It'll Come Naturally

Chapter 327 It's You Mary

It was bound to be a remarkable night in S City tonight. All the senior executives from different companies gathered in the most luxurious Kate Hotel to attend the anniversary ceremony of the FX International Group. The exceptionally grand occasion was unprecedented in S City. It was the most important business party wherein businessmen could seize the opportunity to create numerous hidden business opportunities. Many people felt lucky and excited about attending the ceremony, because in the next second, the chance of being a millionaire could fall for them.

The Kate Hotel belonged to the FX International Group and was the only six-star hotel in S City. It occupied a land of 300 acres, adjacent to a diversified virgin forest park. The surrounding area was a variety of shops and commercial office buildings. The transportation in the vicinity was very convenient. The hotel boasted of spacious and brightly lit hotel rooms, along with the unique combination of European concept and Chinese style in interior design. The hotel left a deep impression on its guests with its grandeur, while simultaneously making them feel at home. The guests could also enjoy the convenient communication, audio-visual entertainment system, and wireless broadband network.

Beautiful ladies and luxurious cars were typical for any party. When the sunset gradually faded from the horizon and the street lights began to light up the sky, luxurious cars swarmed in. As the acting CEO of the Lin Group, Jessica was among the guest list. In the past, she always walked haughtily in her high heels while holding Edward's arm as they entered the hotel. But this time, she came alone and kept a low profile.

Due to the pregnancy, her waist had become a little round. But it hadn't affected her overall attractive image. She intentionally chose a strapless evening dress that made her figure look more impressive, especially her plump breasts. Her alluring breasts danced along with her pace, as if they would fall out any time. Jessica triggered all the men's imagination with her slip skirt. Glimpses of her legs underneath gave a hint of sexy appeal with her every step. It was unquestionable that such a gorgeous woman would be a stunner in the eyes of men.

Standing at the entrance of Kate Hotel, she had to take a deep breath to conceal her abjection. What a ridiculous turn of events! At the same time last year, she swaggered past all the women that Edward had abandoned before. But now, she was the one thrown out of the game. She couldn't accept this fact.

"Oh! Who might this be? It turns out to be the famous Jessica Lin!" As soon as Jessica paused at the entrance, someone's mocking voice rang loudly. Jessica inadvertently frowned and wondered who would be so bold as to intentionally add insult to injury.

"Oh, it's you, Mary." Jessica felt reluctant to keep company with people like Mary who had humble origins. So when she saw Mary's ostentatious attire, she wasn't inclined to chat with her.

"Yes, it's me. Why do you seem so surprised? As far as I know, you've become the woman of Edward's past. I wonder what gives you the courage to attend such a grand party? Don't you fear losing face in public?" Mary stroked her hair coquettishly and narrowed her eyes at Jessica. She could feel the contempt in Jessica's eyes towards her. Jessica was just another woman whom Edward had abandoned. How could she still be so arrogant?

"Don't be ridiculous. Why should I fear losing face? No one knows who the final winner is. While you, Mary, you can't even get a chance to touch Edward's sleeves. Don't deny that you have feelings for Edward," Jessica sneered. Beneath her delicate face covered with heavy makeup, her heart was filled with the intense desire to tear Mary's foul mouth apart.

"Ha! Jessica, don't tell me that you still have an ace up your sleeve. You can't get Edward back even with the child in your womb. What else do you have?" Mary raised her chin smugly. If the Lin Group hadn't suffered the financial crisis, Jessica might have the nerve to challenge Mary. Since the Lin Group was on the verge of bankruptcy, Mary wondered what Jessica could use against her.

"Mary, don't you find yourself ridiculous? We've never interacted before. Why do you keep pestering me?" Jessica raised her head and received curious gazes from other guests. She bit her lip, her face turning red with anger. Mary's words hit home, and she was heartbroken with this fact. Edward refused to get back with her despite her pregnancy. Even worse, he had become more indifferent to her. She didn't know what else she could do to win him back.

"Huh! Yes, you're right, we've never interacted, but your haughty behavior in the past has been a constant eyesore. The sight of you is offending." Mary detested it when other people intentionally displayed their superiority in front of her. She always felt insecure in the face of Jessica's arrogance. Most importantly, she felt extremely jealous that Jessica had enjoyed Edward's affections for so many years. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

"You're crazy, Mary. I'm warning you, you'd better not provoke me tonight. I think you don't need me to remind you, you know how I deal with things. You and I are the same kind, so you can imagine what to expect if you dare anger me." Jessica was a woman with not just beautiful looks. She was more clever than Mary. She could easily figure out what was on Mary's mind.

"You're fucking crazy. Jessica, if we weren't at this place, I would make you pay for your insults. As you've said, you and I are the same kind. I would never do anything that would make me lose." Although Mary was usually oblivious, she didn't dare to make a scene on the land that belonged to the FX International Group. She decided to remain silent in the face of Jessica's challenge.

The unpleasant confrontation didn't affect the ambiance of the party that was about to begin. But it definitely planted deeper hostility between the two women. Nevertheless, they got into contact frequently since then, leading to a partnership between the two. They would eventually regret this because their partnership would lead to a bigger mistake.

Compared to the two antagonistic women, Brian looked carefree in his seat. He attended the party for the purpose of seeing Daisy. Since he heard that Daisy had gotten married to the CEO of the FX

International Group, he had been looking for a chance to find out why Daisy refused to recognize him. He also wanted to know if Daisy was happy with her current life. As long as Daisy was happy, he didn't care if Daisy still remembered him or not.

Because he lived overseas and he didn't have many acquaintances in the country, few people in the party knew him. He sat alone in a corner, carefree and unnoticed by anyone. His solitude allowed him to overhear conversations he shouldn't have heard.

"Have you heard? Apparently, Mr. Mu has become a faithful man from a womanizing playboy! He has lavished his affections on the mother of their lovechild. There's also word that he will introduce the mysterious woman to the public tonight." Women were always purveyors of gossips, but at the same time, they were also the victims of gossips.

"Oh no, that's impossible! I heard that that woman looks shabby and is of humble origins. Is it suitable for her to appear at such a grand occasion? Apparently, she's not as beautiful as Mr. Mu's ex-girlfriend Jessica." As several noble ladies heatedly discussed among themselves, Brian started to look concerned. His eyebrows furrowed in disapproval and he became furious at the news.

'Edward, how dare you hurt my sister and bring your lover to such an important occasion? This is a big insult to her. Do you really think that she has no one to back her in her family, that you can willfully break her heart? Don't forget that I'm here to support her. No matter what happens, I will never let you hurt her, ' Brian thought in rage.

"Who knows? This is only hearsay. But one thing's for sure, Mr. Mu really loves the woman. Otherwise, how could he change to a completely different person? Besides, it's been a long time since the last time there was news about him with a woman. Maybe this woman will become his wife because they have a son." The gossip continued, while Brian had completely lost his cool. His handsome and bright face was flaming with rage.

That bastard. It seemed that Edward was treating his sister as if she was invisible. How dare he keep such a dirty affair with another woman! He's gone too far. Besides, wasn't Daisy a female soldier? Why would she keep silent at such a vicious man's insult? Wasn't sabotaging a military marriage a criminal offense? Why would Daisy let Edward bring his lover and his lovechild into their home and not do anything about it?

Brian smiled painfully at the thought. It seemed that god didn't bless good people. Otherwise, why would he make his sister endure so much sadness and pain? No wonder she was reluctant to recognize him that day. She probably didn't want him to know about her painful life. That was why she had firmly stated that she didn't know him.

Brian closed his eyes in agony. When he opened them again, there was firm determination in his eyes. He couldn't help Daisy to get out of her distressful life in the past, but from now on, Brian would officially declare war against Edward. He'd better not die soon, Brian would definitely make his life full of surprises.
