The man was dressed in a quality suit with no tie. His white shirt was matched with a stunning black suit, and a blue silk scarf was tied around the collar to add scolors. He was dressed up in a casual yet courtly style, looking like a gentleman. He obviously stood out from the crowd.
At first glance, Carson recognized him. "It's him! I think that's the guy Evelyn loves! What's his name? He has a rather unique family name, Wrig..." Carson scratched the back of his head, then turned around and exclaimed, "Yes, Franklin Wright! I think he's also the president of a company!" Looking away, he put his arm on Wyatt's shoulder again. He had a gossipy look on his face.
"Lettell you, Evelyn is really into him! She praises him endlessly in front of everyone. She'd boast about his education and the great university he went to. She'd tell people all about his salutations and how many companies his family runs. She'd talk non-stop for ten minutes about him!" "It's drivingnuts! I really don't know what's there to show off about! Anyone can get a degree! I'm also a graduate with a Ph.D. in medicine! Also, a shell company can easily be started with just 100,000 dollars. I would also be able to run hundreds of companies as well!" As he shook his head, Carson continued on, "Hey, he's quite a good-looking man with good taste and temperament. He seems quite qualified. It's obvious that he doesn't belong to the crowd here! What's gone wrong with his taste? How could he actually be into Evelyn? Does she have sinner beauty that we don't know about?" While muttering to himself, Carson glanced at Wyatt.
Not that he was shallow, but even though internal beauty played an important part, her physical appearance was making it a little too difficult! Evelyn not only had an average figure, but she also looked a little ugly! Anyway, he wasn't someone who could accept someone like her, whose skin was rough, and who had buck teeth! "However, I can't see that she has any inner beauty either..." One could easily see through her character and mannerisms. Everything she talked about was related to money, and it was an obvious show of power. Her father, on the contrary, was just a generous person. He wasn't as bad as his daughter! "Do you know what birthday present Franklin's given her? A custom-made platinum diamond bracelet with the numbers 521 on it. He even put it on her personally! He was there for the cakecutting and they even danced together as if they were already married! Do you know what the number means? Look, that's the bracelet showing on the screen!" Following Carson's gaze, Wyatt saw the scene of them cutting the cake from last ton the screen. The camera happened to be focused on Evelyn's wrist. There was a sparkling bracelet on it. The thick bracelet was connected to two diamonds. In between the diamonds were the numbers "521". Wyatt couldn't help but frowned.

It would still be somehow acceptable if they were childhood sweethearts. However, according to speople, they had just known each other for about a year and a half! Carson was still speaking when Wyatt nudged his elbow away as he turned around. Wyatt gave him a sidelong glance and said, "You've spoken for more than ten minutes!" After that, Wyatt went straight inside.
"Hey, what do you mean? Wasn't it you who asked? Wyatt, you meanie!" Did Wyatt make fun of him and even called him annoying? Carson let out a plaintive sigh and followed Wyatt.
It was rare for him to have toff, and it was essentially a free meal on top of that. Wyatt walked to the side and picked up sfood without hesitation. Then, he surreptitiously glanced at the main table. Right then, Franklin and Evelyn whispered into each other's ears. They did look particularly intimate! However, just as Carson had said, they were really not a good match! As the saying went, where there's smoke, there's fire. In fact, Wyatt knew that Franklin was far more interested in her family's riches.
The easiest way for Franklin to get the favor and full support of a woman in the shortest amount of twould be to go for what sheet lacked. Only then, her desperation and eagerness to please him would allow him to get what he wanted as soon as possible and get a divorce after that! After all, the Wright High Group was truly down in the dumps then! Suddenly, the image of a beautifully gentle, smart but slightly stubborn woman appeared in Wyatt's mind.
Comparing the two, the difference was astronomical! Wyatt thought of Waverly.
She was a puzzling yet interesting woman.
He rarely remembered a woman's name, but strangely, hers was imprinted on his mind even though he'd only heard it once.
Swirling the red wine in his hand, Wyatt's thoughts wandered. When he cto his senses again, Carson nudged him.
"Hey, what are you thinking about? You look so happy and you even chuckled!" Carson blinked his curious eyes as he stared at Wyatt. Pushing Carson's head away, Wyatt said, "Stay away from me. You wouldn't mind that, but I'm afraid that people would think that I'm gay!" "Then tellwhat you're thinking? It's definitely not about work, or is it..." Was he thinking about a woman? Suddenly inspired, Carson seemed to see the old Willy, and his eyes began to gleam. What was the situation? Was he going to be sucked into the blackhole of romance again? Was marriagecontagious? It seemed that they were getting married one after another! If so, why was Carson still all right? Was he immune to the charms of marriage because he studied medicine?
Thinking about it, a myriad of emotions flashed across Carson's face. In the end, they all turned into bitterness. One by one, his friends were all going to abandon him. Wasn't that cruel of them? "I'm going to wash my hands!" Ignoring him, Wyatt just put down his glass and walked out of the door. At that moment, someone went over to chat with Carson, so he was left behind.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen he left the room, Wyatt's cell phone rang. He pressed the answer button and walked to a quiet corner beside the window.
After finishing the call, he walked towards the restroom.
There was only one restroom on each floor, which was in the totally opposite direction. So, he walked past the large banquet hall again before he turned to the other corridor which was relatively secluded.
As soon as he walked out of the corridor, he suddenly heard snoises. Subconsciously, Wyatt m stopped Abthat time, a low voice of people chatting seemed to be coming out from the female restroom. "Promise me... Don't leave tonight, okay?" "Don't be like this. The guests are waiting..." "Franklin..." The npiqued Wyatt's curiosity,
and Wyatt was shocked by the whispers that would make people's imaginations run wild. Unknowingly, Yorkwingly, he took a few steps forward. Sure enough, when he poked his head out a little, he could ambiguously see two familiar figures intertwined together passionately next to an empty space beside a big pot of decorative plant! X
