Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 1818

Chapter 1818

Selena purposely said frustratedly, “I should honestly get my parents to tell Uncle Garrett and the others off. How could they do this to you?”

“Thanks, Selena.” Ellen felt revolted in her heart. She knew for a fact that Selena was putting on an act, yet she was forced to play along with her. What she was experiencing now was utterly discomforting for her.

“President Presgrave, have some tea.” Selena stood up and took the teapot to fill Jared’s teacup.

“Thank you,” he replied in a low voice.

Compared to Selena, Ellen was naturally not as adept at interacting with others. After Selena took a seat, she lifted her cup. “President Presgrave, I’d like to propose a toast.”

He lifted his teacup slightly to toast her. Instantly, she beamed widely and took over the role of the host instead. “President Presgrave, I’m so impressed by your achievements. You’re tasked to run such a major company at a young age. You must be outstanding!”

Meanwhile, Ellen sat by the side and remained silent. She secretly felt dejected and resigned. Before she knew it, she accidentally choked on her tea while out of focus.

“Uhuk…” She coughed twice, and Selena slapped her on the back quite roughly. Though she appeared to be gentle, she exerted huge force on Ellen.

“Are you alright, Ellie?”

Jared turned to look at Ellen with worry. “Slow down.”

She lifted her head to look at him before turning to Selena and noticing the smug smile on her face that was only comprehensible to herself.

Throughout dinner, Selena was the one who practically dominated the conversation as she came up with various topics to chat about with Jared. She showed off nearly everything that she was well–versed in.

As for Ellen, she became the audience there. Compared to Selena’s impressive upbringing, Ellen’s upbringing was pretty much not worth mentioning.

Jared had been well brought up since he was young; although he did not enjoy the conversation with Selena, he did not reveal the slightest hint of displeasure. He merely focused on studying Ellen’s emotions and took note of her awkward yet polite countenance.

However, Selena remained unaware that her actions had triggered the displeasure of the two. On the contrary, she was annoyed that dinner ended too soon.
