Chapter 181 - 181: 181: Turning the Corner, Encounter
Damn it, has she been with this man all along these past half a month?
The thought of it made Baron Stuart’s face turn sour, a hint of irritability flickering across it.
Ignoring Adrian Nash, he took a light sip of his high-end red wine.
“By the way, where is Emily Walker?” Adrian Nash seemed to do it on purpose, he glanced at Antonio Bailey standing on one side, but from the corner of his eye, he took a covert look at Baron Stuart, as if he were declaring something.
At his words, the hand that Baron Stuart had around his wine glass paused. How long had it been since he last heard that name?
His abnormality was clearly noticed by Adrian Nash, who secretly curled the corner of his mouth victoriously.
On the other hand, Antonio Bailey laughed awkwardly, “Ah…Emily, she was here just now, let me go and check.”
With that, she slipped out of the crowd.
Adrian Nash turned his head, a sexy and charming smile playing on his lips the entire time. Regardless, the feeling of victory coursed through him at having been able to take Emily away from Baron Stuart.
“Baron Stuart, shall we have a drink?” He held out his wine glass, laughing as he watched Baron Stuart.
Baron Stuart shot a cold look at the wine in his hand and walked away without acknowledging the offer, his face expressionless.
Watching his retreating figure, Adrian Nash’s smile deepened.
Rosanne Nichols on the side was somewhat puzzled.
“Congratulations, our campus beauty.” Adrian Nash turned his face nonchalantly and laughed as he looked at Rosanne Nichols.
Rosanne Nichols came back to reality, “Thank you.”
Emily Walker unknowingly found herself in the restroom, feeling a sense of tranquility in the quietness.
Standing in front of the washbasin, staring at herself in the huge mirror, on second thoughts, didn’t she look good once she was made up?
Indeed, as the international top makeup artist, Sister Carter did justice to her fame by transforming her from an ugly duckling to a beautiful swan!
Having used the restroom, Emily decided against going back to the banquet hall, preferring to find a quiet spot to spend the lingering hours instead.
Barely stepping out of the restroom, she bumped into a familiar face around the corner, her feet stopping dead in their tracks, her expression stupefied.
The perfect, jade-like face was as stunning as always, irresistibly alluring.
Seeing the person in front of him, Baron Stuart was equally surprised. But he kept that surprise tucked under his cold expression, his face, as always, void of any warmth.
Seeing his icy gaze, Emily instinctively lowered her eyes.
This man, when he had that cold look on his face, he always emitted a king-like domineering coldness, sending chills down one’s spine and making it hard to look into his icy gaze.
“Ah, Emily, I finally found you! How come you are here all by yourself?” At this moment, Antonio Bailey ran over. Since she was behind Baron Stuart, she didn’t notice the man was Baron Stuart. She ran past him to grab Emily’s hand, “Let’s go, Adrian Nash has been looking around for you. If he doesn’t see you soon, he is going to kill me!”
Emily was taken aback by Antonio Bailey’s sudden appearance and words. However, she let herself be dragged away, giving a hesitant glance back at the man standing there.
But, Adrian Nash was looking for her? Did Adrian Nash himself come as well?
The man left behind, Baron Stuart, clenched his fist when he heard those words!
Was she really with Adrian Nash?
Thinking about how her ‘beauty’ tonight was likely the result of meticulous dressing up for Adrian Nash, Baron Stuart could hardly contain the anger rising in him, spreading throughout his body.
He abruptly turned his head, watching the two run towards the wedding banquet hall..
