Ella was not interested in the gossip. After all, she wasn't the leading lady.
As for the leading actress, someone said that she was a young girl with an angelic appearance called Amber, who had recently become a great sensation on the mainland.
Now even though the leading actor was there, she wasn't there, which proved to everyone that Amber felt superior and arrogant.
In a low voice, Ella was asking Eden about the children, when a group of women squealed in unison, in front of them, forcing her to stop the conversation.
"Oh my God! Why is Samuel here?"
"That internationally known top lawyer?"
"Yeah!" "That's him! Do you see the girl by his side? That's his fiancee." They spoke out loud in high-pitched voices.
Suddenly, one of them glanced back at Ella.
Ella became puzzled. Why would she look back at me? She thought.
Ella was quite happy to see Samuel appear with Catherine, hand in hand.
She hardly knew people here, so it would be fun to play some tricks on Catherine when she was bored later on.
In the near distance, Samuel and Joseph were talking and laughing in delight.
Three minutes after Samuel's appearance, Amber finally showed up, arm in arm with a popular male model.
Wearing a white evening dress, she seemed more angelic than described. Her little slender figure could easily arouse men's tender affections.
People were surprised that Amber greeted Samuel first and then Joseph.
It seemed very clear that Samuel's appearance was quite important at the event.
Swirling her wine glass in boredom, Ella resumed her conversation with Eden.
At this time, two female actresses approached her. They were known as the industry's biggest gossips, always sticking their noses in other people's business.
There was a corridor on the right leading to the backyard garden and the bathroom.
Ella moved inward slightly, to give them space to pass.
However, they moved in Ella's direction, prompting Ella to think that they were approaching her.
"Are you the second leading lady, Ella?" One of them stared at Ella, wide-eyed.
These two women were merely supporting actress, but they were quite beautiful.
Then she smiled slightly, "Yes. I am."
"We heard that you were Samuel's ex-wife, is it true?" The other one asked directly.
Ella was slightly stunned by her direct question, when a familiar figure appeared in the corner of her eyes.
Flashing a charming smile, she swirled the wine glass and responded, "Samuel? That lusty lawyer? I don't know him at all."
Lusty?
This caught Samuel's attention and he stopped dead in his tracks, his face turning red with anger.
The two actresses had no idea that Samuel was behind them. They were surprised and asked again, "You don't know him? If you don't know him, how can you know he is lusty?"
Good question. Ella pretended to think about it for a while, and then said, "One of his many girlfriends told me."
Yes. She herself was one of his girlfriends before. Ella then sipped her wine. Samuel could see her side profile clearly.
They hadn't seen each other for four years. Now, her every move was alluring, sexy and charming.
Samuel smiled and said calmly :"Oh right. After our divorce, Miss Bo got so many lovers. No wonder she can't remember her ex-husband."
After their divorce?
Samuel was really good at distancing himself from this affair, but his words received no reaction from Ella.
