Chapter 2835: Chapter 2836

“No way…” said Valda Theller.

“Why not? Many people want to suck up to Brian, so they’ll also want to suck up to you,” Patrick said and patted Brian on the shoulder before saying to Valda Theller, “Speaking of which, my buddy is serious about you. He’s attending a gala he refused to attend for you.

What about you? How are you going to repay him?”

Valda Theller did not know what to say when she met the playful look in Patrick’s eyes.

Brian defused her embarrassment by saying to Patrick, “Alright, why are you talking so much? What about you? What are you doing here?”

“I’m here to see if there are any suitable women! I’m still single, after all.” Patrick smiled. “Alright, I’ll leave you two alone.”

With that said, Patrick walked to a group of acquaintances on the other side. Valda Theller turned to look at Brian. “Sorry, I didn’t know you weren’t planning to attend this gala.”

“I didn’t want to attend because I thought it’d be boring to attend such galas alone. It’s not boring when I have you with me. There’ll be an auction later, and the money will be donated to charity. If there’s anything you like, just bid for it. I’ll pay,” said Brian.

“No… No thanks, it’ll be a waste of money,” Valda Theller said quickly.

“Consider it as doing charity for Hart Group. Even if you don’t bid for anything, I’ll end up bidding onuseless things for charity,” said Brian.

“I… I see…” Valda Theller said lamely.

“So wouldn’t it be better to bid for something you like?” he asked.

On the other side, Patrick walked over to Phoebe Cross after chatting with a few other people. “Your eyes are almost popping out of your head from staring at Brian and Valda. Is it so hard to accept?”

Phoebe Cross looked displeased as she said, “Valda? You’re calling that woman intimately. What’s the matter? Do you think of her as a friend?”

“She’s the woman Brian has fallen in love with, after all,” said Patrick.

“Fallen in love?” Phoebe Cross snorted dismissively. “Brian would never fall in love with such a common woman. He’s only temporarily interested in her.”

“Common?” Patrick chuckled. “Don’t you know beauty is in the eye of the beholder? It’s just like Grace, who’s probably common to you too. But Jason loves her deeply. What do you have to say about that?”

Phoebe Cross froze as she clenched her teeth in hatred. Today, she would show Valda Theller how big the gap between an ordinary person and a privileged person was!

Valda Theller accompanied Brian to socialize. Although no reporter dared to interview them, it did not mean that no one came to chat with them.

Waves of people came over to greet Brian, including some celebrities Valda Theller often saw on TV.

Valda Theller was also surprised to see so many celebrities up close that she found it refreshing.

Suddenly, her eyes caught a glimpse of a figure not far away. She froze slightly.

It was… Kyla!

The man she had seen on the news next to Kyla was Kyla’s husband, Martin Weiss.

The two stood very close to each other. They looked loving, and reporters were interviewing them.

“What are you looking at?” Brian’s voice rang in her ear.

Valda Theller said, “I saw Kyla and her husband. I didn’t expunct them to attend this charity gate today”
