Chapter 275
It's like he was born for the stage.
Even if he wasn’t doing anything, as long as he was up there, people felt refreshed and happy.
In the evening, Violette drove Adrian to the party address that Mike had sent.
After they arrived at the hotel, they both got out of the car.
"Adrian, tonight's guests are all my friends and Mike's friends," Violette said with a smile. "Tonight is
mainly about celebrating Peter's arrest, which has been a burden on my heart."
"I know, you've told me," Adrian smiled, looking at her face. "I can definitely feel that you're in an
especially good mood today." All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
They enter the hotel and go to the banquet hall Mike mentioned.
As soon as they entered, her smile disappeared.
What the hell?!
Why are there so many strangers here?
Did they go to the wrong place?
But, she could clearly see Mike in the crowd.
Mike saw Violette and came over quickly.
"Violette, you're here! Adrian, you're here too!"
Violette pulled Mike out of the banquet hall and asked him what was going on.
"Well... when I invited Joey, he said his company was having a dinner party tonight, and they'd booked
a big banquet hall so we could all eat together. It's a way to save money, right?" Mike said with a
cunning glint in his eye.
Violette's eyes were practically shooting flames!
Was she not willing to spend money when she was in such a good mood today?
"Don't worry! Elijah usually doesn't come to the Bourne Group's parties," Mike explained. "They have a
dinner party every two weeks, and Elijah can't possibly come to every one. According to Joey, Elijah
only shows up during holiday gatherings, and tonight isn't a holiday, so he won't be here! I swear!"
Mike raised his hand to swear.
At that moment, they heard the sound of dress shoes tapping the floor behind them.
Violette looked back.
Elijah strode towards them.
Violette slapped Mike's raised hand down.
Mike took a deep, embarrassed breath and whispered to Violette, "What do we do? Everyone I invited
is already inside sitting, down. I can't just make them leave and change a palce, can I?"
Elijah came over, his deep eyes resting on Violette's face. "Congratulations."
Violette frowned.
He continued, "Your net worth just increased by 500 million dollars."
Violette raised an eyebrow. "Oh... don't you usually skip company dinners?"
"I come when I want to. There's no fixed rule," he said casually, not forgetting to mock her. "Are you
drinking tonight?"
Violette replied stubbornly, "I'll drink if I want to. There's no fixed rule."
Elijah gave her a deep look and then removed his gaze, striding into the banquet hall.
Mike pulled Violette along after him.
"If we leave now, he'll definitely think we're scared of him!" Mike tried to convince her. "Tonight, not only
should we eat more, but we should also order a few bottles of good wine! After all, he's paying."
Violette glared at Mike. "Aren't you embarrassed?"
Mike smiled charmingly. "He's not my ex-husband. You're the one who should be embarrassed."
Violette decided never to let him organize a dinner party again.
"Where's Adrian?" Violette suddenly realized Adrian was gone and looked around.
