Chapter 255
After Ryan and Megan’s marriage ended, there had not been any objections. Chen Li only lived with him for a long time. The outside world did not know about Chen Li’s existence and thought that the eldest daughter, Sophie, was Mrs. Wood’s daughter.
In the end, Chen Li was just a b*tch, an important event of the Bailey family, and a banquet of the Hales family. Chen Li had never been qualified to show up, and no one would invite her to attend.
Of course, Edward would not give Chen Li a chance to ruin Mikaelson’s 80th birthday. There were many high-ranking officials and noble people coming tonight. Everyone was a distinguished guest. If Chen Li wanted to make trouble, she would go back to the Bailey family home. It was impossible for her to make trouble in the territory of the Hales family.
“Young Mr. Hales, what should we do?” Seeing that Mikaelson had gone to talk with several old friends, talking and laughing, he asked about Edward’s intention and did not know what to do.
Should he stop them or drive them away?
However, if a woman who had been blinded by jealousy made a scene, she would definitely make a scene outside. At that time, the Old Master would be in a bad mood. Tonight was a birthday party for the wedding. If such a disappointing thing happened, it would not be good. There were so many guests, so even if Chen Li was not embarrassed, they would also feel embarrassed.
“I’ll go out and have a look.” Edward handed his glass to Andrew. He put one hand in his suit and went out to meet Chen Li.
Chen Li drove the luxury car in front of the door and looked inside with hatred. She knew that Ryan had recently hooked up with a woman named Lin Xue. She had seen that woman before. In terms of beauty, she could not even compare with one-tenth of hers. She was not beautiful, old, and a widow who killed her husband. She also had a daughter.
Ryan only took a fancy to such an unbearable woman with her red background.
Men were like this. With a young and beautiful woman, they wanted to find a woman who could help them in their career. When she was young and beautiful, she was with Ryan. Now she was old, but she was more beautiful than that widow!
“It’s all Sophie’s fault. I don’t know why Ryan would suspect that she is not his biological daughter. Someone must have plotted against her behind my back!”
Chen Li knew that Ryan was inside, and the woman named Lin Xue was also there. She was not afraid of making a big deal out of it. This face was used to seduce men. She didn’t feel ashamed and wished to let everyone know about her and Ryan’s past. Maybe Ryan would marry her under pressure.
Chen Li cleaned herself up a little in the car, making her look more beautiful. As soon as she was about to get out of the car, she saw Edward striding over. She opened the door of the other side of the passenger seat, got in her car, and sat leisurely.
Chen Li was stunned and asked him, “What do you mean?”
Edward said calmly, “I know what you want to do inside. Uncle Bo and Lin Xue are here, so you must want to embarrass them. But tonight is my grandfather’s birthday party. You can wait for them to leave and go to the hotel to get a room before you catch them. But now, you can’t go in. Our Hales family didn’t invite you.”
Chen Li was so angry that she laughed. “Do I have to go in?” She said jealously, “All of you men are heartless men. Ryan is right, and so are you! My daughter has been good to you for so many years. You broke up with her as you said. She has given you her youth, but you gave her such a shame that she can only go abroad sadly now. You still have to help Ryan now. You are bullying us because we don’t have a backer!”
Edward didn’t feel guilty at all. He never cared about people he didn’t care about. He was never a good person and had no extra tenderness to give to women other than Nelissa.
It was someone else’s business. He was very annoyed about that.
He lit a cigarette and did not take a drag. He just wanted to cover the smell of women’s perfume in the car, which was very pungent. He said to Chen Li as a matter of fact, “You can’t say that. Men and women are unmarried. Sophie and I are just normal dating. It’s not appropriate for us to break up. It’s not illegal and it doesn’t belong to anyone.”
“I have no obligation to be responsible for a woman who has nothing to do with me. You are under moral kidnapping.” After a pause, he added, “But if I were you, I wouldn’t go in and make trouble tonight.”
Chen Li turned her head to look at Edward. The man had a handsome face and deep eyes. There was a snow-white cigarette between his slender fingers. His movements were elegant and beautiful.
The increasingly blurred smoke made him look mysterious and profound.
Chen Li narrowed her eyes and asked, “Why?”C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
“Too stupid.” Edward turned his eyes slightly, glanced at Chen Li, and said in a cold voice, “The relationship between you and Uncle Bo is not so serious, why are you so anxious to force yourself into a dead end step by step? What’s more, Sophie is Uncle Bo’s daughter after all. After Anna doesn’t see her, she will be Uncle Bo’s only daughter, and she will have what she should have. She is her mother, so she will naturally benefit a lot. Anyway, since you can’t be the legal wife, you can get as much as you can now. You are not in a hurry to offend her.”
“If you behave yourself now, the break-up fee you will get in the future will be more worthwhile.”
Chen Li sneered in her heart. She was afraid that Sophie couldn’t get what she deserved.
However, Edward was very capable. He was very good at judging people. What he said just now might be to analyze Ryan’s thoughts. Now she just went in to fight for a profit. If she couldn’t become a legal wife, at least she had to ensure her wealth and glory in the future. If she blocked her way, she would be like a rock being thrown at her own feet!
They couldn’t get any benefits from each other.
But she said, “People live just to make a living. How much money do you want me to swallow the insult and humiliation? Ryan has played with so many women outside, and now he is so upset about me. I’m afraid that all the sweet words he said to me are all for Lin Xue. I didn’t come here just to make trouble. I just want Lin Xue to know the true face of that man. He is too cunning. We are both women, and I don’t want to see him follow me.”
Edward smiled brightly. The cigarette between his fingers was already lit with long ash. He pressed the window and threw out the cigarette that was about to burn out. Chen Li saw the orange flame on the cigarette and threw it far away before it fell to the ground. She thought of the man’s strong and powerful arm.
Edward opened the door, got out of the car, and said, “Then you can go and make trouble. But remember, after you entered, you offended more than Uncle Bo, me, the Hales family, and even Lin Xue’s parents’ home.”
The moment the door was closed, Edward’s eyes were deep and cold. “If you can’t get in, weigh the pros and cons yourself.”
“Pa!” After the car door was closed, Edward turned around and went back. His tall back in a black suit blended into the night and drifted further and further away, giving people a very confident momentum.
Chen Li gritted her teeth. In the end, she restarted the luxury car and left.
