Chapter 854
Chapter 854
There were a multitude of people in the banquet hall.
The instant Justin and Bella locked gazes, it felt as though the world
around them had faded into silence.
Cecily’s heart fluttered with excitement at the sight of her crush.
Hastily, Cecily took out her compact powder to freshen up her
appearance. Then she took cautious steps toward Justin as her heart pounded intensely.
However, just as she had walked halfway, several socialites
surrounded Justin, leaving her stranded in the outer circle.
Cecily clenched her skirt in frustration. ‘Why is it so difficult to get close to this man?’
Meanwhile, Bella had silently married this outstanding man in the past, leaving Cecily feeling indignant. Why was fate so biased? Why did every good thing go to Bella?
The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. She widened her eyes in anger and pushed her way to the front.
As Cecily got closer to Justin, she pretended to lose her balance and accidentally” lunged toward him.
Justin furrowed his brows, intending to dodge Cecily, but he was surrounded on all sides and had nowhere to go. Thus, Cecily managed to crash into his arms.
The overwhelming scent of sickeningly sweet perfume hit Justin like a wave, making him dizzy. He felt the urge to shove Cecily away from
him.
“Ah… I-I’m sorry, Mr. Salvador. I lost my balance for a moment. I’m really sorry.” Cecily pressed her hands against her chest, adopting a fragile demeanor, though she was thrilled inside.
No man could resist a woman throwing themselves into their arms, especially not such a beautiful woman like her.
However, just as Cecily lifted her pitiful eyes to meet Justin’s gaze, she trembled in fear, feeling goosebumps all over her body.
Those captivating eyes showed no emotion as they stared at her coldly, sending chills down her spine.
At this moment, Shannon and Bethany happened to come downstairs, so they witnessed this scene.
Bethany had managed to fix her face, although it had not fully recovered and required thick layers of makeup to conceal the scars
“Who is that woman who threw herself at Justin?” Shannon yawned
Just last night, Shannon had taken advantage of Gregory’s trip abroad to have a rendezvous with that young, handsome doctor.
Youth, indeed, was a blessing.
After meeting that young doctor, Shannon felt she had regained her youthful glow.
“Let’s see
”
Bethany carefully examined the scene and racked her brain before
recalling, “Oh, her name is Cecily. She’s from the Thompson family.”
“She’s a Thompson? Since when did the Thompsons have such a little vixen?” Shannon felt annoyed at the mention of the Thompson
family and quickly labeled Cecily.
Well, indeed, birds of a feather flock together, and similar characters always recognize each other at sight.
