Captive Hearts: The Tycoon's Ugly Bride novel Chapter 53

Chapter 53 Pouring Wine

"Miss Yonng has been engaged to Henry for so many years but hasn't married into the Herbart family. Is it because she has an unmentionable disease?"

Flora glared at Tammy with a fierce expression.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Henry and Miss Yonng have a sweet relationship and are about to get married."

Not far away, Vivian stood quietly, looking elegant. Tammy narrowed her eyes, secretly speculating.

Three years ago, Vivian and Henry had their engagement ceremony, but since then, the two families had yet to discuss the wedding.

It was strange. Louis had already gotten married, but Henry showed no intention of getting married.

"Are they about to get married? That would be great. They should hurry up, or I'll be a grandmother soon."

Tammy's words hit a sore spot in Flora's heart.

To be honest, Henry and Vivian were a perfect match in terms of appearance and family status. Flora had long wanted them to get married and have children.

However, Henry kept making excuses, saying there was no rush to get married. He refused to get married no matter how Flora persuaded him.

Flora decided not to stay here to embarrass herself anymore and left with a clenched jaw.

In a secluded corner of the banquet venue, Cathy drank alone with a sullen expression.

She regretted pushing Blanche into the pool. Otherwise, Blanche's real identity as a pretty girl wouldn't have been exposed by her.

It was like shooting herself in the foot and hurting herself badly.

......

"This isn't the way home." Louis drove silently all the way.

Blanche glanced at the route and realized it wasn't the way back home.

Louis raised his hand and looked at his watch.

"It's still early. I need to go somewhere first."

The car stopped in front of a bar and Louis got out.

Blanche also got out of the car and looked up at the flashing bar entrance. She wondered where they were going, but it turned out to be a seedier bar.

She followed Louis to the entrance of a private room. Louis pushed the door open and went in, and Blanche said, "I'll go to the restroom first."

Louis didn't stop her.

After Blanche went to the restroom and returned to the door of the private room, she overheard their conversation.

"Isn't it Old Mrs. Herbart's birthday banquet tonight? Why are you out here playing?" Nicky asked Louis.

"The banquet is over."

"After it's over, instead of going home, you come out to play. Oh, I see. Blanche is too ugly and you can't stand looking at her at home, so you came out to play."

Nicky continued to mock.

"If I'm forced to marry someone like Blanche, an ugly freak, I don't know what I would do. Although ugly girls are pitiful, I just can't face them."

What?

Blanche frowned. An ugly freak like her? Humph, that was a despicable description.

She pushed the door open and walked in. Nicky, who was speaking, hadn't realized that Blanche had entered.

"Louis, don't you have nightmares living with Blanche?"

Seeing Blanche approaching, Daniel started coughing.

"Ahem..."

Daniel had just come from Doris's birthday banquet. The dramatic scene of Blanche transforming from an ugly girl to a beautiful one was already etched in his mind.

Nicky didn't go, so he still didn't know the truth.

"Since you have a cold, why are you out drinking?" Nicky didn't realize what was going on and instead showed concern for Daniel, thinking that Daniel was really coughing.

Daniel was speechless. This idiot was beyond help.

"Mr. Green, did Blanche provoke you? It's not nice to talk behind someone's back, right?"

A clear female voice sounded, and Nicky turned around. Blanche walked over.

Nicky's eyes lit up instinctively. This unfamiliar woman was incredibly beautiful. How come he had never seen her in Cloud City before?

"Who are you and who let you in? I didn't invite you." However, this woman dared to challenge him. In Cloud City, who dared to speak to him like that? Nicky intentionally acted dismissive.

"Honey, why is your friend so silly? Was his head hurt before?"

Blanche walked straight to Louis and tapped her own forehead before bending over and picking up a glass of juice to sit down.

Nicky's eyes widened. This woman, who seemed not to be pushed around, actually called Louis honey and sat next to Louis.

Oh, so Louis really disliked Blanche.

Wait, this woman's voice was so familiar. He must have heard it somewhere before. Looking at Daniel's meaningful gaze, Nicky remembered it in an instant. It was Blanche's voice, wasn't it?

"Are you Blanche?"

Blanche took a sip of the juice and put it down.
