Starting with A Divorce by Gloria Warren

Chapter 66 Manuel Is Also Here

Serina added, “A day apart is like three years!”

Manuel chuckled. “Serina is right.”

Ainsley couldn’t help but laugh when she heard this, and her smile was as bright as fireworks.

Many people at the banquet looked at Manuel excitedly. Although the guests invited by the Baldry family

were somewhat influential, there were few big shots like Manuel.

They could not even come into contact with Manuel, so they were eager to attend the banquets to meet

people like Manuel.

Cason just sent invitations to all the big shots out of habit, and he had never expected that Manuel would

really come.

Seeing Manuel and Ainsley chatting happily, Cason was jealous, and his eyes turned slightly red

and cold.

Kaliyah noticed his gaze and said with a bit of grievance, “Ms. Easton is indeed more familiar with Mr.

Gage. Just now, when I greeted her, she seemed to have misunderstood me a lot. Cason, does she still

hate me?”

‘Kaliyah, it’s all my fault. Maybe she cheated on me during the marriage. You are so kind. Just ignore

her.” Cason patted Kaliyah on the shoulder to comfort her.

The guests came to talk to Manuel, but Manuel didn’t want to respond to them. In the end, he sat in the

corner, and the others didn’t dare to disturb him anymore.

Two minutes before the banquet, Ainsley finally waited for the person she wanted to see.

Mollie entered the hall in a purple dress. She was in her forties, but she still looked young and

charming.

Just as Ainsley wanted to greet Mollie, Kaliyah took Mollie away.

“Ainsley, is she the person you are looking for?” Serina looked at Mollie a few times. She had never

seen Mollie before.

“Yes.” Ainsley nodded.

Manuel glanced at Mollie and felt that she was a little familiar.

“You want to invite her to be a judge for the competition?”

“That’s right. I believe that her evaluation will help the Department of Psychology of the University of

Washington improve to another level.” Ainsley glanced sideways and was determined.

In the room, Kaitlin was dressed up. Although she had worn a pearl ****, she still felt that it was not grand

enough. In the end, she added two diamond earrings.

Lindsay urged her anxiously, “Kaitlin, why are you still not going down? What time is it? Mr. Gage

has come!”

“What? Manuel has come?” Kaitlin stood up excitedly, smiling brightly.

“That’s right! But he is talking to that ***!” Lindsay gritted her teeth.

Kaitlin picked up the bracelet and put it on. She sprayed a bit of perfume and checked her makeup in

front of the mirror. “Mom, do I look good?”

“Yes. You are the most beautiful woman in the banquet today.”

Kaitlin went downstairs in satisfaction. She had put on the most expensive dress, which perfectly outlined

her good figure. Its design did not seem rigid, and it was hollow on her back, making Kaitlin look both

gorgeous and cute.

She went downstairs and became the focus of attention. She immediately saw Manuel sitting in the

corner. She was happy, but aside from Serina, there was also Ainsley.

Her hands were clasped, and she became restrained instantly.

Lindsay followed Kaitlin and brought her to greet everyone.

After a while, Kaitlin walked to Manuel with a glass of wine in her hand. She smiled gently, “Mr. Gage,

thank you for attending my birthday banquet.”

She got closer to Manuel to toast him, but Manuel dodged. “I am sorry, Ms. Baldry. I have come with

Aisy.”

Kaitlin’s face immediately turned pale. She grabbed her dress with the other hand, not knowing

what to do.

She wished she had not come to talk to Manuel. She thought angrily, Aisy? What an intimate address!

Manuel disgraced me in front of so many people!

Kaitlin forced herself to calm down and took the glass back. “Mr. Gage, have a seat.”

After that, she left with dissatisfaction.

Ainsley could not help but laugh. She never thought that Manuel was also good at irritating others.

“What Mr. Gage said seems to have disappointed Kaitlin a lot.”

Manuel shrugged indifferently. “I was just telling her the truth.”

Serina complained, “I haven’t said that Manuel and I came here because of Ainsley yet!”

While the host was making a speech, Ainsley was eating pastries in boredom. Just as she was thinking

about how to talk to Mollie, Serina returned with a plate of pastries.

“Ainsley, when I went to get the pastries, I found that Kaitlin was doing something gingerly. She was

holding a flash ***. Once I called her, she would tremble in fear. It was really funny.” Serina laughed

happily.

A flash ***?

Ainsley looked at the huge screen and suddenly realized what Kaitlin wanted to do.

The corners of her lips curled into a smile. “Serina, do me a favor.”

“Sure.” Serina leaned over.

While they were talking, Cason went to Manuel. “I didn’t expect you to come.”

A faint coldness was on Manuel’s face. He said on purpose, “I came because of Aisy. I was afraid she

would be bullied.”

Cason tightened his grip on the glass. “Mr. Gage, you must be joking. Who can bully Ainsley? I have to

remind you that Ainsley is not a good person.

Manuel’s tone was cold. “Mr. Baldry, please mind your words. I don’t want anyone to say anything bad

about Aisy. It was Aisy who had trusted the wrong person.”

Cason was annoyed by Manuel’s address to Ainsley. “Mr. Gage, I remind you out of good

intentions.”

“No need. Mind your own business.” Manuel glanced at Cason coldly and walked back to Ainsley.

The host had finished introducing Kaitlin, and Kaitlin came up to the stage with a proper smile.

She couldn’t wait to see Ainsley’s miserable state. “Thank you all for coming to my birthday banquet.

Before that, please watch a video.”

She was impatient to humiliate Ainsley in front of so many people.

The big screen suddenly lit up. While waiting for the photos, Kaitlin looked at Ainsley proudly.

Ainsley was talking to Manuel with a smile. Kaitlin rolled her eyes and thought, you will be unable

to smile soon.

When Manuel sees these photos, he will know how shameless you are! He will know that I am the only

one who is worthy of him!

I am a well-educated daughter from a wealthy family. Who is Ainsley? She is just a woman fond of power

and wealth!

Everyone will see her true self immediately. So many reporters are invited for this moment!

Soon, not only the guests at the banquet, but all the people in the entire Seattle, including the students

from the University of Washington, will also see what kind of woman Ainsley is!
