Purchased A Mr. Right -
Chapter 1160
Master Hsu didn't attend the anniversary celebration of the Hsu family, feeling that it was too noisy and crowded. Therefore, Anthea would not have been invited.
However, she came as Leonardo's female companion.
Adam would attend today, and Anthea had nothing to do at home.
To fulfill her promise, she called Leonardo to help him win the game and happened to know that he was going to attend this occasion on behalf of his parents abroad. Therefore she immediately offered to accompany him. But she did it for Adam.
"Well, I want to stick with Adam every minute!" Anthea said.
Leonardo felt that it was a bad idea to bring her along.
He felt uncomfortable to see Anthea flirting with Adam before his eyes!
After handing over the invitation card, Leonardo also walked in with Anthea.
The anniversary celebration was held in the open-air banquet hall. The lights of the white-jade pillars were as bright as daylight, beside which was a swimming pool. As the moist breeze blew by, it was cool and refreshing.
With the melodious music played by the band, the banquet was in full swing, and it was a beautiful scene.
As the host, Jayden was busy socializing. Although he noticed Anthea, he just glanced at her lightly without paying any attention to her.
Anthea was not a young lady of note and did not dress up.
She was wearing a casual dress, which was requested by Adam. Her dress must cover her knees because he would not allow others to see them.
There were so many people here, and he didn't allow it.
However, she was beautiful and young. Even though she did not have any makeup on her face, she still looked stunning.
Her long black hair fell behind her head smoothly, and her wrist was with a black leather rope. In the middle of the young ladies with heavy makeup, she was unique and beautiful, attracting men to look at her. Anthea did not pay attention to anyone but Adam.
In the distance, Anthea stared at Adam, who looked tall and straight and dressed formally in a navy-blue straight suit and a beige shirt chosen by Anthea. Although, his military boots were misfits.
Only Anthea knew the reason why Adam was wearing the military boots. And she felt sweet about that.
Though, someone was staring at Adam with greed in the eyes.
Anthea looked over and slightly frowned.
Shelby?
Anthea was quite surprised. After school started, Shelby had been taking sick leave. But now, she showed up in public.
Shelby was wearing a customized evening dress that matched her figure very well, making her look graceful. Both of her makeup and hair were exquisite, and her red lips were red like fire. She looked quite sexy and did not seem sick at all.
Anthea secretly pouted, knowing why Shelby was there.
Their eyes met inevitably. Shelby was stunned for a moment, and then her expression became cold and gloomy.
Anthea touched her forehead and thought, "Life is so horrible."
Not long after, Shelby said something to two young ladies with her skirt in her hand, and then the three came to Anthea slowly.
Leonardo was a frivolous young master in school. However, he came from a rich and powerful family. It was only reasonable for him to be respectful to greet the elders as he attended on behalf of his parents. Anthea was left alone, surrounded by Shelby and the other two.
"Hey, why did you come in such a dress?" One of the girls said to Anthea.
"It's so disgraceful. Wearing such a causal dress on such an important occasion. It's not even as formal as the waiter!" The other judged.
After the two girls finished saying, Shelby added, "Anthea, you are wearing a booth dress, aren't you?"
Wearing expensive dresses, the three of them were like proud peacocks, holding their heads high.
Anthea blinked her eyes, looking cocky, and said, "Well, how do you know that?"
Shelby had thought that Anthea would feel badly humiliated after being scolded like this. But she did not expect that Anthea ignored her so arrogantly.
"Shelby, don't talk to her anymore. Even I feel ashamed by being close to her!" "It seems that her dress is the most shabby in the banquet hall. It's so disgusting! If I were her, I would not have been able to raise my head, and I would have left as soon as I could!"
Agitated by Shelby, the two young ladies could not stop taunting Anthea.
Anthea looked very calm as if she did not hear a thing.
At this time, a man in a suit was walking towards them. He looked young and promising. The three of them instantly stopped talking and straightened their backs, showing a graceful posture. Shelby got used to such a scene as she had always been the focus no matter where she went, let alone she dressed well today.
Shelby dressed up to attract Adam. She repeatedly asked Jayden to invite Adam to attend.
When Shelby just arrived at the banquet hall, many gentlemen came up to chat with her. Just like in school, she did not like them, but she enjoyed the superiority of being admired by them. However, the gentleman went straight to Anthea and asked, "Excuse me, may I ask if I have the honor of inviting you to dance?"
"I am sorry, but I can't dance!" Anthea grinned.
"That is a pity!" The gentleman was deeply regretful.
The faces of the two young ladies, including Shelby,
turned livid.
Shelby clutched her hands and looked at Anthea with a resentful look.
Thinking of what Anthea put her through in the past few days, Shelby wanted to vent out her grudge.
After the gentleman left disappointed, Anthea also turned to leave, feeling that it was a waste of time to be with the three. Seeing that the long table opposite was filled with snacks by the waiter, she felt hungry. Just as Anthea was about to leave, she was tripped.
There was a swimming pool beside her, and the poolside was damp, making her lose her balance in an instant.
Anthea opened her eyes wide in panic, fell straight into the swimming pool, and got herself all soaked.
"Ah -"
A sharp scream suddenly sounded.
But it was not from Anthea but the person next to her.
Plop!
Plop!
As two people fell in the water, a huge splash of water splashed from the pool, pouring onto the ground.
Everyone at the banquet was shocked. When the others heard the noise, they looked over and found two young ladies standing by the pool edge speechless with their faces looking so shocked and their mouths wide open while two girls fell in the poor, creating a splash of water.
When Shelby stretched out her foot, Anthea noticed her scheme.
Anthea could have avoided it, but she did not. Instead, she stumbled and fell into the swimming pool. However, the second before she lost balance and fell, she dragged Shelby into the pool as well. Both of them had fallen into the water, and Anthea did not immediately float up. Instead, she held her breath and sank.
Many people gathered at the poolside. Shelby was caught off guard and was dragged down by Anthea like a frightened duck. The water in the pool splashed, and no one noticed that her hand was quietly reaching out from under the water.
