Chapter 273
The charity gala took place at the Garden Hotel, Farlem’s most glamorous venue.
The hotel was decorated magnificently, hosting Farlem’s business magnates and elites from prestigious families. Since the reality show, everyone knew Sheena was the owner of Angle Group. When they looked at her, there was less judgment and more admiration.
Sheena chose a black and gold embroidered evening dress, her hair elegantly swept to one side, exuding a mature and alluring charm. Despite her usual low profile, she could not help but captivate the attention of the crowd as soon as she entered.
With Skye by her side, they instantly became the focal point of discussions. Skye’s popularity in the entertainment industry, combined with Sheena’s elegance, dominated the evening’s conversation.
Initially preferring to be low–profile, Sheena found herself unable to remain unnoticeable.
Skye noticed her slight displeasure and chuckled, saying, “Well, you’re just too beautiful. Moreover, your dress fits your figure perfectly. Sure enough, bringing you to any event never disappoints! Everyone’s talking about us!”
Sheena looked at him and whispered, “You’re already making jokes so soon. It seems the daytime beating didn’t hurt much.”
Skye’s expression changed instantly, and he held her arm with a pout. “No, it hurts, it hurts… We even filmed an action scene in the afternoon, and it’s been hurting like crazy!”
Sheena could not help but laugh and lightly flicked his forehead.
Elijah observed their interaction from a distance. His gaze was cold, and the scene made him feel suffocated as if his heart was being tightly clenched. He knew he had no right to be jealous but could not shake the feeling off.
He was displeased. Very displeased!
Standing next to him, Bethany keenly sensed his tense aura, especially when she noticed the veins bulging in his clenched fists.
“Elijah, let’s go and greet Ms. Sheena and Mr. Zimmer,” Bethany suggested..
Elijah remained silent, neither agreeing nor refusing.
Bethany took matters into her own hands and proceeded toward Sheena’s direction.
Sheena and Skye were engrossed in their conversation when an unpleasant voice interrupted them.
“Long time no see, Ms. Sheena. You’re getting more beautiful. Even this heavy makeup can’t hide that foxiness of yours
Skye was furious upon hearing this and countered, “Of course, Sheena is beautiful. Even without makeup, she can outshine you by a mile. And if you call her makeup heavy today, what do
you call your face, like a smeared wall? And besides, not everyone can be a fox. Someone like you can only be a wild boar.”
“Hey!” Bethany was offended.
Was she being called a wild boar?
She was not that fat or ugly! Nonetheless, the retort came from Skye, and Bethany did not want to offend the Zimmer family in Farlem. Hence, she had to swallow this humiliation.
Sheena ignored their banter. Instead, she noticed Elijah emerging from behind Bethany. In an instant, her aura changed, turning icy with anger, like the calm before a storm.
Did he not know what Bethany had done to her before?
Moreover, she could not stand Bethany, and he actually left his duties at home to join Bethany at the charity gala!
Standing on the opposite side, Elijah almost instantly sensed the anger radiating from Sheena, and he gulped nervously.
This was bad!
He could not afford to be upset about Sheena’s interaction with Skye just moments ago because Sheena was now angry, and he knew he would not have it easy once he returned home later…
Bethany sensed the exchanged glances between the two and explained with a smile, “Elijah just missed you and wanted to see you. But since you’re here with Mr. Zimmer, he had to accompany me. Ms. Sheena, don’t be jealous.”
