The Triplets My Ex Never Knew About novel Chapter 107

Chapter 107: Chapter 107: Miss Yara Lockwood, The Person I Am Inviting Is You

The ball began.

The crowd saw Noelle Lockwood, dressed to the nines, standing beside Laura Jennings.

Someone with a sharp eye took a few glances and suddenly spoke up.

"Miss Noelle and Mr. Sloan seem to be wearing matching outfits!"

"It’s true! And Miss Noelle is standing right next to the Head of the Sloans and Mrs. Sloan. It looks like Mr. Sloan will definitely ask her for the first dance, won’t he?"

"Is there even a question? After all, she’s the daughter-in-law Mrs. Sloan has her heart set on..."

Although there had been a small incident at the entrance earlier, everyone present was smart enough not to mention it, giving Noelle Lockwood plenty of face.

Laura Jennings patted Noelle Lockwood’s hand in satisfaction. "Noelle, in a moment, you’ll have a wonderful dance with Nathaniel. Let some of these blind fools see just who it is Nathaniel holds dearest!"

Ethan Sloan frowned at her words, but he didn’t say anything more.

Noelle Lockwood gave a shy smile. "I’m surprised that Nathaniel is coming to ask me."

Laura Jennings looked at her as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. "What’s there to be surprised about? For so many years, you and Nathaniel have always had the first dance. This is what you deserve. Some people can try to steal it, but they’ll never succeed!"

Estelle Lockwood let out a sarcastic laugh.

’Right.’

’Laura Jennings had said the same thing five years ago.’

’At the banquet that day, she had waited with bated breath for Nathaniel Sloan to ask her to dance. Instead, he walked right past her, and Laura Jennings began to mock her.’

’Her taunts grew louder and louder until everyone around could hear them.’

’Everyone watched as her husband and her sister danced in the middle of the floor.’

’They watched as her mother-in-law berated her—’

’Know your place.’ ’Don’t covet what doesn’t belong to you.’ ’It has always been Noelle who dances with Nathaniel. What right do you have to even try and take that away?’

A dark smile touched Estelle Lockwood’s lips.

Nathaniel Sloan’s eyes, cool and indifferent, glanced her way before he began to walk over slowly.

The surroundings quieted down, and many people were silently envying Noelle Lockwood.

No matter what had happened in the past, and no matter how many scandals were attached to Noelle Lockwood’s name now, as long as she had Nathaniel Sloan protecting her, no one could afford to cross her.

Today’s dance was a signal. Nathaniel Sloan was using this opportunity to tell everyone that Noelle Lockwood was under his protection, and no one was to touch her.

Nathaniel Sloan drew closer and closer.

A blush crept onto Noelle Lockwood’s face.

Laura Jennings was overjoyed. "Oh, Noelle, what are you being shy for? Quick, Nathaniel’s coming over!"

Noelle Lockwood couldn’t resist glancing at Estelle Lockwood, her heart swelling with smug satisfaction.

’She really thought she was something, huh? In the end, isn’t Nathaniel still going to dance with me?’

Noelle Lockwood had already arranged for it. As soon as she and Nathaniel Sloan began to dance, press releases would flood the entire internet!

Nathaniel Sloan had reached her side.

Noelle Lockwood demurely extended her hand. "Nathaniel..."

Nathaniel Sloan grunted in acknowledgment, made a gentlemanly gesture, and extended his own hand.

Noelle Lockwood’s excitement surged, her heart pounding like a drum. ’Take my hand! Let that bitch Estelle watch and burn with envy!’

The next moment, under the watchful eyes of the entire room, Nathaniel Sloan turned slightly to face the person beside Noelle Lockwood.

"Miss Yara, may I have this dance?"

...

...

The entire hall fell dead silent. You could have heard a pin drop.

Everyone wondered if they had misheard.
