Chapter 26 Alicia's Jealousy
As the center of attention, Alicia captivated everyone in the room.
She faced the guests with an air of arrogance, devoid of any smiles.
It was only with the help of Brett that she managed to leave a positive impression.
Once the guests had departed, Brett contemplated, "Ms. Gibson, this is Oakpool's elite society. It's important to show them respect."
Alicia scoffed, "What's so special about them? Why should I please anyone?"
Brett wanted to say more, but Alicia interrupted, "Enough! Let's not bother with those people. What about Jefferson? Hasn't he arrived yet?"
Knowing that Alicia had organized this banquet for Jefferson, Brett naturally kept an eye out for him.
"Jefferson has indeed arrived, but I haven't seen him for quite some time. I'm not sure if he has left," Brett replied.
"Left?"
Alicia's tone escalated abruptly.
"Impossible! He couldn't have just left without saying a word!"
"Could he be involved with someone?" Brett speculated.
"Hmm..." Brett hesitated.
"Tell me now! Who did he interact with?" Alicia demanded angrily.
Unable to resist her, Brett told the truth. "During the banquet, a model approached Jefferson. Later, he had a conversation with Nola Gentry."
"How dare she approach Jeff? Find someone to teach her a lesson! And as for Nola..." Alicia seethed with jealousy.
"Ms. Gibson," Brett advised, "Nola is a respected lady. This is not Elfold; we should be cautious."
Alicia's beautiful face contorted with jealousy. "If this were Elfold, I would make sure they regret it!"
"Let's deal with the model first. I'll address Nola Gentry later," Alicia decided.
"Understood."
Brett turned to leave, but after a few steps, he suddenly heard a familiar name.
...
"Have you seen Elianna?"
Asher asked several people, yet received no leads. His suspicions grew stronger.
