chapter 9

After two years....Those who attended Atlanta’s business banquet were dignitaries and the elites of society. Almost all of the upper class were present.The banquet was not open to the public. Bodyguards were also stationed a few blocks away from the venue to stop paparazzi from secretly snapping pictures.A luxury Mercedes Benz sports car slowly stopped at the entrance of The Waldorf. Jorge Trumph looked incomparably noble and was undoubtedly the focal point as he made his grand entrance with his female companion, Ayesha Quade.When Ayesha learned of Jorge's divorce, she was excited and knew that her opportunity had come.However, after all this time, Jorge did not visit her once even when she was really sick.Ayesha was only able to attend this banquet as Jorge's female companion because her uncle had sent her an invitation.Her pitiable face and expensive custom-made dress would move any man.“Welcome, Mr. Jorge Trumph …” The organizer went over to shake hands with Eric but suddenly heard a commotion at the door.Someone said, “Michel Reed from West City is here…” A luxury custom Rolls-Royce came up to the entrance. Michel Reed was truly worthy of being a legendary big name on Wall Street. His aura was extraordinary and had a natural high-born bearing. Michel Reed and Jorge Trumph were both legends that were comparable in strength.As soon as Michel appeared, people around him were already waiting to shake his hands and exchange pleasantries with him.However, Michel did not leave immediately after getting out of the car. Instead, he walked to the other side of the car, took over the position of the porter, and opened the car door. He then extended his hand modestly, which attracted the attention of the crowd.Who did Michel Reed, who had never been close to women, bring with him tonight?“Angela!” Someone shouted out her name.The woman was wearing a custom handmade gown from a European royal family. The dress was studded with diamonds and was sparkling with grandeur. It outlined her slender figure flawlessly.Her makeup was extremely meticulous and highlighted her features perfectly. It made her look even more beautiful.Jorge narrowed his dark eyes as he watched the woman take Michel Reed's arm and walked inside the hotel with a bright smile.Angela was getting closer to him with each step she took.The glorious banquet hall was at the top of their field.  Angela was mentally prepared to see Jorge again. Her heart didn't fluctuate when she saw him because she had already let him go. Although everyone knew that Jorge had an ex-wife Jorge had never brought her to any formal occasion. even when the last statement went viral online, everyone had only heard of her name. when Angela saw Ayesha beside Jorge she smiled and thought she took my place so soon. Michel sensed her emotions and thoughtfully patted her arms " don't be afraid I am with you "I don't have any worries anymore what should I be afraid of? I am invincible  Michel walked up to Jorge the two men were equal in popularity and were similar in all aspects." Mr Trumph I have heard a lot about you Mr Grant Reed so have I"The two men shook hands and parted immediately after. Jorge's eyes were fixed on the woman next to Michel. Angela stood beside Michel and smiled radiantly. Her eyes were glistening and clear and her dress made her fair skin look flawless. She looked like a completely different person from before, and Jorge couldn't take his eyes off, of her.   The radiant Angela infront of him was unfamiliar and dangerous with a fatal attraction. Jorge could only stare at her unmovingly while a complex emotion stirred in his heart. What is her relationship with Michel? At that moment the emotions in Jorge's heart was so complicated that he didn't know how to describe them. Anger started to brew in his eyes. Ayesha also noticed the flash of shock in Jorge's eyes the moment he saw Angela. She secretly greeted her teeth and said in a shrill voice " Angela why are you here? do you think this is a place you can come as you please?She was reminding Angela not to forget her lowly status. Jorge brow furrowed but before he could stop her, he heard Michel's cold rhetorical question" And which family are you form Ms" his tone was allof and interrogative. Ayesha froze and forgot that she had a companion and she hastily tried to remedy the situation " Sir you may not know this, but Angela just divorced Jorge....."She thought that Angela had found herself another suger daddy and felt the need to expose Angela's divorced status to him.Michel's indifferent attitude was oppressive. " is there any rule that divorced person can't attend? Isn't Mr.Trumph also here?"Ayesha awkwardly tugged her hair behind her ear and looked at Jorge to plead for help.However Jorge just stood there silently without the intention of relieving her from this awkward situation.     Angela lowered her head slightly and scoffed. " Ms. Quade, do I need to report you whoever I am with? don't you think you’re oversteppin your bounds?"Ayesha was stirring up trouble, so there was no reason for Angela to back down in this tit for tat.  There were so many people at the party but Angela didn't even glance at Jorge.   Michel swept a cold glance at Ayesha and said unceremoniously "it seems that the quality of this banquet has dropped because of Ms.Quade’s attendance. Mr Trumph, you need to improve your standards in selecting female companions."    After he said that, Michel didn't intend to continue wasting time with insignificant people and led Angela to the other side of  the hall .
