Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied
Chapter 99 Something Was About To Happen

The banquet hall was crowded with people. Other than the man in front of her, no one paid Josephine any attention.

Although she was born into a wealthy family and had experienced lots of banquets since she was a child, this particular birthday banquet of the Meyer family had gathered all of Ocpeace City's famous socialites of the same level as the Meyer family. It was far from what the Bailey family could get into.

Even though Theodore had revealed Josephine as his fiancée, not a single person in the banquet hall had heard of her.

Thus, she couldn't refuse the only man who showed her kindness. Whether it was because of vanity or self-esteem, she didn't care if there was another purpose behind it.

"Thank you." Josephine took the glass of the blue cocktail from the man.

"By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet," The man smiled at her and offered his hand. "Christopher Meyer."

Josephine was dazed for a moment. Driven by the charming smile, she held his hand subconsciously, "Josephine Bailey."

"Josephine? A good name for a beautiful girl, indeed."

Christopher held the wine glass in his slender fingers and slightly tilted it in front of Josephine. The glasses collided and made a tinkling sound.

The light reflected from the glass flashed across the man's face, and she could not move her gaze away from him. For a moment, Josephine's face became red. "Your surname is Meyer? You're Mrs. Meyer's..."

As one of the Four Greatest Households in Ocpeace City, the Meyer Group's financial resources were equal to the Godfrey family's. However, their future talents greatly surpassed the Godfrey family's.

Theodore was considered one of the best successors of the younger generation. However, the second daughter of the Meyer family, who was the current president of the Meyer Group, had made her name in the business industry of Ocpeace City ten years earlier than Theodore. The branch members of the Meyer family were also extremely promising, and they had expanded their business overseas much earlier than the Godfrey family.

Christopher smiled confidently and said lightly, "It's my mother's birthday. Thank you, Miss Bailey, for taking time out of your busy schedule to come here."

When she heard the word 'mother', Josephine's eyes lit up.

As everyone knew, the former president of Meyer Group had three children. The eldest daughter and the second daughter were responsible for their domestic and overseas company respectively. However, the youngest son was well protected. So far, he had never appeared in the public.

Christopher Meyer?

As Josephine pondered over this name, she suddenly felt that it sounded familiar. She seemed to have heard it from Theodore's mother some time ago. Wasn't he the son of the Meyer Family? "Are you Mr. Meyer?" Josephine said, raising a brow.

"Just call me Christopher." Christopher smiled in a friendly way.

The son of Meyer Group, treating her like a proper lady even though he did not know her identity. Any woman would feel flattered, and Josephine was no exception.

When he saw the obvious changes in Josephine's expression, Christopher could guess what was on the woman's mind. To think that Theodore would take a fancy to such a vain woman! Thinking of this, his despise for Theodore grew.

Ever since Josephine entered the banquet hall, he had mischievous thoughts when he first saw her.

On the other side, the lounge on the second floor was bustling.

Downstairs, it was the world of the youngsters. It was also a social occasion for the businessmen who were connected with the Meyer family. The real members of the Meyer family, such as Christopher's uncles and aunts, as well as the close friends of the Meyer family, were all chatting in the lounge on the second floor.

"What's the matter? Is it not over yet?" Felicia stood at the door of the lounge. She was dressed in plain black, looking cold and prideful. She exuded an aura that warned people not to approach her.

"No, Miss Meyer, the game is in a stalemate. The banquet is about to start, do you need me to urge them?"

"Forget it." Felicia raised her hand to stop the butler. "Don't rush them, let them enjoy a game. After Dad retired, it's rare for him to replace a rival in chess. Our uncles are also watching with interest. It's not good to disturb them." As she spoke, Felicia glanced at the lounge.

Through the gaps in the crowd, she could clearly see a chessboard inside. On both sides sat Samuel and Everleigh respectively, each with one chess piece in their hands. They were focused on the chessboard.

The butler frowned, "What about the banquet?"

"It's Mother's birthday. It'll be fine as long as she's there. By the way, where is Christopher?"

At the mention of Christopher, the butler immediately looked down the stairs. "I saw Mr. Meyer just now. Look, isn't he there? He's talking to someone."

Following the butler's gaze, Felicia glanced towards the first floor of the banquet hall. She happened to see Christopher's figure in the bar area. Christopher's white teeth were showing and his almond-shaped eyes were alluring. He was chatting and laughing with the woman in front of him.

As soon as she saw this scene, Felicia's face instantly changed. "This son of a b*tch, he really can't change his flirtatious nature."

"Miss Meyer..."

The butler did not manage to stop Felicia. He watched as she went downstairs with a stern face. He immediately broke out in cold sweat for Mr. Meyer. Something was about to happen!

Felicia had a bad temper. Ever since she was a child, she disliked Christopher for behaving in a careless and lazy manner, especially when he simply flirted around with girls. He still acted recklessly even though he was married; did it not mean trouble?

When the butler was anxious, Vanessa's voice sounded from behind. "What is Felicia doing in such a hurry?"

"Madam, something has happened!"

"What happened?" Vanessa was stunned. She followed the butler's gaze and looked downstairs. When she saw Christopher, her expression changed.

"Mrs. Meyer, we are having many guests. If Miss Meyer was to get into a fight with Mr. Meyer, it won't look good if word gets out."

Vanessa was also anxious. "Hurry up, replace Everleigh. She can stop them."

...

When Felicia went downstairs, Christopher was leaning on the white piano in the middle of the hall, and Josephine was sitting on the piano chair. She was performing a famous piece by Beethoven.

After she was finished, Christopher placed the cocktail on the piano and took the lead to applaud. "Miss Bailey, you are so talented. I didn't expect you to excel in the piano."

The surrounding guests also showed their respects. For a moment, there was thunderous applause.

Josephine raised her dress and curtsied to everyone, showing a humble attitude. However, in her heart, she was extremely pleased. If she could get to know more people before Theodore came, he would be stunned by her, wouldn't he? While she was immersed in her complacency, a cold female voice suddenly came from behind. "The piece was a mess and she played wrongly in the third section. Who hired this pianist?"

The moment she heard this, Josephine's face turned pale. When she turned around, she saw a tall, short-haired woman. She looked imposing and was staring at her coldly with displeasure.

"Felicia, what are you talking about?" Christopher pretended to be surprised, greeting her.

Josephine was stunned. The woman before her was Felicia, the president of the Meyer Group.

Felicia's face was as cold as ice. "What's the matter? Did I say anything wrong? You also played the piano since you were a child. You should know better than me how some of the notes were wrong, and you still praised her?" The sound of clapping faded away, and finally, it was completely quiet. The whole place was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
