Chapter 363
The Heiress Strikes Back
363 The Fireworks Show
Caleb yawned lazily and sobered up. He looked up at the vast starry night sky, and the red liquid in his hand moved slightly.
Caleb drank half a glass in one gulp and glanced at Sharon. His eyes seemed to be filled with ruins, and he looked abnormally tired.
Sharon sat a distance away from Caleb. After all, she couldnât completely trust the man in front of her. In addition, it wasnât convenient for her to escape now, so she could only keep a distance.
She raised her head to look at the moon hanging in the sky. She had once wanted to live a good life with Wallace. When her husband had made up for the wedding he owed her, she even felt very happy. However, it was only now that she understood that their relationship had always been hanging midair. When they encountered a problem, their relationship would suddenly fall and break into pieces.
âDo you know what constellation that is?â The weather was very good today, so the stars in the sky were abnormally obvious.
Sharon glanced at Caleb. âI donât believe in horoscopes.â
As if he didnât hear Sharonâs words, Caleb continued, âThatâs Scorpio over there-itâs rare to see it in the city. Fortunately, weâre in the suburbs, and the weather is good. Scorpio is the representative of snakes; it represents the highest intelligence and efficiency. Whatâs your horoscope?â
Hearing Caleb explain it to her seriously, Sharon couldnât help but frown. I donât care about horoscopes. I just want to go back as soon as possible.
Sitting on the roof of the car, drinking red wine, and looking at the stars. To think that this guy could think of this.
âI donât know what my horoscope is either. Didnât I say that I donât believe in that thing?â Sharon also took a sip of the wine. No wonder some people always want to drink when they are down. When they swallow the wine, they feel all the pain and melancholy go down with it.
âI didnât believe horoscopes at first, but sometimes, you have to believe these things.â Calebâs gaze landed on Sharon. His eyes were misty and illusory as if they carried a heavy secret.
Sharon knew that he was a man with a story, but she wasnât interested in other peopleâs soul-stirring things.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Just as Sharon was thinking of a reason to leave, her phone suddenly rang. She quickly picked it up and realized that it was Whitney.
âHehe...â Whitney-who was on the other end of the call-didnât seem to have sobered up yet. Sharon could even hear Yumi telling her to be careful. âSharon, where are you? Let me tell you-Iâm the dance queen! Hahaha, let me tell you, donât be sad. The people in the casting selection are all big idiots. When I have the ability, Iâll definitely deal with all of them. â
Whitney spoke passionately.
On the other end of the call, Yumi asked, âSharon, where are you? Weâre already out. I donât know how to drive, so I dragged her out first. I thought of calling a car by the road to send her back. I wonder if I can find her place.â
âBoth of you, please be careful. Iâll send you Whitneyâs nearest address later.â
After Sharon hung up, Calebâs glass was already empty. He placed the glass beside him and looked at Sharon with a deep gaze. âWhatâs wrong? Are your friends anxiously asking you to leave too? But the real show hasnât started~â
Hearing his joking words, Sharon became nervous for no reason. âWhat show?â
âItâs so lively here today; itâs not enough to just watch the stars. I wonder if you like to watch fireworks?â Caleb smiled mysteriously, making Sharon instantly feel that something was wrong.
âYou prepared a fireworks show?â Just as Sharon asked, she felt that she was too stupid. How could someone like Caleb have such a romantic mood?
Caleb poured himself another glass of wine and asked with a smile, âDo you think the person who organized this ball is an ordinary businessman?â
âIâve never thought of it that way. The people I recognize here are of certain statuses, and some are popular celebrities. Hence, theyâre either rich or noble. If the person who organized this ball is an ordinary businessman, he definitely wouldnât be able to invite these people,â Sharon replied seriously.
âYouâve met Wally, so you should know how I was imprisoned, right?â
Sharon replied casually, âHe was already half-dead when I saw him. He didnât have time to tell me about you. Besides, if you hadnât kidnapped me, how would Wally know that we knew each other?â
