Chapter 152: Chapter 149

"That dude in the white suit, he’s twenty–six. Not a bad figure, but his face? Meh. He might look good in a mask, but those tiny eyes of his are hideous""

"The one in the blue suit, not a good catch. His family favors boys over girls. He has four sisters, any girl who marries into that family would be under pressure to have a son."

"Did you see the plump, short guy? He’s been divorced four times!"

Luna was well–versed in the lives of these rich kids. She often worked with them, so even with masks on, she could tell who’s who.

We’re locked away in a corner, chirping excitedly about the men in the room, while waiting for Zoe to show up.

After the ball began, people came to invite Luna and me to dance. We half–heartedly obliged, then made excuses to sit back down, refusing to get up for anyone else

Suddenly, a commotion arose in the crowd. Clara quickly got up to see. "Eliana, I bet the VIP has arrived."

This felt more like a queen choosing her consort than finding a business partner!

The crowd blocked my view. I couldn’t see the queen, so I casually sipped my drink, enjoying the tranquility amidst the noise.

Clara was more curious, she disappeared into the crowd to get a glimpse of Zoe.

She returned after a while, looking disappointed. "She’s covered up well, I could barely see her."

"Why so curious? You’re not a guy," I teased, "Are you planning to use your charm to boost the company’s performance?"

"Ugh, do I look like that kind of person?" Clara denied immediately.

I laughed, scanning the crowd. A woman appeared, shining like a star.

She wore a black feather mask, her eyes the only visible feature.

Taking a closer look, she was oozing money. Even the diamond hairpin in her hair was pricey.

Let alone the glittering necklace on her chest, the pearl earrings swinging on her ears, the luxurious bracelet, and the three rings on her hand, I felt like I was looking at a gold mine.

Was this Zoe? Clara and I exchanged a look, both amazed by her extravagance.

It wasn’t that we couldn’t afford the jewelry, but dressing like you’re at a jewelry show? We’d never tried anything like that.

"Miss Zoe, may I have this dance?" A man asked enthusiastically

He wasn’t the only one; at least four or five men were extending their hands.

Zoe glanced around and finally chose the most handsome man.

"She sure knows how to pick ’em," Clara sighed, "She picked the best one at first glance!"

I knew she had recognized who the man dancing with Zoe was.

Under the lights, people were dancing gracefully, like butterflies in full bloom. It was beautiful yet somewhat unreal. Suddenly, a familiar figure crossed. the crowd. I didn’t see his outfit clearly, but I was sure it was him.

Was he here too? Was he here for Zoe like the others?

The Coleman family’s power was undeniable. They didn’t need to rely on Zoe like the others.

He wasn’t the type to bow down for business, he preferred to attract people with his power and benefits.

If he wasn’t here for Zoe, then why was he here?

I was stunned until Clara broke my train of thought. "Ugh, this is so boring. I’d rather be working overtime at the office!

"Let’s go to the bar and have a drink, no need for overtime." I grabbed Clara’s hand and headed towards the exit.

"Sounds good!"

We left halfway through, took the elevator to the parking lot, and prepared to drive to the bar in Clara’s car.

As soon as we got in, Damon’s car drove out from beside us.

He drove slowly and through the window, I could vaguely see his face.

He didn’t notice me and Clara in the car, and his car disappeared from the parking lot.

Clara rolled down the window, peeked out, and hesitantly asked me, "Have you been in touch with Damon these past two years?"

"No, there’s no reason for us to keep in touch." I said flatly.

"You may not know, but in the last two years, people have been practically wearing down the doorstep of his house. Even though everyone knows he’s not a good man, there’s still a ton of people hoping to marry their daughters off to him"

Clara shook her head. "They just want to take advantage of the Coleman family’s influence."

I laughed, "Isn’t that normal? When he and I got married, both our parents had ulterior motives"

Clara chatted with me while driving. "You’re right, Sofia’s boyfriend’s family is in a similar situation to hers. They’re discussing marriage, I think it’s great."

Much better than that Ian.

Before we knew it, we arrived at a bar. It was packed.

We got a private room upstairs and chatted while drinking.

Clara called Sofia, and in less than half an hour, Sofia arrived with her boyfriend.

"Eliana" Sofia hugged me excitedly, and gave me a warm kiss on the cheek, "We haven’t seen each other for two years, you heartless woman!"

"We video chat all the time, it hasn’t been two years!" I laughed and looked at the man next to Sofia, "Is this your boyfriend? Aren’t you going to introduce him?"

"Come, let me introduce you. This is Aaron, a 33–year–old geezer." Sofia was more animated than before, her eyes sparkling. It was clear she was happy. Aaron seemed quite sophisticated, the more you looked at him, the more appealing he became. His steady gaze complemented Sofia perfectly.

He greeted me politely. "Nice to meet you, Ms. Eliana."

"Nice to meet you too." I quickly replied.

The room instantly became livelier with the addition of two people.

Clara originally planned to call Luna, but considering she had two kids, I stopped her.

Halfway through our drinks, I left the room to use the restroom.

On my way back, I suddenly saw a figure running up the stairs in a panic.

A few men with steel pipes were chasing him, they were clearly thugs..

When I got a good look at the guy being chased, my jaw dropped. Wasn’t that Joshua?!

"Joshua!"

I quickly grabbed Joshua’s hand as he approached. Before the crowd could catch up, I dragged him back into our private room.

When Clara and the others saw Joshua, they were stunned.

The sound of commotion echoed from outside as people seemed to be searching room by room.

"Why are they after you?" I asked Joshua.

Joshua shook his head with a bewildered look, "I have no clue. They just popped up out of nowhere and started attacking me. They even blocked the exit, so I had no choice but to run upstairs."
