Starting with A Divorce by Gloria Warren

Chapter 422 Still Preparing

“Mr. Wade, how have you been?”

“Of course, I’m great. You finally have time to visit me.”

They were talking and laughing, as if there had never been any estrangement. Ainsley stood gently

beside

Manuel.

Cason stood at the side with his eyes wide open. He had never seen Ainsley look so beautiful. He

could not help but take two steps forward. Before he could speak, he was pulled back by the person

beside him.

Kaliyah looked nervously at Cason and pulled his hand harder.

Manuel continued to chat with Brady as if he did not notice it. Ainsley could not help but look back a

few

times.

The rest of the people had already started to talk about it. After all, because of the relationship between

Manuel, Ainsley, and Irene, everyone knew this awkward situation..

And now, Manuel had canceled the engagement with Irene. In the days when he didn’t respond to the

media, Irene celebrated her birthday, and Manuel had actually come to attend her birthday banquet.

What was even

more unfathomable was that he brought Ainsley.

“It seems that Mr. Gage really likes Ms. Easton. He has to bring Ms. Easton along even to attend Ms.

Wade’s

birthday banquet.”

“Of course. Otherwise, why is she Mr. Gage’s rumored girlfriend since a long time ago? It seems that

Mr. Gage

has kept in touch with Ms. Easton.”

“I don’t know what it will be like if Ms. Wade comes out later.”

Brady stood up. “Manuel, take Ms. Easton and walk around. I’ll go and see Irene.”

When he mentioned Irene, he also looked at Manuel, but it was disappointing that Manuel’s expression

did

not change at all.

Ainsley followed Manuel to the side and stood for a while, but she did not see Irene.

“Where is she?”

“Maybe she is still preparing. The banquet has not begun,” Manuel said.

Cason wanted to get closer but was pulled by Kaliyah.

“What are you going to do?” Kaliyah asked nervously. She did not want to quarrel with Cason under

such

circumstances, nor did she want to embarrass herself.

Cason shook off her hand and looked at Manuel. “Go say hi.”

“I know who you want to greet, but don’t forget that she doesn’t want to see you. Do you want to make

a scene on such an occasion? Cason, please think about my reputation. I am your wife,” Kaliyah said

disappointedly.

Perhaps what she said hurt his feelings. Cason could not take a step forward. He just greeted several

partners absent-mindedly, but his eyes never left Ainsley.

Kaliyah was mad with jealousy, but it was useless.

The banquet began. The host spoke a few words. Irene came out of the suite and quietly looked at the

hall.

The hall on the first floor was already packed with people.

Irene looked over one by one and finally found the one she wanted to see.

But when she looked around, she saw someone she didn’t want to see.

She gripped her skirt tightly, unable to believe that Manuel had brought her with him.

He clearly knew how much Irene hated Ainsley. Today was her most important day, yet he had brought

her

along!

Why? Why do you have to treat me like this?

Irene almost threw her phone away in pain. Daniel suddenly appeared and made her come back to her

senses.

“Ms. Wade, who did you see?”

“Of course, I saw a very annoying person.” Her eyes began to become sharp.

Daniel looked in the direction she was looking and only saw a woman.

The strong always had an inexplicable hostility towards each other. When Daniel saw Manuel at first

glance,

he knew that this man was not easy to deal with.

When he was abroad, he often heard people mention Manuel. His name had long been spread in the

business

world. It was said that he was a genius with ambition.

A man would always pay special attention to a man who was stronger than him. Daniel had already

developed a strong interest in Manuel.

He looked at him with sharp eyebrows. Manuel was handsome with a strong and sexy body, which

made

Daniel so jealous.

A bright light shone.

Under the light, the person beside Manuel was particularly dazzling. He could not help but look over as

well.

At the same time, he noticed that most of the men in the hall were looking at Manuel’s woman.

Even he could not help but be deeply attracted to that beautiful face and perfect figure.

“Who is that woman?” He became very interested.

When Irene heard his question, she immediately looked over and said coldly, “You mean her? That is

Ainsley Easton, a ******.”

“It looks like you have a deep grudge against Ms. Easton, Daniel said with great interest.

Trene said softly, “Didn’t Mr. Hume hear any rumors in the country? There are so many rumors about

Ms. Easton. She also has many stories.”

“If you are willing to tell me, I really want to hear it.”

“Look at the man who is holding a glass not far away from Manuel. That is Ms. Easton’s ex-husband.

He divorced her and is already married now, but he still can’t forget about her. Tell me. Isn’t she

charming?” Irene’s eyes were full of contempt.

The interest in Daniel’s eyes became stronger. The light was bright. He stood upstairs and saw the

people in the hall clearly, especially Ainsley. He could even see her eyelashes clearly.

“Looking at her face and body, I can understand why her ex-husband can’t forget about her.”

“What?” Irene raised her eyebrows. “Mr. Hume also takes a fancy to her?”

Daniel looked away and stretched out his hand. “No matter how beautiful she is, she is not as beautiful

as you tonight. Shall we go down together?”

Irene smiled and put her hand on his hand.

The sound of high heels stepping on the marble was particularly piercing. Irene put one hand on

Daniel’s hand and held her skirt with the other, gracefully stepping on the spiral staircase.

At this moment, all the spotlights and flashlights were directed at Irene. After all, she was in the

limelight

tonight.

Tonight, she was different from her usual elegance. She was wearing a tight red velvet and full-length

dress.

It was quite beautiful.

The red dress set off her fair and tender skin, and her long hair added some intellectual charm to her.

Daniel sent her to the stage and moved to the middle seat.

Irene walked to the middle and picked up the microphone. Her red lips parted slightly. “Thank you all for

attending my birthday party during your busy days. You are all good friends of the Wade family. I saw

many

familiar and unfamiliar faces and felt very

touched…”

She talked leisurely on the stage. Brady was pleased to see his granddaughter so elegant and

confident, but he still unconsciously looked at Manuel.

On this occasion today, Irene had perfectly shown her high EQ as a career woman. This kind of ability

to speak confidently in public was definitely not those inexperienced girls could get easily. Of course,

Ainsley is no match for my granddaughter,
