"I don't want to hear about unrelated people and things," Dray's voice was low and cold, without a hint of warmth.
So that's it...
Seeing the man's increasingly gloomy expression, it was clear that his initial impression of Sky was extremely bad.
Bella finally felt a little relieved.
Great, it looks like Dray has no impression of Sky at all.
She absolutely cannot let Dray recognize that Sky was the man who accompanied him at the Nightshade Club that night.
Of course, they cannot continue to have any contact either.
"I'm sorry, Dray, he's my relative and I apologize for any inconvenience caused," Bella intentionally leaned closer, pressing her body against his.
Dray could smell the overwhelming fragrance of Bella's orchid perfume, which used to make him yearn for him during their previous intimate moments.
Now, it just made Dray feel disgusted.
If it weren't for the promise he made and the fact that Bella had saved him twice, he would have thrown a woman like her out long ago.
But he still needs to find out the truth so he had to be composed. Dray didn't respond, he just moved his long legs and created a clear distance between himself and Bella.
Bella, who was left with no mercy in front of everyone, remained silent.
Fortunately, at this moment, Madam Li Harper's voice came through, "Bella, come quickly. Auntie will take you to meet our relatives and friends. Everyone can't wait to meet you."
"Okay, Auntie, I'll come right away. Dray, I...I'll go with Auntie first." Bella didn't dare to stay by Dray's side and quickly made an excuse to leave.
Dressed in exquisite and expensive jewelry and formal attire, Bella entered high society as Dray's girlfriend. Looking at those aristocrats who she couldn't normally reach, but now were flattering her, Bella felt safer than staying by the side of Master Li, a man with a cold and powerful aura.
While Bella was fluttering around like a butterfly in the crowd, Dray walked out of the banquet hall with a cold face.
On the other side, in the VIP lounge of the banquet hall, Dan did not send Sky away but brought him here secretly.
"Mr. Sky, Master Li instructed you to wait for him here," Dan said to the numb-looking Sky in a businesslike manner.
However, his words were met with silence. Sky had not spoken a word since they left the banquet hall.
He seemed to be trapped in a self-enclosed world, unable to hear any sound from the outside.
Dan sighed inwardly as he saw Sky's numb and weak face.
He took out the bottle of special medicine for his ankle sprain that his subordinate had sent and placed it on the table.
"Mr. Sky, this is the special medicine for treating your ankle sprain. There are also clean clothes next to it. You'd better apply the medicine and change your wet clothes early to prevent catching a cold."
Dan had said everything he needed to say and brought everything he needed to bring. As for whether he listened or not, he couldn't control that.
Seeing that Sky was still sitting there motionless, Dan frowned and finally turned and walked out.
"Mr. Sky, I'll be outside. If you need anything, just call me."
He left a responsible remark and closed the door to the VIP lounge, standing guard outside.
It wasn't until he heard the sound of the door closing that Sky, who had been on edge the whole time, finally relaxed.
He stared at the bottle of medicine on the coffee table and the whole set of blue wears on the sofa.
Then he looked down at his soaked clothes.
He smiled silently.
Ha...
It was a bitterly bleak smile.
How foolish he was to send himself to Bella to be humiliated.
The justice he had longed for, a fair trial and a just outcome, turned out to be nothing but a joke. Sky laughed, but soon his laughter turned into tears. His tears fell down, wetting his already sticky and cold cheeks. He curled up into a ball, hugging his knees silently, like a wounded and trapped animal licking its wounds alone.
Meanwhile, Dray left the banquet hall and headed towards his private lounge. As he approached the door, he saw Dan, who was guarding outside, and his cold eyes sank deep. "Master Li," Dan greeted respectfully. "Where is Sky?" Dary asked indifferently, looking at Dan's respectful face.
