Chapter 326
The man’s figure was tall and slender, and his footsteps were confident.
The girl wore a tight–fitting long dress and walked elegantly. Every step was graceful, like a model on a runway.
They wore matching outfits, but their masks were slightly different, making them seem even more compatible.
“My cousin and his new girlfriend” Christine introduced.
She had just returned and didn’t participate in the welcoming ceremony at the door, so she thought Edwin didn’t know.
“I don’t know what happened to my cousin but he suddenly fell in love with a female internet celebrity.”
Christine didn’t think highly of internet celebrities and even snorted. But to maintain a good image in front of Edwin, she didn’t criticize them too harshly.
“Ray!” Christine waved at Ray.
Ray and Sharon walked closer.
“This is my cousin, Christine Ray introduced, looking at the two of them with a meaningful gaze,
When Sharon heard the name “Christine,” she recalled the topic that Karna and Panny had discussed earlier. Sharon politely addressed Christine, “Miss Gildon”
Ahhough Christine didn’t like internet celebrities, she responded politely in front of Ray. She pointed at Edwin and said, “This is the famous CEO of Genesis Group. Edwin Stanley, my idol
She playfully tilted her head, almost pressing against Edwin, acting very familiar with him.
Sharon didn’t want any more connections with Edwin, but she couldn’t snub Christine. She lowered her head slightly. “Mr. Stanley”
Sharon showed courtesy and distance.
It was as if this was their first meeting.
Edwin’s gaze fixed on her face. His dark eyes were intense.
The fingerprints on his fair skin became more noticeable under the light, silently reminding Sharon of what had happened earlier.
She took an uneasy step back
Ray stepped forward, blocking Edwin’s gaze. Ray patted Christine’s head. “Good for you. You got to see your idol on your first day back. Take good care of Edwin tonight”
“Ray.” Christine’s face turned as red as an apple, obviously happy
“Let’s go. Ray grabbed Sharon’s waist and led her to where the Gildon family’s siblings were standing-
Sharon couldn’t wait to get away. She didn’t look back,
Edwin’s gaze followed her wherever she went like a sunflower following the sun.
Christine noticed Edwin’s gaze but thought he was interested in Ray dating an internet celebrity. She shyly chuckled. “You’re such an upright man. You definitely won’t like internet celebrities. Though some are talented, most rely on their looky Few have real talent. Those who watch internet celebrities‘ live streams are playboys like my cousin, office workers, and introverts with ng big ambitions. They like pretty faces and coy attitudes They don’t care about education or ability.”
Her words finally got a reaction from Edwin.
He looked down and back.
Delighted, Christine straightened up, trying to show her best side.
Edwin pursed his lips. His gaze swept over her like a blade, cold and harsh, not the gentleness and admiration she had imagined.
Unrapectedly, Christine shivered.
“Even if Miss Galdon tried to sell her looks, there might not be any buyers. You have so–called education and ability but achieve nothing. You just waste your parents‘ money,” he said slowly, his words clear and emotionless.

Chapter 320
Christine’s shy, blushing face quickly turned a different shade of red. The sparkle in her eyes dimmed, and her body trembled slightly.
“Am I being mocked? By Edwin, who rarely spoke unless necessary? Did he really hate me that much? Christine thought.
Although Christine wasn’t devastatingly beautiful, she was still considered pretty. With her good family background, she had always been pursued
wherever she went.
Being belinled so suddenly, and in public, was unbearable. Her eyes reddened, and tears began to well up.
Edwin, never affectionate or gentle, didn’t even bother to look at her as he walked away
Felix, who had followed behind, shook his head and sighed at Christine
Of all people, she had to provoke Mr. Stanley’s sweetheart. He had shown mercy with just a few harsh words, Felix thought.
Conor finished his speech and walked down with the help of his sons.
His grandchildren surrounded him.
The music started.
“Grandpa, you’re the main character tonight. You have to do the first dance, the Gildon family’s grandchildren said.
Conor’s sudden desire to hold a masquerade party pleased everyone and allowed them to act much bolder than usual.
Conor laughed and waved his hand. “I’m too old to dance. You young people can handle this.”
His eyes scanned the crowd and landed on Ray and Sharon “Didn’t Kay bring his girlfriend! Let them dance”
Sharon was stunned to be called out
Her face under the mask twitched.
The more she wanted to escape, the more her wishes were denied.
