Married by Accident, Taming the Billionaire novel Chapter 481

Chapter 481 Public Display of Affection

Remington grabbed Cecelia's face and laid a passionate kiss on her right in the middle of the crowd, showing off their love for everyone to see.

The single folks in the vicinity went wild, turning the place into a real party.

What made it even more hilarious was Jimmy's acting chops. While Remington and Cecelia were busy smooching, Jimmy pulled off some over-the-top expressions, perfectly portraying the heartache of losing the love of his life to someone else. Being a top-notch actor, he had everyone cracking up.

When Remington let go of Cecelia, her cheeks turned pink, and they locked eyes, brimming with love.

"I almost wish I was them!" Rupert couldn't help but say.

"You got Little Fatty, right? How's that going?" Sam inquired.

"Not great, she's giving me the cold shoulder!" Rupert sighed.

Thinking about Ariella, he felt a bit overwhelmed, unsure of how to patch things up.

"No way, you're telling me she isn't into you? That's hard to believe!" Sam teased, finding amusement in Rupert's situation.

Rupert would be the next one falling in love, in Sam's opinion.

Surrounded by a crowd of stunning ladies, Rupert found himself drawn to Little Fatty. But she didn't feel the same way, leaving Rupert with a bruised heart and a hit to his ego.

"It's not that. I'm not into her, but she's ignoring me. Her loss; I'm not short on options!"

Rupert refused to admit that he was the one being overlooked, desperately trying to save face.

"Ah, the struggles of keeping up appearances!" Sam shook his head, thinking that unless Rupert swallowed his pride, he wouldn't win the girl over.

The whole scene was lively, and everyone was having a blast. Before long, the door to the private room swung open, and Ariella walked in.

"Ariella, you finally made it!"

Cecelia stood up, pulling her inside. Seeing the big shots, especially Rupert, Ariella wanted to make a quick exit.

"Hey, you're here at last. Sing a song before you bail!"

Cecelia created a chance for Rupert by inviting Ariella.

As soon as Rupert saw Ariella come in, he sat up straight, stopped drinking, and fixed his gaze on her.

Cecelia ushered Ariella onto the couch, positioning her next to Rupert. With this assist, Rupert had to seize the chance; otherwise, he'd be letting Cecelia down.

Caught in the intensity of Rupert's stare, Ariella turned to meet his eyes.

"What's this? Too busy for me, but when someone else calls, suddenly, you've got the time?"

Rupert's tone carried a hint of bitterness. He had invited her out, and she had claimed to be occupied.

Yet here she was with Cecelia.

"Cecelia is my best friend. If she calls, I drop everything. I'd even run through an inferno for her. But not everyone gets that privilege," Ariella differentiated, unapologetic.

What could he do?

A clear double standard in action!

Rupert took a deep breath, rendered speechless and powerless.

He couldn't fathom why he seemed to lose all his charm when around Ariella.

"Remi, Cecelia, let's have a drink!"

Jimmy approached to toast with Remington's group, but Remington declined, saying, "I'm off the booze!"
