Chapter 39 The Banquet
The car sped along the quiet road.
Kristen seemed to remember something, asking, “you say Patrick belongs to Emper. Group? Then what is the relationship between Ethan and the Emper Group?”
Trisha shook her head while staring at the road ahead. “I don’t know. Emper. Group is a very powerful organization. Patrick is in charge of it. The Boss’ identity is not clear. Their team is all over the world and basically, no one dares to mess with them.”
“Then how dare you rob from them?”
“There’s nothing I don’t dare to do.”
Kristen was speechless.
“They are so powerful. Will they find out our identities?”
If Ethan found out…
Trisha snorted. She held the steering wheel with one hand, lit a cigarette with the other, and said lightly, “Impossible. I have been working in the name of T for so many years, and no one knows that I am a woman yet.”Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
The corners of Kristen’s mouth twitched. After thinking about it, she asked, “Sylv, can you help me investigate the relationship between Ethan and Emper. Group?”
“You just like his face and money. Why do you care about these things?”
“I’m just curious!”
Trisha narrowed her eyes slightly. “Don’t tell me you’ve fallen in love with him? It’s said that affection grows over time. By the way, you still have one in Tornzia…”
“Shut up. What nonsense are you talking about? I will never fall in love with someone in my life.”
Trisha didn’t say anything else in the end and sent her back to the villa before leaving.
Ethan had not returned yet. Just like that day, Kristen quickly changed into her pajamas and went back to bed.
She couldn’t help but worry. She had given Ethan a heavy kick at the end. Would anything happen to him?
No, Ethan had hit her even harder. At this moment, Kristen’s entire body was still in pain and dissatisfaction. She fell asleep in a daze.
When she woke up at noon the next day, Ethan was still not back. He must have gone to deal with what happened last night.
In the afternoon, Kristen pretended to make a phone call. After a long time, the phone was connected.
“Ethan, where are you? Why didn’t you come back last night?”
A low and hoarse voice came from the other end of the line. “I fell asleep in a meeting last night, and I’m still in the company.”
Kristen rolled her eyes speechlessly. “Meeting? Hah.”
“Oh… Will you go to the closing banquet that night?”
Today, the production crew of “The Grand World” had finished their filming. Mr. Scott organized a banquet tonight, maybe he had invited Ethan.
“Go, wait for me at home. I’ll pick you up later.”
“Okay, go ahead with your work.”
Just as Kristen was about to hang up the phone, she heard an excited male voice.
“Bro, you’re awake… Beep, beep, beep.”
She frowned as she looked at the screen. Wasn’t that Xenos’ voice? Why was Ethan with Xenos?
Could it be that this man was seriously injured? That shouldn’t be the case. She had hit him very lightly yesterday, and she was the one who had been abused!
…
Meanwhile, in the hospital, Ethan was glaring at Xenos.
“Alas, no, what’s wrong with you? I was worried about you all night, and you should treat me badly when you woke up!”
Patrick, who was next to him, looked down and smiled. “His little lover happened to call her!”
The corner of Xenos’ mouth twitched, “Ethan, how are you feeling? You cannot go on such a dangerous mission in the future! If anything happens to you…”
“Shut up.” Ethan interrupted him and raised his eyes to look at Patrick.
“Where’s the thing?”
“T took it away and we didn’t catch up with him. Maybe the news from Dragon Gate leaked out.”
Patrick’s tens of millions of yuan were spent in vain. A trace of haze flashed in his eyes. “It’s strange. T has always performed missions alone. This time, another person suddenly appeared… This person is good at disguising himself. I guess I can’t find him, but I found that T is a woman.”
Hearing this, Xenos got up from the sofa excitedly and exclaimed, “It’s a woman? No way, how did you know?”
Patrick was silent for two seconds before he said slowly, “I accidentally touched it when I fought with her last night.”
“……”
After a moment of silence, the corner of Xenos’ mouth twitched. “Pervert. You can even lose track of a woman. Bro, what’s wrong with you?”
Patrick was about to explain when Ethan’s cold voice rang out.
“Even if I can’t find T, I have to find that red hair. I’ll start with her.”
His tone was filled with anger.
At this moment, Kristen had no idea that she was wanted by the Emper. Group. She was choosing clothes in the cloakroom.
Because of the fight last night, she still had a lot of bruises on her body. She could only choose a light green sling skirt and a white suit jacket.
After Kristen had put on her makeup, she heard noises coming from the room. She put down her lipstick, looked in the mirror, and ran out.
“Are you back?”
Ethan was still wearing the grey casual suit from last night. At this moment, his handsome face looked tired.
He nodded lightly and took the enchanting and beautiful woman in front of him into his arms, with his eyes full of desire.
“Did you miss me?”
Seeing that nothing had happened to him, Kristen was relieved. She pushed him away and said coldly, “No, just take a shower. You only know how to busy yourself every day.”
Ethan lowered his head with a smile, kissed her forehead, and felt that the woman in his arms was a little strange.
“Why are you wearing a coat?”
It was summer now, and he knew that Kristen had always been afraid of heat. It was strange.
“I… I’m on my period. I feel a little cold.” Kristen didn’t expect this man to be so detailed. She could only make up a random reason and then urged, “Well, go take a shower.”
Ethan didn’t say anything else and walked toward the bathroom.
After that, they set off for the banquet at a five-star hotel. Under the strong demand of Kristen, the car drove to a nearby place and the two separated.
The banquet was made public, and there were many fans outside. Anna was waiting for her not far away. When they walked over, the crowd at the door cheered.
“Ah ah ah ah! Kristen!”
“She is so beautiful. How can she be dressed in men’s clothes, which are so cool and provocative? Women’s clothes are both beautiful and lustful!”
“I’m looking forward to the broadcast of the play!”
A group of fans stopped Kristen. Accompanied by cheers, they handed over their calling cards for her to sign.
Kristen took the paper from her and signed her name one by one. She then smiled and said, “Thank you all for your liking.”
With this smile, the fans were provoked by this face again.
Kristen took a few photos with her fans before leaving here. And she immersed herself in her thoughts for a while. Then she looked up at the night sky.
Mom, look, I have a fan now.
Not only the Golden Horse Award, which she promised to her grandpa, but also the Magnolia Award that you didn’t get in time, I’ll try my best to get it.
When she walked into the banquet, she saw Taylor Davis, whom she hadn’t seen for a long time.
Taylor had spent a lot of money on her make-up today and put on delicate makeup, but in front of Kristen, she still looked inferior in comparison.
