Chapter 560 Dirty Tricks

Max sneered, "Really? You seem to have forgotten what I taught you last time."

Sickening consternation struck through her. She hated him, but she couldn't help it.

She had never thought that there was a such shameless person in the whole world. He even dared to threaten her with her mother.

Even when facing Diego, she was not so angry and helpless.

At last, for the sake of her mother, she had to cave in.

She sighed deeply and said, "Okay, my bad. What on earth do you want? You don't want me to have contact with any men; so I have to stay home and never be an actress again?"

"Max, I am a living person. I have my own circle. I'm not a canary in your cage. Will you be happy if I become a puppet?"

Her eyes glistened with tears, which caused him heartache.

After a while, he said in a sulky tone, "I didn't mean that. I'm telling you not to get too close to other men."

Laura paused. After a while, she turned and blinked her red eyes, "Rest assured, I will keep it firmly in mind."

At her words, Max let go of her.

As soon as he put his hand down, he saw two red marks on her fair chin left by his fingers.

His eyes darkened.

He thrust his hands into his trouser pockets and said, "I'm going to a party tomorrow night, come with me."

Laura's immediately shocked.

She was a little nervous when he didn't show up.

But she had no idea that their relationship was about to go public so soon.

She had never imagined she would have to fit into the role of Max's girlfriend so soon, and yet Max didn't give her a chance to say no. With these words, he left. The following evening.

Laura pondered all day whether there was a better solution, but the answer was no.

Fortunately, Max had a special status and he usually attended such occasions with a female partner. So she figured if she kept him at arm's length, no one would see through their relationship. By now Laura was still doing her make-up.

The stylist was so experienced that it took him less than ten minutes to get her into a delicate light makeup. Then he picked out a lavender hand-embroidered dress for her to change into. After she put on the dress, the stylist lavished praise on her, saying that the dress made her look like a goddess.

Laura looked at herself in the mirror and felt exactly as the stylist had said. The shoulders of the dress were made of sheer gauze, embroidered with lifelike flowers. It was really a good match for her skin tone. However, it was not her type.

She enjoyed the glare of publicity when she was wearing her brightest dress and makeup. It felt like a big win.

Exactly, she was just an ordinary girl.

Tonight, however, she was not the real her, and she was just an appendage of Max. Without asking for more, she nodded and picked up a handbag handed over by the stylist, and left.

Laura was a bit chilled by the cool breeze in April. She folded her arms around herself and got into a car. Max gave her a glance and frowned, "Why did you pick this color?"

One dark brow rose in surprise, "It looks pretty good, right? I liked it." Her lips were glittering with lip gloss.

The lights in the car were dim, but her eyes were as bright as stars. A gleam of surprise glimmered in Max's eyes. Then he looked away and said, "Whatever."

Then he pressed down on the gas pedal and set off.

The party was held on a cruise ship. There were not only some dignitaries, celebrities, and superstars, but also tycoons from all walks of life. In addition to their wives and girlfriends, their female partners might be their friends, sisters, secretaries, or subordinates. Some people had some mysterious relationships.

Laura walked into the room in arm with Max. As soon as they arrived in the lobby, they were greeted warmly by a foreigner, "Hello, Max. It's been a while."

Max took a glass of wine from a waiter's tray and clinked his glass against his. He said, taking a sip of his wine, "I heard you want to develop your career in Ambario? Look forward to working with you."

The man knew how to read between lines. Without saying much else, he just gave a smile, "OK. Let's stay in touch."

Then he stepped aside and smiled kindly at Laura. She smiled back and followed Max to walk further inside.

"Hey, Is that Mr. Nixon? He's here!"

"Where? Whoops, it's true! Who is the woman with him? She looks familiar."

"I know her, Laura Davies. She is a Premier actress from Star Entertainment. I'm stunned that she has hooked up with Max Nixon. Such a social climber."

"Humph! I wonder how she did it."

"That goes without saying. As long as a woman is good in bed, she can get the man she wants, even Max Nixon."

"Wait, I heard he has a girlfriend, the former famous star. You know... Lily Thomson."

"No way! How dare she flirt with Mr. Nixon? Isn't she afraid of being caught by his girlfriend?"

Women's murmurs filled the party. However, even if men were curious, they disdained to discuss it at such an event. Only those women would get together and gossip when their male partners were absent. Laura held on to Max's arm in a clam manner and didn't bat an eyelid at the gossip.

Max raised his eyebrows, wearing an expression of admiration on his face.

The sponsor was a paunchy man Laura had seen at an event. He was a famous real estate tycoon in Suden. The last time she saw him, he looked arrogant. But this time he behaved as a snob, "Welcome, Mr. Nixon. Please come in."

Max nodded. The lights shone like diamonds and the music resounded through the house. Several couples were already dancing on the dance floor. Max looked down at Laura and asked, "Can you dance?" Laura raised her eyebrows and her eyes sparkled with confidence. "Of course."

They followed the music onto the dance floor. Laura had learned to dance before, and she danced with much grace. In the light, she looked like a beautiful angel in her light-colored gauze dress. Soon she left everyone amazed with her twist and turns.

Max looked down at her affectionately with a shadow of a smile touching his mouth.
