Night of Destiny (Anastasia Tillman)

Chapter 2054

Selena no longer wanted to listen to her parents’ conversation, so she went to the third floor and stood on the balcony. As she

looked at the brightest spot, she realized that must be where Ellen stayed. She must be surrounded by many people who propose a

toast to her and greet her. She's Mrs. Presgrave now, after all.

She was bitter and jealous, but it wasn't like. there was anything she could do about it. Unlike her speculation, Ellen didn’t meet

many people since she was pregnant. Apart from the closest relatives, Jared didn’t let anyone else meet

Ellen so that she could get srest.

At this point, all the important guests had arrived. The Mansons, the Weisses, and the Lloyds were the Presgraves’ closest friends.

In the evening, a group of women were seated in a cafe by the beach and had a talk. They were

Anastasia, Sophia, Angela, and Queenie. Now, their children were all adults, and their careers were on the right track, so they were

free to gather together from tto time. They were best friends who met up frequently, so their relationship remained robust..

Although their children worked in different parts of the world, they would cinto contact often, which strengthened the ties

between the four families.

The breeze brought with it the night's coolness. Swaiters stood near these wealthy ladies, ready to serve them at any

moment. The younger waitresses were envious of them.

These mature ladies were elegant and in their element. Apparently, they had loving husbands and brilliant children by their side.

On top of that, they had successful careers and important social statuses. Women like them were the winners in life.

As darkness descended, the entire island fell into silence. Sguests refused to go back to their rooms as they roamed around

the beach and took in the night view. Sof them were in cafes and bars.

Ethan was one of those people who just couldn't sleep. He initially wanted to ask Jared to cout and have a drink with him.

However, he decided not to bother his friend since the latter had a wife by his side. Therefore, he was seated in the bar alone as he

drank beer and pondered his family affairs.

Just then, Selena elegantly walked into the bar. She was there to look for a potential husband. The wealthy men she cacross

on the beach in the morning made her think that all the male guests were middle-aged men.

Much to her surprise, she saw a man who was just as handsas Jared in a bar in the middle of the night. He was seated under a

chandelier as the dim light engulfed him. His black shirt added a layer of mystery to his stunningly goodlooking face.

Selena was besotted with the man. As she looked at the man’s wristwatch, she realized he wasn’t just rich; he was ultra-rich.

Several women around the man were also drooling over him, and one of them got to her feet. Selena was someone who would

achieve her goal at all costs, so she certainly wouldn't let the woman approach the handsman.

Seeing that the woman was walking toward Ethan with a glass of wine in her hand, she strode toward her. Just as the woman was

about to reach Ethan,

Selena intentionally bumped into her, causing the wine to splash onto her chest.

“Ah!” exclaimed the woman. I'm supposed to chat up a handsguy. How did | end up splashing my wine onto a woman? Seizing

the chance, Selena stood closer to Ethan and questioned, “What's wrong with you?”

“I'm sorry! It was an accident.” Selena secretly pulled her dress lower and revealed more of her chest. Even the bartender couldn't

help but glance at her.

Meanwhile, Ethan looked in the sdirection to find out what was going on. When Selena caught sight of the man staring at her,

she blurted, “Forget it. | know you're a guest as well. Since my cousin is getting married, | won't settle the score with you.”
