Chapter 1194
His breath brushed against Sally's ear, sending a warm and ticklish sensation down her ear.
Nonetheless, she did not avoid him since there were people around. Instead, she leaned closer to him, acting like they were a loving newlywed couple. “Thanks for saying that.”
Cooper responded with a faint smile. “You're welcome. I'm glad that we have chemistry.”
Somehow, he had sensed that Sally was to blame for Margaret's misfortune and reacted swiftly.
As Cooper guessed, although Margaret believed Eurydice's explanation, she did not accept the prayer beads. The fact that she returned them to Karolina indicated that she was still uneasy.
Karolina was anxious and upset by Margaret's action.
She had searched for the prayer beads for some time, hoping they would please Margaret and help improve Andy's and Benedict's relationship. However, she felt disappointed when the gift was not received with gratitude.
While Cooper was chatting with a few veteran politicians, Sally placed her champagne glass on the table.
This time, she went to the restroom for real.
Not long after, Eurydice, too, arrived at the restroom.
Eurydice went there not with the purpose of using the facilities but to wait for Sally. Despite her calm expression, her eyebrows were knitted in concern.
When Sally came out of the cubicle and walked to the sink to wash her hands, Eurydice uttered, “I don't want us to turn on each other, but there's a limit to my patience. I don't like it when people keep stepping on my toes.”
Upon hearing that, Sally let out a cold snort.
After taking two pieces of tissue paper from the box to dry her hands, she turned around to glare at Eurydice. “You don't want us to turn on each other, yet you target my family. What does that mean?”
