Chapter 813 Into The Banquet

Richard's birthday banquet was at hand. Meanwhile, Clara was still pressing a bag of ice on her face in Royal Hotel, hoping she would be able to attend the banquet at her most beautiful.

However, the hundred slaps she received were brutal. Earlier, her cheeks were so swollen that Shawn thought she was a monster and kicked her out.

It wasn't until he realized what was going on that he allowed Clara into his room.

Shawn only decided to bring her along because she was young and pretty. Therefore, he wouldn't attend it with her if her face couldn't heal before the birthday banquet.

It was why he didn't treat her well for the past few days. If he couldn't stand the sight of her, he would. scold her. In fact, he didn't even touch her.

Naturally, Clara abhorred Alex and Maggie for what they did. At the same time, she decided she would. befriend people from high society during the banquet.

I know Aler is rich, but if I acquaint myself with someone even richer than him, then I won't need to fear him anymore. When the time comes. I'll scratch Maggie's face and make that jerk lick my shoe! A vicious scowl manifested on Clara's visage at the thought of that.

Fortunately for her, her facial wounds were mostly healed before the banquet started. She used thick makeup to cover what little marks remained.

Because of that, Shawn did bring her along to the birthday banquet. While they were friends with benefits, he still had a little affection for her.

During the day of the banquet, the entrance to the Grant residence was crowded. Countless guests came to attend the banquet, and any one of them was a prominent figure somewhere.

There were even a few government officials Clara had seen on television before. She was so excited that she was trembling. If I can get into the good graces of any one of them, I'll be set for life!

The look in Shawn's eyes darkened when he spotted Clara's reaction. This little b*tch can't even be bothered to hide her intentions. Is she that eager to dump me?

In a deep voice, he reminded her, "You'd better mind your manners. I may have brought you here, but if Do you cause any trouble, I won't be able to save you. understand?" you

Feeling as if a pail of cold water had dropped on her head, Clara temporarily set aside her thoughts and stared at Shawn meekly. "I'll behave very well, Shawn. I won't cause you any trouble.” Despite her words, she didn't actually care about Shawn. The moment I step through the gates of the Grant residence, I'm ditching this fatso! I don't want him to ruin my plans of getting married into a wealthy family and becoming a rich wife. Someone like him doesn't deserve me.

Upon successfully entering the Grant residence with Shawn, she slipped away after claiming she had a

stomachache.

She didn't believe he could replace her in a sea of people.

After Clara departed from Shawn, she swept her gaze across the venue, searching for any prey that fit her expectations.

Moments later, she focused on a twenty-something-year-old man with a watch that cost a few million.

With her target in sight, she deposited one of her diamond earrings into her bag and approached the man in a sexy manner.

"Mister, did you see one of my earrings? I just noticed one of them disappeared. It's a diamond earring." She intentionally lowered her head and displayed her voluptuous breasts to him.

In response, Robert Zuckerberg rubbed his chin. He was a playboy who had dated countless women before, so he was familiar with Clara's trick. Still, he went along with it.

Using the excuse of replaceing the earring, Clara brought him to an obscure corner and made love with him. After it was over, she reemerged with Robert at the banquet with slightly untidy clothes. Then, she encountered someone she knew. She saw Alex, who was lost.
