Chapter 752: Chapter 752: Aren’t You?
Even though his face was full of embarrassment, his unusually dark pupils remained immobile, staring intently at the person in front of him.
This beautiful and bright woman, even if committing the most outrageous actions, still remains unpunishable, making people feel that every one of her movements is incredibly gentle.
A hint of amusement and tenderness slowly surfaced in the man’s eyes, and he even voluntarily opened the wine bottle, asking, "Do you want more?"
Hannah rubbed her hand, declining, "My hand hurts."
George River felt that he might indeed be bewitched, because in front of him, seeing her frown and grumble adorably, he felt a pang in his heart and he unexpectedly volunteered, "Should I do it myself?"
He has a cleanliness fetish, yet he tolerates wearing a suit soaked in red wine.
Hannah shook her head, breathed a sigh of resignation, gave a faint smile and said coldly, "I haven’t thought about cheating on your uncle, so what use is it for you to drench yourself in so much red wine?"
The man’s expression faltered for a moment, hid away and returned to normal, "I only hope you would return to Prideful, anyone else, even if they offer you the best conditions, they’re only up to no good."
"So they’re up to no good. Does that mean you’re not?"
A pair of dark eyes sparkled, with a long diamond earring dangling just right beside her face, her exquisite collarbones, and her delicate, glossy skin.
George River fell silent.
The conversation between them provoked limitless speculation from everyone else.
George River’s attitude and posture didn’t seem like he was there to settle a score, but rather, like he was there to court someone.
However, it’s a pity that even the heir to the River family couldn’t win over this dainty flower.
In a secluded place, a figure lurked in the shadows, his gaze passing over the crowd, a cigarette in his fingers, the flame flickering.
It was only when the slender figure turned and left that the man retracted his gaze, raised his hand and placed the cigarette to his lips.
A low chuckle wrapped up in a strong smell of smoke.
Who would have thought they’d come across such a spectacle not even halfway through the party, though no paparazzi and reporters were present, there were many people in the know and it was only a matter of time before word got out.
However, out of consideration for the prestige of the River family, everyone was slightly restrained.
Even though George River wasn’t present at the party, not a single soul dared to approach Hannah and ask her anything, only occasional glances were thrown her way by some minor celebrities in the circle.
Most of them were unfriendly, resenting Hannah for stealing the show at the party.
After all, there were many who wished to climb atop George River, but it was rumored that he was utterly devoted to his childhood sweetheart, and who could have expected that now...
Hannah sat alone for quite a while, but no one dared to disturb her.
She lowered her head to look at her phone.
Louis Snyder sent a message, one asking if she’d eaten, and another asking when she would come back.
Displaying himself as nothing more than a caring lapdog.
She didn’t reply.
There was also a message from Jackie Qualls, congratulating her on her successful performance tonight.
It did go quite smoothly.
She didn’t even have to check, Teresa Gordon had already compiled the trending topics and sent them to her.
Almost a four-minute performance, seven of the related trending topics were about her. But even so, they couldn’t suppress the #Smile 9 Performance Flop trend.
The audience was making fun of it, and her competitor took advantage of the situation and bought a lot of marketing accounts to spread the news.
The calls for her to go solo were very high online.
As for this, Teresa Gordon simply told her not to respond, to give it the cold shoulder, and not to make excuses for the other members of the group.
Everyone is truly disappointed, after all, they were a group formed from a talent show, performing while fully open-mic should be the bare minimum, yet the end result was utterly disappointing.
