Chapter 99

Shawn glared at Elizabeth with a gloomy expression. There was even a hint of anger on his face. “Do you want to die? Why are you smoking?”

Elizabeth came back to her senses and glanced at Shawn. The warmth and gentleness in her eyes were gone. At this moment, they were ice–cold, making Shawn feel inexplicably guilty.

Panic rose in Shawn again. He could not help but say angrily, “What are you looking at? Did I say something wrong? Smoking is harmful to your health, get it?”

Elizabeth looked at Shawn for a long time before suddenly snickering. The gentle elegance on her beautiful face had disappeared. She suddenly became radiant and flamboyant, but it only made his heart beat faster.

Especially Elizabeth’s smile, which made Shawn stare blankly. He had to press hard on his heart to prevent it from jumping out of his chest. He thought, ‘Damn it. Where had she disappeared to since I last saw her? Has she become a vixen?‘

“Mr. Longman, my health is none of your business.” Elizabeth’s eyes were cold and distant.

“Why is it not my business? I was the one who saved your life. I’m also the one who pushed you to where you are today. How is it none of my business?” Shawn was furious. He didn’t like Elizabeth’s attitude of trying to wash her hands off him. He was extremely displeased.

“Mr. Longman, are you still dreaming?” Elizabeth asked.

Shawn felt that he would be angered to death by this damn woman sooner or later. After taking a few deep breaths, he glared at Elizabeth and snorted. “Elizabeth, shut up.”

“Alright. Hurry up and replace your girlfriend then. Otherwise, she’ll replace trouble with me later. How annoying,” Elizabeth said impatiently.

“She’s not my girlfriend. I don’t have a girlfriend,” Shawn blurted out, looking at Elizabeth.

“Alright, ex–girlfriend then. Ex–ex–girlfriend, okay?” For the first time, Elizabeth felt that Shawn was annoying.

“I don’t have an ex–girlfriend or ex–ex–girlfriend either. You’re the only ex–girlfriend I have.” Shawn was a little angry at the thought of this. He swore. He was dumped in his first relationship.

Elizabeth said, “Aren’t you annoying? It’s fine if you don’t. I told you to leave now. Didn’t you hear me?”

“Elizabeth, you’re so ruthless. Seriously, I shouldn’t have followed you here. I’ve got better things to do.” Shawn was filled with anger. After shouting, he turned and stalked off.

In Megan’s room on the second floor, she had already put on exquisite makeup. She was wearing an off–shoulder white gown. Her waist was slender, and the design of the fishtail gown made her figure look even more graceful. From time to time, she would look out the door and at the time.

“Dylan isn’t back yet?” Seeing that the party was about to begin and Dylan was still not back, Megan looked a little anxious.

“Mr. Dylan isn’t back yet,” the servant waiting at the side replied.

“Where’s Audrey? Is she here?” Megan pursed her lips and sounded displeased.

“Not yet,” the servant said.

When Megan heard that Audrey was still not here, she was even more unhappy. She thought, ‘What is wrong with that bitch?

Didn’t she say that she will attend the party tonight? Why isn’t she here yet when the party is about to begin?‘

“Alright, we should go down.” As the host of today’s party, Claire naturally dressed up meticulously. She was already graceful and elegant, and her well–maintained face was covered in exquisite makeup.

“Mom, why aren’t Dylan and Audrey here yet?” Megan stood up and asked unhappily.

Claire looked arrogant. She glanced at Megan and said, “Don’t worry, they will come.” If Audrey came, so would her son.

Hearing Claire’s words, Megan did not dare to ask further.

As the matriarch of the Clifford family, Claire naturally attracted everyone’s attention the moment she appeared, especially since today was a party hosted by the Clifford family. They came over to chat with Claire.

Megan had a sweet smile on her face as she stood beside Claire, looking gentle. Naturally, she attracted the attention of many people. They turned to look at Megan. “Who is this beside you, Mrs. Clifford?”

“This is Megan Baxter. I adopted her many years ago. She just came back from studying overseas,” Claire introduced Megan

with a smile.

“Hello, Mr. Harell. Nice to meet you.” Megan had a pretty smile on her face.

“So it’s Miss Baxter. She’s beautiful. Mrs. Clifford, you are very lucky to have an outstanding son like Mr. Clifford. Miss Baxter is equally outstanding too,” another voice said.

Megan was naturally happy to be praised like this.

“But why isn’t Mr. Clifford here yet?” someone asked curiously.

There had always been rumors in the elite circles that Dylan and Claire did not have a good relationship. The reason was that Dylan’s fiancée was sent to prison seven years ago for accidentally hurting Claire.

At this moment, everyone looked at Claire, waiting for her answer.

Claire still had a graceful smile on her face as she said indifferently, “Dylan is busy with work, but he’s already on his way here.”

Knowing that Dylan was coming, everyone stopped gossiping.

Claire brought Megan to chat with some people. Megan followed Claire the entire time.

After a while, many people at the party could make some conclusions. For example, Claire loved her adopted daughter very much.

There was no lack of elite families who wanted to make a marriage match with the Clifford family. Although Megan was just an adopted daughter, she was doted on Claire. If one could marry Megan, it

naturally be beneficial to the family.

They were all from wealthy and prestigious families. There was no such thing as freedom of marriage. It was all for the benefit of the family.

The lively party hall suddenly fell silent. Everyone looked toward the entrance of the hall.

A figure walked in slowly. She wore a black strapless dress. Her skin was glowing and she was stunning. She stood there, looking aloof, but naturally attracted the attention of countless people.

No matter how exquisitely Megan dressed, she could not compare to Audrey.

Megan had seen Audrey many times in the past. At first, she thought Audrey was good–looking and that was it. However, after not seeing her for seven years, Megan did not expect that when she saw Audrey again, she had become so dazzling.

Unlike the photos, Audrey exuded a cold and powerful aura. As her cold eyes swept over the crowd, she looked like a high and mighty queen.

In comparison, Megan looked like an ugly duckling in front of Audrey. She bit her lip. She would not allow herself to be defeated by Audrey.
