Gerald shook his head.
“Hmph, it’s fine if you don’t go. Why are you putting up a show?”
A female secretary said in dissatisfaction.
After that, they went to the desk where Leon was sitting to give him a toast.
Seeing that everyone came to give a toast to her boyfriend, Xyla peeked at Gerald coldly, who was sitting there all alone.
She badly wanted to enjoy the look of humiliation and uneasiness on Gerald’s face.
‘How dare you reject me that year! Look at the difference between you and me!
‘No, look at the disparity between you and my boyfriend!’
‘Do you really think that I invited you out of goodwill?
‘You’re wrong!’
Xyla wanted to humiliate Gerald deliberately. She thought that the humiliation he suffered would be greater if the environment they were in was grander.
She usually did not have the chance to experience that kind of pleasure from revenge.
On the other hand, Vincy saw Gerald sitting there alone. It became clear to her that Xyla invited him here just to embarrass him.
She wanted to go and keep Gerald company.
“Where are you going?”
At last, Lennard grabbed Vincy’s arm savagely.
Vincy never expected to see Lennard act like this.
She realized that what Xyla said just now might have influenced Lennard.
So Vincy refrained from saying anything else.
At that moment, there were a lot of people from the neighboring tables who came to toast Leon and Xyla.
While attending to these people, Xyla stole a glance at Gerald.
The more she looked at him, the happier she became.
But in that instant.
“Mr. Crawford!”
Suddenly, someone shouted.
The person who shouted was a middle-aged man. He was surrounded by a lot of people, and he seemed like a very influential person.
