Chapter 566
Before, when the two families were engaged, Adrian ditched Hailey at the Apex Horizon Speedway and demanded the Wynn family pay for half the bet.
Then he just cut off all contact with the Wynns.
If it were any other family, wouldn’t they have gotten their revenge the second they had the upper hand?
But the Wynns p>
These past few days, the Coles just spent a few million on some gifts to smooth things over, and the Wynns acted like nothing ever happened.
It was laughably cheap.
If Mrs. Cole hadn’t heard that Hailey had connections to the Lancaster family’s heiress and had also caught Ms. Rainsford’s eye, she really wouldn’t want to be in- laws with such upstarts.
But now… it seemed the Wynn family really did produce a fine daughter.
With that thought, the smile on Mrs. Cole’s face became a little more genuine.
“Ugh, the Wynns… Don’t tell me they think this event is their personal victory party?” Black Jack leaned back lazily in her chair, glanced over at the Wynn family, and rolled her eyes. “Dressed up like Christmas trees. Are they really so shameless they can’t see the weird looks everyone’s giving them p>
Serena didn’t even bother to look up, her eyes fixed on her phone. Her voice was flat. “Because morons always have their own self-consistent logic. To them, other people’s strange looks are probably just envy and jealousy p>
“Total morons,” Black Jack muttered, pursing her lips. “Still, it’s no wonder she’s so confident, considering she entered the competition by plagiarizing your design p>
Serena just gave a noncommittal “mm-hmm p>
Black Jack felt Demon’s attitude was a bit too dismissive.
She slung an arm around Serena’s neck and peeked over. “Who’s in that phone, anyway? You’ve been glued to it since you sat down. Is your best friend here less interesting than your phone p>
The name Nicholas came into view.
The two of them were chatting.
Black Jack immediately saw the string of messages Nicholas had sent.
The cheesiness of the content made her rub her arms. “Ew, Demon… this guy you’ve got your eye on… is so cringe p>
Serena could only manage a reluctant, “Yeah p>
He was, after all, a man paying homage to that sappy novel. If
Donet
Nicholas dign’t delete that book, he’d probably become more and more
like its main character.
She put her phone away. “Aren’t we here to watch the show? What are you doing staring at my phone p>
Black Jack’s eyes went wide, and she clicked her tongue. “Demon, you’re done for! You didn’t even deny that he’s the guy you’ve got your eye on p>
Serena was speechless.
Her dark lashes fluttered.
It seemed she really hadn’t caught the implication in Black Jack’s words at first.
She pressed her lips together and retorted flatly, “I just couldn’t be bothered to correct you p>
Black Jack tsk-tsked a few more times, her face full of teasing.
Just then, Daphne’s assistant came over and asked Serena to come backstage to discuss the new direction for Queen.
Serena looked at Black Jack.
to you guys
Black Jack plopped herself back into the chair. “I have zero interest in all that jewelry design stuff. Listening mble on about designs would put me right to sleep. I’d rather stay here and watch the drama unfold p>
Serena narrowed her eyes. “Then you’d better behave and stay here. Don’t wander off p>
Black Jack immediately flashed an angelic smile. “I’m always good p>
Serena didn’t believe for a second
that her
est friend would behave
She looked at Daphne’s assistant.
“You keep an eye on her for me. Don’t let her run off
The assistant was confused.
Wait, he was Ms. Rainsford’s assistant! He had so much to do at such an important
event!
