Virginity in second marriages by Angela
Chapter 534: Banquet (1)

Matthew had ordered that everyone who came tonight had to undergo special screening. No one could be let in without an invitation, and even if they had one, their identity had to be checked. Usually, these things were normal at a banquet, but for Cristian, it was like targeting him.

After all, Matteo did not like Cristian.

Luca had asked for this information in advance, so he had arranged everything for Cristian.

The mask was used as a signal. Someone had already been waiting at the entrance, so as soon as Cristian got out of the car, he took him inside.

People and money have always been used to extend interpersonal relationships.

Mr. Cristian, I will not accompany you downstairs. After glancing outside, Luca's gaze fixed on a certain person, he said a few flattering words," "I wish you quick success and regain Mrs. Ferrari's love as soon as possible.

Cristian had a long-lost illusion when he heard Luca call Serena Mrs. Ferrari.

As soon as Cristian got out of the car, not knowing whether because of his own aura or something else, a crowd looked toward him.

And that mask on his face really flowed with a dazzling, colorful light under the illumination of the lights.

-That one, who is he? How come he came to the banquet wearing a mask?

-Hey, didn't I hear that today is a masquerade ball? Or are we missing some information?

-It doesn't matter if it's a masked ball or not, it's so beautiful.... Whether it's his height or the proportions of his body, he has a privileged status. Even though he wears a mask, I replace... I am in love with the soft movement of his thin lips.

-Who is he? Do any of you know him? I'd like to know if he has a girlfriend.

-Anyway, he is coming here for the banquet, so let's go in later and replace a chance to meet him.

After a good discussion between the girls, they happily came to a decision.

The mask served as a signal. As soon as Cristian got out of the car, he was immediately greeted by someone. Since Luca did not explain his identity to his counterpart, the latter was in a frivolous attitude at that moment.

-Friend, you are here, I have been waiting for you for a long time, come.

After saying this, he wanted to go ahead and put his hand on Cristian's back.

But just as he put his hand in the air, he was startled by Cristian's coldness, so he unconsciously recoiled.

Although he was wearing a mask, Cristian's eyes were as deep as night, like a fierce beast sleeping in the night, his whole body exuded coldness and strength.

Such a person...

The man picking up Cristian felt a little uneasy. Looking at the figure and aura of the man in front of him, he felt somewhat similar to the Mr. Cristian he had seen from afar.

But if he were Mr. Cristian, why should he count on buying an invitation to the banquet?

-Shall we not go in yet?

Just as he was thinking, Cristian's icy voice struck him mercilessly.

The man reacted with a jolt and immediately nodded, -Come on, come with me.

He led Cristian to the entrance, then handed the invitation to the guards to enjoy.

The few who guarded the entrance were very strict in today's inspection because Matthew had told them, but they didn't know why. They just thought it was because Mr. Giordano was afraid that some outsider would take advantage of the chaos to enter, so even though the inspection was strict, they could not know everyone.

So when they saw Cristian, they were just curious why he was wearing a mask.

The man explained, "My friend likes to be mysterious, he usually does it for parties. Hurry up. I've been waiting for him here for a long time, you've seen him.

-And we have an invitation. If you don't let us in, I'll have to tell your lord Jordan.

The man was eloquent. With his tricks he quickly let Cristian in.

After entering, the man said pleasantly, -So I have already finished my mission? But-I'm curious about the purpose of your coming to this banquet?

-It is better not to ask what should not be asked. A hard look, like a knife, struck him, and the man dared not move immediately. And a moment later he said softly, "Yes, I understand...."

Cristian withdrew his gaze and paid no more attention to him, but left first.

The man quickly followed, and Cristian's steps stopped.

-You have finished your mission, there is no need to follow me," he said in a cold voice.

The man froze for a moment, then nodded obediently, -Yes, yes.

So he had to turn around in a hurry. He looked back after getting lost in the crowd, and found that the figure who was there a moment before had disappeared.

He was walking so fast... Why did this person come to the banquet tonight?

He bought an invitation, asked for help, and finally -- he wore a mask.

Was there a good show tonight?

The man stroked his chin and suddenly had some expectation.

Cristian's straight legs walked on the floor, and the light from above made his masked form stand out.

The servants unconsciously cast their eyes toward him, staring and staring.

Cristian used the time to familiarize himself with the place. Besides, there were too many people at the banquet now and the air was not good, so he might as well go out for air. Finally, he found a place like a courtyard, quiet and large.

There were some wicker chairs, a flower garden, and even a place to swing.

Cristian pulled at the ornate tie of his suit, and his thin lips lifted slightly unconsciously. He had not expected this Matteo's taste to be unique.

There was still time before the banquet began, so Cristian chose a chair and sat down.

There were quite a few people coming to the banquet, and there were others in the courtyard, but Cristian was far from them. And every now and then he heard a child's voice speaking, and Cristian unconsciously listened to it.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, my mom told me that I couldn't let people take pictures, otherwise they could be sued for violating my portrait rights.

The little boy was surrounded by the crowd, with a smile on his lips, his eyes were like two black glass beads, he looked very innocent and harmless, he was also especially kind when he spoke, he seemed like a good boy.

However, the words he said had great power.

Among those who took out their phones to take pictures when they heard him say this, everyone put their phones away.

But there were some who ignored him and took a picture of him with their phones.

Once the picture was taken, that person looked at the child cheerfully, "Can you change your pose and take another picture?

The smile on Manuel's face gradually faded and he said in a low voice, " Miss, please delete the photo.

-Oh, it's just a couple of photos, what portrait rights do you have, boy? Besides, it's an honor for you that I want to take pictures of you, okay?

The person who took the photo was a girl in her 20s, and she spoke with little courtesy.

-One more picture, hurry up.

When the people around her saw her like this, they too took out their phones to take pictures of Manuel.

-Didn't he already tell you to delete the photos?
