The CEO Wants To Divorce Me -
Chapter 48
At 7 p.m., Emma and Arabella arrived at the venue of the dinner, a five-star hotel, in Emma's stretch limousine. this time, many guests had already come to the dinner hall on the third floor.
At
Arabella saw many familiar faces, from business celebrities to government dignitaries and some media reporters.
They were all dressed in flashy gowns, holding glasses of wine and exchanging pleasantries. The whole dinner party was a lively, grand and solemn scene. Arabella hadn't attended such a dinner for a long time, and surprisingly felt a bit strange for a while.
Emma saw her discomfort, took her hand and said, "Arabella, what's wrong with you? Didn't you used to go to dinners like this all the time?"
"But it's not like it used to be, our Ruth Family isn't as scenic as it used to be, and I......"
Emma interrupted her and said, "Look, that handsome man over there is looking at you!"
Arabella looked over and saw a handsome looking man in a suit looking this way, he smiled at Arabella and he raised his glass in her direction in greeting. Arabella smiled politely back and turned to Emma, "I think he's looking at you."
Emma laughed and smacked her, "Arabella, you didn't used to be this unsure of yourself, and it's enough for you to bring it up on me when you know people are looking at you." Arabella also laughed, "Actually, I don't think I have any charms, maybe he's mistaken for someone else."
"Come on, don't be modest!" Both men laughed.
Emma heard her parents calling her, and she said to Arabella, "I'm coming over."
"Okay, you go ahead."
"Dear Arabella, if you are really bored, you can go chat with that man, I think he seems to be very interested in you!" Before she left, Emma still forgot to tease Arabella a little bit. Arabella was a little speechless, and her face was unnaturally red. She turned around and walked towards a quiet corner.
"Emma, you're just in time." Emma had just walked over when her mother pulled her aside, "You help us with the guests while we go say hello to Mr. Lucius."
Emma nodded and went to receive the visitors at the door.
However, as the elevator doors opened, Emma saw the people walking out, the smile on her face disappeared and she frowned and questioned, "What are you doing here, who told you to come? Leave immediately, you are not welcome at our White family dinner party!"
The visitors were none other than Ezra and Beth.
Ezra was so arrogant and conceited, when did he ever suffer such an insult, he tensed his face, his gaze was cold and stern, "Miss White, are you sure you want to kick us out?" Emma said with disgust, "I'm sure, get the hell out of here right now!"
Ezra pulls out theinvitation, slams it in front of Emma, and walksstraight in, holding Beth's hand.
Emma opened her arms to stop them and said, "Ezra, what are you doing, do you think this is your home? You can do whatever you want here, I tell you no way, this dinner is held by our White family, I said you are not allowed to enter means you are not allowed to enter, you leave me now!"
The noise at the door caught the attention of some of the guests, who turned their heads this way, and someone kindly reminded Emma's parents of what was happening at the door.
They saw that their woman had actually stopped Ezra at the door and rushed over.
"What's wrong Emma, why don't you let Mr. Ezra in?"
"Did you hire them? Daddy and Mommy, why did you hire such a person? Do you guys know what he did to Arabella? And this mistress, what qualifications does she have to attend our family's dinner party?!"
Emma's father looked at Ezra awkwardly and apologized to him, "Sorry sorry sorry Mr. Ezra, my daughter doesn't know how to behave, please don't behave with her, please come in, is this your lady friend? Please come in too."
Emma's mother also hurriedly said, "I'm so sorry Mr. Ezra, Emma is spoiled by us, you should not be normal with her."
Ezra smiled lightly, "It's okay, it's a happy night for the White family, I'm not going to get mad about it. Can we go in now?"
"Yes, of course, Mr. Ezra you may come in."
Beth took Ezra's arm and looked at Emma with her chin raised in contempt.
As she watched the two of them head inside, Emma stomped her feet in anxiety as she questioned her parents, "How could you do this? You knew what kind of person he was, and you invited him! And that mistress, she's a bad woman!" Emma's parents looked at her with reproachful eyes, "You child is really too ignorant, do you know Ezra's status and position now, how dare you offend him, do you still want our family's business to continue?" "Then you can't...... either."
Arabella suddenly came over and tugged Emma's arm, "Emma, it's all my fault, don't let me alone affect your family's dinner party and your whole family's mood, if you keep doing that, then I have to leave first."
When she heard Arabella say that, Emma hurriedly said, "Arabella you must not say that, then okay, I will pretend that I did not see these two people can."
Arabella apologized toEmma's parents again, "I'm sorry, Uncle Wyatt, Aunt Wyatt, it's all my fault."
Emma's parents were very understanding, "It's okay, Arabella, but I hope you'll be understanding too, we need Mr. Ezra's presence at this dinner very much."
"I understand, I'm the one who gave you guys trouble."
Mrs. White held Arabella's hand, "Okay Arabella, don't say these words, you have a good time with Emma tonight. If you need us in the future, just ask, we will definitely help you."
Arabella nodded gratefully, "Thank you Aunt Wyatt."
Emma's parents went back to greeting other guests, and Emma, who still needed to continue standing at the door to greet the late guests, said to Arabella, "You don't have to stand here with me all the time, didn't you have a nice conversation with that handsome guy earlier?" "No. I just saw him planning to come over, so I hurriedly ducked to the side."
"Hey Arabella, you can't be like this all the time, Ezra can bring his mistress, why can't you be happy and talk to other men? Look, that man has been looking at you, don't you think it would be nice to go over and talk to him for a while?"
Seeing that Arabella was a bit hesitant, Emma smiled badly, "Since Ezra dared to bring Beth to the dinner, why can't you talk to other men? If it were me, I would have to talk and laugh with other men, I would be so angry with him, so angry with this scum!" It would be impossible to say that Arabella was not at all upset that Ezra brought Beth to the dinner.
Her heart was sour, she herself did not understand, why to this point, she actually still have residual feelings for Ezra.
Hearing Emma give her this idea, Arabella burst out laughing, "Emma, only you could come up with such a quirky and genius idea." Emma smiled and said, "Then do as I say and hurry up."
When the man looked over again, Emma said, "Look, he's already looked at you a few times, you have to show him something." Arabella blushed and said, "What do you want me to show him?"
Emma actually waved at the man, who froze for a moment and pointed his backhand at his chest as if to ask, "Is that calling me?" Emma nodded and the man smiled and walked towards the two, taking two glasses of wine from his tray as he passed the waiter. Walking up to Emma and Arabella, he politely handed the glasses to the two beauties.
"Hello, this is my friend Arabella, I'm a little busy tonight, can you look after her for me?" Emma said this very directly to the man, and Arabella's face reddened for a moment.
She smacked Emma, "Emma, how can you say that?"
The man said, "I'm happy to take care of such a beautiful lady, Miss Arabella, my name is Reade, I didn't bring a female companion tonight, I see you didn't bring a male companion either, how about letting me be your male companion?" Reade lifted his arm and gestured for Arabella to take his arm. Arabella blushed and didn't know what to do for a moment.
Emma said, "What are you still standing there for? Mr. Reade has kindly invited you."
Arabella shook her head and had to helplessly take the man's arm.
Emma said to the men, "Mr. Reade, make sure you take care of my friend tonight."
Reade gave Emma the OK sign, "No Problem!"
Emma laughed heartily as she watched Reade and Arabella chatting as they walked toward the center of the dinner.
She looked for Ezra and Beth among the VIPs, wishing Ezra had seen this scene.
She said with hatred, "Ezra, who do you think you are, do you think Arabella can't live without you? Today is to show you, Arabella is still so beautiful, so charming, you do not cherish her, but many men will still like her!"
In fact, Ezra was looking for Arabella as soon as he walked into the dinner.
He took Beth out early this morning, partly because he didn't want to tell Arabella directly that he'd agreed to her attending Emma's family's dinner party, and partly because he wanted to take Beth out to save Beth from making those snarky remarks to Arabella at home again.
He knew that as long as he was out of the house, Arabella would definitely be brought out by Emma.
But Ezra searched for half a day but couldn't replace Arabella, he couldn't help but be a little disappointed, could it be that this time Arabella was so obedient that she actually didn't come to Emma's dinner party?
At that moment, Beth suddenly said, "Who is that man that sister is holding?"
