Chapter 74: Chapter 76

Kelsey was dressed in a pink dress. Her skin was originally white, but under the pink background, she looked more and more like she was made up of jade. Rodney, on the other hand, stood tall and straight. The two of them really looked like a perfect match.

Seeing Elliot and Amber walking over hand in hand, Rodney’s eyes narrowed slightly. Elliot was wearing a black suit and did not have a tie. The buttons of the same-colored shirt were undone, revealing the silver chain around his neck. His hands were casually inserted into his pockets.

A slender hand passed through his arm. Rodney’s gaze followed the slender arm and slowly looked over. Amber was dressed in a long purple dress that dragged his long skirt to the ground.

The fine diamonds on the hem of her skirt were shining, and her long black hair was scattered on her shoulders without any decoration.

Her eyes were clear and bright, her eyebrows were curved, and her long eyelashes were trembling slightly. Her white and flawless skin was slightly pink, and her thin lips were as delicate as rose petals. She looked like a fairy descending to the world.

Rodney couldn’t help but lose his mind. Kelsey, who was beside him, exclaimed, “So beautiful!”

Amber saw Rodney and Kelsey looking down. She didn’t want to see them at all, but she didn’t expect Kelsey to take the initiative to greet them. “Miss. Stone, you’re so beautiful!”

Her smile was sincere. She reached out to hit the person who was smiling. Amber smiled faintly. “You are also very beautiful.”

Elliot and Rodney also exchanged a few words. Then they took the elevator to the hall where the party was held.

A group of people had already gathered in the hall, most of whom were familiar faces.

When they saw the two pairs of beautiful people enter, they all looked at them in amazement. Most of their eyes were fixed on Amber. Elliot hugged Amber’s waist tightly and whispered in her ear, “Dear, you’ve surpassed the crowd tonight!”

Which woman didn’t like to hear praises? Amber smiled shyly. “Really?”

“Why not?” The gloominess on Elliot’s face dissipated. “I regret it when I see the lustful looks in their eyes!” He hugged Amber’s waist tightly as he spoke.

“Why don’t I go back and change my clothes?”

“No, I just want to make them envious and jealous!”

Seeing Amber and Elliot whispering to each other and noticing the shy smile on her face, Rodney’s eyes darkened.

Elliot hugged Amber and was about to pass through the crowd. From time to time, he would greet familiar people. It was the first time that Amber had attended such a party. Everywhere he went, he would be surrounded by men and women.

The beautiful music sounded. People were either chatting and enjoying wine or dancing with the music. After Elliot exchanged a few more words with the familiar people, he took Amber’s hand and went to the buffet area.

He sat at the table casually, but he looked at Amber and said, “I know you’re hungry. You can eat whatever you want tonight. I’ll accompany you.”

Amber glared at him. “You’re making me feel like I’m a starving ghost.” She was indeed hungry after saying that, so she took the plate and began to serve food.

She packed the food and sat next to Elliot, beginning to eat. Seeing her eating, Elliot suddenly felt his index finger move. “I want to eat too.”

“No one will stop you!”

“Can’t you buy me a share?”

“No.” Amber lowered his head and continued to eat. Elliot was annoyed and grabbed the plates and tableware from her hands.

“This is mine. You can get another one.”

Amber gnashed his teeth. “Don’t touch me. I’ll get you some!”

Rodney had been watching Amber’s every move from the corner of his eyes. Seeing this scene, he was in a great mood, so he walked over with Kelsey. “Do you mind if we sit here?”

Elliot put on a fake smile and said, “I don’t mind. Mr. Barron, please!”

When he saw Amber return with food, Elliot took the food from her hand. “It’s all my favorite. Thank you, dear! Give me one!”

His disgusting words almost made Amber throw the food on him accidentally. Rodney’s eyes darkened, and Kelsey stood up obediently. “Rodney, I’ll go and get you something to eat.”

Kelsey quickly returned with food. Amber glanced at the food that Kelsey placed in front of Rodney. It was all Rodney’s favorite food. A hint of mockery appeared in the corners of her eyes. Rodney’s lover really knew her taste!

Elliot could clearly sense that Mr. Barron had come with ill intentions. Why was he sitting next to Amber and him when there were so many seats in the hall?

Kelsey sat down and ate two mouthfuls. She looked up at Amber with a smile. “Miss. Stone’s son is so beautiful!”

Amber smiled faintly, but Elliot immediately took it without saying anything. “If you like children so much, hurry up and give birth to a baby for Mr. Barron!”

“That’s right. As the saying goes, it’s best not to be unfilial. With a child, Ms. Farrell won’t have to worry about Mr. Barron being a heartless man anymore!” Amber smiled, his eyes full of sarcasm...

Rodney’s face suddenly darkened. Elliot also looked at Amber in confusion. Why was there something wrong with his tone?

In doubt, Mr. Mason came over with his female companion last time. “Mr. Thomson, Mr. Barron, we are going to perform tonight.

What have you and your sister-in-law prepared?”

“A show?” Amber was stunned and looked at Elliot subconsciously.

Elliot smiled at her and said, “Don’t worry. We’re all familiar with each other. Let’s watch the show first. If it doesn’t work, we can have a drink with each other!”

“Oh, a toast? Haha, are you doing this for the wedding exercises in the future? I said, why don’t you two perform together and eat the apple? I remember there was such a show in the wedding bedroom.” Mr. Mason winked evilly.

“Isn’t it just performing and biting an apple? What’s so difficult about it?” Elliot was completely unconcerned.

Amber blushed. “No! If you want to perform, do it yourself. I won’t go crazy with you!”

“My sister-in-law is blushing!” Mr. Mason laughed. “I say, Childe Mr. Thomson, this sister-in-law is so shy. Are you still in the initial stage?”

“Nonsense. With my means and martial arts, can I only stay at the initial stage?” Elliot immediately retorted. “Let me tell you this.

We’ve done what we can do. We’ve used all 36 moves and 72 moves.”

“Haha, Mr. Thomson is powerful!” Everyone burst into laughter.

Amber knew that they were used to joking, but she was still not used to it. She lowered her head and took a sip of juice.

He felt as if there was a ray of light on his back. He subconsciously glanced in Rodney’s direction and met his gaze. The gaze that he looked at Amber with was filled with ridicule and disdain.

Amber was furious and glared back fiercely. In two days, it would be his engagement with Celia, but he still dared to swagger to the party with his mistress. This person was too disgusting, and what reason did he have to look at him with such sarcastic eyes?

When he saw Amber’s fierce gaze, Rodney was taken aback. He retracted his gaze and continued to eat the food in front of him.

He did not even look in Rodney’s direction.

At the end of the meal, the soothing music also stopped abruptly. A hostess in a red evening dress appeared on the stage in the middle of the hall with a microphone. “Dear guests, please be quiet. Next, we will start tonight’s main event. The guests will perform well. First of all, please welcome Logan and Lady Shasha!”

Logan and Miss Sasha danced for a while, followed by Mr. Mason and his female companion, who sang an English song.

Next came the performance of several people Amber didn’t know, and then it was Rodney and Kelsey’s turn.

The two of them danced the waltz, the woman was graceful and lovely, and the man was handsome and unrestrained. Both of them had good dance skills, which caused a burst of applause in the audience.

Elliot put his arm around Amber’s waist and said in a low voice, “Don’t say that. Kelsey and Rodney are really a good match.

They are much more suitable than your illegitimate sister!”

Amber couldn’t help but burst into anger. He sneered in his heart. “Elliot, I’m going to the bathroom!”

When she walked out of the hall, she looked back and saw Rodney and Kelsey, who had finished dancing, holding each other’s hands. They accepted the praise of the crowd with smiles on their faces.

Amber felt a little sad and strode to the bathroom. Sitting on the toilet, she sighed slightly and felt a little upset.

The sound of high heels came in from outside, followed by the sound of washing hands. A woman’s voice sounded. “Mr. Barron and his female companion’s dance are the most popular ones up to now. It seems that the champion tonight is Mr. Barron and her female companion!”

“Aren’t there still several pairs of couples without a performance? I am very optimistic about Mr. Thomson and her female companion.”

“Mr. Thomson just told the host that his female companion was not feeling well, so there is no need to perform!”

“Really? I saw that Mr. Thomson’s female companion was so beautiful. I thought she was capable, but it turned out that she was just a vase?”

“That’s right. How could Elliot find a beautiful female companion? By the way, you probably don’t know. Elliot’s piano is excellent and he was once flattered.”

“What a pity, such a rich and handsome man!”

Amber didn’t walk out until the voice faded away. Standing next to the sink, she stared blankly at herself in the mirror. She shouldn’t have come tonight. In the eyes of everyone, she had lowered Elliot’s status.

Amber washed his hands and slowly returned to the hall. There were still people performing on the stage. Elliot was standing in the seat and talking to someone with a smile. When Amber walked to his side, he heard someone asking him, “Are you really going to perform and have a toast?”

“Why can’t I?” Elliot didn’t care, but Amber clearly saw the sarcasm in everyone’s eyes.

In particular, she could clearly see the mockery in Rodney’s eyes. For some unknown reason, a surge of anger rose in her heart.

She sneered. “Who said we were going to perform the cross-cupped wine? We performed the piano tonight!”

“The piano?” Not only Elliot, but everyone looked at Amber.

“That’s right. Elliot, I want to play the zither?” Amber smiled sweetly at Elliot.

Elliot was shocked by this surprise and looked at Amber in disbelief.

Amber smiled sweetly at him. He took Elliot’s hand and walked onto the stage. Beside the stage was a white piano.

Amber sat down slowly. His slender and white fingers slid across the piano keys, and the beautiful piano music rang in the hall.

The mocking smile on the corners of Rodney’s lips gradually disappeared. She actually knew how to play the piano?
