When Vivian returned to the banquet hall, she did not focus on John and Nina but on two men standing not far away.
They were Adrian and Henry.
After a few moments, she looked away and spotted Vera.
"Vera." Vivian walked over to her, a glass of red wine in hand.
Seeing Vivian, Vera whispered something to her mother and excused herself.
"Vivian, I've been looking for you everywhere. Where have you been?" Vera seldom attended banquets, and she had just returned from abroad. She did not know many ladies in Lexingport City.
She had just met Vivian recently when the latter accidentally occupied her parking space.
Unbeknownst to Vera, her meeting with Vivian was not a coincidence. It was part of Vivian's elaborate plan.
"I accompanied Jessica upstairs. I want to make sure she's okay. She's a little tired. She's resting now." Vivian clinked glasses with Vera. "Have you met my brother?"
"No, not yet." Vera took a sip of her wine and shook her head. "I'm excited to meet Henry. I'm really curious about him."
"He's over there." Vivian turned around and pointed toward Adrian and Henry's direction. Adrian was blocking Henry from her view.
No wonder Vera had not met Henry.
But Adrian also liked Vera, didn't he? Adrian should know that Henry was Vera's fiance-to-be, and yet they always hung out. This was weird.
It was known that John was on good terms with Adrian and Henry. In the past, everyone regarded the Shi family as the most powerful family in the city.
Since Henry became the CEO of Ye Group, peace reigned over the three major families of Lexingport City.
It was hard for Vivian to sow discord among them and use it against them.
Vivian sneered in her heart. The only way to ignite chaos was to turn Henry and Adrian against each other.
"Come. I'll introduce you to your future husband." Vivian smiled, her eyes glinting with malice.
"Okay. Thank you, Vivian." Vera was really curious about her fiance-to-be, so she excitedly went with Vivian.
Vera grew up receiving family education. She put her family's interests first, so she agreed to her arranged marriage with Ye Group's CEO.
Nevertheless, the one who was able to be the CEO must be a great man.
Besides, Vera had not met a man she liked when she was abroad. As soon as she came home, she heard a lot of good things about Henry. Few women could resist excellent and handsome men.
"Henry, Adrian." Vivian greeted them and ushered Vera forward.
Adrian turned around and saw a petite and lovely woman standing beside Vivian. Squinting his charming eyes, he said in a slightly frivolous tone, "And who is this beautiful lady you're with, Vivian?"
"My name is Vera Fu. I'm so glad to finally meet my fiance." Vera greeted the two with a smile.
Adrian froze at once.
'Vera?
Henry's fiancee-to-be?
How could she be so impolite? They're not engaged yet. She can't call Henry her fiance!
Fuck!' he thought.
"Miss Fu, don't you think it's too early for you to call Henry your fiance?" Adrian's face darkened. "You're not engaged yet."
Vera was stunned. Was he not smiling at her just now? How could he change his face so abruptly?
"It doesn't matter. We will be engaged soon." Vera looked at Henry and flashed him a sweet smile.
