Chapter 357: There is a Problem with this Glass of Wine
Translator: 549690339
There must be sothing fishy about this wine.
Purple Sumrs can’t drink it.
Bella Foster drank half of the wine in her glass and noticed that Purple Sumrs hadn’t touched hers, which made her sowhat anxious.
Suppressing her urgency, she asked casually, “Why aren’t you drinking?” Purple Sumrs calmly enjoyed her al and, upon hearing the question, smiled and looked towards the soon-to-be bride and groom toasting in the distance, saying, “No hurry, I’ll drink after they’re done toasting.”
At that mont, a few classmates at the table let out low exclamations: “Look, they’re toasting at Young Master Graves’ table!”
Gavin Graves’ social status was so high that even when he tried to keep a low profile, he attracted everyone’s attention. All the people at Purple Sumrs’ table looked over, including Bella Foster, who was also drawn to Gavin Graves. Perhaps because the banquet hall was so warm, Gavin Graves wasn’t wearing his suit jacket but instead, a snow-white shirt with a light gray vest, looking extrely elegant and gentle, like a refined gentleman described in ancient literature.
Such a man would usually make a great first impression, but who would imagine that his other side was decisive, ruthless, and cruel?
Being refined and gentle alone would not secure his position as family head.
The bride and groom, led by the master of ceremonies, toasted Gavin Graves. They were both in their twenties, not much younger than Gavin. However, in this atmosphere, Gavin appeared like an elder.
Everyone in the banquet hall discussed Gavin Graves eagerly.
“I can’t believe Young Master Graves is here.”
“Young Master Graves is so handso and young; I wonder who will marry him in the future.”
“What a blessing it would be to marry the future head of the Graves Family.” “Who’s Young Master Graves’ female companion today?”
Everyone was looking at Gavin Graves. n looked at him with awe and envy, while won looked at him with admiration and desire.
Purple Sumrs thought that at this mont, Gavin Graves seed like a tender and juicy steak, with everyone eagerly wanting a taste.
She suddenly thought of Alexander Sumrs.
—Alexander was younger, handsor, and more powerful than Gavin Graves, clearly better in every way; however, people often mistook him for an old man and seldom talked about him.
Purple Sumrs couldn’t help but smile at this thought, feeling a strange sense of delight in her heart…
The bride and groom spent a particularly long ti chatting at Gavin Graves’ table, and when they moved on, the prying eyes around them slowly returned to their conversations.
New dishes were brought to the table by the attendants.
Zara Jason reached for so food and accidentally bumped Bella Foster’s wine glass with her elbow while withdrawing her arm.
“Ah!” Bella Foster quickly stood up, but her reaction was still not as quick as Purple Sumrs’, and her dress was imdiately drenched in a large stain from the grape wine!
Zara Jason was startled by the accident, “I’m…I’m sorry! Ms. Foster, really sorry, your dress…”
Jane McCain said, “You need to clean it imdiately, or it will beco harder to remove as ti goes on.”
Bella Foster was embarrassed, but she couldn’t scold Zara Jason under so many watchful eyes. Besides, Gavin Graves was sitting at the next table, so she had to maintain her elegant deanor!
Suppressing her anger, Bella Foster headed to the restroom with a gloomy face and rushed on her way.
She made a call to her housekeeper, and within a quarter of an hour, a manager from a nearby luxury boutique delivered a new ladies’ gown.
Although it wasn’t as valuable as the one Bella Foster was wearing, it was decent enough for the occasion.
Upon returning to the banquet hall, Bella Foster noticed a new glass of wine at her seat.
Zara Jason apologized, “Ms. Foster, I’m really sorry for spilling your wine earlier. I poured a new glass for you.”
Bella Foster glanced at Zara Jason, Jane McCain, and others, thinking: I spilled Purple Sumrs’ wine, so they spilled mine; what childish kids!
She also noticed that over half of the wine in Purple Sumrs’ glass was gone, which reassured her, so she decided not to bother with Zara Jason over the matter.
“It’s fine; it’s not like you did it on purpose.” Bella Foster smiled and sat down.
