alex to David and his friends.

“It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. King. I've heard a lot about you." David was the first person to greet Alex and stretched his hand out for a handshake.

Alex stared at the outstretched hand before Derek stepped forward and took David's hand. Peter and the rest also greeted Alex, and Derek was the one who shook their hand just like David. The young men gritted their teeth and swallowed back their anger and embarrassment at Alex's treatment but no one dared to voice out their displeasure so they smiled like everything was fine.

“Isn't our young miss Sophia looking stunning tonight?" Mr. Will quickly turned his attention to Sophia. He had noticed the awkward atmosphere so he decided to use Sophia to turn everyone's attention away.

He is doing a pretty job as the party host.

Sophia blushed when she heard Mr. Will's comment. Of course, she knew that she looked stunning thanks to everyone telling her that already. However, Alex's aloofness disappointed her, and she couldn't help asking, almost begging, "Mr. King, don't you think I look pretty?"

‘The spotlight has been following me, and everyone's paying me attention, so should he.’ Her possessive nature was awakened, and she swore to herself that she had to get him.

It mattered not if he was her sister's boyfriend. It mattered not what it was, who they were, if she wanted them, she had to have them.

Alex made no reply without taking a look at her.

The whole room burst out laughing, especially the envious female spectators, who were delighted.

“Silly bitch, you think you can steal all the wealthy men's attention here?"

“What about the rest of us?"

“You might be pretty to other men, but your beauty isn't enough to steal Alexander king's attention."

Sophia was wrapped by embarrassment and humiliation. How she wished she could make an instant disappearance.

The pride and pleasure displayed on Beatrice’s face earlier vanished immediately and was replaced by dreadfulness. She quickly came to Sophia's rescue, "Silly girl. Why are you upset? Mr. King was just teasing you." She consoled her daughter before turning around and beckoned Roseline with a smile, "Come, Roseline. Don't stand there alone and say hello to Mr. King."
