Triplets on Secret Mission

Chapter 243

Molly put down the plate. She wanted to walk away. Knowing that her encounter with Abigail would be unpleasantly awkward, she wanted to avoid Abigail and her gang. Unfortunately, Abigail spotted Molly. She picked up her skirt while sauntering toward Molly.” Hi, Ms. May,” she greeted Molly with grace. The ladies exchanged looks. They thought Molly was Abigail’s friend, and since they were here to socialize on behalf of their families, they followed Molly. One of them asked, “Abigail, you know this lady?”

The ladies were checking Molly out. Molly was donned in a long black dress, revealing her fair skin over her beautiful collarbone. Despite her aloofness, they could not take their eyes off her beauty. Assuming that abundant efforts must have been invested to nurture a beauty as outstanding as Molly, the ladies thought she was an heiress from one of the prominent families.

Abigail acted as if nothing had happened. She put on a friendly façade when she introduced Molly to the ladies. “This is Dr. May. She’s a very skillful physician abroad. She has just returned from overseas.”

When those ladies heard Abigail, they realized Molly’s social status was far below their expectations. To them, she was just another normal physician. They mustered a fake smile to greet Molly. It was a rather perfunctory greeting dripping with scorn. However, it did not bother Molly the slightest since she did not give a damn about the matters between those families in the high society. So she did nothing except respond to the greetings out of courtesy

Abigail slightly frowned as Molly ignored her. “Dr. May, did you come with Sean? Why did you even attend this occasion? Do you really need to follow him around like a shadow?”

Molly was slightly startled. ‘No wonder she’s been watching me and came looking for me even though she disliked me. She actually thought I came with Sean. But… Is Sean really here?”

Sean was indeed at the banquet, and unbeknownst to Molly, he had met her suitor, Benjamin Forts.

Their last encounter was at Terahis Grove. At that time, they did not really know each other. All Benjamin knew was Sean was Molly’s patient. Never had he expected Sean to be Sean Anderson from that prominent family.

“You’re here, Mr. Anderson. What a coincidence,” Benjamin greeted Sean courteously with a vague smile.

“Not a coincidence since I got the invitation from Mr. Forts Sr.” Sean did not want to echo what Benjamin had said.

As if they were innately incompatible, Sean and Benjamin were hardly fond of each other since their first encounter. Sean made it even more obvious because of his cold and distant personality. Basically, he rarely warmed up to others. Although there was a faint smile on his face, it was insincere. “I did not expect you, an outstanding young man, to be a Forts, or should I say, the second

A spark of secret tussle had been ignited in the air. Not far from them, an elderly man was conversing with the guests gathered around him. When he saw Benjamin and Sean talking to each other, he approached them with a smile.

“I didn’t expect you two to know each other.” Benjamin’s grandfather, Theodore Fort, had regarded Sean highly, so he was happy to see the grandson he was very proud of befriending Sean.

Sean replied with a polite smile, “We’ve met only once. That time, I didn’t know he was a Forts.

“I didn’t expect you to be the Anderson Corp CEO, the famous CEO in Northfolk who is well known for being steadfast and decisive,” said Benjamin while looking at Sean. Both outstanding young men refused to give in. Benjamin then added, “Oh right. I should’ve thanked you when we met last time. Thank you for taking care of Molly and the kids since they were here. I’ll send you a thank-you gift next time.”
