Chapter 511 Unable to Resist
Kenneth looked at her cynically, but he did not utter a word.
To Faye, his behavior was indicative of a silent approval. She turned around to look at Elise before saying, “I’m sorry to snatch your limelight, Elise, but you should know that I’ve been unhappy for a few years since I was engaged to Johan. Now that I finally have the opportunity to pursue true love, I must be brave.”
Elise raised her eyebrow. “Whatever. Perhaps this is not a good thing after all. Faye, women who blindly seek ‘true love’ usually do not end up well.”
“Now, aren’t you quite petty, Elise? Even though your fiance has gone bankrupt, you have been loyally staying by his side. If you are with the right person, you don’t have to worry about the unpredictable future,” Faye said haughtily, as though she was already Kenneth’s fiancee.
“Very true indeed. I don’t have your guts to do anything I want, though.” With that, Elise smiled sarcastically.
Faye’s facial expression slightly changed upon sensing that there was a hidden meaning in Elise’s words, but she could not understand what Elise was implying.
Soon, she remembered that it was a party after all and was excited and eager once again. “Kenneth, Elise is the main guest of this party here, so let’s have a chat in the room.”
With that, Faye walked forward to hold Kenneth’s arms.
However, before her fingers could even touch him, Kenneth raised his arms delicately to avoid her.
“Please have some self-respect.” His face darkened as he left her hand dangling mid-air in an awkward position.
Her smile became quite awkward, but she still forced herself to smile as she tried to resolve her faux pas. “Kenneth, you are so good at teasing!”
“Who said I was teasing you? Do I even know you?” He looked at her impassively.
Faye’s body gave a jolt. “You just told my father that you want to marry me…”
Kenneth finally realized the miscommunication and calmly explained, “Oh! I thought the Anderson Family only has one daughter. I didn’t know that the foster daughter is also counted.”
Even though the rest of the guests knew that Faye was adopted, they did not say anything about it publicly as they had to take her feelings into account. At this moment when everyone’s focus was on them, it was undeniably an insult to Faye that Kenneth had pointed it out in such a straightforward manner.
She was dazed for a brief moment before her anger flared up. “Since you are looking down on me, why did you request to marry me?”
In other words, how high and mighty could you be for wanting to marry the foster daughter of the family?
“From where did you get the idea that I want to marry you? You think too highly of yourself.” Kenneth flashed a fake smile at her.
To begin with, he was already a man of high status. Now that his face was clouded with a tinge of anger, he emanated a powerful air around him that stunned Faye, whose mouth fell agape as she dared to retaliate.
His gaze only lingered around Faye for less than two seconds before he looked at Elise gently. “The woman whom I want to marry is the second daughter—the biological daughter—of the Anderson Family, Yoona!” he announced clearly.
“My gosh, this is too awkward!”
“Have you guys seen Faye’s behavior earlier? She seems very forward with him, as though she can’t wait to sleep with him. How embarrassing!”
“Tsk, tsk! As soon as her fiance passed away, she immediately went for another man. A woman like her is no good at all! Fortunately, God is fair and did not let her tarnish Mr. Bailey’s reputation!”
“I know, right? She is merely adopted, yet she dreams of being together with Kenneth. Does she even know who he is? He stands out even among a group of talented men. Will he choose a woman who doesn’t even know who her father is? I’m actually impressed by her wild imagination, though. She even says he’s her true love—how shameless!”
“Serves her right! I’ve been dissatisfied by her arrogant attitude for a long time now. It’s finally her turn to be rejected today.”
