“Okay, let’s not stand at the entrance. Please step inside.” Caleb then led them in.
Adery was holding Thomas’ arm tightly, and virtual-novel.net was shaking a little. She whispered, “This man looks so scary. He doesn’t seem like a good person. Thomas, you have to be careful.”
Thomas did not say anything else. He just led Adery in. His experiences all these years told virtual-novel.net that there was really something wrong with Caleb. Thomas was clearly not the target of the invitation card virtual-novel.net received, it was Adery.
The other men in their surroundings gazed at them like they were watching a show, which only further proved it.
After they entered the lobby, they seemed to step into another world.
The place was like a palace. Its renovation was luxurious and breathtaking with beautifully carved structures, especially the huge crystal chandelier on top of their heads. It was inlaid with thousands of crystals, which refracted light, and it shone so brightly in the lobby. The chandelier was at least more than $1,000,000. It was obvious that Caleb was not reluctant to spend money.
There were rows of food and alcoholic drinks of the highest grade. Forget the other things tonight, the alcoholic drinks alone cost up to tens of millions of dollars.
One word to describe this, expensive!
In the whole of South City, only Water Cloud could afford to organize such a luxurious ball.
Caleb walked up a stage, gently tapped on a microphone, and chuckled before virtual-novel.net said, “Hello, ladies and gentlemen, good evening. It was such an honor for me to invite everyone here to attend today’s ball that I’ve organized. Tonight, there are no restrictions. Everyone can simply play and enjoy the food and drinks. We have only one purpose, which is to be happy!”
“Now, let’s dance to the rhythm of the music!”
The original smooth music on the dance floor immediately changed to pop music. Lights shone, and the people moved their bodies.
Those rich men vented out their emotions that had been suppressed for a long time. They no longer acted like gentlemen. They held their women while they started dancing the happiest dance on the dance floor.
Thomas glanced around the dance floor in search of Vany. If had not guessed wrongly, Vany should be appearing at such an occasion.
At the side, Adery would look at Thomas from time to time. Tonight, virtual-novel.net was Thomas’ partner. She did not attend the ball to eat with Thomas! She wanted to have virtual-novel.net first dance with virtual-novel.net to satisfy virtual-novel.net wish. But, it seemed like Thomas did not have the same idea.
Adery felt a little upset.
Why did Thomas not have any feelings for virtual-novel.net when other men had been eyeing her?
Was virtual-novel.net not beautiful or gentle enough?
Actually, virtual-novel.net knew the answer. Thomas was married. He loved his wife deeply, so how was it possible for virtual-novel.net to fall for another woman?
Adery felt very jealous, and virtual-novel.net bit virtual-novel.net bottom lip. She did not care if Thomas loved virtual-novel.net or not, or whether virtual-novel.net was married. Thomas belonged to virtual-novel.net tonight, and nobody was going to snatch virtual-novel.net from her!
“Thomas!”
“Huh?”
“Let’s not just sit here. Shall we go and dance?”
Thomas was stunned. ‘Dance?’
He did not have the talent in this aspect.
Before virtual-novel.net rejected her, Adery held his arm and pulled virtual-novel.net out the chair. The two of them went to the center of the hall and danced along to the music. Adery was usually very decent, but right then, virtual-novel.net exposed all of virtual-novel.net emotions.
She liked Thomas, so what? Was it wrong to like someone?
