Chapter 703: Chapter 703: Abigail Questions Second Young Master
"""
The Evergrowing banquet was extremely grand, with all the guests invited being the elites of Swallow City.
As Benjamin Jones’s companion, Abigail Green wore a classic long dress today, shining in blue-black hues that showcased the retro elegance of black gauze, with tight handmade pleats that just covered her chest. The blue velvet skirt under the gauze extended Abigail’s already perfect figure, making it even more graceful. Her exposed arms were delicate and smooth; after her skin had healed under Durin’s care, they glowed white. Paired with her slimmed-down oval face, she looked both gorgeous and refined, like a beauty straight out of a medieval painting, capturing the attention of all attendees immediately.
The last person to make such an entrance with only their looks was Brandon Piers.
As soon as Abigail entered, she felt the gazes around her, holding Benjamin Jones’s arm and smiling faintly, then she sensed an even more intense gaze compared to the others.
Brandon knew Abigail would come and had made a special effort to style himself, picking a blue velvet suit to match Abigail’s dress. His already captivating face was slightly enhanced, making him even more striking. But at this moment, standing not far from Abigail, his brows furrowed as he stared intently at the hand Abigail was holding with Benjamin Jones.
Although Brandon had mentally prepared himself before coming, seeing Abigail with another man was something he still couldn’t accept.
No, he couldn’t tolerate it.
The glass in his hand tightened unconsciously, his stomach churning with jealousy. He regretted it!
Abigail just appearing in public with Benjamin Jones while holding his arm was already too much for him to bear. What if she truly ended up with Benjamin?
He would go mad!
"Master Brandon, are you okay?" Bertha Swift stood beside Brandon, sensing the man’s fluctuating emotions. It was the first time she’d seen Brandon so openly emotional. His gaze seemed capable of devouring the woman beside Lawyer Jones. Frowning, she softly called out to Master Brandon.
Today was her first event as Brandon’s fiancée, and she didn’t want any mishaps.
Brandon’s rationality momentarily returned, but his peripheral vision still involuntarily fell on Abigail, especially on her exposed butterfly bones and fair arms. He was furious at Benjamin for choosing such a revealing dress for Abigail.
As for Bertha’s question, he had no intention of answering.
Bertha felt snubbed and also looked at Abigail. She vaguely remembered meeting her once under the influence of Eva Bell’s drug, but it wasn’t a strong impression. Back then, Abigail was still a chubby girl with black-framed glasses.
This was also why she had readily accepted Eva Bell’s invitation. She had always believed she outshone Abigail in every aspect.
In terms of family background, appearance, and medical skills, she wouldn’t have lost in that university medical competition if not for being dragged down by Celia Agatha and Duncan Symons.
She believed she could match Abigail’s personal abilities too.
Especially in terms of appearance, in which she was most confident.
But today, she and Brandon turned into mere foils. Brandon’s looks surpassed even superstars in the entertainment industry, which wasn’t unexpected.
However, Bertha never imagined losing to someone else in appearance, and that person was Abigail.
Seeing Brandon’s gaze, Bertha turned pale but remembered her agreement with him, could only swallow her indignation. She had no right to question Brandon.
Feeling stifled, Bertha turned to see Adam Piers’s dramatic entrance in a red suit, his female companion even more flamboyant, with big breasts, a narrow waist, and an awl face. Unlike other female companions holding their partners’ arms, Adam’s companion nearly clung to him. If not for the public setting and Adam’s status, she would have suspected the two of engaging in some illicit act right there!
Bertha’s jealousy of Abigail and Brandon dissipated with Adam’s appearance.
Now, she felt only one thing: disgust.
To be touched by a promiscuous man like Adam made her feel filthy.
"Master Brandon, I need to go to the restroom." Bertha felt extremely uncomfortable since Adam’s arrival, and, unable to hold it in, she whispered to Brandon.
Brandon glanced at her, ready to nod, but then noticed Abigail and Benjamin walking toward him, so he stiffened and didn’t move. Bertha dared not move either.
Catching sight of that intense gaze, Abigail turned to see Brandon, standing beside the stunning Bertha. Instantly, her mood worsened.
But since she had anticipated this moment, she didn’t hesitate. After exchanging pleasantries with Benjamin, she headed toward Brandon.
Brandon knew his little chubby girl had become stunning after losing weight. Usually, they were casual when together, but seeing her dressed formally today, she dazzled him. Despite an inner voice urging him to stay calm, his gaze glued to Abigail, unable to look away even as she approached. His Adam’s apple bobbed slightly in a slip of composure, "Abi..."
"Can we talk?" Abigail’s mesmerizing, overflowing peach blossom eyes were far more composed than Brandon’s.
Brandon heard the coldness in her voice. The six-foot-two man took a step back, "Talk about what?"
His voice drew looks from Benjamin and Bertha, clearly surprised that the elegant and refined man, now the head of Piers, would appear so guilty when facing his ex-fiancée.
"About the breakup." Abigail’s blunt words. She knew if she wasn’t straightforward, this man might continue playing dumb.
Benjamin glanced at Bertha, "Can I buy you a drink, Miss Swift?"
Bertha understood Benjamin’s intent, nodded with a smile, and stood aside with him.
Benjamin chose their spot so cleverly; it wasn’t too far, providing space for Abigail’s conversation while appearing like four friends chatting.
Abigail gave Benjamin a grateful look, then turned back to Brandon, "I gave you three days. Today is the sixth day. Are you still planning to avoid me?"
Seeing the disappointment in Abigail’s eyes, Brandon felt heartbroken. Regret washed over him, layer by layer. His overcautiousness and deep love made him fearful of another mishap like before.
But all his worried thoughts vanished facing Abigail’s disappointment. He couldn’t utter a word, "I..."
Whoosh!
Just as Brandon struggled for a response, a commotion arose at the door.
