His Coy Lover

“Mom, I know, I won’t let what happened with Burton’s mother bother me.”

Burton said he would accompany his mother to the Granger family’s banquet tonight.

I wonder if his arm still hurts?

“You have always been smart, capable, and sensible. Mom is relieved. Alright, it’s getting late. You and Zelda should leave now, so you won’t be blamed by Yemmy for being late.”

Elle smiled, “Mom, Yemmy and I are good friends, she won’t blame us.”

However, she still brought her delicate purse and put her phone inside.

Chris smiled but didn’t respond.

However, she had thoughts in her heart.

Elle had taken Zelda’s place, received the best education since childhood, and lived a luxurious life, better than Zelda in every aspect.

Now, Zelda could only be friends with someone like Cindy, while Elle became good friends with Yemmy, one of the most valuable individuals in River Town.

Chris felt a sense of imbalance. If Elle and Zelda were still as close as they were in the past year, Chris would only feel gratified. But now, knowing that Elle was actually digging pits for Zelda everywhere, Chris couldn’t bear it.

She agreed to Zelda’s suggestion to give the Cartier necklace to Elle to wear to the banquet for a reason.

Zelda didn’t know, it was out of courtesy.

But Chris understood.

When she chose that necklace, Yemmy happened to like it too. Because she bought it first, although Yemmy didn’t say anything, her expression revealed her dissatisfaction.

Yemmy had been spoiled by her family too much. Whatever she wanted, she would get it. No matter how valuable the necklace was, if it was something Yemmy liked, she would want it. If she couldn’t get it, she would be obsessed with it.

What would she think when she saw Elle wearing the necklace that she had coveted but couldn’t buy?

When Elle saw Zelda dressed up beautifully, there was surprise in her eyes. She didn’t expect this country girl to look so stunning in Beauty’s evening gown.

“Is there something wrong with me that makes you look at me like that?” Zelda asked Elle playfully.

“No, it’s just that you’re too beautiful. Even I, as a woman, am dazzled by you, Zelda. You should dress up like this more often. You’re good in every way, but you always dress so casually. Mom and I have given you many brand-name clothes, but you don’t wear them.”

Elle smiled and took Zelda’s hand. “Isn’t it nice like this now? Tonight, no one will dare to call you a country bumpkin. I will definitely shut their mouths!”

When others called her a country bumpkin, Elle would pretend not to know, keeping her distance and letting others insult her with words.

In her previous life, she always trusted Elle and ended up with a tragic end.

In this life, Elle would never again use others to hurt her.

“Let’s go.”

After praising Zelda, Elle wanted to hold Zelda’s hand and go downstairs, but Zelda pulled her hand back. She didn’t insist, but walked downstairs gracefully and proudly.

Since both sisters were wearing evening gowns and high heels, they didn’t drive themselves. Instead, they were sent to the Granger family’s banquet by Roscente’s driver.

Yemmy’s birthday party was held at the Granger family mansion, which, like the Winston mansion, was very large and could accommodate large gatherings without feeling crowded.

Winston had an entertainment company, and to celebrate Yemmy’s birthday, the Granger family also arranged for many popular celebrities to come and sing on stage to entertain the guests.

It could be said that tonight’s Granger family gathering was a gathering of business tycoons and beauties.

As the protagonist of tonight, Yemmy had not yet appeared, still in her room choosing her evening gown.

She went to Beauty to retrieve the several sets of dresses she had chosen, each one beautiful. She tried on each one and felt that she could be stunningly beautiful in all of them, so she had difficulty choosing which one to wear.

Frank Granger knocked on the door and entered.

He was the fourth young master of the Granger family, Yemmy’s own brother, and the vice president of the Winston Group.Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Yemmy, you haven’t changed into your evening gown yet. The number of guests is increasing. You can’t hide in your room all the time, can you?” Frank looked a bit helpless seeing that his sister hadn’t changed into her evening gown yet. “Is it that the dresses don’t satisfy you? Should I ask Beauty to send over a few more sets?”

“Silly brother, you came at just the right time. Help me choose which one to wear so that I can shine and dazzle the whole room.” Yemmy dragged her brother closer and asked him to help her choose.
