DRAMA NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 59

Greta hummed and said, “Don’t let his appearance tempt you.”
Without saying anything else, just at the moment when Frederic got off the car, it seemed like a huge light suddenly turned on, shining brightly. Anyone around us who had eyes and a normal sense of aesthetics couldn’t help but take a few more glances at him.
I first met Frederic when I was seventeen. At that time, he was just a teenager, but his appearance was already remarkably outstanding. When he stood in front of me, I felt like he was not from the same world as everyone else.
“Okay. You have to remind me all the time.” I replied with a smile.
“Of course, I will remind you!” Greta said, linking her arm with mine and holding Cecelia’s hand. The three of us walked into the hotel lobby together and took the elevator to Bless Hall.
The engagement banquet is different from the wedding banquet, it is smaller in scale and does not have much ceremony. The engagement banquet is mainly to invite relatives, friends, and some important people to have a meal. There are eight round tables in the Bless Hall, and the hotel waiters are busy setting up the scene. On the large screen, there are joyful subtitles of Janessa and Leonel’s engagement, with a background of red hearts.
“You guys are here!” Janessa said while holding Leonel’s hand. Seeing us, she happily ran over.
Janessa wore a red dress and had her hair up, looking elegant and beautiful, radiating happiness. Greta couldn’t help but exclaim, “This is a woman immersed in love!”

“Why don’t you find a formal boyfriend too?” Janessa giggled and playfully slapped Greta’s buttocks. “With your hot figure, countless men would be mesmerized by you. Finding a boyfriend would be a piece of cake for you.”
Greta proudly lifted her chin. “Men are not worthy! I want to become a woman that no man can control!”
I sat down with a smile and looked around. I noticed that quite a few people had already arrived. They weren’t just here to attend the engagement banquet. Their other purpose was to network, so they would arrive early to have time to chat with each other.
I was surprised to see Tristan, Davin, and Jaylen here today. They were sitting together chatting with Frederic.
“Isn’t that Mr. Hudson? You’re here today too?” A woman wearing a black sequin dress approached Frederic and bent over. Her smile was enchanting and radiant. She said, “Long time no see.

Frederic glanced at the woman, furrowed his brow, and felt a bit puzzled. “Who are you?”
.
.
The smile on the woman’s face froze, clearly affected. Davin, who was standing beside them, quickly spoke up, “Frederic, her name is Gillian Boyle. You invested in her movie!”
I thought, “Davin put it so delicately Isn’t she just one of Frederic’s former scandalous partners?”
After hearing Gillian’s name, Frederic no longer frowned. He smiled and looked somewhat casual. “Oh. Indeed, long time no see.”
“We can have a meal together if we have the chance,” Gillian said awkwardly. She forced a smile and hurriedly left after saying these words.
Greta was also keeping an eye on Frederic’s situation. She shook her head. “Syl, look at your husband. He really is a playboy. Only you can tolerate him for five years. If it were me, I would have quit long ago!”
Cecelia agreed, “Yes. So what if someone is good–looking? Those who despise marriage are shameful!”
Hearing the sound from our side, Frederic looked over. After
exchanging a glance with him, I tactfully diverted Greta and Cecelia’s
attention.
“Alright. Today is the joyous day of Jan’s engagement. What are you all discussing about me?” I craned my neck to look around. “Hmm, Jan, where are your parents and your future in–laws?”
Leonel was also gone.
Janessa turned her head and looked around. “My parents went downstairs to pick up relatives, and Leonel’s parents have already arrived. Leonel was just here, why did he suddenly disappear? I’ll go look for him.”
“Go on, go on,” I waved my hand.
