Chapter 22 Ms. Bradley Is Really Likable
Today, at the birthday party of Frances, Filip suddenly disappeared. Dillon was looking for him and suddenly he saw Filip with a look on his face like someone owed him tens of millions.
Dillon raised his eyebrows and walked up to him, “Who’s messing with you? Today is such a good day, how dare he?”
Dillon was talking sarcastic words, obviously laughing at Filip.
Hearing his words, Filip stared at him with deep, dark eyes, Dillon only felt a chill in his neck, smirked, and quickly changed the subject, “Is Starry not here?”
He was delayed for a while because he had some work in the company. So, he naturally didn’t know that Starry had already arrived.
Dillon didn’t expect that Filip’s face turned even colder as soon as he finished saying those words.
He snorted, “Did Starry piss you off? I mean, you guys are divorced and Starry has been very low-key and quiet during this time. She doesn’t seem like a troublemaker. How did she make you angry?”
Dillon is also a person who never learned. He was scared off by Filip just now, and now he is trying to provoke him again.
But he was lucky, and just after he finished speaking, Lucia came over, “Filip.”
Lucia smiled and greeted Filip first, then looked at Dillon, “Dillon.”
Dillon laughed. “You’re so pretty tonight.”
Lucia also smiled, “Thank you.”
She responded, and her eyes fell back to the very man she cared, “Filip, the old lady is in the lounge on the third floor, right? I’ll go up to say hello and give her my best wishes.”
Hearing Lucia’s words, Filip restrained his emotions and glanced at Lucia, “Grandma has instructed that she won’t see any guest for now, so let’s wait for the dinner to start. When Grandma is down, you can go and say hello.”
“Ah, it seems that the old lady really likes Ms. Bradley.”
Dillon heard something else in her words, “Starry is here too?”
“Yeah, Ms. Bradley is quite pretty tonight, Dillon, careful not to be dazzled when you see Ms. Bradley later. No wonder that the old lady likes Ms. Bradley so much. She is really likable.”
Lucia said as if unintentionally while swirling her wine, “I heard that the heir of Shining Stars Entertainment also quite admires Ms. Bradley.”
Filip’s expression, which had just eased a little, turned bad again. He glanced at Lucia and Dillon, “You guys have fun.”
With that said, he raised his legs and left.
Lucia didn’t catch up, and continued the conversation with Dillon, “Dillon, do you think Ms. Bradley will accept Mr. Matthews’ pursuit?”
Dillon was stunned for a moment, then reacted, he shook his head, “No way, Starry likes Filip so much, even if they have got a divorce, she wouldn’t start a new relationship so soon.”
Before he could finish speaking, Dillon saw Starry clinking glasses with Wyatt not far away.
Starry is really beautiful tonight, and her dress went perfectly with her character and figure.
Not far away, Wyatt and Starry chatted very happily. People who didn’t know them would think that the two were a couple when they looked at them.
Dillon suddenly understood why Filip was angry. He glanced at Lucia and sneered, “You know it quite well.”
Lucia tickled her hair, “I just heard that accidentally.”
How innocent.
Dillon smiled, “Men’s desire for beautiful women was completely normal.”
Lucia was just a causal acquaintance to Dillon and Dillon knew that she liked Filip and she was very hard to deal with. He didn’t want to be used as a gunman by Lucia.
With those words, Dillon walked away.
Starry was ventilating in the garden, but it was too cold, besides she was wearing little clothes, she couldn’t stand it after just standing for a while, so she turned back to the banquet hall.
When she came in again, she ran into Wyatt. Wyatt was talking to her about casting. Starry was not someone who would push her luck. She wouldn’t interfere too much with casting.
“I’m just a writer. I can give opinions on plots and dialogues, but when it comes to casting, I think the director and Mr. Matthews are more professional than me.”
Starry spoke slowly, although her words were modest, you could tell that she was serious.
Wyatt hooked his lips, “You’re so humble.”
Starry took a sip of the juice and smiled without saying a word.
Aware of Filip’s gaze, Starry’s eyebrows moved, and she tilted her head to meet his eyes.
A few meters away, Filip was looking at her, the expression on his face was very cold, and his eyes glinted with inexplicable displeasure.
Starry looked away. She didn’t know why Filip was upset. Did he not want her to come?
But she didn’t care what Filip thought, she came here today just to make Frances happy.
Wyatt was called away by an acquaintance and Starry regained her ease.
She found a corner to stay in, and soon, the birthday party began.
The Frances is noble and she is also wearing a court dress. Although she was old, it could still be inferred that she must have been a stunning beauty when she was young.Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.
Frances has been a bit limp all these years and Martha helped her downstairs.
When the protagonist appeared, the guests under the stage consciously stopped talking and the banquet hall was much quieter.
After the Frances made a brief speech about thanking the guests and all sorts, the staff pushed out a cake that was over one meter high. She cut it and then handed the knife to Filip to let him go on.
Starry walked over to the side of the stage, where the Lucia man was already on stage, expressing her wishes to the Frances.
Starry watched from below the stage and was in no hurry to get up.
Suddenly someone bumped her from behind and she staggered a few steps. She looked back but didn’t hear an apology.
Starry lit her eyebrows but didn’t care, just waited patiently.
After Lucia finished, she helped cut the cake on the stage, as if she was already the next Mrs. Pearson of the family.
The people on the side were discussing whether Frances agreed on Lucia and Filip’s relationship, and occasionally someone mentioned Starry.
Starry listened, without the slightest care in her heart.
Izabella finally found Starry and saw her standing alone in the audience, silent. She looks like an otherworldly fairy from a distance.
“Little Starry, why are you standing here? The old lady is looking for you!”
Izabella said, pulling Starry onto the stage.
Frances handed her a red envelope, “I like the gift very much, thank you.”
Frances said it lightly, but others could hear her satisfaction.
Starry smiled and accepted the red envelope, “I really wish you good health and all the best.”
“Good.”
Izabella looked at them and said to Frances, “Old lady, I also wish you a happy birthday and good health!”
“You are so sweet, girl. Here, for you!”
The Baxter family had a good relationship with the Pearson family, and Izabella was able to be a bit more casual in front of Frances.
Lucia, who was not far away, had seen all this. She looked at Starry with a cold face and called out, “Ms. Bradley, come and have a piece of cake.”
Everyone around heard her and Starry walked over with the red envelope and took the cake, “Thank you.”
“You are welcome.”
Starry was holding the cake and hard to go back to Frances’s side, so she had no choice but to walk down.
She was planning to leave after eating the cake.
As soon as she walked off the stage, Starry heard a “hiss”, and Lucia from behind suddenly exclaimed, “God, Ms. Bradley, your dress is torn…”
