My billionaire husband spoils me too much

Chapter 823

"Those media companies and television stations are full of beautiful women. The women who work

there are extremely venomous. They must not be underestimated."

Cindy heard that her good friend May would accompany Henry to the celebration party, so she asked

her out early in the morning to go to beauty salons, choose jewelry and dress, and find a professional

designer to do the fashion styling for the coming party.

"You know Henry is highly coveted now. Those women want to get him, so you have to be vigilant

against so many rivals."

"You must dress yourself up tonight!"

Cindy waved her hand and a few employees of the salon rushed forward and dragged May for a

complete beauty service to give her a makeover.

May rarely came to beauty salons. She was taken to a small room and stripped naked, which made her

very awkward. Then some employees there wrapped her in the black mud, making her look as though

she had just crawled out from mud.

"...That's exaggerating. Henry has no interest in other women."

She lay flat on the beauty bed and chatted vaguely with Cindy.

"May, although you've been in France for so many years, you haven't seen the horror of women's

jealousy."

Obviously, Cindy frequented this beauty salon. She was having mud applied to her body while

crunching her apple noisily.

"I used to be a fool. Ever since my father married my stepmother, I'm completely different now. I don't

dare to look down on that angelic bitch who pretends to be weak!"

Thinking of the bad things in the Sandfort family, Cindy was indignant and her face twisted with hatred.

An employee rushed over and pressed her down. "Oh, Miss Sandfort, we've told you many times that

you can't eat, talk, or make exaggerated facial expressions while we are applying the mud onto you?

What if there grow fine wrinkles?"

Cindy was a frequent customer of the salon, but it seemed that she didn't do it to look better but just for

fun.

"Don't worry about me today. Just get my friend ready. We're going to the battlefield tonight."

May felt that Cindy was exaggerating.

But when she arrived at the hotel where the celebration party was held, she saw so many stunning

beauties presenting themselves one after another as if she was watching TV where many stars were

walking on the red carpet, trying to outshine others.

"...I don't think I can match them no matter how I dress up." There was a hint of inferiority in her tone.

She was wearing a champagne dress tonight and looked quite ladylike and elegant. But standing

together with the beauties, she really felt inferior.

"You don't have to compete with them. The main character of today's celebration party is Henry. You

are Henry's girlfriend, so you are naturally in a better position."

Cindy was wearing a black suit and heels of fifteen centimeters, standing as straight as she was

walking on a runway show. Holding May's hand, she walked around the crowd.

"Where's Henry?"

Cindy was very dissatisfied that Henry did not wait for them at the door, causing them to run to

nowhere.

"He's busy with work. There's nothing we can do. We agreed to meet at the venue." May defended him.

Cindy snorted.

Looking around, there were so many people here and it didn't look like an ordinary celebration party.

Many big shots in the business world also attended not to mention those flirtatious female stars.

"No wonder. Look at the man in the bright blue suit over there."

Suddenly, Cindy pointed to a man on the right who was drinking and talking, and whispered to May in

her ear.

"That man is Charles Shepherd. He's a very well-known bankroller in the A City. He's invested money

in Henry, and he has a lot of rumored affairs. It seems that all these women are coming for him today."

May knew nothing about such gossip and stared at Charles seriously. He was so young, but he was

Henry's investor.

Charles was chatting with friends when he suddenly turned around, only to find two women pointing at

him. They didn't look fawning, but they looked as if they were studying him.

"Mr. Shepherd, anygirl you like?" the friend next to him immediately teased him.

"I've heard that Mrs. Shepherd is going marriage hunting for you. Hahaha."

Charles stroked his forehead. The thought of his pushy mother immediately gave him a headache.

"My elder brothers aren't married either. My mother just presses me, knowing I am a pushover... I just

think those two girls look a little familiar."

Charles was telling the truth. Logically speaking, he wouldn't take the two plain women seriously, but he

had the feeling that he had met them somewhere.

He had seen too many women to take them seriously.

He was furious at the mention of women. "Is Christina here?" Charles gritted his teeth.

"Who?"

A few bad companions of his didn't remember who Christina was for a moment. "Which female star do

you want to see, Mr. Shepherd? Look at the group of women over there are winking at us. It seems that

we will have great fun tonight. Hahaha..."

They were laughing happily. "Is Patrick's wife here?" Charles added coldly.

In an instant, everyone was silent.

"I'm sooorry."

"No offense, absolutely no offense!"

Those arrogant men in the business circle suddenly broke out in cold sweat.

"Mr. Shepherd, Mr. Hopkins won't come tonight, right? Just now, we were just...we were just being

foolish. We are too ignorant to know Mr. Hopkins' wife's name."

"Yes, yes. I didn't dare to joke about her."

With such identity and personality, Patrick had been difficult to deal with before he got married. It is said

that in the years after he got married, he got even more enigmatic, and his interest chain went global.

Now even the elders dared not provoke him.

The point was that they found out that Patrick would shield his wife's faults. His wife hadn't made a

pubic appearance yet and he was unwilling to bring her out to meet people.

If Patrick found out that he was joking about his wife, he would be dead. Even if his life was spared, he

would pay a good price for it.

Charles glanced at those cowards. "I sent an invitation to the Hopkins family this time. I don't know

whether they're coming or not. Let me know if you see them."

Like Jack the Lad, he dropped the sentence and turned to socialize with other business partners.

Hearing that Patrick might bring his wife to such a small celebration, they all quickly took their phones

and sent first-hand messages.

"Everyone seems to be very excited tonight?"

Even if Henry was not good at diving people's thoughts from what they said and the expression on their

face, he could feel that the people in the venue were in a jubilant mood as if they were looking forward

to something.

Charles walked over and patted him on the shoulder, raising his glass to him. "The new show went so

smoothly. Thank you."

Henry toasted him politely and smiled back.

Suddenly, Henry waved in one direction. "May, this way."

May and Cindy walked over and were a little embarrassed to see the famous rich playboy of the A City

right in front of them.

"Have I met you before?"

Charles raised his standard smile and asked directly.

May felt guilty. It was rude of them to stare at this man just now.

"I thought you were pretty, so I had one more look at you," Cindy answered naturally.

Charles shook his head. "No, I mean, have I met you two somewhere before?"

He had some impression of their faces, but he couldn't remember more details.

Henry heard that Charles used to be a famous playboy on the headlines of domestic entertainment

pages. It was said that he would change his girlfriend in half a month.

Henry quickly held May in his arms. "This is my girlfriend, May Fain."

"This is my girlfriend's best friend, Cindy Sandfort."

"Hello." Charles smiled warmly and shook hands with them.

May and Cindy instantly felt that he was very kind.

"Mr. Shepherd, can I have a word with you?" At this moment, a sweet voice sounded. It was Henry's

agent, Shirley Johanning.

"Mr. Shepherd, I just heard that the president of the IP&G Group is going to attend the celebration of

our program group. Is that true?"

She couldn't help but raise her voice in excitement.

If the president of the IP&G Group was willing to attend, it would be a great honor for them. They would

have lots of opportunies in the future.

Hearing that, Henry was also shocked. "No wonder everyone has been looking at the door, expecting

someone to come."

The heir and current president of the IP&G Group seemed to be Patrick Hopkins, and even Henry had

heard of him in Europe.

Charles looked at his watch and guessed to himself, "Junior Mrs. Hopkins promised to attend. It seems

that she has been grounded by Patrick." RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

They did not dare to ask a single word about the private affairs of these top families.

"Henry, I'll show you some friends." Charles signaled to Henry with a look in his eyes and turned

around with a warm smile. "Ladies, enjoy the delicious food first. When we men finish our business, we

can dance with you, okay?"

Charles's flirtatious skills, decent speech, appropriate smile, and full of aristocratic gentlemanly

temperament made the women present blush all of a sudden.
