“Wow, who is he?! His looks are out of this world!" Upon hearing this, Selena focused on the direction of their gaze.

Finally, Selena’s jealousy erupted the moment the woman looked in her general direction. Damn it! Why is it her?! Are you tellingthe woman who is accompanying Jared is actually Ellen?! | almost didn’t recognize her! Still, Selena had to admit that after dressing up, Ellen looked exceptionally stunning, for her figure and looks were top-tier. As Ellen stood alongside Jared, her graceful demeanor was very alluring.
This made Selena even more spiteful. Right now, her heart was in utter disarray.
On the other hand, Ellen did not see her since there were too many women who were dressed to kill, making her unable to take it all in. Instead, a lot of jealous gazes were thrown at her.
It was then Jared saw a senior walking up to him. He held Ellen’s hand, saying, “Let's go over and greet someone.” “Hello, Mr. Malik,” greeted Jared. “You're here, Jared! The last twe ate together, it was still in Dansbury!” The senior laughed.
Xavier Malik was the vice president of the Manson Group. Being an influential person in the business world, he contacted Jared's family quite often, so he was somewhat his senior.

A few years flashed by just like that!” “We haven't even met each other after coming back for a. haha!” Xavier patted him on the shoulder, also noticing the beauty standing beside him. “Well, your companion sure is stunning!” “She's Ellen.” Jared looked at her with a smile.
Observing her from head to toe, Xavier knew that Jared's companion was not just snobody. Besides, from Jared's gaze, he knew that this woman was not just his companion for the night.
If she marries the Presgrave Family, her status would be something else. Approaching him with another matter in mind, Xavier smiled and said, “Jared, | have a few friends that want to meet you in private.” Jared nodded before embracing Ellen subtly, whispering gently in her ear, “You can go take a seat there and wait for me. I'll cback for you soon.” Then, Jared called out to a waiter and took a glass of juice, handing it to her. Taking it, Ellen smiled. “Alright. You guys go ahead.” Selena, who had been watching her all this time, wanted to walk up to her when she passed by a couple of women and overheard one of them talking smugly. “He's Jared Presgrave, a classmate of mine during elementary school. | didn’t think that | would bump into him here.” Under the envious gaze of the surrounding ladies, the woman who spoke cast a lovestruck gaze at Jared, who was walking upstairs. “Her went abroad during fifth grade all of a sudden, and | didn’t get to see him after that. But | can tell you he was the brightest person in our school.” “Wow, I'm so jealous of you! You were actually in the sclass as him!” Selena noticed that the woman was, as expected, a typical rich girl. With pretty looks and an elegant demeanor, she was leagues above the women around her. “Our relationship was very close back then, as he even borrowed things from me. He must still remember me,” the girl said confidently.
“Hm, how about his female companion? Who is she? How cwe've never seen her before?”
