The young man leaning against the wall took a mont to recover from the recent scare, and when he heard the continued scolding coming from the phone in his hand, he exploded.
"I was just on the brink of life and death, did you know? You don’t care about at all, only about your future daughter-in-law! I’m begging you, why don’t you get married again yourself? I allow it."
The man pushed back the hair on his forehead, licked his lips with a restrained tongue, and said irritably, "If it weren’t for a Little Fairy who suddenly appeared and pulled , I would’ve..."
Wait, where’s his Little Fairy?
Ignoring the continuous cursing of "unfilial" and "you little brat" from the phone, Shane Sharp pocketed his phone and urgently grabbed the trembling waiter beside him, asking, "Where’s that Little Fairy from just now?"
"She, she’s already gone," the waiter, recognizing it was Young Master Kane of the Levitt Family, answered with a shiver.
"Gone?!" Shane’s voice rose instantly, disbelief and frustration alternated on his handso fair face, "She could’ve blackmailed ! I’m so easy to extort..."
Waiter: ?? Is this Young Master from the Levitt Family an idiot?
Normally, Young Master Kane would’ve already gone mad for being splashed with water, but now he wasn’t in the mood to investigate, his mind filled with the image of that ethereal figure.
Could it be that the heavens answered his plea, and specially sent a Little Fairy to his side?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was true. Young Master Kane imdiately took out his phone and called the head of the club, "Hello? Help pull up the surveillance of the whole fourth floor, I need to find soone!"
anwhile, in the KTV private room.
Because Yasmine Warren accidentally revealed Ann Vaughn’s identity, those who originally wanted to stir up trouble with Ann Vaughn backed off.
No one knows when they might need her favor. It’s okay not to befriend her, but they definitely can’t make an enemy out of her.
"Sorry, filming kept so busy that I ca a bit late." Suddenly, a woman’s voice ca from the private room door, "I thought you’d wait for , didn’t expect you all started playing already."
"Doris Dunn, you busy bee, you’ve finally made it." Yasmine Warren stood up and pointed to an empty seat for her, "That’s your spot."
Doris Dunn removed her sunglasses as she walked into the room, her typical oval face and pronounced features, along with that new Chanel lotus pink long dress, made her seem every bit the big star.
"No choice, I’ve had so many engagents lately, take a lot of effort to squeeze out so ti." Doris Dunn naturally sat in the seat reserved for her, smiling broadly, "Is everyone here?"
"Everyone we could contact is here." Yasmine Warren said with a smile.
Doris Dunn nodded, turned her head unintentionally, and saw Ann Vaughn sitting calmly on a single sofa, drinking juice, frowning, "This isn’t from our class, huh? Yasmine, is this your friend?"
"That’s Ann Vaughn, don’t you rember?" Soone reminded her gleefully.
In the past, when in school, Doris Dunn often tripped Ann Vaughn up for Shane, bullied her — she should rember that, right?
"What did you say?" Doris Dunn’s soft voice almost broke, making others glance at her strangely.
Doris Dunn imdiately withdrew her surprised expression, wearing a forced smile, "Sorry, I was just a bit surprised."
"But I rember Ann Vaughn didn’t look like this before; must have had so work done? Such dedication to beauty is really admirable."
"Ann Vaughn, you rember who I am, right?"
Ann Vaughn, who ate plenty of desserts on the sofa, initially thought it was so squeaky toy squashed when she heard Doris Dunn’s voice break.
It wasn’t until Doris Dunn was running out of patience from waiting for an answer that Ann Vaughn slowly responded, looking at her in puzzlent, "Hmm? Who are you?"
The light question instantly choked Doris Dunn, almost breaking her newly done nails.
Why hadn’t she finished this woman off in school back then?
Seeing Doris Dunn’s expression turn unpleasant and silent, Ann Vaughn looked up at Yasmine Warren, seeking her advice with her eyes.
It’s not that Ann intentionally embarrassed her, it’s just that Doris’ face was so different from back in high school that not recognizing her made sense.
Yasmine imdiately understood Ann Vaughn’s aning, and to prevent Doris Dunn’s bluntness from offending Ann, she rounded out the conversation by asking Doris, "Heard you’re dating recently?"
Only then did Doris Dunn’s expression soften a bit, pride in her voice as she slightly raised her chin, "It’s not exactly dating, just that Young Master Kane from the Levitt Family has been pursuing , and I haven’t agreed yet."
Saying this, she glanced askance at Ann Vaughn, as if provoking her.
However, Ann Vaughn ate her fruit platter leisurely, without showing a hint of surprise at her words.
But others in the room exclaid at Doris’ words.
Young Master Kane of the Levitt Family, isn’t that the infamous Shane?
Even Yasmine Warren showed a tinge of envy in her eyes, "Wow, from school uniform to wedding dress, that’s so romantic."
The Levitt Family is a giant in S Country’s catering industry, ranked among the top twenty global companies, and across known restaurants in the country, eight out of ten are under their na.
They’re considered an extrely prominent family in The Imperial Capital, marrying Shane was once the dream of all the girls present.
Except for Ann Vaughn, of course.
"It’s just that, I’m still hesitating whether to accept his pursuit; I’ve always prioritized my career. Getting married too early isn’t beneficial to my career right now," Doris’ voice carried a bit of arrogance.
But being pursued by Shane surely gives her so grounds for arrogance.
The girls nearby all buzzed with lemony jealousy, admiring Doris’ good fortune.
"Aren’t you afraid Shane might like another girl? Marrying him would an you don’t have to work so hard, being a wealthy housewife is not a bad thing, right?"
"Yeah, I never imagined after all these years, it turns out to be you and Shane, I thought he would be with..."
Saying this, the topic inevitably shifted back to Ann Vaughn.
Who didn’t rember when Shane got Ann Vaughn called up to the rooftop, only to be rejected?
Although it was just a bet, it didn’t stop them from creating a good drama of love and hatred from it.
Ann Vaughn listened to their conversation, but showed no inclination to participate, her red lips maintaining a slight, fitting smile.
She put down her fruit platter, headed to the bar, grabbed a sky-blue drink, sipped a couple of tis, and finding it tasty, took a few more sips.
