Chapter 45 Because She Is Beautiful
Audrey was about to question Anaya when Joans and Orlando walked over.
Seeing that reassuring figure, Anaya instantly cried and rushed over. “Orlando…”
Orlando glanced at her and pursed his lips without saying a word.
Under the dim yellow light, his expression was unclear.

“What’s going on?” Joans asked as he saw the sorry state on Anaya’s face.
The surrounding guests helped to explain. Although each and every one of them was biased towards Anaya, they didn’t dare to provoke Jason. Moreover, amazed at Viola’s stunning dance, they didn’t say any sharp words.
Joans heard it and basically understood what happened.
He smiled and invited the guests to continue eating. After comforting Anaya for a bit, he followed the guests back to the banquet hall.
Anaya sobbed as she held Orlando’s hand, wronged and pitiful, “Orlando, don’t blame Viola. She’s probably in a bad mood because of our engagement.”
Orlando looked down at her and asked in a cold tone, “What did you say to her just now?”
Anaya was stunned by the question. When she looked up, she saw that his face was a little gloomy. She quickly explained, “We are going to be engaged. I just hoped that she could bless us. I did not expect that she would be a little angry, so she splashed it on me.”
“Really?” Orlando frowned, and his face became colder.
Anaya was still holding on to a trace of hope. She nodded and tightened her grip on his arm.
Almost instantly, he withdrew his hand. “Anaya, I can’t understand you now.”
Anaya choked.
She thought, this is the first time he has spoken so coldly. Did he see it?
She did not dare to continue pretending. If Orlando really saw something but she continued to conceal it, it would only make him more disgusted.
“Orlando, just now, Viola made fun of me with the photo of my stage incident. I was so angry that I wanted to splash it on her… I haven’t changed, Orlando. I am still the same.”
Orlando didn’t say anything and let Anaya chatter beside him.
Anaya didn’t get a response from him, so she panicked even more and cried.
“Orlando, I’m so scared of you like this. You promised you would compensate me for the past. Believe me, I really didn’t mean it.””
Orlando frowned when the old matter was mentioned again.
He felt disgusted suddenly. It seemed that ever since Anaya returned, she often used the things from many years ago to soften him up.
She was getting further and further away from the little girl he remembered.
She had only been abroad for three years. He wondered why she had changed so greatly.
Audrey listened from the side. As a woman, she was very clear and disgusted with Anaya’s behavior. She quietly rolled her eyes and turned to leave.
“Mrs. Callis, Anaya is not in a good mood tonight. Take her back to rest early.”
Audrey did not dare to refuse. She put on a loving smile and gently pulled Anaya.
Only when Orlando left did Audrey put away the smile on her face. She quietly pinched Anaya’s arm and whispered, “The daughter of a bitch is a bitch. He had left. Stop pretending. I’m disgusted.”
Anaya glared at Audrey fiercely.
“What? Do you really think I’m afraid of you?” Audrey released Anaya hatefully and returned to the main banquet hall.
After leaving the Callis’ villa, Viola separated from Jason and returned to Russell’s villa alone.
She took a bath, put on a beauty mask, and ate some fresh fruit. She was in a very good mood.
The phone suddenly rang.
She looked at the name displayed on the screen and answered without hesitation, “Thank you for tonight. If it weren’t for you, I might have been the one making a fool of myself on the spot.”
