Jwasn’t mad at all she was clear with herself that the life she was living was the life that she wanted "Well, I suppose that
makes sense,"
she offered she didn’t want to argue with Ella any further No one could truly know whether a marriage was happy or not aside
from the involved couple themselves, anyway she couldn’t care less if Ella failed to understand that She had only bothered with a
retort because she didn’t want anyone to look down on Ethan
Despite what others might think, Ethan was the most responsible, calm, and reliable man she had ever met Ella continued
blabbering throughout dinner, boasting about how huge her luxury mansion was, and how she had servants to help her get
dressed in the morning
Now and then, she would insert minor complaints that her life had becdull and boring after she married a rich mans It wasn’t
long before Jgot fed up with Ella’s arrogant diatribe.
She furtively gathered her purse and thought of an excuse to leave once the meal was finished.
But Ella was quick to notice her intention.She immediately clung to Janet’s arm and flashed a knowing smile.
"Oh, are you going to the bathroom, Janet? We’re heading to a high-class club after dinner to play cards and maybe do a bit of
karaoke. You're coming, right?"
One of their classmates also spoke up.
"Con, Janet, you’ll be sorry if you miss this chance.Ella booked the Merry Club for us.I heard that it’s exclusive for members
only, and you can’t apply unless you own shundred million dollars’ worth of assets."

As impressive as it sounded, Jwas not interested at all.
"I’m a little tired," she said.
"I’d like to go hearly and get srest."
Ironically, her words only seemed to excite Ella even more.
"Aren’t you sick of spending your days just working? Live a little! Look, if you’re hesitating because you don’t want to spend your
hard-earned money, I can cover all the expenses for you.What do you say? We all finally got together after so long! Don’t be
such a killjoy."

Jsquirmed as everyone’s gaze locked on her. Before she knew it, Ella was pulling her into the car with a wide grin on her
face.
Moments later, they arrived at the Merry Club, where Ella claimed to have booked a private room for their enjoyment
However, when she approached the reception to confirm her booking, she was informed that it had been voided.
"We apologize, Miss.Someone has booked the entire club for today,"
The staff gave her a polite smile.
"We have finished processing your refund.Please check to see that everything is in order."
"Ella, didn’t you say that you booked the room in advance?" a classmate questioned as they waited in the corner like a bunch of
lost refugees.
Her sharp tone grated on Ella’s already fraying nerves.She tapped her long fingernails on the reception desk.
"Don’t you have other private rooms? I can afford whichever is available.Nyour price."
"I’m sorry, Miss.Like I said, the whole club is booked.There are no rooms available."
Ella gritted her teeth and glanced at her classmates.

They had been looking forward to a good tin this posh and swanky establishment, and she had bragged that she would
deliver.
She refused to lose face in front of them.
"But I booked the room in advance!" she insisted impatiently.
Even so, the staff remained calm.
"I understand, Miss, but you still cannot go inside.The club has been booked to accommodate the Larson Group, and it was the
CEO himself who made the arrangements.They will be having a business meeting here tonight."
Minutes had passed, but the group was still loitering around the entrance.

Ella was upset about the whole thing, but she knew there was nothing she could do.She certainly couldn’t afford to offend
anyone from the Larson Group.She took a deep breath and mustered a smile.
"Let’s just change venues, shall we? The staff toldthat the whole club was booked by the Larson Group."
They looked at each other in disappointment.
There were very few people in Seacisco who would dare to go against the Larson Group, and none of them belonged to that
demographic, Just as they were preparing to leave, several lengthened black limos cruised into the club’s driveway
The cars stopped in a single file next to the entrance, and each chauffeur alighted to open the door to the backseat Men in sleek
business suits and hand-made Italian leather shoes emerged one by one, looking serious and dignified, Ella’s posse gawked at
them, particularly at the man in the middle.
He stood tall among his peers, with broad shoulders and sharp features.He posed an imposing figure, and his eyes were cold
and distant.
"Look, look! That man is gorgeous.Is he the CEO of the Larson Group?"
Jwas trying to send Ethan a message, but she was jostled around by her classmates in their hushed frenzy. When she
heard mention of the CEO of the Larson Group, she instantly perked up and looked over curiously.
She wasn’t sure why she did it, either.It was as though a voice at the back of her mind was nagging at her to look.
And just like that, her eyes fell on a very familiar face just a few feet away.
