Cosset You Forever novel Chapter 1713

Coincidentally, during Angela's stay in J City, the Yao Hospital was also preparing a ceremony to celebrate its centenary.

The Yao Hospital was founded by Arvin's ancestors. It was only a small clinic at the beginning, and it gradually developed into the joint-stock general hospital it was today.

As the present Director of the hospital, Arvin had to attend the ceremony.

The day before the ceremony, he asked Malik Jia to send a set of luxurious and beautiful evening dress over for Angela.

"Mrs. Gu, there is a grand party for the hospital's centenary tomorrow evening. A lot of honorable guests were invited to the event. Mrs. Gu, as the Director's wife, you will also be the focus of the ceremony. So Mr. Gu has personally chosen this evening dress and this set of pearl jewellery for you. Please do attend the ceremony tomorrow," said Malik.

Angela squinted at Malik, who had put on a courteous smile, and then she shifted her eyes to the magnificently packaged box in front of her. 'Attend the ceremony with Arvin?' "No, I'm sorry but I won't be attending," refused Angela.

'Why isn't he inviting me himself? Why did he ask someone else to pass on this message to me? Huh!' thought Angela angrily.

Malik was baffled. Arvin had threatened him with his job. If Malik wasn't able to persuade Angela to attend the party tomorrow, he would be fired.

Malik felt helplessly sorry for himself, because Arvin had given him one of the most difficult tasks to take on.

"Mrs. Gu, Miss Si, Angela, please..." Malik pretended to cry and begged, "My parents have taken your husband to be my benefactor ever since I started working for him. They have always thought very highly of you, so please, I beg you, don't make a bad impression on them. I wouldn't want them to think of you as a bad person."

Angela was confused and asked, "How would that make me a bad person?"

"You will make me lose my job! Mr. Gu said that if you don't attend the ceremony tomorrow, I will be fired."

Angela was speechless. 'Wood, give me a piece of wood! I need to beat Arvin to death with it! What a horrible man! A sly fox!' cursed Angela angrily in her mind.

She thought for a while and replied, "Tell him, I won't go. His threats won't work on me."

Malik twisted his face with awkwardness and nearly knelt down as his legs were weak. He begged for mercy again, "Angela... Lovely Angela... Dear Mrs. Gu, please reconsider. My parents are getting old, I don't want to disappoint them, because I am afraid they might have heart attacks when they find out that I lose my job..."

Angela stuck out her tongue and shrugged teasingly, "I am kidding. Rest assured, I will attend the party."

Malik forced out a smile and said, "Angela, you are so good at making jokes now."

"Thank you for your compliment."

"Then, should I come to pick you up tomorrow?" asked Malik.

"No. Please go back and lie to Arvin that I am not going to attend the party. Also, just tell him, if he fires you, I will fly back to C Country right away!" said Angela.

"What?" Malik was surprised. How they enjoyed playing games with each other!

Arvin had been on a business trip in D City and he wouldn't come back to J City until the next afternoon.

The next afternoon, before Arvin came back, Angela had asked the housemaids to take good care of the twins. The whole Gu family members were to attend the ceremony this evening, without their children, so Angela had to make sure the housemaids were going to look after the kids. After that, she asked her bodyguard to drive her to a private hairdresser's studio.

Kent drove Arvin back to the Gu family's house. But when he entered, Arvin could only see his two sons and Aron's daughter there. So he asked one of the housemaids, "Where's Angela?"

"Mr. Arvin, Mrs. Angela said that she had something to do and that she wasn't coming back tonight."

Arvin got upset when he heard the housemaid's reply.

Angela still hadn't forgiven him...

Moreover, even though it was such an important evening for him, Angela still wasn't willing to accompany him to the ceremony. Arvin was really upset to find that Angela did not care about what other people would think of him at all.

The hospital's centenary ceremony was held in a five-star hotel owned by Aron's company. Before seven o'clock in the evening, the parking lot of the hotel was already packed with all kinds of luxury cars.

At seven o'clock sharp, Arvin showed up in the hall alone by himself, which caused a lot of people's gossip to spread like wildfire.

The rumours regarding the bad relationship between the Gu couples were running rampant in the hall again.

After making his opening speech, Arvin walked down the stage and was soon surrounded by a lot of guests.
