Ice and Fire novel Chapter 119

Outside at the party, Selina leisurely held a glass of wine and talked to some of her friends. Many people in the business circle were impressed by her elegance and sharp business acumen.

Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of Sally together with a man. The man couldn't have possibly been Jackson, because he was wearing a brown suit, while Jackson was dressed in a black one.

Selina didn't know why Sally was with that man, or what they were talking about.

She suddenly remembered that Lori Liu had once told her about Sally going on a date with a man. She had also secretly asked someone to investigate into the man, but she had found out nothing.

'Things might not be as simple as they look like, ' thought Selina.

She immediately excused herself, put down her glass on a table nearby, and was about to go to Sally and the man. Wasn't he the man with whom Sally had gone on a date last time?

But she could not make it to them, because

Stephen suddenly blocked her way.

"Stephen, what are you doing?" asked Selina anxiously, while she was still staring at the two who had almost disappeared from her sight.

"Miss Selina, where are you going?" asked Stephen flatly. He seemed very relaxed, and didn't care about Selina's anxiety.

"It's none of your business, " said Selina, wanting to avoid him.

However, Stephen followed Selina and stopped her again.

"You're right, " said Stephen calmly before he reached the point of his conversation with her. "I want to ask you where Cherry is."

"In the rest sector, " answered Selina. She then pushed Stephen aside and rushed to where she had spotted Sally earlier.

As Stephen looked at Selina walking away, his gentle expression suddenly turned grim. He knew that Selina had spotted Sally and the man, and that she wanted to find out what was going on, but he wouldn't make it easy for her. Once Selina got to the man, the game was going to be boring, and since Selina was always on Jackson's side, she would definitely tell him. That made the game too easy for Jackson.

When Selina had finally managed to pass through, Sally and the man were long gone. She furiously stomped and cursed Stephen, because if it hadn't been for him, she would have caught Sally red handed.

She wandered among the crowd, and wondered why Sally would do such a thing. Hadn't she returned to the city for Jackson, five years ago? She had been with Jackson for the past five years, but why would she go on a date with another man now? Who was that man? Were they in a relationship already? What would Jackson do with the man if he found out about them?

The more Selina thought about it, the more complicated things became. She wanted to tell Jackson and Derek about it, but she didn't know how, and after all, she had only glanced at the brief figure of the man.

In the end, she decided not to tell them until she found out what was really going on with Sally.

All the talks at the party were about the Future Project that would start in two weeks. Wilson, who had just joined the business circles recently, gained much attention because of his father, Jacob. Wilson also got acquainted with many magnates, considerably expanding his connections.

Two hours passed by, and Wilson stood silently in a corner watching people going back and forth. He was very pleased that his career and connections had benefited quite a lot from the party.

Then, Jackson walked up to him.

When Wilson spotted Jackson, all of his delight faded away, like a speck of dust in the wind.

Before Jackson could say anything, Wilson began first.

"Mr. Jackson, what can I do for you this evening?" asked Wilson.

"Are you living with her?" asked Jackson, staring at the man in front of him. He was sure that Wilson knew what he was asking about.

Wilson's mouth curved into a smile, and he said, "Where else do you think she lives? She's my sister. Don't you think that we should live together?"

Jackson knew that both Jacob and Elsa had returned to the city, and that the family lived together.

"You'd better leave her alone, " warned Jackson suddenly.

Wilson tensed up, because Jackson had claimed that Cherry belonged to him.

"Jackson, as far as I'm concerned, Cherry doesn't have a relationship with you anymore, does she?" said Wilson, and then added, "Besides, you have a stable relationship with Miss Sally, if I'm not mistaken."
