Chapter 498
Jeremy’s sudden appearance shocked the crowd, and they all began to whisper among themselves.
“I’m not seeing things, am I? Is Jeremy Holden here at the Riveras’ party?”
“He came here willingly for Miss Anya’s sake, I presume? It’s so touching that he’s making an exception for the girl
he loves by showing his favor to the Riveras despite their family feud!”
“I guess the Riveras and the Holdens are now slowly breaking the ice even though they’ve never interacted with
each other before!”
“I heard rumors that he insisted on getting engaged to Miss Anya despite the objections of his family’s elders!”
“Whatever it is, you can’t deny that he’s handsome. I’m so jealous of Miss Anya! As if having at handsome brother
who dotes on her all the time isn’t good enough, she even has a handsome and powerful future husband in Mister
Jeremy!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Ah, I’m so jealous too!”
Amidst the whispers and the discussions, Jeremy lowered his eyes and responded curtly to Anya.
“Yes.”
His one-word reply left a lot to the imagination. His deep and firm voice was carefree and casual, and the nature of
his tone made everyone else feel as though the relationship between the two of them was much more solid than
they first thought.
It could be likened to an old couple who need not speak much to convey their thoughts due to the intimacy,
rapport, and understanding that they had developed over time.
Lucas, however, narrowed his eyes with animosity after seeing his younger sister standing with Jeremy. It had not
occurred to him that Jeremy would show up there.
Then, as if by instinct, Lucas glanced at his secretary Corinne to see her reaction.
Corinne’s expression remained as indifferent and calm as usual, and there was not much emotion on her face.
On the contrary, Missus Benet’s emotions were showing, and she shot a cold glance at Jeremy. She then looked at
her niece’s obsession with him, whereupon a trace of loathing and dissatisfaction appeared in her
eyes.
Her high heels clacked on the ground and she walked over gracefully. “I don’t remember inviting you to my birthday
party. Is this how the Holdens usually carry themselves? By turning up uninvited at an event?”
Jeremy’s face was as cold as ice and he locked his gaze on a certain person. After a long while, he finally turned to
Missus Benet and said calmly, “Sorry to bother you, but I’m here to look
for someone.”
Missus Benet frowned. “You’re looking for someone? Who could you possibly be looking for at my birthday party?”
“A woman.”
Missus Benet was not interested in the person Jeremy was looking for as she was too focused on her dissatisfaction
with him fxo.com fast updateor inviting himself to her party.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“It’s bad enough that you came uninvited to my party. Have you abided by the rules? Did you bring a female
companion?”
Her controlling side began to show, as she had a particular dislike for those who broke her rules. Jeremy did not
look too kindly at Missus Benet, and his thin lips parted open slightly as he prepared to answer her.
To ease the tension between the two sides, Anya smiled and said, “Auntie, Jeremy came here to look for me! I’m his
companion for the day!”
Missus Benet was even more disgusted when she saw her niece’s spineless response. Thought she frowned
resentfully at Anya, she did nothing about it in the end.
Jeremy, however, did not cooperate with Anya’s remark and ignored her completely as he stepped forward and
strode directly toward a girl in a straight line.
Corinne gasped and thought to herself, ‘He’s like a curse that I can’t get rid of!”
She prepared herself mentally for any eventuality and decided that she had to adapt to the situation regardless of
what Jeremy did.
Jeremy’s eyes were focused in her direction, and it almost looked like he had tunnel vision as he walked over to
where she was.
