Chapter 332
Nora sat in her chair, beaming as she watched Vivian. "Oh, these two are totally a thing," she wondered. She was absolutely obsessed with shipping couples. If it weren’t for her own status, her biggest dream would be to play matchmaker and spark romance between people.
Winifred stared at Levi for a couple of seconds. "Loser."
Winifred thought to herself, "Seriously, what good is a guy like that besides having money? I can’t believe Vivian actually likes him."
Winifred had looked into Nathan before. He was just plain rich. He could make 30 million and only spend 300 thousand dollars of it.
As for Amber’s friend Hudson, he was actually decent enough, but way too old. If he ever made a move on Amber, people would talk him to death.
Aside from Sienna, none of these people were ever easy to deal with.
“This is really good. You should try it,” Winifred said. She had a bite, found it tasty, and passed it over to Rowena.
Rowena’s cheeks turned pink as she took a bite, “Thanks, it’s really good.”
“Hudson, are you blind or what? Why’d you dump so much salt in there? Jaxon, you okay? Quick, drink some water," Amber said, her tone full of exasperation and concern.
Jaxon Palmer was Claire’s cousin, and they all went to the same school. The two of them actually got along pretty well.
Amber had invited a bunch of close friends out for barbecue today, but Hudson would be such a disaster–so clumsy and annoying, he was practically sabotaging everyone’s food.
Hudson scratched his head. “Oh, my bad, I didn’t notice.”
Jaxon, with his strong, handsome features and that sunny, tanned look, said, “Amber, I’m fine. I don’t think Mr. Grant did it on purpose. It’s hard to believe he’s never cooked–at his age, that just doesn’t add up.”
“At my age?” Hudson’s mouth twitched, and he gritted his teeth.
Seeing Hudson’s expression, Jaxon quickly apologized. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to offend you. By the way, I didn’t know what to call you. Should I call you Mr. Grant or Hudson instead?”
Amber chimed in, “It’s okay. I think you are right. I also didn’t expect his cooking to be so bad. After all, he is in his thirties, right?”
Hudson might have a baby face, but he was far from young–definitely not fooling anyone with that college kid act.
Seriously, no respect for her elders at all.
“Amber, I’m only twenty-seven, and that’s counting my birthday the old way,” Hudson frowned, reaching out to pinch Amber’s cheek.
Amber yelped from the pain and smacked him hard, sending his head snapping to the side.
He barely had time to react before Amber sent him sprawling with a swift kick.
Amber straddled him and started wailing on him. “Hudson, you jerk. How dare you pinch me? I’m going to teach you a lesson.”
“Ah, my face! You maniac! Amber, you’re a total psycho. My face! I’m ruined. I won’t let you get away with this,” Hudson howled.
Julian watched her car disappear in silence, then drove home alone. If Clark wants to mess...
Julian walked out without saying a word. He knew she had important things to handle, and he shouldn’t let something so trivial get to her.
Maybe, to her, his heart would always be at the bottom of her list.
Chapter 532
“Julian, can you give me a ride? I can’t get a cab,” Seren begged.
Julian replied coldly, “Sorry, not headed that way. Wait for the next one.” And with that, he just drove off.
Seren gave a bitter little smile as she watched his car drive away. “What’s the point of acting like that?" she thought to herself, "I am not the clingy type anyway."
Seren knew she could never measure up to Sienna, so she might as well admit defeat.
