Seeing that the woman was walking toward Ethan with a glass of wine in her hand, she strode toward her. Just as the woman was about to reach Ethan,
Selena intentionally bumped into her, causing the wine to splash onto her chest.
“Ah!” exclaimed the woman. I’m supposed to chat up a handsome guy. How did I end up splashing my wine onto a woman? Seizing the chance, Selena stood closer to Ethan and questioned, “What’s wrong with you?”
“I’m sorry! It was an accident.” Selena secretly pulled her dress lower and revealed more of her chest. Even the bartender couldn’t help but glance at her.
Meanwhile, Ethan looked in the same direction to find out what was going on. When Selena caught sight of the man staring at her, she blurted, “Forget it. I know you’re a guest as well. Since my cousin is getting married, I won’t settle the score with you.”
Selena no longer wanted to listen to her parents’ conversation, so she went to the third floor and stood on the balcony. As she looked at the brightest spot, she realized that must be where Ellen stayed. She must be surrounded by many people who propose a toast to her and greet her. She’s Mrs. Presgrave now, after all.
She was bitter and jealous, but it wasn’t like. there was anything she could do about it. Unlike her speculation, Ellen didn’t meet many people since she was pregnant. Apart from the closest relatives, Jared didn’t let anyone else meet Ellen so that she could get some rest.
At this point, all the important guests had arrived. The Mansons, the Weisses, and the Lloyds were the Presgraves’ closest friends. In the evening, a group of women were seated in a cafe by the beach and had a talk. They were
Anastasia, Sophia, Angela, and Queenie.
Now, their children were all adults, and their careers were on the right track, so they were free to gather together from time to time. They were best friends who met up frequently, so their relationship remained robust..
Although their children worked in different parts of the world, they would come into contact often, which strengthened the ties between the four families.
The breeze brought with it the night’s coolness. Some waiters stood near these wealthy ladies, ready to serve them at any moment. The younger waitresses were envious of them.
These mature ladies were elegant and in their element. Apparently, they had loving husbands and brilliant children by their side. On top of that, they had successful careers and important social statuses. Women like them were the winners in life.
As darkness descended, the entire island fell into silence. Some guests refused to go back to their rooms as they roamed around the beach and took in the night view. Some of them were in cafes and bars.
Ethan was one of those people who just couldn’t sleep. He initially wanted to ask Jared to come out and have a drink with him. However, he decided not to bother his friend since the latter had a wife by his side. Therefore, he was seated in the bar alone as he drank beer and pondered his family affairs.
Just then, Selena elegantly walked into the bar. She was there to look for a potential husband. The wealthy men she came across on the beach in the morning made her think that all the male guests were middle-aged men.
Much to her surprise, she saw a man who was just as handsome as Jared in a bar in the middle of the night. He was seated under a chandelier as the dim light engulfed him. His black shirt added a layer of mystery to his stunningly goodlooking face.
Selena was besotted with the man. As she looked at the man’s wristwatch, she realized he wasn’t just rich; he was ultra-rich.
Several women around the man were also drooling over him, and one of them got to her feet. Selena was someone who would achieve her goal at all costs, so she certainly wouldn’t let the woman approach the handsome man.
Seeing that the woman was walking toward Ethan with a glass of wine in her hand, she strode toward her. Just as the woman was about to reach Ethan,

Since Selena wanted to get the man, she pretended that she couldn’t walk straight. Left with no choice, Ethan stepped forward and supported her weight.
‘Hold on, miss. We’ll reach your villa soon.”
“What’s your name?” asked Selena, looking drunk. “Ethan Quarles.” “That’s a nice name. You’re very handsome too,” Selena said in an over-the-top tone. She believed that all men loved compliments.
On the balcony of a nearby villa, Josephine was trying to capture some photos of the night view. Just then, she caught sight of a couple walking under the lamplights, which was a beautiful sight to behold. She pressed the shutter and zoomed in on them, but when she realized who the man was, she was startled.
It’s him! Why is he walking with a drunk woman? That guy dumped me on the beach in the afternoon, and now he’s making out with a woman in the middle of the night. How inappropriate! Can’t they get a room or something?
Still feeling vexed over the incident in the afternoon, she was no longer in the mood to take any photos. Just as she was ready to go downstairs, the woman moved close enough for her to see clearly. That’s the woman who stays beside our villa.
Regardless of how handsome a man was, Josephine wouldn’t find him attractive if he was licentious Under the lamplights, Selena pretended that she couldn’t walk stably. Although Ethan felt helpless, he had to send her back.
“Hold on, miss. We’ll be there soon.”
“Mister, can I stay over in your villa? I had an argument with my mom,’ pleaded Selena as she lifted her head. “I’ll ask someone to get another villa for you.”
Ethan fished out his phone and was ready to contact someone. “Let me stay over in your villa for one night. Please.” Selena pouted, pretending to be pitiful.
“There are other vacant villas. Just give me a second.” Ethan insisted on getting her another villa. Seeing that, Selena had no choice but to give up. “It’s fine, Mr. Quarles. I guess I’ll just go back to my villa. Thanks.”
Ethan nodded. “See you.” With that, he turned around and left. Behind him, Selena watched him leave while feeling ecstatic. Ethan Quarles… I’ll get you no matter what! The trip is worth it, for I’ve found such a handsome man.
The next morning, a cruise ship pulled up at the dock. While wearing a backpack, Willow stepped out of the vessel. The people in that area couldn’t help but be attracted to her youthfulness and beauty. She’s such a beautiful and elegant lady!
A wealthy young man had been trying to talk to her while on their way there, but he still hadn’t managed to find out her name. Since they were about to part ways, he bit the bullet and asked, “Can we be friends, miss? What’s your name?” “Willow Presgrave.”
“Are you a Presgrave?” The young man was shocked. “Yeah. What’s wrong?”
“What’s your relationship with Jared?” “He’s my brother,” Willow replied. Just then, the bodyguard, who had been by her side, said, “Miss, the car is ready.”
The young man was dumbfounded, for he realized he had been trying to woo a young lady from the Presgrave Family.
“Hey…”
The bodyguard lifted his hand and said, “Please stop right there, mister.” With that, Willow headed to the car park with the protection of four bodyguards.
Josephine had woken up early to go out with her mother and have breakfast together. However, when Heidi came across some old friends, she started ignoring her daughter.
A bored Josephine sat down on a bench in the park and spaced out at the sea.
Just then, she heard a man calling out to her excitedly, “Josephine!”
When Josephine turned her head and saw the man, she immediately leaped from the bench and ran away in a particular direction, as though a disaster had struck. “Hey! Stop running!” The man quickly ran after her.
He was the man Josephine’s grandfather wanted her to go on dates with. He had been trying to woo her for over a year. Although Josephine didn’t love him, he was still zestful. However, some of his actions could be considered harassment.
The man had done things like waiting for her outside her company with flowers, proposing to her in front of many people, surprising her with lots of balloons, and putting up a banner outside the building opposite her company. He had even stalked her on several occasions.
However, Josephine’s grandfather was fond of him, so she could only run away whenever she saw him. Although she didn’t expect to see him there, it shouldn’t come as a surprise. After all, the man was wealthy, and his family was powerful in Averna. “Stop running, Joey!”
