Chapter 326
The manâs figure was tall and slender, and his footsteps were confident.
The girl wore a tightâfitting long dress and walked elegantly. Every step was graceful, like a model on a runway.
They wore matching outfits, but their masks were slightly different, making them seem even more compatible.
âMy cousin and his new girlfriendâ Christine introduced.
She had just returned and didnât participate in the welcoming ceremony at the door, so she thought Edwin didnât know.
âI donât know what happened to my cousin but he suddenly fell in love with a female internet celebrity.â
Christine didnât think highly of internet celebrities and even snorted. But to maintain a good image in front of Edwin, she didnât criticize them too harshly.
âRay!â Christine waved at Ray.
Ray and Sharon walked closer.
âThis is my cousin, Christine Ray introduced, looking at the two of them with a meaningful gaze,
When Sharon heard the name âChristine,â she recalled the topic that Karna and Panny had discussed earlier. Sharon politely addressed Christine, âMiss Gildonâ
Ahhough Christine didnât like internet celebrities, she responded politely in front of Ray. She pointed at Edwin and said, âThis is the famous CEO of Genesis Group. Edwin Stanley, my idol
She playfully tilted her head, almost pressing against Edwin, acting very familiar with him.
Sharon didnât want any more connections with Edwin, but she couldnât snub Christine. She lowered her head slightly. âMr. Stanleyâ
Sharon showed courtesy and distance.
It was as if this was their first meeting.
Edwinâs gaze fixed on her face. His dark eyes were intense.
The fingerprints on his fair skin became more noticeable under the light, silently reminding Sharon of what had happened earlier.
She took an uneasy step back
Ray stepped forward, blocking Edwinâs gaze. Ray patted Christineâs head. âGood for you. You got to see your idol on your first day back. Take good care of Edwin tonightâ
âRay.â Christineâs face turned as red as an apple, obviously happy
âLetâs go. Ray grabbed Sharonâs waist and led her to where the Gildon familyâs siblings were standing-
Sharon couldnât wait to get away. She didnât look back,
Edwinâs gaze followed her wherever she went like a sunflower following the sun.
Christine noticed Edwinâs gaze but thought he was interested in Ray dating an internet celebrity. She shyly chuckled. âYouâre such an upright man. You definitely wonât like internet celebrities. Though some are talented, most rely on their looky Few have real talent. Those who watch internet celebritiesâ live streams are playboys like my cousin, office workers, and introverts with ng big ambitions. They like pretty faces and coy attitudes They donât care about education or ability.â
Her words finally got a reaction from Edwin.
He looked down and back.
Delighted, Christine straightened up, trying to show her best side.
Edwin pursed his lips. His gaze swept over her like a blade, cold and harsh, not the gentleness and admiration she had imagined.
Unrapectedly, Christine shivered.
âEven if Miss Galdon tried to sell her looks, there might not be any buyers. You have soâcalled education and ability but achieve nothing. You just waste your parentsâ money,â he said slowly, his words clear and emotionless.

Chapter 320
Christineâs shy, blushing face quickly turned a different shade of red. The sparkle in her eyes dimmed, and her body trembled slightly.
âAm I being mocked? By Edwin, who rarely spoke unless necessary? Did he really hate me that much? Christine thought.
Although Christine wasnât devastatingly beautiful, she was still considered pretty. With her good family background, she had always been pursued
wherever she went.
Being belinled so suddenly, and in public, was unbearable. Her eyes reddened, and tears began to well up.
Edwin, never affectionate or gentle, didnât even bother to look at her as he walked away
Felix, who had followed behind, shook his head and sighed at Christine
Of all people, she had to provoke Mr. Stanleyâs sweetheart. He had shown mercy with just a few harsh words, Felix thought.
Conor finished his speech and walked down with the help of his sons.
His grandchildren surrounded him.
The music started.
âGrandpa, youâre the main character tonight. You have to do the first dance, the Gildon familyâs grandchildren said.
Conorâs sudden desire to hold a masquerade party pleased everyone and allowed them to act much bolder than usual.
Conor laughed and waved his hand. âIâm too old to dance. You young people can handle this.â
His eyes scanned the crowd and landed on Ray and Sharon âDidnât Kay bring his girlfriend! Let them danceâ
Sharon was stunned to be called out
Her face under the mask twitched.
The more she wanted to escape, the more her wishes were denied.
Ray smiled helplessly and turned to Sharon. The birthday boyâs wish is our command. We canât refuse.â
His eyes were gentle.
Sharon sighed.
She understood. She placed her hand in Rayâs, and they walked to the center of the
stage.
Seeing Conorâs announcement, Karma and Pannyâs expressions changed. They exchanged glances with their husbands.
Conor asking Ray to dance with his girlfriend on such a big occasion meant he approved of Foxy Damon.
The crowd murmured, surprised at Sharonâs mask. Low whispers filled the room.
âThatâs Foxy Damonââ
âFoxy Damon is with the Gildon family?â
Did Mr.
Envious gates landed on Sharon,
Hay and came here with an ulterior motive. They were jealous, envious of Sharon to the point of tears.
Expecially from the girls eyeing Hay
At that moment, two people walked in.
Tina wore a lowâcut dress and high heels. She was dressed gorgeously.
With her was Jasmine, also elegantly dressed.
