My dear lawyer novel Chapter 304

"Selina. It's all my fault, I…"

John interrupted Vivian's sentence, and continued, "It's my fault. It's me who insist on dragging Vivian with me."

Selina felt weird about their protectiveness for each other. Well, they were a perfect match if Vivi could forget William, the scumbag."

"Well, well, I am just kidding. You don't have to be so serious. If so, how dare I play jokes with you two?"

Vivian smiled, "I know your bark is worse than your bite, don't boast."

"Well, I just want to ask if you're going to tonight's banquet. If you go, we can be each one's dance partner." Selina lay on the sofa and asked leisurely.

Vivian asked in a doubt, "Selina, how did you know I am coming for tonight's banquet?"

Selina adjusted herself and answered angrily, "People in high-level position are desperate to be invited."

"Why?" Vivian felt weird. What kind of banquet it is if Selina must come?

John continued, "Well, it's an annual gathering for social purpose in the City. Several respected people would take apart. And, if you have received an invitation, you must show up."

"What for people who do not have the invitation but hopes to get in?"

That was the perfect time to establish relationships among merchants, politicians as well as wealthy women. They had to be sneaky in normal banquets. However, this annual banquet was a perfect time for them to bribe.

If you were wealthy, you can look for power. If you were powerful, you can look for fun. For girls who were not married, it was a place for them to hang around with rich men. For men who were not married, that place was a hunting ground. They hunted for different kinds of women as they wanted.

For people who were both wealthy and powerful, Selina looked down on them.

However, she forgot that her own family just belonged to the kind which owned both power and wealth.

This banquet was just a disguise.

It was too much information for Vivian, she said, "I don't know the City holds this kind of banquet."

She never knew.

"That's normal. That Will, well, it's good for you if you don't know these things. That people are a bunch of demons." Selina almost spoke the name William. Thank god she realized it.

That was so close.

As far as Selina knew, William never took part in this banquet, not because he was not qualified, but because he didn't want to.

However, he admitted tonight's invitation, out of everyone's expectation. Hence, this year's popularity was much higher than other years.

Most people come because of William’s presence.

As for why William could not take part even if he got an invitation, nobody knew what violent measures he took.

Selina glanced at Vivian. Finding she looked as normal, Selina finally released.

In fact, Vivian was only pretending. She knew that Selina was going to talk about William the moment she pronounced that syllable, she said calmly, "So that's the reason you're coming tonight."
