Chapter 210 Fred's Chance
The venue of the Mid-Year Party held by the Moore family was at the top hotel in River City, the Royal Hotel.
Early in the morning, the media reporters were already waiting at the entrance of the hotel. They were there not only for some invited celebrities and big shots but also for Phillip's fiancée.
The Moore family had been standing in River City for many years, and the majority of people were eager to gossip about rich and powerful families. They could be as popular as the stars.
As soon as the sunset glowed and the golden light in the sky rose, rows of luxury cars had already stopped at the entrance of the hotel.
Ann was sitting in the car, looking at the red carpet on the steps of the hotel entrance and the paparazzi surrounding them, dumbfounded.
"It's just a company party. Isn't this a bit too exaggerated?"
Fred smiled. "With the status of the Moore family in River City, any slight movement will attract the attention of many parties. What's more, the news of Phillip's fiancée has been spread out this time. Who is the marriage partner chosen by a wealthy family like the Moore family? It will affect the economic situation of the entire River City."
Ann's eyelashes trembled slightly, and her face stiffened for a moment. However, she quickly adjusted herself and forced a smile on her lips.
"So that's the case."
Yet the hand holding the handbag unconsciously tightened.
Fred did not seem to notice the unnatural expression on Ann's face as he spoke gently.
"We should get out now."
Today, Ann attended as Fred's plus-one.
Ann looked outside at the media that were taking photos of a singer. She nodded.
What she thought was that the paparazzi were all attracted at this time, and they should be able to keep a low profile and follow in.
But she hadn't taken Fred's fame into account.
As the CEO of Gael Group, the founder of Luffy Plus, as well as a famous advertising genius, Fred has his fame. In addition, this was the first time he had returned to the country. The domestic media was very curious about him.
After Fred got out of the car, he immediately attracted the attention of a lot of media.
Ann held Fred's arm and faced the flashing lights with a stiff smile.
Just as they were about to enter, they heard a man and woman arguing behind them.
"Daisy, you don't have a plus-one today, do you? What a coincidence it is! We are a preordained match!"
"Fuck off!"
This female voice was a bit familiar.
Ann couldn't help but turn around. She saw Daisy, dressed in a big red sleeveless dress. She was gorgeous and eye-catching. She wore her long hair down, and her figure was enchanting. At this time, she looked cold and impatient.
Next to her was Todd, dressed in a blue, starry sky suit, and his handsome face was ostentatiously carefree.
Ann was surprised to see this. It seemed that Todd did mean it when he said he would be going after Daisy.
Ann was waiting for Daisy to come over when she heard someone shouting.
"Phillip is here!"
Then, all the media reporters and paparazzi immediately turned in an orderly manner towards a Rolls-Royce Phantom that had just stopped at the entrance of the hotel. Ann's gaze followed the crowd uncontrollably because of the name.
Standing on the highest step at the entrance, Ann saw the black Rolls-Royce Phantom slowly open in the crowd.
A tall figure appeared.
Today, Phillip was wearing a dark black-feathered suit from Dior Homme.
Ann always thought only those as slim and sad as the drug addicts could wear suits from Dior Homme.
Until she saw Phillip.
Phillip looked perfect in the suit. The
suit was well cut and his figure was
fit for it His forehead was fully
revealed and his facial features looked so delicate.
There was a sense of arrogance and coldness in his eyes, like a vampire noble who could not be violated in the Middle Ages.
For a moment, through the crowd, Ann looked into Phillip's eyes. Ann couldn't help but stiffen, and her gaze seemed to be grasped, unable to move. However, Phillip seemed to have unintentionally glanced at her. He calmly retracted his gaze and stood in front of the car door, as if he was waiting for someone. Then, Ann saw the sweet Nadia, dressed in a cream-colored golden dress with a Princess hairstyle.
She looked at Phillip with a shy and loving gaze as she reached out to hold his arm.
They were a perfect couple.
The media reporters took photos crazily. The flashing lights kept flashing. When Ann saw them, she only felt that they were a little glaring.
Ann stood where she was and looked at the couple surrounded by the crowd. They could be said to be a perfect couple. Ann couldn't hold her tears back anymore.
"Ann."
When Fred saw her tears, he took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears from the corners of Ann's eyes. He moved sideways to block Ann's sight and looked down at her.
Ann came back to her senses and saw Fred's worried gaze. She realized that she had lost her composure and forced a smile.
"I'm fine. I was blinded by the flashlights. Let's go in."
When Daisy saw Phillip, she frowned slightly.
Just as she was about to walk in that direction, she was pulled by Todd, and her pretty face froze. She raised her foot and stepped on Todd's foot with a pair of
seven-centimeter high heels.
"Ouch!"
As Todd wailed in pain, Daisy stepped on her seven-centimeter high heels and walked towards Ann with a graceful posture.
Ann held back her sadness and held Daisy's arm with a smile. Her eyes were curved.
"You are finally here. Fred and I have been waiting for you for a long time!"
Daisy looked at Ann's face and raised her eyebrows. She smiled as well.
"Well, you can't blame me. I don't have my Prince Charming to pick me up."
Since Ann wanted to cover up her feelings for Phillip, Daisy would be happy to give her a hand and change the subject in a joking tone.
Ann coughed after she glanced at Fred, who had a gentle smile on his handsome face.
Ann turned around and pouted at Daisy, "Here, beauty, if you need it, Prince Charming can show you around our company."
The two of them laughed as they entered the hall. Fred looked at their backs and smiled.
Just as he was about to follow, he felt a gaze behind him. He turned his head slightly and met Phillip's deep, dark eyes.
Seeing the sharp hostility in Phillip's eyes, Fred looked at Nadia, who was next to Phillip, with a faint smile.
Perhaps Phillip had the upper hand when it came to having a relationship with Ann.
However, Fred thought that it was not too late for him to return.
No matter what conflict there was between the two of them, it was a fact that Ann was running away from Phillip.
And Phillip was an extremely ambitious man. Since he had chosen to tie the knot with the Ford family, it meant that Ann was not that important to him after all.
And this was Fred's chance.☐☐☐☐☐
