Chapter 60
“What’s there to fear about being engaged? It’s common for men to cheat!”
“Exactly. Engagement is not a big deal. Even if you’re married, you can still get a divorce!”
“There’s a saying that when there’s a will, there’s a way!”
“Let’s go and say hello to Mr. Everett!”
“I wouldn’t dare to. I’m not that confident!”
“I’ll go if you don’t!”
“I’ll go tool”
As such, a few beauties, each grabbing a glass in their hands, walked toward Bruce in groups.
When the other two saw that, they also hastened to carry glass and went over.
Indeed, for someone with Bruce’s status, plenty of women were willing to become his lover.
After Bruce entered the venue, he did not say anything.
He went straight to the corner and sat down.
A few bodyguards immediately stood on the sides, forming a half-moon shape.
“Mr. Everett, hello. I am…”
“Mr. Everett doesn’t drink. Thank you!”
Two bodyguards immediately stopped the beauty.
“I just wanted to say hello to Mr. Everett!”
The bodyguards kept silent and forcefully stopped the beauties from approaching.
Several beauties left in dismay after failing to get close to Bruce.
Bruce sat on the couch with a cold face and no words, looking like an honorable man.
The brilliant lights shone on his face, making him look like a Gregan sculpture, looking extremely
handsome.
“Mr. Everett, would you like a drink?”
“No!”
“Okay!”
Bruce was indeed fussy.
He would not touch the wine and the food at this place, not even the fruits.
Usually, when he went out, he would only drink the pure water brought by his assistant, which cost over 150 dollars per bottle.
His falcon-like eyes started looking around in the crowd for Joanna.
Sadly, there was no sign of her after he searched for a round.
It was not yet time for the official start of the party.
Thus, Joanna was still upstairs.
Bruce hated this sort of occasion. Even though he was sitting in the corner, he could feel the glare coming from all sides.

It made him feel totally uneasy, and he wanted to go home.
However, thinking of Joanna, he was suddenly reluctant to leave.
As such, he patiently waited for another ten minutes.
The party officially started.
A room on the second floor swung open slowly.
Joanna came out of it.
The staircase in this mansion was Y-shaped, and both sides could go upstairs, forming a turning stair.
Halfway in the middle, there was a platform for people to stand on and host the event.
Joanna gracefully stepped down to the platform and waved to the crowd downstairs.
She spoke into the microphone. “Welcome to the party, everybody. Let’s have fun tonight!”
Clap! Clap! Clap!
Applause sounded downstairs, and all eyes were on Joanna.
“Wow, Miss Haynes looks gorgeous today! She’s the goddess of my dreams…”
Tonight, Joanna was wearing a dark velvet backless gown.
With her high skirt, her fine legs could be seen clearly.
The back of the gown was empty and displayed the dazzling fair skin on her back perfectly.
As her arms had not completely recovered, she was wearing a pair of black lace arm casts.
Her hair was tied in a bun, and an expensive diamond necklace adorned her neck.
Under the light, she looked extremely elegant and charming.
“Here comes Miss Haynes! Here comes Miss Haynes!”
“Joan, long time no see!”
David welcomed her passionately.
She also smiled and shook David’s hand, followed by a polite kiss on the cheek.
“Long time no see!”
David’s brown eyes kept gazing at Joanna closely. “Joan, you’re gorgeous tonight!”
“Thank you!”
“Let me introduce you to my company…”
“Oh, can we not talk about work tonight?”
David raised an eyebrow and smiled at Joanna.
Joanna smiled apologetically. “Sorry.”
“Let’s welcome Miss Haynes and Mr. David to do the opening dance!”
The guests clapped again.
David took a gentleman bow and made a gesture of invitation.
Joanna smiled while reaching for David’s hand.
David kissed the back of Joanna’s hand gently, and they smiled at each other.

With the sound of a beautiful melody, the two of them started dancing.
They performed a waltz in the middle of the dance floor.
In the corner, Bruce watched the two of them dance amiably, and his face darkened instantly.
As a matter of fact, it was the first time he had seen Joanna in something so revealing and se xy, not to mention her heavy makeup.
Even though she was really beautiful, he did not want so many people to see her se xy side.
“Ahem!”
Bruce frowned and coughed dryly, then loosened his tic.
Immediately, he picked up a glass of wine on the wine table and emptied it.
In fact, he never drank like that at a dinner party.
However, he now only wanted to drink for the moment. He would drink anything in front of him. even whiskey.
On the dance floor, Joanna and David finished dancing to a whole song.
After bowing to the crowd, they walked out of the dance floor.
The emcee took over the rest of the event.
Joanna and David found a corner and sat down.
“Cheers!”
“Cheers!”
David and Joanna exchanged toast and started chatting enthusiastically.
The other guests started inviting their partners into the dance floor.
“Another toast!”
As the host, Joanna could not refuse it.
After she had three drinks with David, her cheeks started to burn hot.
“Cora!”
Joanna lowered her glass and winked at Cora, signaling her to arrange some beauties to entertain. David.
“David, I’d like you to meet some beauties…”
Instantly, Cora summoned some beautiful models.
However, David was not too impressed with the models.
He had only Joanna in his mind.
“Joan, it’s been so long! I’ve got so much to tell you! I’m so glad to see you today! Let’s get wasted tonight!”
David stared at Joanna with an ambiguous look.
Joanna managed a reluctant smile. “I can’t drink anymore…”
“No, no, no. I know how much you can drink! Let’s have another drink! I won’t be happy if you don’t drink!”
Joanna had no choice but to have another round of drinks with David.

However, she was really not good at drinking.
After a dozen glasses of red wine, she was getting drunk and started sweating.
“Joan, you’re really gorgeous tonight!”
David leaned in, thoughtfully wiping the sweat on her face.
Joanna was completely drunk as she started limping on the couch!
“Joan, let’s have another drink. I’m not satisfied yet…”
Seeing that Joanna was drunk, David still offered the drink to Joanna.
In the corner, Bruce’s entire face darkened.
He had been enduring it. After all, he was about to get engaged to Roxanne.
Hence, he did not want to get involved in gossip.
But now, he couldn’t stand it any longer!
