Never See You Again

© Chapter 109.

Zion admired Marve as she stepped out in the burgundy dress. His mind drifted back to the first auction where he encountered her. She seemed to be born for this color, as only she could effortlessly carry off the vibrant dress with elegance and sophistication.

Lyra couldn't resist commenting, "Zee has excellent taste. That dress suits you perfectly."

Maeve offered a faint smile in response.

Zion continued, "Actually, it doesn't matter if you come to this banquet or not. Do you have any plans already?"

Maeve made a hushing gesture and said, "It's a secret."

The Hackett family's banquet boasted a prestigious guest list, attended solely by Seathburn City's elite.

In Sergio's car, Clara, dressed in white, felt a mix of nerves and excitement as they approached the event. While she had often accompanied Sergio to various social events before, attending the Hackett banquet carried a weighty significance. The Hacketts' status in Seathbum City was on par with Sergio's.

"Sergio, aren't you inviting Maeve to accompany you? Are you sure about that?" Clara lowered her voice and expressed a hint of unease.

The mention of Maeve made Sergio frown, which revealed his impatience. It wasn't that he hadn't invited Maeve; she simply didn't answer his calls today.

"Don't you

to come?" he asked.

"Of course not!" Clara's face flushed. She continued, "I'm just... afraid of others misinterpreting our relationship again."

Sergio remained silent. He actually hoped there would be more rumors about him in their circle. He even anticipated Marve's reaction when she found out about these rumors.

Soon, the two reached the venue. The hall wasn't crowded, so Sergio took Clara to greet acquaintances and raise a toast..Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

After a short while, the door opened again. Two couples walked in, followed by Tiffany and Jenny, holding hands. It was their first time attending such a grand occasion.

Both families were thrilled when they received the invitation. They never expected that a small business like theirs which could only two hundred thousand dollars a month, could attend such a grand occasion.

Yet Clara immediately noticed Tiffany and Jenny as soon as they walked in. Her face turned pale. How could they attend such an important event?

Sergio noticed Clara's expression and couldn't help but frown. He asked, "Clara, are you feeling unwell? Should I ask Levi to send you back?"

"I..." Clara was about to speak when she caught sight of Tiffany and Jenny not far away. She could only cover her face and say, "I'll go to the restroom and be back soon." With that, Clara hurriedly stumbled towards the corridor in the corner.

Tiffany and Jenny found it strange. Why was Clara avoiding them all of a sudden?

"Let's go and check," Tiffany suggested and pulled Jenny towards the corner corridor. As soon as they reached the restroom's door, they saw Clara

Clara's face showed a hint of embarrassment, but she still pretended to be surprised and asked, "Why are you guys here?"

Jenny said, "Well, I wanted to ask why you ran away as soon as you saw us

Tiffany frowned and said, "The man you were standing with just now, is he your boyfriend?"
