Henry Preston stood not far away, dressed in a sleek and understated luxury suit, exuding the charm of a mature man as always.
He walked towards Azure Vaughn.
My mom imdiately observed my reaction, and then a relieved expression appeared on her face.
"Thank you for taking the ti to co despite your busy schedule." Azure reached out and took Henry’s arm, with Wendy Hawthorne on the other side, two major pillars on her left and right.
When she spoke to Henry, there was a clear tone of coquettishness in her voice.
Wendy Hawthorne also smiled at Henry, "It’s an honor for all of us at Celeste to have you here, Mr. Preston. Our little company shines with your presence."
"You’re too modest, Mr. Hawthorne," Henry replied flatly.
From their words and expressions, I saw only two words: hypocrisy.
At that mont, I saw Tiana O’Connell. She was wearing a petite suit, embodying the look of a strong woman, chatting and laughing with others.
"Mom, I’m going to find Tiana." I whispered to my mother and went over.
"Alright, go ahead." My mom nodded.
Tiana ca with Simon Sinclair today, and their relationship was getting closer. When she saw , she quickly distanced herself from Simon. I couldn’t help but tease, "Have you two gotten together yet?"
"Almost, kind of in the ambiguous phase," Tiana said with a rare show of shyness on her face.
"Not bad, you’re about to snag this handso guy," I complinted, "your prospects are great."
Tiana’s eyes blood with joy, "The first spring in life!"
But why didn’t Ivan Underwood co today?
I searched the crowd for Ivan but couldn’t find him. His main job is still being a doctor, so he probably wouldn’t co.
However, I saw Ivan’s mother. When she noticed my gaze, she t my eyes, and her face suddenly turned cold.
"Zoe, you ca on the wrong day..." Tiana suddenly said sympathetically, "Look to your right."
I looked to my right and, surprisingly, Henry Preston’s parents were also here?!
Mr. and Mrs. Preston naturally were among the central figures of the event; many people wanted to get close to The Preston Group and looked for ways to approach them.
Before I could retract my gaze, Mr. and Mrs. Preston noticed , and a hint of embarrassnt flashed across their faces before they gave a kind smile.
Mrs. Preston even started walking towards , leaving with a heavy heart.
"Mom, Mrs. Linden is over there, she said it’s been a long ti since she’s seen you." Just when Mrs. Preston was about to reach , Henry appeared, blocking her path.
"Is that so? I’ll go see her then." Mrs. Preston glanced at , understood her son’s intention, and then turned to find Mrs. Linden.
At this mont, Simon ca over. He smiled at , then said to Tiana, "Shall we go et so friends?"
"Sure!" Tiana walked away happily.
I was about to get up and find my mom, but Henry called out to , "Why didn’t Ivan co with you?"
"He’s busy," I replied casually.
"At an event like this, with his mother here too, shouldn’t he set work aside to accompany you first?" Henry walked up to , his nearly six-foot-three fra imposing.
He had a sarcastic smile on his lips.
I slightly raised my head to look into Henry’s eyes, "I understand him, it doesn’t matter. Besides, when I decided to be with him, I was already ntally prepared to face his family, so you don’t need to worry so much about ."
Henry took out his phone and showed a photo of Ivan having a al with another woman.
"He’s on a blind date today, not at work. You didn’t know?" he asked with a smile.
