Chapter 194 An Old Acquaintance Picking a Fight
Hans’ entire body exuded a sense of alienation.
“Thank you for your kindness, but there’s no need.”
“Mr. Grant, do me a favor. After all, we have been partners for many years,” the man said in a flattering tone.
Hellen compressed her lips and looked up at Hans with a smile.
“Go ahead. I can walk around here.”
Hans frowned as if he was worried about her.
Hellen lowered her voice, “You can join them and get some news.”
Hans took a deep look at her.
“Okay, you don’t go far, and don’t go to the garden.”
Hans only left after Hellen agreed.
Staring at the man’s back, Hellen let out a sigh.
The news of the Grant family and the Jovano family was the strictest in Tempe City.
She had noticed that those bosses were cooperating with the Grant Group. She had been worried that if Hans did not even drink a glass of wine with them, they would feel that they were not well respected.
Unconsciously, she had started to think for him?!
The corners of Hellen’s mouth twitched and she quickly found an excuse for herself. This was probably her friendliness and courtesy to a partner.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
The seminar was held officially this time.
Wilson was an important guest, so he would not show up at the beginning.
Hellen’s eyes flashed slightly. She imagined herself to be Wilson and began to ponder…
If she were Wilson, she would have planned to find a partner during this seminar.
In the face of such an important matter, he should be hiding somewhere and observing everyone in the hall.
Hellen’s eyes lit up.
With a smile on her face, she stared at the glass of juice in her hand and quickly sketched out the location of Ronal Manor in her mind.
If he wanted to get a clear view of the situation in the hall, he would have to stand at the landing corner of the stairs on the second floor.
The second floor of Ronal Manor did not belong to the seminar area.
Hellen turned around and walked to the champagne tower, staring somewhere.
Through the glass, she could vaguely see the staircase of the second floor.
There was a tall black figure.
The corner of Hellen’s mouth was slightly raised. It seemed that she was right.
Hellen’s mind quickly began to think back to the files about Duke Wilson.
The Wilsons all liked people with good manners, and they were from the royal family, so they attached great importance to etiquette.
Hellen’s every movement became graceful.
After all, she was the president of the Jovano Group. After standing there for a while, a few married women and young ladies came over and chatted with Hellen.
Hellen tried her best to maintain all of her etiquettes. She wore a faint smile on her face as she interacted with them one by one.
Those married women were so excited.
“Miss Jovano, I heard your brother hasn’t had a girlfriend yet. My niece is single too, and she’s very pretty!” a married woman said excitedly.
Hellen felt a headache coming on, but she still had a faint smile on her face.
After chatting and laughing with waves of people.
She was a little tired.
She looked around her and saw a spare single-seat sofa before walking over slowly.
Hellen complained in her heart, ‘Screw etiquette and elegance.’ She didn’t understand how those royal members of Empire Y could keep an elegant manner for such a long time.
It wouldn’t be impolite to find a small sofa to sit on as long as she didn’t move.
As Hellen was pondering, she heard a female voice ring out from behind her.
“Oh, isn’t this the daughter of the Jovano family? Oh no, should I call you little Miss Jovano now?”
The woman’s voice was very loud. Immediately, many people around turned to look at her.
Hellen turned around and looked at that familiar face, the corner of her mouth twitching slightly.
This was her college classmate.
She was Cara Whyte, the daughter of the head of C&W Group, one of the rich second generations at Tempe University.
When they were at Tempe University, the relationship between Hellen and Cara was bad.
It was just because Cara disliked Hellen at that time.
Hellen made herself smile.
“Cara, long time no see.”
Cara was slightly stunned and sized Hellen up from head to toe, and she doubted if she had the wrong person.
When she was at college, as long as she verbally attacked Hellen, Hellen would always hit back coldly.
Moreover, this woman was extremely vicious in Cara’s heart.
Back then, it was because she had offended Hellen that she had been expelled from Tempe University and had no choice but to study abroad.
“What are you pretending for?” Cara noticed that everyone around her was looking at her, so she lowered her voice.
Hellen raised her eyebrows and kept warning herself in her heart that she had to maintain elegance and politeness.
“Miss Whyte, when did you come back from abroad?”
But Cara who was standing in front of her said in a cold voice.
“Hellen, how dare you ask me about it? It was because of you that my father sent me overseas!”
When this matter was mentioned, Cara’s heart was filled with hatred towards Hellen!
Because she suddenly went abroad, her boyfriend broke up with her at that time. It was all because of that bitch Hellen!
Recently, her family business in Imperial Capital had been developing well. This made Cara more confident.
She crossed her arms and had a look of disdain on her face.
“Hellen, so many years have passed, but you haven’t changed, except for your baby bump.”
Cara sneered, recalling the recent gossip she heard.
“I’m not married yet, but you’re already divorced. Now you’re pregnant, I’m quite curious about your baby’s father.”
Hellen sneered and tried her best not to punch the seemingly valuable face in front of her!
Cara covered her mouth and laughed arrogantly.
“Don’t tell me that you don’t know? I heard a lot of gossip at that time. Some people said that your baby’s father was Hans, and some people said that it was Eddie’s.”
Hellen’s face turned cold.
“Miss Whyte, you’d better watch your mouth!”
If it weren’t for the sake of leaving a graceful and polite impression on Wilson, she would have slapped her in the face just now.
Cara felt more and more confident. She gave a small snort of laughter, “These two families are not bad. No matter who is the real father, you shouldn’t keep it a secret. Don’t tell me that you don’t know. When we were in college, I told you to stay away from clubs.”
The people around were silent. Cara’s voice was getting louder and louder, and others also heard her words.
“This is a seminar. Who is that woman? She’s so arrogant.”
“The daughter of the head of C&W Group. C&W Group was started in Tempe City, but later, the whole family moved to Imperial Capital.” The speaker whispered, “This family has a feud with the Jovano Group. Cara provoked Miss Jovano before, and she wanted to compete with Miss Jovano in everything. At first, Miss Jovano didn’t pay much attention to her, but she was getting more and more outrageous. Everet was so angry that he drove C&W Group away!”
“I don’t think the situation is the same today. When has Miss Jovano ever been so passive as today? Is C&W Group powerful in Imperial Capital?”
