Chapter 99
Shawn glared at Elizabeth with a gloomy expression. There was even a hint of anger on his face. âDo you want to die? Why are you smoking?â
Elizabeth came back to her senses and glanced at Shawn. The warmth and gentleness in her eyes were gone. At this moment, they were iceâcold, making Shawn feel inexplicably guilty.
Panic rose in Shawn again. He could not help but say angrily, âWhat are you looking at? Did I say something wrong? Smoking is harmful to your health, get it?â
Elizabeth looked at Shawn for a long time before suddenly snickering. The gentle elegance on her beautiful face had disappeared. She suddenly became radiant and flamboyant, but it only made his heart beat faster.
Especially Elizabethâs smile, which made Shawn stare blankly. He had to press hard on his heart to prevent it from jumping out of his chest. He thought, âDamn it. Where had she disappeared to since I last saw her? Has she become a vixen?â
âMr. Longman, my health is none of your business.â Elizabethâs eyes were cold and distant.
âWhy is it not my business? I was the one who saved your life. Iâm also the one who pushed you to where you are today. How is it none of my business?â Shawn was furious. He didnât like Elizabethâs attitude of trying to wash her hands off him. He was extremely displeased.
âMr. Longman, are you still dreaming?â Elizabeth asked.
Shawn felt that he would be angered to death by this damn woman sooner or later. After taking a few deep breaths, he glared at Elizabeth and snorted. âElizabeth, shut up.â
âAlright. Hurry up and find your girlfriend then. Otherwise, sheâll find trouble with me later. How annoying,â Elizabeth said impatiently.
âSheâs not my girlfriend. I donât have a girlfriend,â Shawn blurted out, looking at Elizabeth.
âAlright, exâgirlfriend then. Exâexâgirlfriend, okay?â For the first time, Elizabeth felt that Shawn was annoying.
âI donât have an exâgirlfriend or exâexâgirlfriend either. Youâre the only exâgirlfriend I have.â Shawn was a little angry at the thought of this. He swore. He was dumped in his first relationship.
Elizabeth said, âArenât you annoying? Itâs fine if you donât. I told you to leave now. Didnât you hear me?â
âElizabeth, youâre so ruthless. Seriously, I shouldnât have followed you here. Iâve got better things to do.â Shawn was filled with anger. After shouting, he turned and stalked off.

In Meganâs room on the second floor, she had already put on exquisite makeup. She was wearing an offâshoulder white gown. Her waist was slender, and the design of the fishtail gown made her figure look even more graceful. From time to time, she would look out the door and at the time.
âDylan isnât back yet?â Seeing that the party was about to begin and Dylan was still not back, Megan looked a little anxious.
âMr. Dylan isnât back yet,â the servant waiting at the side replied.
âWhereâs Audrey? Is she here?â Megan pursed her lips and sounded displeased.
âNot yet,â the servant said.
When Megan heard that Audrey was still not here, she was even more unhappy. She thought, âWhat is wrong with that bitch?

Didnât she say that she will attend the party tonight? Why isnât she here yet when the party is about to begin?â

âAlright, we should go down.â As the host of todayâs party, Claire naturally dressed up meticulously. She was already graceful and elegant, and her wellâmaintained face was covered in exquisite makeup.
âMom, why arenât Dylan and Audrey here yet?â Megan stood up and asked unhappily.
Claire looked arrogant. She glanced at Megan and said, âDonât worry, they will come.â If Audrey came, so would her son.
Hearing Claireâs words, Megan did not dare to ask further.
As the matriarch of the Clifford family, Claire naturally attracted everyoneâs attention the moment she appeared, especially since today was a party hosted by the Clifford family. They came over to chat with Claire.
Megan had a sweet smile on her face as she stood beside Claire, looking gentle. Naturally, she attracted the attention of many people. They turned to look at Megan. âWho is this beside you, Mrs. Clifford?â
âThis is Megan Baxter. I adopted her many years ago. She just came back from studying overseas,â Claire introduced Megan
with a smile.
âHello, Mr. Harell. Nice to meet you.â Megan had a pretty smile on her face.
âSo itâs Miss Baxter. Sheâs beautiful. Mrs. Clifford, you are very lucky to have an outstanding son like Mr. Clifford. Miss Baxter is equally outstanding too,â another voice said.
Megan was naturally happy to be praised like this.
âBut why isnât Mr. Clifford here yet?â someone asked curiously.
There had always been rumors in the elite circles that Dylan and Claire did not have a good relationship. The reason was that Dylanâs fiancée was sent to prison seven years ago for accidentally hurting Claire.
At this moment, everyone looked at Claire, waiting for her answer.
Claire still had a graceful smile on her face as she said indifferently, âDylan is busy with work, but heâs already on his way here.â
Knowing that Dylan was coming, everyone stopped gossiping.
Claire brought Megan to chat with some people. Megan followed Claire the entire time.
After a while, many people at the party could make some conclusions. For example, Claire loved her adopted daughter very much.
There was no lack of elite families who wanted to make a marriage match with the Clifford family. Although Megan was just an adopted daughter, she was doted on Claire. If one could marry Megan, it
naturally be beneficial to the family.
They were all from wealthy and prestigious families. There was no such thing as freedom of marriage. It was all for the benefit of the family.
The lively party hall suddenly fell silent. Everyone looked toward the entrance of the hall.
A figure walked in slowly. She wore a black strapless dress. Her skin was glowing and she was stunning. She stood there, looking aloof, but naturally attracted the attention of countless people.
No matter how exquisitely Megan dressed, she could not compare to Audrey.

Megan had seen Audrey many times in the past. At first, she thought Audrey was goodâlooking and that was it. However, after not seeing her for seven years, Megan did not expect that when she saw Audrey again, she had become so dazzling.
Unlike the photos, Audrey exuded a cold and powerful aura. As her cold eyes swept over the crowd, she looked like a high and mighty queen.
In comparison, Megan looked like an ugly duckling in front of Audrey. She bit her lip. She would not allow herself to be defeated by Audrey.
