"Old Mr. Riley, I..."
Before Emma finished her refusal, the Old Riley went away to greet his old friends.
Baron curled his lips into a pleasant smile, knowing his father supported him. The closer Emma was to the Riley family, the higher the possibility was for her to return.
Emma couldn't let the young people be the only ones to greet the guests, so she joined them.
Many guests had noticed it, exchanging smiles with each other.
Some asked, "Ms. Lawson and Mr. Drake Riley have married. Ms. Glass, when will you and Mr. Baron Riley remarry?"
"Exactly! We can tell he treats you nicely."
Before Emma explained, Baron wrapped his arms around her shoulder and smiled dotingly.
"As long as she tells me she's ready, we can remarry anytime."
"Emma, all our friends want us to make up. You can't let them down."
Emma didn't respond.
Earlier, she wanted to explain, but so many people had misunderstood. Even if she said something, they wouldn't believe her. Therefore, she kept silent.
When Molly took the Old Stein's arm and entered, Sophia greeted them with a smile, although Molly had always caused her trouble.
"Old Mr. Stein, Molly, thank you for coming."
Many guests watched them. Earlier, the two families had conflicts. Others expected to see something happen when they met again, although it was a special occasion.
"Good evening, Mrs. Riley."
Sophia showed them the way. Nothing happened as others had expected.
When Sophia turned around, she saw Jessica entering with the president of Cannon Group. Surprised, Sophia was curious about the relationship between them. After all, it was an important occasion. Instead of taking his wife, the president of Cannon Group let Jessica be his date.
As soon as they appeared, others discussed.
"See the woman entering with the president of Cannon Group? She's capable. I wonder what she has done to make him treat her so well."
"I heard of it as well. Recently, the president of Cannon Group has always let her be his female companion in every event."
"Do they have an affair?"
In the upper class, a wealthy man could have several mistresses, which wasn't news. Therefore, they thought it was normal.
"I heard the president of Cannon Group had never stayed overnight in her house. They might not have that kind of relationship."
Molly didn't make trouble, but it didn't mean Jessica would be the same. However, for the sake of Cannon Group's president, Sophia had to greet them.
