Chapter 041
There were lots of guests inside the lobby, but!
Even so. Henry‘s eves were immediately drawn to a male and female among the crowd talking with
pleasure at the champapne serving
counter Instantly! He looked like he was gonna kill somebody! Kelly noticed something wrong with him,
and looked in the direction of his eyesight, then she was stunned. She couldn‘t help shouting: “OMG,
how come Nova is with Chester?” Kelly felt puzzled, wondering if Nova really wanted a divorce instead of
just making Henry jealous. Otherwise there was no way Nova would show up with Henry‘s foe at the
banquet in front of so many guests. That was a huge insult to Henry, so it was more impossible for him to
forgive Nova. Henry gathered his senses, but that angry look in his eyes was still there Nova and
Chester seemed to notice it and looked in the direction of the door together. Her glance hesitated and the
next moment she lifted the corner of her mouth, and then her indifferent sight fell onto Kelly. Seeing her
in a red evening dress, Nova couldn‘t help lifting her eyebrows. Actually Kelly was also a gorgeous
woman and good at dressing herself up. That sick–looking and elegant oval face of hers really attracted
adoration. How was it possible that her sick complexion couldn‘t be covered by her make–up? It was just
that she put such a make–up on purpose. Chester turned to look at Nova and saw ease in her eyes, and
he lifted the corner of his mouth, saying: “Are you afraid?” “Afraid?” A surprising look swept across
Nova‘s face and she said: “You‘ve been a rival to Henry for so many years, others might not know how is
the relationship between him and me, but I‘m sure you know it clearly.” Chester lifted his eyebrows and
didn‘t say a word. Nova lifted the glass of champagne in her hand, and Chester clinked her glass at
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtease. Nova put on a little smile and said: “I‘m determined to do what I‘m going to do today. President Don
has helped me this far, if I quit half–way through, that will definitely fail his expectations.” Chester
laughed and said: “I didn‘t bet on the wrong horse indeed.” Nova moved her lips backward and then lifted
the goblet close to her lips slowly and took a sip. Hairs dropped down at both sides of her cheek, she
gently raised her hand and tucked them behind her ears. It was irresistibly sexy for
anyone to see the way she tucked her hairs and drank the champagne at the same time. Chester‘s gaze
got more profound and said: “Nova, maybe I‘m good choice for you, I won‘t restrain you from doing
something and fear a notorious reputation, but I wonder if you can bear the consequences.” Nova
laughed and shook the goblet in her hand. Seeing the champagne move up and down in the glass, she
couldn‘t help saying in a low voice: “I‘ve almost had enough this time, I‘m afraid I won‘t have much fight
left in me in the future.” Actually, Chester and Henry were people alike, too bad two companies had been
adds all the time and that made them rivals, otherwise these two men could have established a strong
bond. Both of them were cold–blooded and merciless, and they did anything possible just to get they
ever wanted. Nova had enough putting up with a guy of vigor, resolution and decisiveness. Let alone she
had been deeply hurt in a relationship, so she didn‘t want to repeat the same mistake. Chester put on a
smile and said nothing ever since. He knew when to stop in a conversation. At this moment, Henry was
walking towards Nova in a rage, Kelly‘s eyelashes slightly shook, and she hurried to catch up with him,
saying in a gentle tone: “Henry, I know you‘re really pissed of now, but we‘re now at a banquet after all,
all eyes are on us.”
Chapter 042 Henry even didn‘t bother to take a look at her. – Seeing Nova and Chester still have a good
time talking, Kelly sneered inside her heart. She thought, the trap she had been setting up for three years
straight would finally work out today. Kelly thought, since Nova fell into this trap voluntarily and she, as
her older sister, wasn‘t supposed to be the one to blame. Today was the birthday banquet for the
grandpa of the Smith Family, but now it was all about these four people. Of course, the main event was
the rivalry between Henry and Chester. Would it be a fight in which the winner went home with a wife?
The show coming up might be quite fun to watch! Henry, with all eyes on him, already walked before
Nova. Everyone could see the gloominess in his eyes and chilling look on his face. Nova raised her head
and happened to see those two before her, with her lips slightly pulled back, she said, : “Here you come.”
The understatement in her tone didn‘t carry many emotions, Chester, also with his lips pulled backward
slightly, said: “President King, it‘s so rare to see you attend a banquet with a woman other than Nova.”
Nova?
The look on Henry‘s face got even more chilling! He sneered and said: “It‘s also my first time to see
President Don come to a banquet with a female company, and she‘s my wife.” Kelly looked anxious for
she didn‘t know whether Henry said this because there were many out here or he just couldn‘t get over
Nova. Chester pulled his lips backward even further and replied: “Your wife?” Nova put on a half smile,
and the indifference in her eyes antagonized Henry pretty much! He looked at her expressionlessly:
“How long do you plan to keep your unreasonable act going?” Nova put on a little smile and said:
“President King, you‘re worrying too much. But if you want me to act unreasonably, I can make a
scene as you wished.” “Nova!” People could notice that Henry was gritting his teeth when he spoke. But
Nova had no intention to talk to Henry, so she turned to Chester and siniled: “I think you‘ve got lots of
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmacquaintances to talk to, right?
I‘m going with you, sounds good?” Chester chuckled and replied: “Sure.” He lifted his arm and extended
it to Nova, the moment Nova raised her arm, it felt like her arm was so heavy like thousands of pounds
that she couldn‘t lift it. When she turned her head, she saw that eyes filled with rage of Henry. Kelly took
a breath, seeing that Henry was about to go there and drag Nova away, she grabbed his hands and said:
“Henry.” She was looking at him and reminded him of the crowd around with her eyes. Henry didn‘t move
with his lips closed, and at this moment, Nova found her senses back, and then she put her arm around
Chester‘s at
ease.
With Henry, no, with everyone present watching, Chester took Nova to Hill, the man who spoke to
Chester just now. Feeling totally flattered, President Hill greeted in a hurry: “President Don, you wanna a
drink?” Chester smiled and shook the glass of champagne in his hand and said: “Thanks, but I‘m driving
today, so I‘ll pass.” President Hill put on a flattery smile and replied: “It‘s okay, I totally understand. I‘ve
been hoping to treat you to dinner, but I didn‘t get the chance, I‘m wondering if you‘re available these
days, President Don.” Chester smiled and said: “Let‘s see.” Feeling impulsive to insist, but he could do
nothing but smile, because it was good enough that Chester came talk to him first. He didn‘t have the
guts to mention cooperation again for he feared that it might drive Chester away. So he turned to look at
Nova and sized her up from top to bottom. He thought, this woman is such a hot number! No wonder
President King liked her, and President Don was willing to make an exception and had her as a
company. After a moment of hesitation, he couldn‘t resist the curiosity and said with a smile on his face:
“Mrs. King, could you please tell me why you come to this banquet with President Don?”
