Just as Enna Clark turned her head, her wrist was grabbed tightly by Jacob Clark who had a gloomy expression on his face. His muscles trembled as he questioned her, âWhy are you here?â
Why couldnât she be here?
Enna coldly pulled away from his grasp and retreated a step, âWhy canât I be here?â
âYou, go back first!â Jacob commanded without a second thought.
Enna thought her ears were playing tricks on her, and looked at him in surprise, âPresident Clark, is the charity banquet tonight hosted by you?â
Everyone knew the charity banquet tonight was government-led, so it couldnât be hosted by Jacob! Even Jacob, as foolish as he was, could tell Enna was mocking him. His face darkened, he furrowed his brows, and he unexpectedly explained, âI have important things to do tonight, and itâs not convenient for you to be here. You go back first.â
The explanation still had a tone of arrogance.
He was going to be discussing important matters with Rhineâs representative tonight. Many celebrities were present, and some knew of the scandal that had happened over a year ago. It took him more than a year to finally suppress the matter of the recording. If Enna were here and someone recognized her, they would surely remember the past incidents.
Enna wasnât stupid. Jacob had already said so much, so she could tell what he was thinking. Her bright eyes became colder, and it felt like a fire was about to be ignited in her chest. She curled the corner of her lips, giving Jacob a cold, indifferent look, âIf President Clark finds it inconvenient, you can leave. I wonât stop you.â

âYouâ¦â
Jacob was about to lose his temper.
Suddenly, there was a cry of surprise in the crowd.
âMy ring, where is my ring? Director Ford, my ring is gone.â A woman in a red evening gown, as gorgeous as a rose, suddenly panicked as she rummaged through her bag while helplessly saying to the man beside her, âItâs not in the bag, what should I do?â
Both celebrities and top-tier stars were present. Connor Ford didnât want her to make a fuss, but Jasmine Clark was wearing a ring borrowed in his name from a brand. That ring was worth at least a hundred thousand, and if it were really lost, he would have to compensate the brand for it. Despite his reluctance, he lowered his voice and asked, âDid you forget it in the bathroom when you took it off to wash your hands?â
âThatâs impossible. I didnât take it off.â As if recalling something, Jasmine let out another shocked cry, attracting even more eyes, only to say, âI remember now! I accidentally bumped into someone in the bathroom, could it be that my ring got lost when I collided with her?â
Although Connor was unhappy with her shouting, he still patiently asked, âWho did you bump into?â
âI donât know her⦠Let me seeâ¦â
Her eyes swept through the crowd and landed accurately on Enna. She either was too happy or something else; she grabbed Connorâs arm, and excitedly pointed to Enna, exclaiming, âItâs her! Itâs her! My ring disappeared after I bumped into her!â
Since she had been so excited, her voice was quite loud.
At first, only a few people nearby heard the commotion and looked over. Now, half the banquet had their eyes on themâ
Not only on Jasmine, but they also looked at Enna in amazement!
