Chapter 109

Judging by a man’s mindset, Vincent thought that Gerald, the so-called pride of heaven, wouldn’t be so attentive to Kimberly for no reason.

He even felt that the MacQuoid family wasn’t the main focus tonight. The true power player was Patterson Finance Group behind Gerald.

The handsome and imposing bachelor, Vincent, was merely borrowing the MacQuoid family’s territory.

As Kimberly’s guardian and her fifth brother, he was delighted to see such a high- quality man pursuing her.

He sat silently, seemingly indifferent to Kimberly’s plea for help.

If it were someone else, Kimberly would have outright refused. However, this man had helped her significantly today.

He was merely inviting her for a dance humbly. Thus, it didn’t seem okay to refuse him. directly.

Besides, refusing outright would make Larson Corporation seem petty.

In normal circumstances, it was perfectly common for a man to invite a woman to dance at such an event, especially when the woman was as charming as her.

Kimberly could tell that Vincent was determined to push her into this situation.

With a smile, she stood up and walked toward the dance floor. Turning around, she made a fist gesture at Vincent as if saying, “I’ll deal with you

later!”

In the center of the dance floor, Gerald and Kimberly danced gracefully, a perfect match. The others seemed to fade into the background, their colors muted, turning into mere leaves.

Noah lost track for a moment and couldn’t replace Kimberly in her seat. He panicked, thinking, ‘Oh no, what if something bad happens? Is she missing? If Christopher comes over and doesn’t replace her, I’m as good as dead.

He could not help but get nervous. He scanned the ballroom, searching for that hint of red.

Suddenly, his gaze stopped at the center of the dance floor. There, a woman in a red. dress and a man in a tuxedo moved like graceful elves, twirling around the dance floor.

Watching their clegant dance moves, he couldn’t help but admire, “They dance so

beautifully!’

Glancing around, he noticed many others were also appreciating their dance.

Undoubtedly, these two had stolen the spotlight.

Noah checked his watch, growing anxious. He grumbled to himself, “That da mn Christopher, why hasn’t he shown up yet? If he doesn’t hurry, his wife might be snat ched away by someone else.

He knew that the man in front of him was exceptional and far from ordinary.

Although Christopher was his buddy, he couldn’t deny the fact that this man was equally impressive in appearance.

Then, a thought crossed his mind. He raised his phone, capturing the perfect moment from a well-chosen angle.

He wasn’t planning to admire the photo. Instead, he intended to provoke Christopher, nudging him a bit. It was better to remind him subtly instead of constantly nagging him.

He casually opened the chat with Christopher, clicked the [+] button, chose the most

“compatible” photo, and sent it in original quality.

He swiftly completed this sequence of actions in one smooth flow.

Now, all he could do was wait.

In the middle of the dance floor, the world seemed to fade away for the couple.

“Kimberly, has anyone ever told you how beautiful you are?” Gerald said, a hint of mischief in his tone.

‘Kim?’ Hearing this intimate address from him, Kimberly was momentarily surprised. She looked at this man she had recently met and assessed him carefully.

Without hesitation, she retorted, “It seems you’re just like other men, asking such clichéd questions.”

Seeing this bright and spirited young woman before him, Gerald found her sharp. tongue incredibly adorable.

However, he liked it.

Kimberly didn’t bother to engage in verbal banter. She cut to the chase. “The esteemed CEO of Patterson Finance Group, why are you playing the role of a nob*dy tonight?”

Finally, she voiced her question. Gerald’s l*ps curved into a faint smile. “Of course, it’s for you!”

Surely, Kimberly knew that his involvement in securing her partnership with MacQuoid Group was crucial.

If it was based on strength, Larson Corporation certainly had a good chance of winning.

Luck was a fickle thing, much like winning a lottery. Although she didn’t play, she understood the slim odds.

Moreover, she remembered his words in the garden. It sounded like everything was within his grasp.

Now, his blatant confession was almost like a declaration of affection.

Kimberly was genuinely surprised. One careless step, and she sl*pped, falling backward.

Just in time, Gerald’s quick reflexes saved Kimberly, pulling her into his embrace.

This scene was captured by a guest at the party.

Feeling particularly dissatisfied, the woman couldn’t stand how all the good luck seemed to favor Kimberly alone.

A malicious thought brewed within her, and as expected, a jealous woman possessed unmatched destructive power.

Witnessing Kimberly’s fall, Vincent was alarmed. Thankfully, she was unharmed, but his favorable impression of Gerald deepened.

Gerald assisted Kimberly back to her seat and, squatting down, attempted to remove

her shoes.

Vincent was utterly shocked by the scene unfolding before him. He wholeheartedly believed that Kimberly was indeed incredibly lucky in love.

Kimberly, realizing Gerald’s actions were a bit inappropriate, quickly intervened, feeling awkward. “It’s okay, really. I just need to rest for a moment.”

However, Gerald’s protective instincts persisted.

He smiled gently, diffusing the awkwardness, and continued his actions. “I am a qualified doctor. In front of a doctor, there is no distinction between men and women.”

Realizing that he had seen through her thoughts, Kimberly felt like she wanted to disappear into the ground.

Gerald removed her golden high-heeled shoe, gently twisting her delicate foot. He pressed lightly on her joints and asked, “How do you feel? Does it hurt here?”

His touch was professional, and he seemed just like a skilled doctor. It appeared that he wasn’t lying.

Kimberly obediently answered his questions.

Finally, she heard his soft voice saying, “It’s fine, nothing serious. In the future, try not to wear such high and narrow heels. They’re easy to twist your ankle and aren’t good for your spine. Please be more careful.”

As he spoke, he helped Kimberly put on her shoes.

Kimberly found herself at a loss for words. All she could manage was to say, “Thank

you.”

Then, Gerald received a phone call, gesturing that he had to take it, and left.

Once he was gone, Vincent began teasing Kimberly.

Kimberly shot him a glare as if avenging herself for his earlier indifference.
