“Becky!”
Bella tapped her on the head, “I have a sneaking suspicion that all those nasty rumors about me on the internet were your doing.”
Suddenly, Bryant came over with a glass of wine, clinking his glass in the air towards her, “Long time no see, Ms. Hamilton.”
His gaze, however, kept drifting over to me.
“Mr. Ferguson, I must say, I didn’t expect to see you here tonight.”
Bella was somewhat taken aback, quickly seeing through his intentions but chose not to call him out directly. Instead, she asked, “Since when did our entertainment world pique your interest?”
“Just looking to get a slice of the pie.”
Bryant smiled smoothly, “The question is, is Ms. Hamilton willing to share?”
His underlying message was clear: RF was looking to dip its toes into the entertainment industry.
Out of respect for Bella, a seasoned player in the field, he wanted to give her a heads–up.
To avoid any unpleasantness in the future.
Bella chuckled, “Mr. Ferguson, you jest. In any industry, it’s all about the skill.”
In the distance, Summer watched the scene unfold, seething with frustration.
Her mother was bending over backward to pave the way for Jane.
And the renowned Bryant was completely fixated on that woman.
Why her??
Ivy, just coming out of the restroom, passed by her, “Summer, why don’t you join them? Your mom was just looking for you.”
Summer rubbed her stomach, “Ivy, I… I suddenly feel a bit sick to my stomach.

I think I need the restroom.”
“Okay.”
Ivy nodded, concerned. She added, “Call me if you need anything.”
“Got it!” Summer nodded vigorously, making a beeline for the restroom.
Leaning against the door, she opened her palm to reveal a packet of white powder, her phone suddenly rang.
Seeing the caller ID, she couldn’t help but smile, “Hey, you made it?”
“I’ve been held up, can’t make it.”
The voice on the other line was a man’s, chilly, “Is Gregory accompanying her today?”
Gregory again. He was so bothered by Gregory!
He was jealous, no doubt.
Summer knew all too well how she got her status today, and she masked her irritation well, half–truthfully saying, “No, it’s Bryant.”
“Bryant?!”
“Yes.”
“Okay.”
Summer couldn’t help but probe, “Don’t you want me to do something?”
A dangerous tone crept into his voice, “What do you want to do?”
Summer replied, “She’s with Gregory today, with Bryant tomorrow, doesn’t that upset you?”
“Mind your own business.”
The man’s cold warning sent shivers down her spine, “Remember your place.
If you lay a finger on her, I swear I’ll make you regret it.”
Even after knowing him for years, Summer felt a chill run down her back.
“I… I didn’t mean that, sorry… I’ll remember!”
Summer meekly responded, hanging up the phone.

Three minutes later, having calmed herself, she flushed the toilet and left, striding towards the banquet hall.
Passing by a drinks station, she paused briefly, casually calling over a waiter, then pointed at one of the fruit juices.
“Take this juice to the lady in the mermaid dress standing next to Ms. Taylor.”
“Sure thing.”
Summer watched the waiter walk over, a satisfied smile on her face.
That packet of substance she went through so much trouble to get hadn’t been wasted in the slightest.
Bryant wants to chase Jane?
She didn’t mind giving him a nudge.
Someday, Bryant would be grateful to her!
