Chapter 578 A Dirty impression
Meanwhile, Brittany kept hugging her rich boyfriend's arm and flaunted how loving they were. “Avery, let me introduce you to my fiancé. His name is Sebastian Xenos, and his family owns Xenos Group. Sebastian, this is Avery Rumpley, my classmate from tenth grade.”
Brittany raised her voice on purpose so that everyone would know who Sebastian was.
Just as expected, everyone was filled with envy upon hearing her words.
He was after all the scion of Xenos Group.
Even though the Xenos family wasn't one of the four most prominent families in Ackleton, Xenos Group was still among the top ten biggest conglomerates in the city.
Sebastian was tall and had decent features. Despite his distinguished air, the salacious look in his eyes was unmistakable. Whenever he spotted a decent looking woman, his eyes would light up, eliciting the disdain of those around him.
Avery never liked socializing with someone of his character but compelled herself to smile out of courtesy. “It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Xenos.”
“The pleasure is mine, Ms. Rumpley.” Awed by Avery's smile, Sebastian suddenly couldn't peel his eyes away.
The fact that Avery was a pregnant woman completely slipped his mind.
Prior to the gathering, Brittany had mentioned to Sebastian that Avery had stolen the title of campus belle through unscrupulous means. She even claimed that Avery was an escort. Not only did the latter look ordinary but was also full of schemes.
As a result, Sebastian didn't think much of Avery until he met her face to face.
It was then that he realized how wrong he was.
With a pair of sultry eyes and a demure look in them, Avery wasn't just gorgeous but also exuded a charm no other woman had. When compared to her, Brittany couldn't be any more ordinary.
A single glance at Avery was enough to fill Sebastian with the urge to bed her.
The sight of her own boyfriend ogling at Avery caused Brittany's expression to drastically change.
When an idea popped into her mind, she pretended to make an innocent comment. “Avery, when I met my friends at a club half a year ago, I saw a bargirl who resembled you. She was selling sex toys to a man but was pulled into the man's embrace instead. I don't suppose that the girl was you?”
No sooner had Brittany spoken than a pin-drop silence descended upon the room.
Junction Club was famous in Ackleton and was frequented by the rich in the city.
Nonetheless, it was common knowledge that the girls who worked there were mostly those with loose morals or had no future in life.
Therefore, Brittany's comment about Avery selling sex toys naturally gave everyone a dirty impression of the latter.
The job might have been a salesgirl in name, but everyone knew how sleazy the working environment was.
Moreover, no man was going to pass over Avery's stunning looks and irresistible charm.
The remark Brittany made about her being pulled into a man's arms was an insinuation that she had already been sullied.
At that moment, gazes of disdain, lust, and complicated thoughts fell upon Avery.
Infuriated by Brittany's actions, Nina felt the urge to strike the former.
No wonder she invited Avery to this lousy reunion. Her real intention is to humiliate her in public! A vicious woman like this deserves to be beaten up!
Meanwhile, inside a VIP private room at the Night is Young, the lighting was dim, and the air was filled with a mixture of perfume and cigarette smoke. The room would tremor to the rhythm of the bass- thumping music.
Tens of men and women were sitting intimately in each other's arms. Some were flirting, while others were laughing over drinks. There were also those who were high on drugs, and the scene wouldn't be complete without someone singing with a terrible voice.
As for Cayden, he was sitting alone on the couch, smoking in silence.
His elegant poise and frosty demeanor made him look out of place amidst the boisterous atmosphere.
Nevertheless, it didn't, in any way, deter the interest the other women had in him.
“Mr. Moore...” a sexy beauty called out in a coy voice. Her hips swayed as she got close to him.
Wrapping her tender hands around his neck, she attempted to sit on his muscular lap.
However, Cayden grabbed her by the face and turned it toward himself.
Glaring at her, he broke into an icy smile. “Get lost!”
With that, he threw the disgusting woman aside.
After being manhandled indiscriminately, the woman burst out in tears from the humiliation.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
Thereafter, she climbed back to her feet begrudgingly and hid in a corner, not daring to show her face in front of Cayden again.
When the other women saw how coldly Cayden treated the girl, none of them dared to approach him despite their interest in him.
Glancing at his watch, Cayden realized that it was getting late. All this while, he had resented attending drinking events such as this.
Among those in attendance were familiar faces, half-familiar faces, and those that he had just gotten to know.
With smoke swirling around the entire room, it made for a particularly surreal scene.
Back when he was still a bachelor, he enjoyed such hedonistic events.
A single bottle of wine was enough for him to forget all the pressures at work.
Yet ever since he got to know Avery, the only thing he wanted to do after work was to spend time with her.
At that moment, a middle-aged man in a suit walked up to Cayden's side and asked warily, “Mr. Moore, what's your type? Why don't I introduce someone to you?”
Xavier, who was in the midst of drinking, simply smiled without making any comment. Despite being aware that someone like Avery was Cayden's type, he wasn't going to share that information unnecessarily.
With a woman in his arms, Jacob gave his cigarette a nonchalant puff before letting out a snort. “Harvey, stop wasting time. Now that he has found the one, there's no way any other woman will catch
his eye. You should just ignore him. Even the most beautiful girl in the club is incapable of tempting him.”
Just as Jacob finished, Cayden swiftly grabbed a wine glass and threw it in the former's direction.
Avoiding it with his lightning-fast reaction, Jacob intercepted the wine glass and put it back onto the table.
Subsequently, he poured a glass of vodka and raised it at Cayden. “Cayden, please don't resort to violence unnecessarily. You might end up killing someone, all right?”
The woman in Jacob's arms patted him on the chest in empathy. “Don't worry, Mr. Yankovich. I'll always be by your side.”
Her coy voice caused Xavier to give her another look.
He subsequently felt that she resembled Stephanie. That said, the woman's vampy eyes and naked ambition were a huge contrast to Stephanie's shy and kind demeanor.
At the same time, Cayden cocked a brow over Jacob's behavior given that Stephanie had just suffered a miscarriage. He truly didn't know what to think of his friend.
In spite of that, it was his policy not to get involved in others' personal affairs.
The only person he was concerned about was none other than Avery
