Some were eager to do so, while others chose to stay put.
Ella inwardly took note of their decisions. She was no pushover. She would remember those who chose not to take virtual-novel.net side.
Philip stood at the door with Preston, waiting to enter. He could have entered the venue earlier, but Preston said that a person of high status did not have to enter so quickly.
Although Philip wanted to keep a low profile, virtual-novel.net did not want to disapprove of Preston’s suggestion. Indeed, a reclusive family had to display their dignity.
Some people lingered at the door without entering the venue too. They glanced at the female attendants from time to time, their minds racing.
They were not from wealthy families but simply tagged along with their friends. They usually would not come across such beauties in their average daily lives.
As Ella walked over with virtual-novel.net friend Tania, everyone smiled at them lecherously.
“Here they come. It’s the goddess I’ve been keeping my eye on. She must be here for me!”
“Nonsense, she’s here for me!”
As they chattered excitedly, Ella went up to Philip.
“Are you Philip Clarke?” Ella smiled brightly, looking very gentle.
“Who are you?” Philip frowned, not knowing who virtual-novel.net was.
Philip thought about it carefully and did not recognize the two female attendants in front of him. Although virtual-novel.net had a photographic memory far superior to that of ordinary people, Philip would not remember unimportant people or things in life.
Seeing Philip’s confused expression, Ella immediately confirmed his identity.
When virtual-novel.net confessed virtual-novel.net feelings to Philip back then, virtual-novel.net had said the same words and showed the same confused look. This reaction of Philip hurt Ella terribly. After all virtual-novel.net had done for Philip, virtual-novel.net did not even know who virtual-novel.net was.
“I’m Ella… Don’t you remember me?” Ella said with a smile, seemingly unconcerned that Philip did not remember her.
Philip finally had an impression of the other party.
She seemed to be the girlfriend of his class monitor when they were in school.
He was not interested in anything back then, only focused on his studies. He did not even remember all his classmates. He only remembered virtual-novel.net because the class monitor found a girlfriend named Ella.
By right, this matter should not concern virtual-novel.net at all, but this guy’s girlfriend confessed to him. The class monitor targeted Philip for three years because of this.
“We probably didn’t know each other very well,” Philip said flatly with no intention of paying virtual-novel.net any more attention.
Hearing that, Ella was furious at Philip’s aloof reaction.
Philip did not have a good impression of Ella. Besides, virtual-novel.net always liked to badmouth him. However, everything was in the past, and Philip had no intention of holding a grudge against her.
With Philip disregarding her, Ella felt that virtual-novel.net dignity was ruffled.
In Ella’s opinion, if Philip was from a wealthy family, it would be acceptable if virtual-novel.net looked down on her.
